X-Ray Pecs posted:Slice of life: lol at my coworker parroting Jesse Ventura’s statement that Chris Kyle’s lie about clocking him ruined The Body’s life and that he’s no longer able to get work because of it. That whole episode in history is kind of amazing. It's one stupid idiot telling absurd lies about a different stupid idiot. The two idiots try race each other to the bottom of Dumbass Mountain and both lose.

I was really surprised that not only are subscriptions up for them, they're really up. Stranger Things/Black Mirror/whatever else really seem to be doing it for people.

I'm only looking forward to more Bojack and Love's final season. I never watched ST2 or the new Black Mirrors, and I've been bored by the service for a few months now. Amazon Prime's selection is just way loving better.

While it's his most infamous, I'll note that it's not indicative of the rest of his filmography, in the sense that of what I've seen his other works don't feature the same violent extremism. The Decameron, for example, is an enjoyable sex-comedy. The Hawks and the Sparrows a philosophical neorealist film. His Oedipus Rex is a unique, low-budget adaptation. Basically, what I'm saying is, if Salo is too much for you his other works don't include quite so much on-screen torture or feces.

Subject matter aside, Salo is absolutely indicative of the rest of his filmography, at least the films that aren't about saints.

therattle posted:Where did I say a nice shot can't do both? I love Children of Men; I think it's an amazing film. I just don't think that Atonement does both, because Joe Wright is an overrated hack and Alfonso Cuaron isn't. So, you think that I watch films wrongly because my views don't coincide with yours, and you read things into what I've written which just aren't there. What next? My text on my avatar was given to me lol

Atonement is a sappy bad film and deserves no further mention other than that it unearthed the cinematic gift that is Saoirse Ronan

Pasolini is easily my favorite filmmaker ever and, yeah, The Gospel According to St. Matthew is magnificent. I think my favorite of his is still The Decameron.

Vegetable posted:Atonement is a sappy bad film and deserves no further mention other than that it unearthed the cinematic gift that is Saoirse Ronan How is a movie where a girl wrongfully accuses someone of child rape, who then is forced into the military where he dies, only for the accuser to ease their own conscious by writing a romantic version of events sappy? The end of the movie is, I successfully got away with destroying and profiting off someone's life, neat. Did you all actually watch the movie?

Netflix seems like a massive financial scheme that will ultimately collapse in a few years, when it's revealed they've never actually been profitable. I mean, the opacity of their measurement of their own success SHOULD be ringing alarm bells for people, but everyone's just happy to let Netflix define their own value. Netflix is profitable so long as they claim to be, and people buy into that claim. I do give Netflix props for realizing they were gonna bleed content that wasn't theirs rapidly, and in response building a gigantic engine of original production and international content acquisition. but their user interfaces have never, ever been good. I hate that I have to be on the ball to make sure it doesn't autoplay the next episode so I can enjoy the credits in peace.
