I love videos like these. It shows how the best thing in a category just becomes the norm after a few years and how people keep innovating. Plus, I've always liked the whole "in the shoulder of giants thing". Really shows how the bootstraps thing and "I did this on my own" is complete bull.

Get Russell Crowe as George Donner, Christian Bale as James Reed etc. Get some deranged but well-liked director who will literally starve their actors and force them to drive wagons across a salt flat in Utah then live in ox-hide lean-tos in a blizzard. Oscar bait start to finish.

I saw the film in an art-house cinema in Brussels/Belgium more than 20 years ago and about the only thing I remember from the experience is that I was broken leaving the theater... Thanks for the reminder though, searching for info on it now I found that the film is completely downloadable from the director's website http://www.syberberg.de/Syberberg2/Events_2003/uncut.html , and think it's time for a rewatch.

The Miseducation of Cameron Post was good. Great performances, great cinematography, great soundtrack, and the 90's aesthetic feels good. It is, however, incredibly frustrating spending the majority of the film in a gay conversion camp run by Nurse Ratched-lite. It perfectly captures the emotional abuse in the name of Christianity and faith and how that further complicates the moral confusion and self-doubt that is being a teenager in puberty, but it does so without vilifying religion and faith as a whole. It's kinda like Lady Bird set in a gay conversion camp, but not nearly as warm-hearted and optimistic.

Am I wrong or is this a Big Deal? It wasn't really on my radar:quote:EU to move ahead with cultural quotas for streaming services Seems like this is more likely to cause streaming services to shudder service in a lot of areas than to produce more local content. But in my wildest dreams this produces an environment akin to Italian cinema in the 60s and 70s.

Watched Jawbreaker with some friends last night, and I liked it! Felt like a good bridge between Heathers and Mean Girls, without being as good as them, but still able to hold its own. I feel like there was a more interesting version lying another pass or two into the script, where Rose McGowan gets turned on by the power of killing a girl, hiding the body, and forcing the only willing witnesses to cover up and goes on to kill more people, but what it presents is already pretty dark and weird, so maybe it was fine playing it a little lighter. Still, liked the performances, cinematography, and candy-colored production design.Dissapointed Owl posted:I vaguely remember a black and white movie called Singapore Sling. Anyone here seen it? Something about a private eye and bizarre sexual scenes is all I remember. I’ve seen it. It’s not that good. Great cinematography, but the script is pretty weak and the only thing it has going for is is the contrast between well-lit neo-noir visuals and sexual perversion. The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover is a much better mix of grotesquerie and beauty. bushisms.txt posted:I'm waffling on Super cause I haven't seen it and i don't know how far things get with it. The actors are crowd favorites though. If your audience has issues with sexual violence, do not show Super. As a whole, Super is a very dark, unpleasant movie, but there is a scene where Ellen Page rapes Rainn Wilson and it’s just about the grimmest thing in the whole movie.

It does a good job of predicting callout culture pre social media. Also Judy Greer in one of her wildest roles

You can basically define James Gunn by the fact he wrote “and then the GIRL rapes the GUY!!!!!!!” into a script and clearly thought it was some hardcore shocking poo poo

Unintentionally adding that element of ambiguity to an extremely gross, unpleasant scene is not a good thing.

He's divorced, lives alone, deeply resentful while pretending he's not, has been "wronged" by a woman, and in turn lashes out by pointing guns and is never properly punished for that. The pathetic parts of the character are inherently relatable, especially for the alt-right crowd, and as such they're going to admire him even more. Not sure how they square him being Jewish though.

Not all alt right poo poo bags hate the Jews. This is especially true with Christian Bigots where if they're really Christian (like actually read the Bible) they think the Apocalypse can't happen without Israel existing so while they think all Jews are going to hell, they are cool with them existing. The weirdest version of this was always Jack Chick, who hated everyone, including Christians in his own branch that didn't take things seriously enough, but he was usually oddly positive towards Jews and it really stuck out.

Used to hang out with a sentient Trump loving turd that hated Jews and was bitter about only being an extra in movies (he was well over 400 pounds so I don't know what roles he was expecting?). He would rant about Jews running Hollywood and all that poo poo but then he'd be super supportive of Israel. I asked him how he could reconcile being a massive anti-semite while supporting Israel and his response was "Israel is where Jesus is going to reemerge". This was like 15 years ago and it was my first exposure to this idiocy.
