there's probably an alternate universe where LMM made a musical version of the October revolution and earned the undying love of leftists everywhere like how in kaiserreich all the big historical figures wind up with the opposite ideology of whatever they had in real life

are there any rosemary's baby truthers out there? rosemary's baby is SO good and it seems to me that it's such an incredible depiction of an abusive relationship that it's unbelievable that roman polanski made it. how could someone like that make a movie like this? it's been lavishly praised elsewhere but the dr. hill sequence in the second half of the movie is incredible. obviously very relevant today with public distrust of doctors being in the news and all

i suppose that's probably the (depressing) correct answer. after posting that last night, i actually found an interview where polanski said "For credibility's sake, I decided that there would have to be a loophole: the possibility that Rosemary's supernatural experiences were figments of her imagination. The entire story, as seen through her eyes, could have been a chain of only superficially sinister coincidences, a product of her feverish fancies ... That is why a thread of deliberate ambiguity runs throughout the film." i actually do not find that in rosemary's baby at all. her husband and her doctors are behaving like fuckin loons and her creepy-rear end neighbors are not normal; perhaps it's just because everyone knows the ending but there is no real doubt that something bad is happening to rosemary. it's interesting (and frightening) to think that polanski could've thought that the people around rosemary could be interpreted as totally reasonable one of the most affecting scenes to me is the part where rosemary finally gets alone with her friends and they instantly tell her that she looks like poo poo and that having your doctor dismiss all of your pain and concerns is not good. rosemary is drowning for the rest of the film and that scene is her coming getting her head above water for a second

I’m imagining every non writer, director, producer and actor on set gritting their teeth while it was being filmed.

the first movie roman polanski made after fleeing the country is an adaptation of Tess of the d'Urbervilles, a 19th century novel about a teenage girl who's life is ruined when she is raped by a nobleman, and ends with her killing him. wild world

Lovecraft complained that vampires, werewolves, and mummies weren't scary anymore so he definitely cared about making cool monsters. He'd be more disappointed that his monsters have been just as demystified. Also, the point of all of Lovecraft's writing is him trying to reconcile his extreme white yankee chauvinism with the reality that the entirety of "white civilization" is insignificant compared to the grand scale of the universe.

oh man if you haven't seen it drop whatever you're doing and go watch Stalingrad (2013) especially if you've seen Enemy At The Gates, because this puts that Hollywood poo poo to absolute shame, holy gently caress, this is like Lord of the Rings level production value and it absolutely kicks rear end every step of the way

I mean, he’s consistently entertaining in the film, but I need to go back and watch it with a more critical eye (haven’t seen it since release in theaters). Do you think he could have worked in the film if he had brought a different energy? Or, if he’s just no good for it, who would you have liked to see play the dad? Pre direct to video John Cusack might have been good for it.

Or, if he’s just no good for it, who would you have liked to see play the dad? i think he's pretty good overall and there's some bit where he's great, like early in the movie before he really goes off the deep end. he just has a few Nick Cage Moments (TM) (like the scene where he's freaking out in the car) where it feels like it would really elevate a terrible movie but since the rest of Color is actually good it just comes across as a little hammy. that said i've also only seen it once and it didn't, like, derail the movie so i'm not gonna gripe too hard, just gotta get my takes out StashAugustine has issued a correction as of 07:06 on Aug 7, 2020 |

so it's been a little over a year: what's the consensus on Us (2019, jordan peele) instant classic? sophomore slump? good usage of "i got 5 on it"? personally, i loved it. the imagery of the underground clone labs was incredibly evocative and obviously lupita nyong'o was fantastic interesting to compare the class conflict angle of the tethered vs. the surface people with the other big class conflict movie of 2019: parasite
