I remember seeing Jackie Chan in an interview about the big stunt at the end of Police Story and he admitted being all "deep breaths this is either gonna rule or I die trying" It ruled thank you Mr. Chan. Think he broke his spine The Peccadillo fucked around with this message at 05:01 on Feb 3, 2024 |

Someone identify a movie for me There's a scene where the adult boyfriend is waiting for his girlfriend to get ready, and he's standing awkwardly in the living room with her father who is dourly watching TV. He tries to make conversation, says "Hi Mr. So-and-so" and the father just sits there apparently ignoring him. "What are you watching?" And he just silently points at the TV  I thought it was Grosse Pointe Blank (it has that similar scene setup) but it isn't that. I want to say maybe Peggy Sue Got Married or something?

I'm fairly certain Jackie Chan was a not insignificant influence on Jackass.

And I'm pretty sure Keaton was an influence on Chan. https://twitter.com/Rainmaker1973/status/1753810583265354061?t=DGYaGaHK4PdG06-aAYzPJg&s=19

Coda to the Movie of the Year thread: when I was thinking about my list, I pencilled Return to Seoul in very high. But when it came to articulating why, I couldn't clearly express it, and I ended up ranking it below films I could more easily justify. So I gave it a rewatch to see if I could figure it out again. Second viewing confirmed my instinct on it - I still really like it, could have placed it higher. I think the most compelling element for me was the constant jeopardy I felt, the lead character radiated some kind of dangerous energy that could erupt at any moment. It kept me reeled in for the most part. By the end of the film, she had gone on a arc that left her more centred and calmer. I shouldn't begrudge the growth, she earned it. And there were important emotional beats still to come, and I could see lots of places where the film was making nice callbacks to the initial scenes. But without that energy that kept me riveted in the earlier parts of the film, I just wasn't quite as invested.

I started watching it and I really didn’t like it. Of course all films are contrived but it felt contrived. I never suspended disbelief and for into the story. I know lots of people really likes it though.

That's completely impossible, we are a thousand years before our language, oh poo poo he's actually the son of God. And the other character is just like nah, it's a coincidence!

I watched Luz. At first I was like, gently caress I got tricked again, this is just a boring weird European movie! But then after a bit more I was like, oh poo poo this is really good. I really liked that it's very explicitly supernatural but in a very basic sort of down to earth way. The supernatural element is only represented via a glowing light. It kinda reminded me of Koji Shiraishi's stuff, where once you've established that there is something else you just need a marker to show when it's doing something, and the marker can be really very small or simple. The movie looks very arty and abstract but actually everything has clear literal reason and narrative purpose. The bulk of the film is this weird chick who showed up at a police station and was weirdly incommunicative gets put under hypnosis to discover what happened. So she relives the previous evening just like acting it out in a conference room, but elements of it are actually shown to you the viewer. And then elements from the room start to intrude on the memory. It feels like if it was done even slightly worse it would be dumb and hacky, but Luz does it really very well It's only 71 minutes, check out Luz.

Surprised the Future coproduced Super Fly remake with Michael K. Williams and Big Boi wasn't a January movie cuz that was January as gently caress. Lotta movies like that where I'd have never seen em if it weren't for moviepass. Definitely gonna watch Poor Things and Iron Claw, in theaters this month. Saltburn...sometime on Prime, I guess. The nepobaby stink from that seems as bad as Promising Young Woman. gently caress this all just served to remind me that Michael K. Williams died.  MKW and PSH went in the same way in the same city.

Blackhat is getting the reappraisal it deserves. In a decade it will be as highly regarded as any other Mann masterwork

It's not so much that it was ignored, it was pretty well received, it's that it was a good film to have out in January- just a fun little technohorror movie with a bit of humor and weirdness to it. A splash of color in a gray month.

What’s with January and February movies being a thing? It seems like there should be little competition if you got a big film. Or do people not go and watch films in those months? It’s cold outside now so movies seem like a great option to me.
