Samuel Clemens posted:Can someone explain to me why the camera in Avengers: Endgame is always slowly moving to the left or right during dialogue scenes, even when there's no apparent reason for it? Is it meant to make a shot feel more dynamic? Because it was kind of starting to bother me after about half an hour.

Thanks for the explanations. I guess the technique must work effectively if they keep using it, but all it did for me was making me more aware of how uninspired a lot of the compositions looked.

I've put together another letterboxd list, looking for any releases I may have missed: Bideo James, a depressing list of movies about (not based on or documentaries about) video games - and how pathetically they've been handled thus far. Is there a single movie not by Neveldine/Taylor that is remotely good about the recreational activity of playing games? Sports has tons of good movies, how does videogames have none?

Is there a single movie not by Neveldine/Taylor that is remotely good about the recreational activity of playing games? Sports has tons of good movies, how does videogames have none? Haven't seen it, and I didn't really care for his movie Buzzard, but Joel Potrykus' Relaxer sounds like it captures the essence of gaming quote:Inspired by a magazine article about the now-disgraced video game champ Billy Mitchell, Cam comes up with “one more final, ultimate challenge”: beat level 256 of the original Pac-Man. It’s an impossible goal, given that reaching said level triggers one of the most famous bugs in classic arcade gaming—an integer overflow error not unlike the Y2K bug, suggesting some mystical confluences between the end of the game and the end of the world, protracted adolescence and pre-millennial fears, personal meltdown and glitch. Nonetheless, Abbie completely (and surreally) submits himself to the task, partly out of a mistaken belief that he will be rewarded a $100,000 prize. Weeks pass, then months. Per the rules of the challenge, he remains on the couch, dressed only in his undies, eventually acquiring a covering of dried god-knows-what and a beard that gives him an unsubtle resemblance to Leonardo DiCaprio’s Howard Hughes, locked in his screening room in The Aviator. (Quotations of Scorsese movies with alienated, mentally ill protagonists always seem to pop up in Potrykus’ films: Taxi Driver in Buzzard, The King Of Comedy in the earlier Ape.) Having repeatedly failed to get Chuck E. Cheese delivered to his insalubrious digs, he subsists on whatever is within reach. Where the solid waste goes is a question Relaxer leaves up to the audience’s imagination. It’s a big couch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGI0lfavk3E

Have you not seen it? It's actually done fairly well. I tend not to enjoy Adam Sandler in anything, but this is an exception.

The Wedding Singer was my generation’s Blazing Saddles. Fight me in real life. Sandler tanked with his Grownups phase. From what I’ve heard his last couple of Netflix movies have been pretty decent.
