graventy posted:The "problem with the Duvall thing". lol Does Kubrick really get a complete pass? A pass, sure, but it’s rare to find anyone examining his legacy without addressing his treatment of actors in a negative context. It’s very much something he is well known for. A lot of the conversation around Duvall in an attempt to condemn Kubrick, totally infantilizes her. Stephen King went on a campaign saying gross stuff like “she is basically just there to scream and be stupid”, completely glossing over the fact that she gives IMO, one of the greatest performances in horror history. If anyone is uncomfortable with the film because of its production, don’t watch it. But it’s important that we recognize her performance as her own work and we respect her own words when she speaks on her relationship with Kubrick. The same goes for a lot of well-established actors who desperately wanted to work with Kubrick well after his reputation was widely known.

Sam Sanskrit posted:Yeah, this is true for me as well but also I loving love Abbas Kiarostami and just wanna hear smart people talk about him and honestly that is kind of weirdly hard to find. I think FilmSpotting did a Kiarostami marathon if you haven’t already heard it

Sam Sanskrit posted:Thank you for this. Filmspotting has never been my favorite but I end up dipping into their stuff for things like this every once and a while and it is better then nothing. Yeah it can be a very dry, public radio sorta vibe but I feel like they a really do a fine job breaking down filmmakers with their marathons

Del Toro and Jackson are gonna be favorites (and I’d be thrilled with either) but I feel like that might work against them. My dark horse favorites are Park Chan-Wook and Stephen Chow. Chow would be so much fun. Edit:

Chow is currently beating Truffaut and I am all here for it. God I don’t want a 21 film Truffaut series. Hard to see Chow winning the whole thing but it would rule.

Siddhant Adlakha joins the pantheon of guests with very soothing, broadcast voices. He will be up there with Adam Kempenaar, Jamie Loftus, John Hodgeman, and Chris Weitz.

thrawn527 posted:I...haven't voted yet. (I voted in brackets I knew, and I voted in Patreon brackets, but not this one, since I don't know the directors.) The only movie I've seen from either is Snowpiercer, which I really enjoyed. But, uh, sell me on who to vote for, since apparently one vote matters? Park Chan Wook, Vengeance trilogy slaps and is weird as hell. Real dang freak stuff. Honestly both are really great, Bong would have some very interesting career context as an Oscar winner. Both have made many fantastic, fascinating films.

Im surprised, my experience with Keaton is basically nada but I really enjoyed listening to the extensive context on those episodes. Pretty fascinating time in general.

Gaius Marius posted:Fincher's got a real rubberband of a career. Gets his ticket with the sublime Seven, follows it up with The Game a film that is fun but hardly great, then comes out with Fight Club one of the best films from a year of absolute bangers, down again with Panic Room a perfectly okay film, Then Zodiac a film that got snubbed for zero reason and is perhaps his best film, he swings back with Benjamin Button one of the most awful award chasing piles of poo poo I've ever seen, then finally breaks the pattern with Social Network which is good although I find some of the praise unearned. Then it's pretty smooth sailing for him until Mank which despite the protestations of some insane Mankophiles is a movie that simply does not exist. I wouldn’t say it’s really an up and down career, he is pretty remarkably steady. I haven’t seen Benjamin Button and I would prolly hate it but otherwise he has no bad, or very weird films like a lot of blank check guys. I like the directors with wild up and down swings but Fincher is going to be interesting regardless.

fishing with the fam posted:There has never been a nic cage movie on the main feed?? How is that possible. Yeah it’s pretty incredible. I guess them holding off on Michael Bay has helped keep Cage off the feed. Other possible directors that would bring more Cage- Scorsese, De Palma, Schumacher, Herzog, Ridley Scott, Mario Van Peebles WeaponX fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Apr 2, 2024 |
