Ruffalo and Dafoe def cracked me up in parts but I didn't really like the narrative and its (sometimes creepy, sometimes bland) choices.

Hot take Lisa Frankenstein might almost kinda be better than Poor Things. It's almost as funny, it does also go some batshit places, it doesn't look as good, but I will say no adults having sex scenes with a person who has a child's brain.

Reminder that The Lobster is still the best Lanthimos movie and should be watched immediately if you haven’t seen it yet.

I can understand the appeal and it’s a well-made movie, but I personally couldn’t stand The Lobster. I found it to be mean-spirited enough that it became unenjoyable to watch.

I couldn't stand the Lobster either. it's the only one of his movies I haven't liked. I just found it boring.

The Lobster is also my favorite. I guess you could say it’s mean-spirited but I like that stuff and thought it was really funny. Like when that woman jumps out the window and you just hear her moaning and dying in the background while Colin Farrell tries to flirt with someone. The “being single is illegal and everyone must be in a relationship even if it’s meaningless or built entirely on lies” premise just appeals to my goony nature, I guess. wizardofloneliness fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Mar 12, 2024 |

I should give it a rewatch. I might have just been in the wrong headspace when I watched it.

The Favorite is great too. Killing of a Sacred Deer is the one I have only the vaguest memory of. I can remember some of the imagery from the end of the movie but without context. I guess it is due for a rewatch.

Same here. The movie made me feel upset, and while it being a huge downer was probably the point, it's not something I was into.

That bit made me laugh so loving hard, and then I realized I was the only person in the theatre laughing and I immediately felt like a psychopath.

The Lobster is worth it all really for the opening scene to only be really funny after you've watched the movie the first time.

Also the fact that it's not actually confirmed that they actually become animals meaning that she probably just shot a random cow for no reason is extra funny.

I didnt think the lobster was funny enough to justify how annoying it was On the flipside I thought the favorite was pretty good Poor things kinda flips between these two extremes depending on the scene

I remember dogtooth popping up on streaming shortly after it came out having no idea wtf it was and thinking it was really weird and rad. The thing about his movies is I know I have to be in the right mood for them. I was surprised at dogtooth and knew what I was getting into with Sacred Deer, but I think I just watched the Lobster cause it was getting all this buzz and I just was in the wrong zone for a movie like that.

I usually like Margret Qualey but she's just kind of annoying in Drive Away Dolls. Simplex posted:Is Leave the World Behind supposed to be part 1 in a series? Cause that poo poo comes off like a bad TV series like The Event or something Who wants to watch any more of that?

Drive Away Dolls seemed well meaning but clearly made by a white man who is almost loving 70 and needs to work with his drat brother again. I guess they are, with a horror project next, thank God cuz I didn't like Ikea Macbeth either. Not to say either of their solo films was like, atrocious. Trying to figure out if either movie is worse than their Ladykillers remake that just feels like a generic obnoxious 2000s comedy, but at least that led me to the loving classic Alec Guinness original (and also I guess it's sorta fun to see Tom Hanks doing his cartoonish Poe-quoting Colonel Sanders or whatever gently caress he's up to in there, and the painting is fun). Still never seen Intolerable Cruelty tho... 🤔 Punkin Spunkin fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Mar 16, 2024 |
