I do kind of miss the Spotify suggested algorithm. WFMU and Aquarium Drunkard and Soma FM work pretty well for me.

This is a legitimately good scene in a non-irony poisoned way and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.

Xaris posted:i have a soft spot for AB even though it's definitely up it's own rear end but I also think its get a little too overly panned by the... "movie smart" internet critic these days. that plastic bag poo poo was dumb and the Ricky is very idealized... but I did think it kind of taps into that energy you have when you're young, not weighed down with responsibilities and consciousness and the chemicals in your brain haven't balanced themselves yet. That kind of feeling can make a plastic bag floating around you feel beautiful, and it shows me what Lester is seeking. He really goes about that the wrong way though. When his life ends he's even more isolated from Jane, who he actually does seem care about. Maybe Jane will remember him well and understand what he was dealing with one day but he came off a self-indulgent creep for the last year of his life when he committed to his "least ammount of responsibility possible, jack off whenever I want" lifestyle. Probably should have just got a divorce and focused on trying to make his life as it currently was more authentic instead of trying to regress into his early 20s. It's a good complicated movie, part of me wants to find the writer and grab him and ask him to definitively tell me what he thought of these characters while writing them because they are pretty hosed up and it's hard to figure out if he thinks Ricky is a pretentious kid or the Sidartha of the suburbs. I guess that's a sign of good complicated story though so mission accomplished I give it a very solid 8/10.

I rewatched black narcissus last night. i'm a huge fan of movies about a group of women having collective trauma meltdowns/going insane, and black narcissus is probably top five in that category. really beautiful visually as well despite the movie still being entangled in imperial attitudes, i liked some of the subtle commentary. like why are they teaching illiterate children in the himalayas about warships instead of more useful things? and they're not even the ones doing it, it's a kid they found who knows english teaching them

Gunna echo other posters on American Beauty--I reckon the characters were meant to be presented plainly with their flaws. They're humanized realistically enough to be sympathetic, with clear cause and effect for why they make weird or horrible choices. The writer for American Beauty, Alan Ball, also created HBO's Six Feet Under. That also explored deeply flawed characters, but it created a believable environment that made it to relate to the cast even when they were being idiots. You could root for Nate Fisher despite him always being a non-committal screwup with flimsy ideals.

Shageletic posted:It does feel we're at a nadir of something that one celebrity takes up so much cultural landscape. We used to have a dozen Taylor Swifts fighting for cross generational relevancy at a time. She's not even close to Michael Jackson, the guy who couldn't go to NBA games because he was too famous.

I feel like the cult of celebrity is one of those things that the 00s took to the breaking point and without even noticing suddenly it's something no one can bring themselves to care about anymore unless there's personal investment and appeal. Either that or Donald Trump is the one occupying all that space now.

The plastic bag scene happened to the writer in real life, and he thought it was important to include it. Middle-aged guy hates his life and decides loving a young girl will solve all his problems has been done to death and the director personally filmed the underage nude scene with a camcorder.
