yea ok posted:the most recent restoration with the added footage that looks like poo poo and the intertitles that replace the totally missing footage. 147 minute thing or something Nice... well not the footage looking like poo poo, but I'm glad those parts of the movie aren't missing forever. I think the latest version I've seen is the 2001 version which is a little over two hours long, I need to watch the latest restoration.

I really disliked Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and I don’t really understand the praise of it but I guess I’m glad it’s for somebody. please don’t hit me with that “well you need to know the history” bs I will fight you; also I knew the history well I like Only God Forgives a lot for how bad I basically think it is, but I have a lot of patience for Refn stuff for some reason which is a bit out of character for me. He plots very slowly but he does plot and it always looks real nice. The themes he works with always hit home with me. I haven’t finished Too Old to Die Young though.

Ironically, I would have preferred another 10 minutes or so for the section about Rick's Spaghetti Western career so they didn't have to suddenly bring in Kurt Russell to do double-duty as a narrator for the first and only time in the film.

Sorry, yes, I was not trying to call you out. I’m glad you had a thing you enjoyed! You deserve enjoyable things. Every so often I’ll slide into a CineD thread and every person who was like “eh I didn’t like this” got bumrushed by faux-history buffs. I’m doing the thing where I’m developing defense mechanisms because of things that have nothing to do with anyone! I am becoming and you are all witnesses. I think my favorite film from last year was Knives Out. I liked other movies a lot and they may have even been better, but Knives Out is the only one that won’t make me anxious to rewatch. Hey friends, also, good movie talk: I rewatched L.A. Confidential and that is some extremely good movie watchin’.

i was intensely bored by only god forgives (and a joke with pals was to call it only god forgets because none of us could remember the plot) but the moment he said "wanna fight?" and it smash cut to that scene i laughed so hard i got sick and the movie went from purely boring to dumb and schlocky. it looks nice but its not very good as an actual story. neon demon ruled though. fan of refn.

I don't remember anything about it either except it being vaguely pretty and retrowave-y...but I'm pretty sure I remember this scene. They're at a party, Gosling's like wanna fight? And then they go to the fight and he gets his rear end kicked super hard It's like the one thing I remember from the movie, except it being vaguely edgy and dark

You guys sitting here talking about great movies and I had to watch Silent Hill last night for my wife's birthday... ...which turned out to be not as bad as I remembered. The script actually made logical sense for a supernatural ghost story, it was well-shot and directed, and they lifted the sound effects and music directly from the first game. It's frustrating though that my wife thinks a movie like Silent Hill is creepier and more off-putting than Get Out or Us. Fifteen+ years of friendship and six+ years of marriage and I still haven't come to grips with the fact that our taste in horror movies will always be vastly different.

CobiWann posted:You guys sitting here talking about great movies and I had to watch Silent Hill last night for my wife's birthday... People are scared of what they're scared of and not much in horror is objectively scary to everyone. I watch a LOT of horror but the two scariest movies in the world to me are We Need To Talk About Kevin and Still Alice because they pick at things in my life that are deeply terrifying. That's why every movie is a horror movie. It's been awhile since I saw Silent Hill but maybe it just has some imagery that taps into something from your wife's past or just into a long standing fear of hers, while Get Out and Us don't, and I don't think that's a bad thing.

I like Silent Hill. It basically takes the story of the Centralia, PA mine disaster and turns it into (more of)a horror story.

The reactions it provokes are intensely individual and it's a real joy when you can find one that evokes that in yourself, or you can introduce someone to a movie that gets at them in the same way, especially when it's a fear you didn't even know you had.

Watched a British miniseries from 1978 called Law & Order last night. It's not remotely like the US series we all know or its' UK spinoff (though there is a connection, more on that in a bit), which more often than not takes the side of the cops and prosecutors featured on the show. Instead, it's about how every level of the British justice system is corrupt, from the police to the courts to the prisons. It's shot in an almost documentary style, with absolutely no music that isn't diegetic, and the actors certainly look more like real cops than the polished stars on modern TV. There's even a bit of a Guy Ritchie connection, too, as P.H. Moriarty (Hatchet Harry from Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) and Alan Ford (from Lock Stock and also Brick Top from Snatch) both make appearances in the series. It was apparently unoffically banned in the UK, as after its' initial showing, there was a huge uproar from both the public and members of Parliament, which led to the BBC not showing it again for almost 40 years. As for its' connection to the US series we are all familiar with: apparently the show's producer was friends with Michael Mann (of Miami Vice fame), and showed it to him, and somehow or other it got mentioned or shown to Dick Wolf, who decided the title (and slightly altered concept, moving away from the "all coppers are bastards" worldview of the original) would be perfect for a US version of the show. Anyhow, that's a lot of words to say it's a pretty drat good miniseries and I recommend people check it out.

The Brits are absolutely obsessed with banning things. It’s entirely non partisan as well, the right and left and everyone in between just have different things they want to see banned.

I remember when I lived over there during the early 1990s, getting heavily into horror films and reading about the phenomenon that was the "video nasties" period of the 1980s. I also remember being shocked when I discovered that it was illegal to screen A Clockwork Orange in theaters over there, which led to the Scala movie theater in London being shut down when they did a screening of it (although that was less of a British government thing and more Stanley Kubrick having taken legal steps through Warner Brothers to ensure it would not be shown anymore in British theaters during his lifetime).

Kubrick was real good at holding his breath until he passed out when mommy wouldn't let him have chocolate pudding before he finished his vegetables. It was one of his strongest skills, right after psychological abuse and wasting time and money

The Death of Stalin is a comedy with lots of really funny moments but for my moment it’s an excellent horror flick.
