Hey, maybe I'll start posting after mostly lurking for like, the last two chat threads. I do have a lot of free time after a mental breakdown failed me out of film school and made me move from Chicago back to poo poo hole suburban Virginia!

I'm of the opinion that all the V/H/Ses are good, and the first is bona-fide great. Last movie: Arrival First movie: The Wailing

Tetsuo: The Iron Man sure is a movie, huh. I wasn't expecting it to be a Japanese The Wizard of Speed and Time, or for half of it to be a superhero battle. I like it.

I loving loved both Bill and Ted movies as a kid, still do. I also loved the sci-fi comedy/Dave Duchovny vehicle Evolution, which probably doesn't hold up as well.

Huh, I'll rewatch Evolution then. I don't here it mentioned much so just kinda assumed I had bad taste as a kid. Actually, thinking back I had some awesome comedies on rotation as a kid. Mystery Men and Galaxy Quest were also frequent watches. I watched basically no dope action or horror as a kid though.

I got kicked out of my house today, and then invited back, but nobody wants to talk about it at all. I loving hate it here and actually do want to go, so I might just bail and live with the consequences.

Hollismason posted:It's really good watch it. You can obviously tell that him and Jeremy Saulnier are very good collaborators. At times it feels like a Saulnier film. It's really beautifully shot , well acted, and grounded film. It's also really funny. Yeah, I'm for sure gonna watch it, probably tomorrow. I just had no idea it existed until I found it like half an hour ago. Usually I'm on top of these things

glam rock hamhock posted:I feel The VVitch thematically does what Belladonna of Sadness was going for much better and without the aspects that confuse the latter and bring it down. They're thematically of a type, yeah, and The VVitch is good, but Belladonna of Sadness hits me much harder. I get why it's a difficult movie to watch (intentionally, I'm sure), and there's definitely a conversation to be had about how it uses rape, but it's a phenomenal work of art.

Belladonna of Sadness is really good, but yes, should probably come with a content warning. Not for being anime though, that's just stupid. (I would also argue that Belladonna of Sadness's nudity and rape has very little in common with anime and is much more in line with general psychedelic animation at the time. Compare it to something like Vince Collin's Malice in Wonderland)

I know almost nothing about the EU other than anything I've seen of it blows but I disagree with this on principle. Mediocrity is the fucken worst.

Just had a Facebook argument with one of my Mom's Confederate apologist friends from back home who was defending the Robert E Lee statue in Charlottesville, Va that the city is taking down and that Richard Spencer and a bunch of other nazi fucks have been protesting the removal of the past couple weeks. I loving hate the south.

Budgie Jumping posted:Ehhh, dropped r or hard r, it's the same word. When affluent white people drop the R, thinking that makes it friendlier, really all they're doing is affecting some idea of a black dialect and to me that's just as hosed. I think I agree with Skwirl on this one. Dropped r sounds way grosser for a white person to say. They're sort of the same word, but not really, dropping the r is a diminutive form, which changes the meaning. It's not just a dialect thing. Obviously gently caress any white person who says any variant on the n-word. Edit: also even if it was just "affecting some idea of a black dialect" that still sounds worse than just being classically racist and leaving the hard r, to me.

Maxwell Lord posted:In the old days the A-budget movies would be adaptations of novels. If they weren't they'd commission a novelisation to be published ahead of the film's release to make it look like the film had literary bona fides. Hollywood secretly discovered time travel in the early 2000s, all "remakes" of popular '80s films have been original ideas sent back in time as long form advertisement for their modern versions.

Charles Bronson owns, and I think traditional actor charisma would hurt his performance. He's like the cool, tough, man of few words type brought to an almost parody by just being gross and menacing and ultraviolent. Anyway the lead in to his obituary in the new york times rules: The New York Times posted:Charles Bronson, a muscular coal miner from Pennsylvania who became an international film star and archetypal American tough guy, died Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

glam rock hamhock posted:In general Okja is odd in that it is very unsubtle in it's messaging while being kind of shy about making too firm of a stand. Like Swinton's character is shown to mostly be just trying her best and her main problem is she's really naive. Also, while maybe not intended, when she basically says "it's unfortunate we had to tell all these small lies but people are adverse to GMOs for some reason" I couldn't help but agree. Still it's hard to tell the movie's intent, because it doesn't really make any cases against GMOs. In general it's a movie where both extremes are shown as being kind of dumb and their own way with even the last minute pure big business character shown as not being so much evil as purely motivated by profit. That is evil Swinton's character may be trying to do her best. She may just be naive. But she's a capitalist, of the techno-libertarian "let's make the world a better place" type. And capitalism is a failed, cancerous ideology. It is the enemy, not Swinton. The film comes from a place of intense and utter hatred. The good guys are portrayed as dumb because they are, Bong Joon-ho isn't interested in exploring a real solution with this. He already did that in Snowpiercer Blow up the door, fight capitalism outside its strictures, not within. Okja is way more horrifying because everyone plays by the rules, two pigs are saved, and a status quo of exploitation is maintained. Okja, like most films, is a horror movie.

There's nothing in a chat log as a medium that precludes it having description, characterization, and genuine feeling, you dumb dumb. Ready Player One is a garbage fire for all the other reasons.

I think An American Werewolf in London has a really good final shot. The cut from it to the credits is probably the best comic timing in the movie imo.
