A.I. Artificial Intelligence can't believe I hadn't seen this before. Full of that Spielberg discomfort and uncertainty about whether it's a movie for adults or children. Not all of the notes landed for me but I loved some of the sequences (the flesh fair, the final part) and appreciated its boldness. Can't believe this was a blockbuster.

Watched this the other day too and was shocked by how much I loved it. I’m still thinking about it and it made me cry multiple times.

I had to excuse myself from The Aviator a few days ago and just listen to it going on in the next room because there's something about it that just rubs me the wrong way anymore. It's catnip for a certain kind of hero-worshipping "the rules don't apply to me because I'm just that awesome" type of person, and a lot of it feels written out of spite, or to soothe a grudge, like the whole "We're socialists! :agesilaus: *dashes out to net butterflies*" scene.

But hearing it audio-only really exacerbated that effect somehow, because I didn't have any cool visuals to distract from the didactic drumbeat of the dialogue. The movie censorship scene where the frowsty old greybeards were going :monocle: at the pinup photos, "You see, zee measurements uff ... her CLEEVITCH" — just lol when it's pounding on you through the wall and you don't get the effect of it looking like a super serious Epic Movie and you hear what a goofball cartoon the whole thing sounds like

I mean it's extremely obvious that the movie is taking stylistic inspiration from old hollywood classics where people talked like that. And I dunno it's kind of a self own IMO to, like, run away from a movie in your own home and just listen to it for some spiteful reason lmao

spiderman 3 is a very very bad movie

tom holland spiderman 1 is a really great spiderman movie

Really hard disagree on that one lol but that's fascinating. I feel like all the Holland Spider Mans are the MCU at its most boring, which is saying something!
