Anonymous Robot posted:It was partially a matter of the politics of style of the film, a kind of cuteness that came across as self-satisfied condescension, and partially that, as someone who struggles with mental illness and psychiatric medication, I bristle real easily at the romanticization of psychoactive drugs in cinema.

wyoming posted:We're living in a libertarian hell.https://twitter.com/fox5dc/status/817149874445713408 Actually that 10-mile section of interstate used to be part of my commute, now I have to use the subway where today my train was stuck in a tunnel as the authorities had to fix an electrical problem at the next stop. Wasn't that bad of a wait because it was completely silent in the car other than some off-key guy listening & then singing his jams (mainly about beating up that pussy and random sfx) to a bunch of people that just got off work.

Hostile V posted:I'm glad La La Land is getting a good reception. It turns out my cousin's friend who collaborated on him in videos and stuff in college ended up having a role in the production of the film, so much so my cousin got invited to go to the red carpet premiere and watch the movie. Dude works for Lionsgate but I'm not sure what role he plays in filming.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:Anna Biller has been just shredding La La Land on twitter, often just by posting screencaps of it next to screencaps of Jacques Demy musicals. Interesting set of value differences as well, chazelle revels in that rich musical aesthetic for its own pleasure (which i don't think is a bad thing in and of itself), while biller also frontloads her influences but instead uses that aesthetic to critique the overarching patriarchial structure yet still have them retain their surface appeal.

WENTZ WAGON NUI posted:One of the great things about the playoffs is really how the play is so constrained because basically every good player is going to be fighting through injuries or not playing at all. Like at a certain point it just becomes about which team can endure crippling injuries the most to make it to the final and then the Superbowl is always a mediocre game between two banged-up teams. This is why actual football fans rarely give a care about the superbowl (also if you're a football enthusiast you probably like one of the teams that never makes it)

CPL593H posted:When The Dark Knight came out I remember the internet all came together to declare Heath Ledger as the ultimate portrayal of that character and that Jack Nicholson and that whole movie were total crap. I think it's died down since, but I still can't believe people ever thought that. Heath Ledger was interesting in the role for sure, but come the gently caress on. Jack Nicholson completely outclasses him in every way and the Tim Burton movies are just so much more fun than the Christopher Nolan series.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Well, the big must see is Mildred Pierce, probably the snappiest, bitchiest noir ever made. But a short list: Possessed, Female On The Beach, Strait-Jacket (the best of her so-called "hagsploitation" movies), Curtiz' Flamingo Road, Above Suspicion and The Women. I am not at all familiar with her pre 30's career, I don't think I've ever seen any of her silents.

I remember only checking out Sudden Fear because it was one of FFD's all-time favorite noirs and while it didn't quite reach those heights, it's still very cool.

K. Waste posted:Caught Park Chan-wook's The Handmaiden last night. I liked it well enough, but part of me wishes that it really was just a straight story about a handmaiden who gets seduced and then locked up in an insane asylum. Don't get me wrong, Park's usual twists-and-turns are entertaining in their own right, and how the story plays out works in the fantastic, "Sade-esque" context of the story, but, ya know, dif' strokes.
