Snowman_McK posted:It's not a coincidence that Wonder Woman, the movie that spells out its themes, has been the best received. It's not coincidence that Winter Soldier and Civil War, that have their themes spelled out in extended shot-reverse shot dialogue scenes, are also really well praised, just as Nolan's were. This is going to sound snobbier than I mean it to, but a good chunk of the cinematic audience (or at least, a good chunk of people who theoretically know and write about film) are cinematically illiterate. And the funny thing is, all those films, except Civil War, had already communicated all their themes in other ways. They just also spelled it out. How much of this is audiences not knowing how to interpret film and how much is the cultural mentality that these films, pop films, aren't deserving of close reading, that all they have to say is what they say in explicit terms? It's the mentality you see when people say "it's not Citizen Kane, it's just a popcorn movie", where some films fit a certain artistic mode and are "allowed" closer inspection, and some don't, and looking into those with a degree of granularity becomes pretentious or "putting too much thought into it". It's not that they're cinematically illiterate, it's that the way film, and art in general, but specifically popular art, is treated in modern consumerist society encourages a passive engagement rather than active interpretation. It's the same phenomenon that leads to people not picking up a book for years after leaving school: they're not unable or even unwilling to read, it's just easier not to.

Wow hosed up that Zack Snyder got killed during the Beavis filming

Baby Driver is bad mostly because Ansel Elgort is miles below Pegg and Cera as far as expressing vulnerability in a convincing way is concerned, and the late-90s Tarantino ripoff level script doesn't help. Like if it weren't for Wright's ability to craft visuals, it'd barely be on the level of Mad Dog Time.

Liking things is good for the most part, but there are unhealthy ways to like things. In conclusion, liking is a land of contrasts.

Whatever your thoughts on Armond, more critics should have the audacity to have The Chronicles Of Riddick be one of their first comparisons in a review in 2018.

They oughta make a thread where people can talk about armond white takes that aren't about sequential art movies so we can get back to talking about the best sequential art movie, American Splendor starring Paul Giamatti and James Urbaniak.

Urbaniak and Klausner as Mister Miracle and Barda, obviously, with Gabourey Sidibe as Max Lord. "Pumpkin patch, it seems I left my motherbox at the office before handcuffing myself to this nuclear missile, could you please get it for me before I, well, get disintegrated?"
