Scorsese's worst for me is easily The Aviator and I don't think it's even close, but Gangs is definitely bottom-tier.

Hat Thoughts posted:My brother kept us safe The best part of that was it forced the issue and we got to see the candidates either talk about how the last president from their own party sucked or not going that far but still carefully avoiding saying anything too positive this all despite not really having any ideas different than what happened during the Bush year

I don't hate any Scorsese movie, The Color of Money is just kinda bland. Like you said, it's not as good as The Hustler and it ends up coming off a little forgettable. Dope performances though.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:GWB turning into Jimmy Carter is honestly sickening to me. Is GW actually doing anything useful that helps people or is he just hiding in his ranch like a sad ghost? ChickenMedium posted:Call it The Trump Effect. Every past president is going to look better by contrast. "Sure W started a war to enrich his cronies that killed millions of innocent Iraqis, but at least he didn't try to systematically destroy every American governmental institution solely in service to his own ego." The fact that there's an incoming administration that makes the Bush ghouls look good by comparison is downright terrifying.

Is anyone else peeved by people roasting Trump about his tiny hands? Besides the body-shaming angle, it's also incredibly petty and ignores the myriad legitimate complaints about him as a person/politician. I say this as a dainty-handed man, and am posting it here rather than on social media because I don't want my friends and family to know how insecure I am about my hand size. I assure you there's no problem down there though.

People keep hitting the obvious ones, the spray tan, tiny hands, bad hair, and it just gets old. Spy hit it best with "short-fingered vulgarian" and nobody has really even come close to a line that elegant.

Like any Bond villain, his physical disfigurement is far overshadowed by his nefarious schemes.

weekly font posted:Is Gangs of New York the worst Scorsese? I feel like I just watched his worst movie by a good amount. There's no way it's worse than The Color of Money. Definitely better than Shutter Island. I'd rank it above Cape Fear too. And I haven't seen Boxcar Bertha, but I've also never seen anyone defend Boxcar Bertha. The Aviator is probably "better," but I find Gangs of New York much more rewatchable.

The bit parts, set design and soundtrack of Gangs are far from bottom tier anybody. If I'd compare it to anything, it would be Coppola's Dracula.

Gangs of New York is second only to Last Temptation in terms of production design (and use of Peter Gabriel). And I honestly don't get why people hate on Leo and Cameron so much.

Because they're quite bad. I love Leo but there's no way you're gonna say he was better in Wolf Of Wall Street than Jonah Hill.

The action scenes are very cool, especially the climactic one, it's overall a gorgeous movie, covers a cool period in history, and in addition to DDL giving maybe career best work (I like him more in Gangs than There Will Be Blood, honestly), you get awesome bit performances by Brendan Gleason and Jim Broadbent.

I really want to like the Demy musicals, but man, with the exception of a couple moments I find them really tedious. You have to either really love stories about girls in love, or aimless French jazz/pop. They look phenomenal, though.

It's really colorful and boy howdy French women in the 60s are like the most stylish people in existence, but i feel slightly cold to it, which is odd because I watched La La Land again tonight (this time with my family), and loved it just as much.

I liked it. Music is going to be in my head for a few days. The combination of essentially ordinary life told through music worked for me. It's the sort of musical I like because it's not stylized to the point of not being believable. That's why I've generally disliked the MGM musicals, but like ones that sort of "clash" with themselves like Fiddler on the Roof or Cabaret.

It's also got some very, very strange early 00s directing choices with slo-mo dutch angles and things that look straight out of a music video. Whether or not it's one of his worst overall films, it's easily bottom tier direction relative to his entire body of work.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:Really, really good. Pairs well with After Hours and is probably even better. I was just telling one of the impressionable new guys at work how After Hours is my legit favorite Scorsese movie. There's something about a film that take place all in just one night that just gets to me. That Coppola Dracula/Gangs of New York comparison is pretty apt too, seeing as how they're both great movies in all but one aspect (Keanu/Leo).

La La Land's music is a little more tin pan alley (jewish/black).

Howard Hughes' film Hell's Angels is really good. Lots of crazy early talkie stuff like tinting, stencil color, Technicolor, and deliberately silent parts (an attack on a German airship uses intertitles to translate German).

Question 1: Is there an award for best animal in a movie? Question 2: if so, did the cat from Gone Girl win? Question 3: if no to either Q1 or Q2, why?
