mind the walrus posted:Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is the closest to actual dreamfeel I've ever seen in a movie, although it's hamstrung by forcing characters to scream what's going on lest the audience feel confused for even a millisecond. I hate hate hate hated this movie. Might have been because I had a terrible girlfriend at the time and went and saw it with her terrible mother and they wouldn't shut the gently caress up about how brilliant it was.

It's not as brilliant as it thinks it is, that's for drat sure. That's pretty much every Kaufman script, though.

Yeah Midsommar did it best. In my experience psychedelics are subtle like that with the effects where the breathing objects and oscillating colors just kind of blend in with reality and you get this overwhelming feeling of things being "off" or "strange"

Oldstench posted:Synecdoche, New York is legit genius though. Prob my favorite movie of all time  dreezy posted:even more egregious was the end of synedoche new york where a preacher yells the theme of the movie directly at the audience This is kind of a funny take because of how hard it misses the actual themes of the movie. The title of the movie is literally synecdoche, new york and you missed the fact that the preacher's monologue is one of many literal synecdoches in the movie, which in that specific case is largely a metaphor for getting caught up in your own bullshit and thinking it isolates you from society because it's something no one else understands despite the fact that everyone understands it and could have helped give you perspective on it if you hadn't spent your entire life pushing them away because you thought they'd never understand. The point of the monologue was showing PSH's character what the audience already knew in the most direct and obvious way possible - because it's a reductive synecdoche, the thing that the movie is about. The whole point is that he's not some ultra-complex inexplicable genius like he thinks he is, he's just A Guy who has the same experience as everyone else, to the point where a random preacher was able to explain his entire life story (the thing he's putting together a gigantically-scaled play for and still failing to capture) in a single simple monologue. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Feb 1, 2024 |

Yeah, Syncedoche is surprisingly uncomplicated it just requires a long time to trace its thematic and narrative shapes properly, so by the end of the movie you're spent

Hate to say it but the most realistic dream sequences I’ve ever seen are AI generated. I can’t find it now but one showed up on Instagram recently that was way too much like a real dream. loving vague shifting images you can never really focus on. Not hyper realistic cinema experiences with distorted faces, but brief and bewildering and somehow completely unmemorable.

I'll see something in a theater, vibe with everyone, and then watch it with someone at home and be like, "Oh woah, this sucks!" I have to rewatch stuff solo before I can confidently recommend it.

I guess it doesn't make sense really, but I definitely like podcasts less when I know the people making them are earning like £70k per month just from the pod revenue alone, and then do sell out arena tours of the podcast to supplement their income. I think podcasts feel kind of intimate and personal, and the vast amounts of money being made from them kinda ruins that effect.

I know it was a couple pages back and its hardly a beloved film but goddamn do I hate Dunkirk. How the hell do you make Dunkirk, of all things, look so goddamn unimpressive. There were like...6 boats and 4 planes in the whole movie.

Some podcasts are ok. I listened to many episodes of one called The History of English that traced etymology of many words as far back as it could and also how the words changed through time I do think it’s weird how people just need a direct pipeline to slurping down another persons thoughts on a thing tho Slurp slurp
