Boywhiz88 posted:Also, Southland Tales. Super unimpressed and makes sense why it killed Kelly’s career. That being said, does reading the graphic novels help the movie? Or is it just a wild-rear end stew? It’s so loving 2005 in some ways that it hurts. A The Killers music piece? What the gently caress!? Incoming gripweed post in 5..4..3.. You right though, that movie was rough. Oh, read an indie comic book that serves as part 1 that I had no idea came out even back then to really "get it"? uhhh, no thanks I don't even think I've seen his version of Donnie Darko, isn't the director's cut the worse version?

Donnie Darko director's cut loving sucks. The best part of Donnie Darko was that old tie-in website with sound clips of people investigating Donnie's death in the main timeline.

It can join all the ridley revised bladerunner cuts in discs that should not be within my collection. e: heres me clarifying my bladerunner position i think the ambiguity of harrison ford not knowing in the same way the audience can argue in both directions is what makes that movie next level...so those interviews way way after the fact where ridley comes out and says "HES A ROBOT" is fuckin' lame to me. like yeah, he more then likely is a replicant and thats the tragedy..but again, there's enough there that you could go the other way, so eat poo poo ridley scott. #madatmovies zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Jun 18, 2023 |

I’m really glad I didn’t blind buy Southland Tales. Kelly is way up his own rear end and his no longer existing career isn’t a surprise.

I started watching Southland Tales earlier this week. Got about 35 minutes in and bailed, I just couldn’t take the constant narration and half-baked attempts at satire. It’s just bad. There’s so many movies from that same era doing similar-but-better satires that I don’t get why this one in particular has gained such a cult following.

Richard Kelly wrote a script for an adaptation of Holes 4 years before Disney released their version. It’s far more insane than you’d believe. I thought it had to be an elaborate joke but haven’t been able to find anything refuting it. https://youtu.be/Uf5xSg6IhKA

yeah, I didn't get that read since it's from the perspective of a 20-something tourist, so it tracked for me. if anything it romanticized Tokyo in a way that made me want to visit even more and/or drink suntory but i'm always interested in different takes, so i feel you e: more reasons i like this film: lance accord photographs it beautifully (like i get the tumblr bait of the opening shot, and i'm not even touching that..but the rest of it is top notch) i appreciate the focus of the film not going into the creepy romance territory i really like the choice of the last scene sophia made, even if it's polarizing in the making of side of things, the photography is based on a ton of photos sophia took while in japan (then translated into cinematography by accord), and it reflects that tourist sensibility of an actual appreciation of an unknown place instead of appropriation..maybe legit Japanese folk feel different here though zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 20:51 on Jun 18, 2023 |

I took those scenes as a mockery of the commercial world from the pov of bill murrays bitter washed up character, not racist caricature and i complained loudly about the charlie chan aliens in phantom menace in the theater in 99 to silence..i'd like to think i call that poo poo out quick, but i never really took away lost in translation is racist..so..idk maybe i'm naive

I think her and roman are solid directors, though I never checked to see if roman did anything after CQ..and I still haven't seen a good chunk of sophias newer stuff from bling ring onward...but I stand by virgin suicides is a killer first film e: roman did a glimpse inside the mind of charles swan with charlie sheen, which has been on my watchlist forever yet I had no idea he directed it..then it looks like he's been collabing with wes anderson from there since zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Jun 18, 2023 |

Also Sofia Coppola is only in Godfather III because Winona Ryder got sick and we have to start filming and Paramount will brook no delays.

Donnie Yen kicked things up to a different level that the movie definitely wouldn't have achieved without him. Go after Iko Uwais or Tony Jaa for the next one. Also Scott Adkins should be in every sequel from here on out as a different character each time. These are guys that bring their own established style which is important for keeping the usual John Wick action fresh.

I've been watching the movies I got from the Criterion sale, and watched Scanners for the first time in 10-15 years. What a cool film. They should make more movies where the main character's eyes explode and they catch on fire. I liked the little special effect documentary that's in the release too, such cool ideas and minds at work.

Honestly give me a Caine and Akira solo pictures and a Nobody movie at some point (maybe he can team up with Bob Odenkirk too so we don’t lose that name either).

I guess it depends on where you sit with these movies..the kind of more "grounded" first one in contrast to this last one where he's falling from heights and shaking it off in a full on gently caress-it-you-didn't-come-here-for-realism-mode to me..is way more entertaining. So when they just go full out why not with things like the long-rear end top-down camera segment, or having dude do 360s in a car circling thugs while firing an insane number of rounds I actually lean into that more than whatever the original concept of this was 3 movies ago. But also maybe go out on top of the stairs metaphorically..unless you have a better reason for clancy brown in the next one..then I'm open to it

One of the coolest things to me when watching the movie for the first time last year was how it took place in locations that don't really exist anymore. Something about the bright chrome in all the mall scenes and the part where he hacks a computer and it shows all the circuit boards and capacitors...it somehow makes it feel all the more ethereal and intense. It's a really beautiful film with a lot to say and some brilliant effects.
