Interstellar is on Paramount Plus. I liked it when I first saw it, but over the years it's become one of my favorite movies, to the point where it's a comfort movie where I can put it on when I'm sleepy and don't mind only paying partial attention to it. When I do make it to the end, I think it's the only movie that makes me cry every time. That end scene gets me.

Watched Skinamarink last night. I appreciated what it was trying to do, but unfortunately I just didn't find it scary at all. I think it probably would have been more effective as a short, at 100 minutes it just ended up being kinda tedious.

Disney itself will be fine (although Desantis is doing his best to make that not the case especially with newer legislation).. but honestly this is the first time I feel like they may not be interested in actually keeping their service going. Bet they end up just licensing out their shows again at some point in the next 5 years.

This is a company that famously keeps their films in a vault, and will only release their films on home video in limited quantities.

FLIPADELPHIA posted:Rewatching Patriot since someone mentioned it in the last page or 2. Such a unique, phenomenal show. It is fantastic. The only gripe I have about it is it's really hard to describe it to people who haven't seen it but that's not even a knock against it really.

Patriot was great but it was kind of running out of steam at the end. Which is disappointing because I would have watched that for many seasons. If you like Patriot I’d recommend checking out Lodge 49, which is on Hulu and not on AMC+ like I assumed it would be since it was an AMC show

I've read books 1-3 so now seems a fair time to start the series, as I've been at a loss for what to watch at night lately. So far, not bad. Miller still looks way off from how I pictured him (and how the books describe him iirc -- isn't he supposed to be balding and not in shape?)

Do Patriot, Lodge 49, and Perpetual Grace all end on cliffhangers of sorts? I'm pretty sure I heard the first two did. I watched the first season of both those, but never got into the second seasons.

I don't mean their whole catalog necessarily, but I'm pretty sure they had lots of content on Netflix before Disney+ started. So basically, keep their classics behind the stupid loving "Vault" and then let the modern stuff be licensed out.

I think it probably would have been more effective as a short, at 100 minutes it just ended up being kinda tedious. Anecdotally, every zoomer I know thinks it's a work of genius and there's all these 5 paragraph reviews from my friends all like "i was seven, I woke up in the middle of the night" or focused on "the nature of nostalgia" I liked it okay, but I wish it had more and had less...like it felt too much in spots and too little in others. You've got vast stretches where nothing happens, I was begging for some shadowy blur or an object moving, you know, "signs of spookiness", and then you have moments that are just too much and seem almost silly. I'd rather have had it more distributed...I saw it in theaters and a good chunk of the audience was basically lulled to sleep, following this rhythm that almost felt cheap where it's quiet and sleepy for what feels like eternity and then BOOM LOUD THINGS JUMP SCARE. Tbf when the film started, five minutes in, i thought to myself "oh my God I hope this is the whole movie!!"...but you know, be careful what you wish for. Still, a pretty confident debut. I liked the director just committing.

I really disliked Patriot because the concept felt so dumb. Going deep undercover at a real company because...they wanted to bring some money to Luxembourg. I thought maybe it was to give him a valid reason to go to Iran or something, but no, they do an exchange in loving Luxembourg. The CIA has a billion fake companies and even fake airlines set up expressly for the purpose of transporting poo poo covertly around the world, just use one of those!

im watching the crouching tiger sequel. its a lot goofier than the old one but I'm about halfway throuhg and I think it definitely captures the spirit of the original at least. but I doubt theres going to be a super moving ending to this one like the original

Are the action scenes as (or close to) fun/well-choreographed as the original? Or is it a big drop down?

I think so, there was just a cool ice fight scene they just did. theres a lot more fighting in this one I think in general theres more overt magic in this one, the first one was pretty subtle. the cinematography isn't going to be as beautiful either the set design is good. for a netflix original, its great haha yeah the ending was just "okay, we're done fighting. movie over" A MIRACLE fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Feb 10, 2023 |

Skinamarink was...fine. Good atmosphere, but definitely 20-30 minutes too long. I get the feeling that the writer/director got so many people saying "Your short film is so good, you should make it a feature", but he didn't actually expand it, he just made it MORE and it feels completely bloated. It also seems tailor made for the think piece/youtube video "SKINAMARINK EXPLAINED" crowd, but without anyone involved realizing that it is possible to make your story too open for interpretation to the point to the point where your film isn't even about anything anymore. Lore obsessives will eat it up for years to come.

it is for people who have somehow convinced themselves that liminal spaces are terrifying, which is the zoomer version of when Goons used to be terrified of the sea in the 2000s and wouldn't even play Endless Ocean

Skinamarink would work best if you fell asleep with the TV on and woke up in the middle of the night with it showing, saw about 10 minutes of it while half asleep and then in the morning could find no evidence of it ever existing. But that's not really something achievable for a film.

That part is a bit silly, but the dad explains this at one point as him doing something his boss officially said ‘no’ to, which he believed to mean an ‘off the books yes’ which means do it without any official help with operations.

Skinamarink is so polarizing I feel like I need to watch it today just to see what's up, but also the people who didn't like it's main complaint seems to be that it's loving boring so I keep false starting it and getting distracted lol.

Have it crash recorded into the middle of some other non-descript movie so it emerges in and out of a static haze. I feel like they've done this gag in some of the VHS movies tho.
