He also hosed up his back during production so it could be a reference to that period. Was confused about that bit as well

I didn’t realize he was such a divisive guest, he’s got some dumb opinions but I always enjoy the vibe of the shows he’s on

I read that movie as less “she’s a terrible person actually” and more about how bad decisions tend to snowball

Drunkboxer posted:I think people get too hung up on whether or not a character’s horror movie transgressions are deserving of the punishment they get inflicted with. This is a genre where if someone is rude in the first act we expect them to be dead by the time the credits roll. I don’t think her one selfish action deserves a literal eternity of torment, but it makes perfect moral sense in a horror movie. Trying to puzzle out if a fictional character “deserves it” seems like an odd way to watch a movie to me. It’s also weird to only being able to relate to a character if they completely match your morality and decision making. I think that's fair for the most part (I never got the pearl clutching about that one scene in Jurassic World for instance) but Drag Me To Hell is much more explicitly about moral choices

thrawn527 posted:Do you mean the Jurassic World scene where the babysitter gets the most brutal death in the whole movie? I think that was just funny because there are other people far more deserving of bad deaths, and she's, like...fine. But my god does she get a rough death. But the same could be said for Richard Schiff in The Lost World. Perfectly nice guy who saves their lives, and then he gets ripped in half by two T-Rexes. So it's not really a series that punishes the deserving. Yeah, the babysitter. It just read like Joe Dante looney tunes stuff to me because of the way it escalates, but it really bugged some people. It's one of the few moments in the movie that actually shows a pulse though

Lenny is good and Star 80 is not despite the bugnuts production backstory. Never got around to Sweet Charity

Kind of weird vibes in the latest episode, they always seem nervous when they have a big guest on. Zegler seems nice though

I sort of disagree, I don’t think they’re best at digging into technical stuff and usually enjoy them sticking to broader movies. Some of the worst episodes are like Eat Drink Man Woman or The Weight of Water where the opportunity for bullshit tangents is low. It’s why I was happy Kubrick won over Welles, it’s not like they were gonna spend 20 minutes running through Joseph Cotton’s filmography

checkplease posted:It always felt like it was meant to be a stage play to me. He started as a playwright, so more or less. It works better with certain settings than others but I don’t think staginess is a bad thing on its face. I like him better when he tones it down a little (or it gets toned down for him), like The Social Network and Moneyball

Lots of good options in there, even the obvious ones. Only folks I'd prefer not to cover are GDT (just tired of him) and Cronenberg (20 movies too many movies)

Bong feels like the obvious pick over Park, he's a legitimate blank check guy (Mickey 17 apparently has a 100M+ budget) and actually having crossover success here in the States gives them a lot more to talk about.

Gaius Marius posted:The "Nolan sympathized with Oppenheimer because someone shot up TDKR" take might be the most baffling and I'll considered notion I've ever heard. Gotta say, I don't like Marie Bardi very much at all. This honestly doesn’t seem more out of pocket than the weird ahistorical armchair psychology Griffin trots out every other episode

I wouldn't be totally shocked if Fincher makes an appearance on the pod, he and Sims did a very lengthy sit-down interview a few years back to promote Mank.

It was funny reading this conversation then listening to the actual episode which is unusually focused for them and full of praise for individual performances and scenes and has Ben nearly tearing up at a part he found personally affecting

They were doing all the DC movies at one point and stopped because it was too depressing, I guess they’re doing Aquaman 2 because Griffin insisted for some reason. And yeah they just decided to do A Star Is Born as a one-off so now Cooper counts as an alum

Colonel Whitey posted:Are any of her movies well regarded? I didn’t think they were but I suppose she fits the definition of a “blank check” director regardless. They all have vocal fans and detractors but they were big awards films at the time and she's without a doubt an auteur
