As someone who feels more movies should have intermissions, I'm a-ok with someone taking a smoke break mid set. I too can piss off for a minute. Given his recent output if that's the worst bit of his new show, that'd be an improvement.

drat. My Christmas present from my mum arrived and it's the Mr Bungle Tractor Ate My Balls Again t shirt Mike Patton wore in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG_k5CSYKhg I used to wear it all the time as a teenager and then lent it to somebody because she had a crush on the bass player of a band and wanted him to think she was cool. Never gave it back. She got laid though so ce la vie When I got it it was like twenty bucks mass produced on Mike Patton's record label website but now it's an expensive mess to find a good one, I been told.

Watching "The Man Who Would Be King" for the first time and drat. Had no idea Connery and Caine did a buddy-colonist flick - or that they could look like they're having this much fun in a film. I'm not sure I've seen Connery express this much uncertainty in a role before. Used to him always be either an authority figure or someone with a certainty to their character. Seeing him play someone who's weak luck into godhood is fun. Weird film to watch nowadays as the story relies on the trope of "white guys easily take over ignorant nonwhite people", but is self aware enough to never present Connery and Caine as anything but bad guys. Skilled enough soldiers, but also lucky in multiple instances. Feel like it wasn't coming from a place of endorsement at the very least, but I don't know enough about Houston or 1975 to know how much consideration that stuff got. Really neat flick.

He looked so frail and old Yeah I concur the movie isn’t endorsing their actions at all, it’s a “we were greedy and lost” story. “Maybe colonizing isn’t so great” was already a thing in movies for decades by then

FreudianSlippers posted:Have you people ever considered that in Star Wars 6: Newer Hope (2015, d.p. Dan Mindel) the famous heartthrob Oscar Isaac plays Poe Dameron but in the action classic Con Air (1997, d.p. David Tattersall) Nicolas Cage née Coppola plays Cameron Poe. Dameron is a pilot and Cameron spends almost all of Con Air (1997, d.p. David Tattersall) an airplane. Furthermore Isaac also starred in Inside Llewyn Davis (2013, d.p. Bruno Delbonnel) but the villains of Star Warses 6 through 8 is Kyle Lauren played by Adam Driver who is also Inside Llewyn Davis (2013, d.p. Bruno Delbonnel) and sings a song with Issac where they, and boy wonder Justin Timberlake, plead to be the soon-to-be-dead President John Fitzgerald Kennedy to not send them into outer space which where Star Wars, by nature, generally take place. Additionally Inside Llewyn Davis (2013, d.p. Bruno Delbonnel) is based on the life of folk music legend Dave Van Ronk. Ronk was of allegedly Dutch heritage. The Dutch word for "father" is Vader. Darth Vader is a space samurai in a Star War who is famously a father and Adam Drive plays his grandson and colleague. lol but I also didn't know about the full extent of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coppola_family. wtf

The best performance given by a Coppola was Sofia's daughter getting on TikTok and casually talking about how she's grounded because she used her parents' black card to book a helicopter to take her and her friends to summer camp and yeah it's like $16,000 but it was Brooke's & Courtney's birthdays and this would be their gift and I didn't even ask for anything for my birthday and it's not like they need the money and don't you want me to be popular mom and dad?? It was either performance art or a glimpse into a world I won't get a better view of anytime soon.

Lobster Henry posted:Thank you, this is really interesting stuff. A lot it didn’t come into focus for me, unfortunately. Like, for example, the Tower Master seemed so thinly characterised that I couldn’t attach a lot of weight to the idea of “malice” that seemed so important in the end. But it sounds like I could stand to read some more about the film, mull it over, and then try a second watch. I think of all of Miyazaki's movies it's the one that benefits most from a second watch. I liked it the first time around then loved it on a rewatch.

Escobarbarian posted:You made up like the entire second half of that sentence Haha yeah. I did switch perspectives when I got to the part I was unsure of, although I had 16k in my head for some reason. And I guess even the camp thing wasn't exactly right. But I didn't think it mattered because: I was fairly sure it's performance art given that this, i.e. chartering a helicopter to take a girl to camp, takes place in a Sofia Coppola film (except it's Stephen Dorff doing it for his screen daughter). Unless it's something that Hollywood parents sometimes actually do for their kids and both baby Coppola and the movie scene were inspired by it. Jay Rust posted:iirc she recognized her nepo baby status I watched it again and she says her parents don't let her have social media because they don't want her to be a nepo kid. Close enough though. And I actually LOLed at being basically 'My parents don't want me to be spoilt' *is grounded, but gets babysitter's boyfriend to go fetch vodka and pasta sauce to make a dish for the TikTok account I'm not supposed to have* Bright Bart fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Jan 5, 2024 |

I watched The Cat (1992) last night, and while it takes a bit to get going and never feels quite as feverish as the other stuff I’ve seen from Lam like Riki-Oh or The Seventh Curse, it’s still pretty wild and fun. The junkyard fight between the cat and Lo Pau is bonkers, but I absolutely do not want to know how they filmed it. I’m pretty sure one shot was achieved by just throwing a real cat into a puddle.

OK when I posted that I assumed there was only like 15 or 20 minutes left, it would just be one big action set piece and that would be it. But then they started introducing this whole new plot element and I checked and there were 45 minutes left. So I am officially bailing on Yakuza Weapon

This is me but with Midsommar when I was like "Wow this move sure is taking its time, hoping it speeds up" then I look at the clock and its got another hour and a half left. I was like "Goddamn it". Apparently I was watching the directors cut.

Maestro is weird in that it’s a biopic, but I felt like it wanted me to know a lot more about Bernstein than I do. Events and names just pop up without much reference. I guess it stands out compared to Oppenheimer which actively tries to guide the viewer through this world of scientists. Maestro looked really good though, and glad that Cooper has anything but boring direction.

I guess it stands out compared to Oppenheimer which actively tries to guide the viewer through this world of scientists. Maestro was probably my biggest disappointment of last year. It looks and sounds like a million bucks, and Carey Mulligan is really putting in the work, but in terms of a biopic it's almost aggressively unhelpful. Some of Bernstein's biggest/most noteworthy achievements are literally just sidelined to a single line of dialogue in the middle of the movie in order to fit in a few dozen more 'you know, I think he's a lovely husband' scenes. I saw someone on Reddit say that it was like having a conversation with the most gorgeous person you've ever seen while you slowly realize they have nothing interesting to say, and I think that's a fair appraisal.

Even for a prestige Biopic it just looks intensely boring. I cannot muster any enthusiasm for it whatsoever.
