Some are just films that weren't as impressive the second time around and others I really disliked. For me it was movies like Avatar, Titanic, Moulin Rouge and Vanilla Sky. For the movies I think I was so taken in by the experience of seeing them that I didn't really think too much about weak story and characters and nonsensical plotholes. It was all about the spectacle the first time around, but on repeat viewing the flaws became a lot more obvious. I'm actually thinking about watching Vanilla Sky again as when I first saw it I loved it and didn't mind it's weak extremely cliched ending (unlike the second time I saw it where I just hated the weak and extremely cliched ending). The first time I went to see Tree of Life in the theater I was utterly enthralled. Went back to see it a couple of weeks later and was bored to tears by the long-winded narration. I was in a bad mood and it might have been too soon, though. Haven't seen it since so I'm not sure which experience was the most legitimate. Edit: Had a similar experience with dunc. Wouldn't say I was crazy about the movie but really dug it. Did not really hold up during a home viewing.

I wish DUNC had just been the Sardaukar scene for 120 minutes. Koyanaastqatsi with 10,000 AD Super Soldiers.

I really enjoyed Birdman when I saw it in the theater but when I re-watched it for a Best Picture Winner marathon I did back in 2020, I found very little to enjoy with it. Just filled with grating characters and I found the fake one take thing really distracting and was pulling me out of things.

I’ve sometimes enjoyed films more the second time (eg Life Aquatic) but for the most part second watchings only confirm (and maybe strengthen) my initial impressions. So if I rewatch a film I really liked I might like it even more on second watch.

I was a fairly casual film fan during the first filming but I started watching a film a day while I exercised so it really changed how I looked at films overall. I think Birdman was a casualty of that.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:this was where i was at too but i've now heard from like three different people that it's very much about how Steven Spielberg wants to gently caress his mom and now i'm like "this i gotta see" A very good or even great movie. The Fabelmans is really three films at once: A. the bildungsroman of a legendary American filmmaker B. familial psychodrama centered around an oblivious cuckold father and the weird sexual tension between manic pixie dream mother and the teen protagonist, and C. coming-of-age teen comedy about a Jewish kid's awkward attempt to find his place in a waspy bay area suburb high school. A and C are not the same but they sometimes intersect. I feel like people put off by watching the Fabelmans really have the wrong idea of what the movie is about. Even if you don't end up loving it, there are 5-6 scenes that are objectively masterful. I think about the final shot at least once a week. This is an excellent movie by one of the all-time Kings of American cinema and he's only got a handful left so you should fuckin learn to appreciate them.

I’d also add that it’s directed with such easeful masterfulness that one doesn’t even realise quite how well it’s made. It doesn’t draw attention to itself but it’s so superbly done. This might of been posted here already, but it’s worth watching again. https://twitter.com/nonsenseisland/status/1550562796458352641?s=46&t=Us7tsDC4srCCbwP2xpKIrQ therattle fucked around with this message at 10:33 on Mar 17, 2023 |

Fabelmans rules and it's a shame that three movies featuring movies in some way came out around the same time which led to a lot of dumb comments from the peanut gallery even tho they were all quite different from each other. Heck, two of those three movies were great!

Is there an April movie marathon challenge that goes on in this forum, like the October horror marathon? Thinking of starting one, and a friend suggested I should watch nothing but spoofs (which means I'm almost certainly going to end up watching some utter dreck, but then I usually do that in the October challenge too)

Quote-Unquote posted:April spoof movies makes sense to me because, y'know... April Fools. I think a comedy thread could be a lot of fun. People could go through Buster Keaton or Mel Brooks' filmography, or do theme stuff like all black and white, all musical comedies, one movie each from 30 different countries, etc. I'd get in on that. I you stick to specifically spoof, that's a much smaller pool. People will probably be watching the same good ones as everyone else or doing the whole ______ Movie franchise out of masochism.

Would you include the horror movie April Fools Day in the April Fools spoof fest? It's not a spoof, but it is a twist on the slasher genre technically. April Spoof fest sounds like a fun idea either way.

I think if we wanna do an April Fools month it's gotta be a bit narrower than 'comedy'. Spoofs, slapstick, generally silly poo poo (maybe even the Jackass movies?) but yeah it can't be too narrow. Like rom coms shouldn't count, for example.
