Its kinda unfair to compare it to No Country For Old Men to be fair. I felt genuinely cheated by that one

A mockumentary can't do anything for me. I have not liked This Is Spinal Tap, Fear of a Black Hat, A Mighty Wind... It's not just the music ones, the one about the dog show with Eugene Levy was likewise unenjoyable. Someone told me to try Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, and I thought it was also not worth my attention, and that's the one that everyone said was the best. Mockumentaries are like the SNL sketches of movies, where you decide what joke you want to tell and then what could have been a tight forty five seconds becomes ninety minutes of mugging. Actual documentaries are funnier when not trying to be. We have too many music mockumentaries in particular, and they only proliferate because you can't make movies about actual musicians that are anything less than hagiographies, unless you want the hard dick of the record company slamming your prostate because Heaven forbid we show the depraved and degenerate musicians doing all the poo poo that they fully cop to.

Who felt cheated by No County for Old Men? That ending was really really good.

The best part of the ending of No Country For Old Men was that I could get up out my seat and think about all the far better ways I could 2 hours like doing the dishes or cleaning a toilet because that sounds more fun than that critical wank cluster of a movie. Its not the worst film I've ever seen but its definitely the least satisfying. Best movie of 2007 people said? Superbad was ten times the movie No Country for Old Men could hope to be JollyBoyJohn has a new favorite as of 16:39 on Jan 11, 2020 |

Walk Hard isn't a mockumentary, it's a spoof of a biopic.

Even though it's edited to make all the 'bad guys' look worse than they really are, The King of Kong remains the best documentary, if only because the idea of people getting that intense over Donkey Kong high scores is incredible and the lengths those assholes go to in order to gently caress over Wiebe is mindblowing. (The best character in it in Steve Wiebe's daughter. "Some people will ruin their lives over Donkey Kong, won't they?" Yes, little girl. Yes they will.  )

As someone (a) whose airways get irritated by cold air and (b) lives in Minnesota, rest assured that we are coughing all the time specifically and solely to annoy you and that it's super fun.

If "plating" and "plated" are pretentious kitchen terms then it seems pretty obvious that "loving" and "hosed" are pretentious sexual terms. You sex-havers always shoving your nose in the air with your fancy words

JollyBoyJohn posted:I should really get that watched I mean I also really liked No Country for Old Men so my endorsement may not be applicable to you. But I honestly just have a good time watching DDL get into characters and nail the accents and he's chewing the scenery pretty much the whole time. IMO it doesn't "cheat" you in the same way that No Country did either, in case that was the major sticking point for you.

I finally watched it this weekend and genuinely loved it, DDL is such an excellent actor and the film really looked and sounded the part

I have a bad impression of There Will Be Blood-- it's a great movie, but every wannabe master-of-the-universe I knew in college treated that movie like a loving case study and wouldn't stop quoting it.
