rewatched BR 2049, how did Wallace know about the pregnancy? Did I miss something or are we to (reasonably) presume that the LAPD leaks everything?

I watched Throw Down. It's fantastic! Just a wonderful movie. There's a lot of fights, and usually when there's a fight in a movie it's because like a cop and a criminal are fighting, or maybe it's a martial arts tournament or something. But in Throw Down most of the fights are just because it's fun to fight people. Joyous, life-afirming fights for the fun of fighting.

Very funny, and genuinely scary in a low-key way. Really pushed the cringe comedy until it wrapped all the way around to horror, which is kinda cool in and of itself, but then the way it piled on the ambiguity and just continually destablised my understanding of the situation was very very good.

And perhaps it's because I've wandered into a similar situation before, but I thought the film was very good at putting me in the same headspace as the lead.

Perfect ending scene holy poo poo.

Thanks for the recommendation Shaggy. Good film.

Glad to help.

The moral of Throw Down is that you have a limited amount of time on this earth and you should use it to connect with other people through Judo.

I'd assume a movie about Judo is also about knowing when to let people go.

It's the same cycle as every live action Disney remake. The first images come out, everybody says it looks like poo poo, the movie comes out and everybody universally says it's significantly worse than the original, it makes a billion dollars, and then everyone forgets it exists.

Usually there’s a random French adaptation that comes out a year or two before the soulless Disney remake. But Disney’s reach has become so wide that their competition comes from themselves with Avatar 2.

There's a quote from Bergman that summarizes my feelings on Godard's work well

Ingmar Bergman posted:


“I've never gotten anything out of his movies. They have felt constructed, faux intellectual and completely dead. Cinematographically uninteresting and infinitely boring.

Breathless is great and a needed move to shake up the status quo, but it feels like he never grew out of the constant need to rebel, to his own detriment as an artist.
He was also just not nearly as intelligent as he thought he was, the most memorable part of La Chinoise is Godard feeding his thoughts on revolution to Anne Wiazemsky who was in dialogue with a professor of philosophy. His total inability to grasp, understand, reckon, or devise anything coherent in his morality, philosophy, or political beliefs stands in sharp relief when put against someone whose more cognizant of his beliefs and is able to voice them in a clear fashion. It makes Anne sound like a complete idiot.

His movies are also boring as hell, I fell asleep during Made in USA. That movie is barely an hour and forty and I couldn't make it.

RIP to him

My main takeaway from the Godard movies I've seen, even Breathless, was a very strong sense that the guy who made it was an rear end in a top hat. I know nothing about Godard personally, one of them when I watched it I didn't even know it was Godard and found out afterward, but I just get that vibe,

Wish I was there...
i've only sampled a smattering of godard's new wave works and never quite fell in love with any of them (a married woman and week end come closest) and then jumped to his last two features which i generally liked, never seen anything inbetween (guess histoire(s) du cinéma is the big one)

i think he was the last one from that cahiers generation, so his passing definitely signifies an end of era that probably was really gone long ago

Godard was hit or miss but at least he was always doing his own thing. Even if that thing was sometimes utterly baffling.
