Same. It makes me curious the way Boyhood did after reading about it for years before it finally came out

I liked Logan. Weird flick, Charles Xavier goes demented and Wolverine has to raise a wolverine. The rest of it is pretty lovely

i would legit like my preliminary opinion changed about this movie, but i couldn't get past the whole "wealthy new york elite goes on vacation and won't shut up about how his whole life perspective is changed" talking to the guy from princess bride who is just sitting there like "i still gotta go to work" and not actually saying anything back lol

There is a galaxy of beauty in everyone, even rich white guys who spent a summer doing forest rituals with a bunch of hippies. The movie is a challenge to open your ears to the people around you. Also the castration comment is so funny in retrospect.

My Dinner with Andre is Good Actually and works because Andre Gregory radiates a kind of preternatural sincerity. You can justly criticise him as “oblivious comfortable New Yorker”, but his personal aura of eccentricity and innocence means I think it’a redux to get to think of that as the only perspective on the character.

Andre and Wally are both heightened versions of who they actually are which works well for the story being told. Wally Shawn has also done interviews explaining the creation of the movie and how both characters are in their own way overly myopic despite their best intentions, listening to them might help you better understand the film.

Jay Rust posted:in the intro voiceover he mentions a girlfriend and that's when i knew the movie was going to play around with reality He actually had a girlfriend (the same one he still has, basically his wife but not actually married) and she's the "Debbie" he's mentioning. She's a writer and professor at Columbia. I really like Wallace Shawn. He wrote a book of essays and while it's nothing earth-shattering he's a very empathetic and thoughtful man.

The list of Hollywood actors that are genuinely astute and well read is way smaller than you think, it's like, Wallace Shawn, Mark Ruffalo, Little Steven and a dozen other people.

i watched the plains (2022) a couple nights ago (still on mubi for next couple of days) and that's just a movie where we sit in the back of some guy's car as we hear him talk on the phone or to his passenger on his commute home from work and it sporadically veers into the philosophical and this goes on for three hours. i really liked it!

It's funny to me that people mostly just know Wallace Shawn as a silly little gnome-like character actor because all of the plays he's written are harrowing, scalding nightmares.

I've been watching Peter Gunn. Each episode is incredibly brisk, even for modern standards. I love it whenever these shows portray beatniks.

Judging from the modern live-action TV I’ve watched, “brisk” wouldn’t come within 100 feet of the conversation.

Saw Hundreds of Beavers tonight. Good god, it's incredible. Live action cartoon in the vein of Looney Tunes. But it's got the smartest and densest callbacks I've seen in a comedy since Hot Fuzz. What starts as a gag snowballs into something that becomes part of the world's physics. For one not-really-spoilerly example, guy does the catcall whistle when he finds a woodpecker's nest of eggs, woodpecker immediately runs over and starts pecking his head. Repeat twice. Throughout the rest of the film, he repeatedly summons the woodpecker to trigger traps, attack foes, etc. Almost everything works that way, with even background gags coming back later into a wild finale. Go see it if you can – and ideally in a theater. There are multiple gags that had mine applauding when the payoff landed. The amount of patience around the pacing is a sight to behold, as is the unrelenting delivery. Basically every scene is a bit. There's some easy sophomoric stuff, but almost all of them twist in a way you can't expect. Smiling so much just remembering parts of this. Best comedy of the year. Mad it technically came out in '22 and hasn't seen a wider release until today. edit: Oh dang, it is actually coming to streaming in a few days on AppleTV. Still, if there's any showings near ya, probably best scene with a crowd. CatstropheWaitress fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Apr 11, 2024 |

It's not Ariane Labed's September Says is it? (No problem if you can't confirm.) Either way, with Yorgos Lanthimos' Kinds of Kindness we've got a married couple both debuting films at Cannes, I wonder if that's ever happened before.

Both movies produced by Element Pictures too (of their 3 total in competition) although those 2 are in different strands so not directly competing with each other

Has any director had a decade that rivals Coppola's 1970s? 5 films that are 4 S tier and one A tier (I suppose 3 and 2 if you're an especially harsh critic). Otherworldly and I can't think of another decade of that caliber from anyone.

Kubrick's 60s are a contender with Spartacus, Lolita, Dr Strangelove, and 2001. For me that's A, B, S, S+. Coppola still wins overall though. E: and if we're just going by any given 10 year span we could drop Spartacus and Lolita and add A Clockwork Orange and Barry Lyndon. poo poo, this might be the one. S, S+, A/S, S. Plus writing and producing for all 4. E2: I can't math, 12 year gap between Strangelove and Barry Lyndon. regulargonzalez fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Apr 11, 2024 |
