oscarthewilde posted:I also found the underlying message of Nope to be also really confused and contradictory (much like us). every step of the way, we're told that animals should be treated with respect, shouldn't be treated as vehicles for fame and attention and are much more - and more dangerous - than simple tools. but at the end them killing and taking a picture of the monster is portrayed as this heroic event, complete with orchestral music and a character feared dead turning out to be alive. And, yes, I know it's also a (not exactly original) parable about fame and Hollywood, but it's also clearly interested in the phenomenon of dangerous animals in media, and I found that specific message particularly confused. he fell into what i'm gonna call the Director's Trap —— making a movie about making movies no thanks!!

oscarthewilde posted:peele has some interesting ideas but actually sticking the landing isn't his best skill. don't really get why everyone sees him as this visionary director when everything he's done besides get out! and key and peele is very confused and overly ambitious. I think there's a connection between the "visionary director" sentiment and Peele making a his debut film: 1. a horror movie, 2. a not particularly gory horror movie, 3. a movie "about racism". Like, I think mainstream audiences were hurting for a Horror movie that wasn't too overtly gross and gory in its content, because (as someone who was a teenager in the 2000s) those were the only horror movies that made it to theaters for like a decade and if you weren't someone who was actively seeking out and watching as many films as possible, that might be the only impression of the entire genre you got! Get Out! coincided with that A24 Horror-renaissance that reminded people that not only can Horror movies be good movies, but that it's entertaining to watch a movie that scares you instead of just grossing you out. No offense intended to any Hostel-likers out there. and then it having an "important subject matter" that's pretty easy for the audience to read was just the icing on the cake.

Here's a list of the best movies of the year that everyone can agree on Everyone can feel comforted that they recognize these movies without risking alienation and stoking insecurities I only saw 3 of these, one which I would say was actually good, and have no plans to see the others

I have not seen a single one of those movies and can't really say I have any desire to but I would like Sean Hannity to tell me why Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was not in the top ten despite ticket sales pretty obviously being his metric because I think there's some good comedy fodder there

Maverick was good, probably about as good a blockbuster as we'll get until the next Mission Impossible flick also it's 100% gonna be nominated for best picture and a bunch of losers are gonna be shocked and whine when it loses. tom cruise might even get a best actor nod too

I appreciate Sonic making a comeback because it's a fandom for which I already have tons of built in knowledge. My kids ask me Sonic questions and not only do I have answers, I have answers that satisfy multiple realities and timelines and they eventually demand that I stop. You cannot unsubscribe from Sonic Facts, son.

I wouldn't say "equitable" so much as generically liberal but Ridley Scott does this in several of his historical movies like Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven, and I'm very curious how he's gonna portray Napoleon, who's this very ambiguous figure to modern libs.

Fox Nation is run by Klanman? Very on the nose. also "real estate and entrepreneurialism" are the number one enemy on the show Yellowstone. Hippies are a much smaller foe. It's interesting to see Fox Nation dive into nature programming. Taylor Sheridan's whole project with Yellowstone seems to be making early 20th century US conservationism popular again.

I enjoyed Us well enough at the time but have had zero desire to rewatch it. Get Out kinda feels like the only one of his movies that really holds up to any kind of scrutiny. anyway if your best of 2022 list doesn't include Mad God i have no respect for your opinion.

I felt Duellists and Last Duel both managed to be pretty decent in being about their period while still being relevant to modern issues. Duellists in particular is really good in how it portrays the Napoleonic period even if it was like 50 years ago

From a test screening about a month ago. quote:“It’s 150 minutes. Covers the sweep of Napoleon's life from his promotion around the time of the revolution, to the end. I think it’s bigger, better and MORE PSYCHOLOGICAL than Scott’s epics like Kingdom of Heaven and Gladiator. Also more political. I think the picture is a masterpiece, or very nearly one. It's the culmination of Ridley's life's work as a filmmaker. His staging of battle scenes on a near-cosmic scale is mind-blowing. Joaquin gives a Brando-like performance, taking some very big risks, and at times verging on the absurd, but always taking the audience with him. As a movie about a nationalist in a time of chaos and disintegration who thinks in terms of pure power, it has a lot of parallels to 2022. It's a great movie and I'll be surprised if there is anything better released in 2023.”
