Just started listening to this pod. Pretty good, weird to learn Arthur had a podcast and all that. What in the gently caress is wrong with griffin in the split episode. I don't understand how in the gently caress you can spend so long, and waste so much time not understanding anything that happened.

drat near everything that came out of Griffin's mouth about Nabokov on the Lolita episode was wrong, I hate when poo poo like that happens cause then I question everything else they're saying.

The Lolita Podcast so far has been pretty Tepid too, to be honest. There's a billion words written on Nabokov's oeuvre and reading them without constant commercial breaks or pointless comments from the peanut gallery is much more enjoyable. Nabokov himself didn't seem to find the film that fine though, there's a conversation between Demon and Van in Ada where he disdains plays and films because they're, in the end, the directors vision not the writers.

That's gonna be something, He's probably the most critically acclaimed director whose work I find in it's entirety awful, but all in different ways.

Not doing Kon eventually would be a crime, he's only got four movies. I would doubt he'd win though. Lean would be interesting, I've only Sean Lawrence and Brief Encounter, but there's gotta be something to a dude who can make two classics that are that fundamentally different.

Truffaut has a lot of good movies that are completely ignored, and he is remarkably consistent in making films enjoyable to watch even if they never quite hit the great mark. He goes back to the well on the same themes and influences enough that it's actually pretty interesting to see how his thinking on them ebbs and flows. But, the pod has never really been that good at sussing out the psychology behind and around the characters. Or at least they don't have the space to adequately explore the views. So if they did the series it would look more like a bastard child of a Hitchcock/Spielberg series, which in many ways is what Truffaut is, but I don't find that idea particularly compelling to listen to.

GDT is one of the most inexplicably dick ridden directors by critics I've ever seen. Getting the fish loving movie to win best picture is absolute nonsense. And Nightmare Alley absolutely didn't justify getting a seat at the table last year. If they wanna do a foreign director they should go for one that isn't already getting blown by every Tom Dick and Harry in the industry.

Silent Comedies are fun to watch, but they don't exactly have a lot of meat on the bone. Outside stunt trivia and behind the scenes trivia you just don't got a lot to talk about.

Oceans 12 is a vibe movie where you watch beautiful celebs loving around Europe, I've seen a lot of apologia around it but the fact of the matter is unless you care about Celebrity more than you car about craft or artistry then the movie will fail you. Clooney has always been a mystery to me, I got to talking with a Co worker once about the man and neither of us could really name a movie we loved him in, I like him in Fantastic Fox and Dusk til Dawn, but never loved him in anything. And some of his roles are overrated to hell, Burn After Read g for example, a good Film that people have posteriorly adjusted to great in a misguided attempt to right perceived wrongs. On the other hand, that's actually more in the spirit of the original Film than even elevens remake is.

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.

It shouldn't just be that though. Podcast is feeling like they're doing it for a career, there's a lck of joy in it as well as a lack of curiosity towards the films.

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.

The Game convo is one of the few times I'm fully in Griffin's camp and outside Sim's; the idea of it being about a man so wealthy he cannot process what is real and what is fake is intriguing but the execution is just not there. Griffin's undercutting of the point is the same as my own, it's a good cable movie, but hardly a worthy title to follow up Seven. I'd rate it worse than 8mm tbh.

Yeah gently caress this Ben Button pod. They got a bad case of the contrarians, news flash, just because people called something tepid Oscar bait at the time doesn't mean you have to try and reclaim it, especially if it is in fact and demonstrably tepid Oscar bait.

When I hear a "take" and the first consideration is not their reaction to the film, but rather than to the reaction of the straw man critic then I know their opinion is unfortunately nonsense. They spend thrice the time talking about the general meh the film received then on why the film should be considered good. And their reasoning for why it should be reconsidered is ill considered. Smatterings of standard sentimentality mixed with boring digressions and a circumlocutory screenplay does not a great film make unless you're trying to play Pacino.

Props on them for recognizing The Double. One of the best 3.5 star movies ever, too bad the director didn't ever get to do anything again. One of Eisenberg's best performances. Griffin's take on Blackhat is spot on. In Heat 2 Mann has Chris basically say what Griffin said on the pod. It doesn't matter that they were the best crew in the world, they were fighting over chump change at incredible risk because they couldn't adapt. Gaius Marius fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Oct 29, 2023 |

Fincher is pretty open about The Game being a tough film to end, there is also an alternate where he doesn't meet her at the end but imo both are pretty weak. Back half of that movie really loses the plot
