I think thematically there's a lot of The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford in Red Dead 1 & 2. A world that's moved on but the main characters refuse to give up their way of life, so they're living on borrowed time and they know it. And in some ways they almost are wondering why death is taking so long and are getting impatient. It's gotta be Brad Pitt's best performance. It's a multi-layered character that you can't ever really pin down, and he's scary as hell too.

can someone tell me how we destroy the "top 10" idiocy from youtube. who even watches those, yet they keep coming up when you just want to find a specific clip (turns out i didnt even want a youtube, it was the the naked gun intro generator* i was looking for)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFul4_mL8B4 * btw including gopro in the keywords is inspired

I'd like to think a lot of people who watch those just need background noise or were looking for a specific scene. I can't imagine just watching a Top 10 video without a specific reason.

They're making videos that are exactly like the weird ~20 min shows that you would frustratedly skip past several times daily back when TVs existed irl

You just have to prepare for it to skew mostly away from fiction and more towards DIY or documentary stuff. I've watched a bunch of those top-whatever-I-already-know-about lists and I can't explain why. I don't usually gravitate towards them but I guess sometimes I really do want white noise.

I usually just lurk this thread, but I had to chime in with Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man, starring Johnny Depp. The Neil Young score is the cherry on top.

I liked Dead Man more rewatching it this year than I did when I loathed it in college, but I still didn't like it. It feels quirky for quirky's sake and is a whole lot more shallow than it thinks it is. It's parody-level pretentious at times, and I like a lot of other Jarmusch.

Why would you watch Deadman when you could watch Ghost Dog, Jarmuusch's samurai gangster movie scored by RZA?

I’ve only seen Ghost Dog back in college for an Asian Philosophy class. Probably worth a rewatch.

I want to know more movies that have the fantasy of a happy ending, but then show you that's not how it is. Movies that prompted this post: Brazil 25th Hour La La Land Recent movie, still airing in cinemas: Bong Joon-ho's Parasite Since it's directly about endings I put the titles in spoiler tags. Feel free to the same, regardless of how old the movie is.

I love Westerns and I bounced pretty hard off of Deadman for whatever reason. I think it, and Jarmusch's work in general, just goes too far out of it's way to be quirky and subvert expectations that it feels forced.

I mean the same sort of holds true for the bad version but it's pointlessly muddied. It's a good movie, too.

_aaron posted:You could have said “spoilers for <name of new movie>” and then put the rest of your question in spoiler tags. Well it's a catch 22 because in this instance just knowing the name of the movie is part of the spoiler. If it was a single detail that's one thing but when the question is "hey what movie does this potentially unexpected thing?" then just knowing the name of the movie under the text can spoil it for those that haven't seen it yet.

I'm going to watch Otto Preminger's Exodus, but my knowledge of history really sucks. I know nothing about the founding of the modern state of Israel or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Will the movie still work if I don't know about any of that stuff or do I need to have at least a passing familiarity with it? What should I read (that is of reasonable length) to give me like a working knowledge of that part of history?
