i'm quite a "cinema buff" as they say, and i feel like if a movie of the biggest broadway smash hit since cats or whatever was due to release in six months there would have been a little news about it before now

Uncle Boogeyman posted:which was worse: Glass Onion or The Menu glass onion was worse because it was so far up its rear end about how clever it was the menu was just boring triangle of sadness was less a movie and more a mash of ideas pulled out of a bag, not bad but it feels like a tv pilot that got rejected that they cut into a feature film

glass onion spends the entire movie winking at you and nudging you. "isn't this fun?! we're having fun! this is a cheeky movie!" it's like whoever wrote it had no idea why people liked knives out and focused in on "wacky daniel craig! actors! they're acting!"

In Training posted:They needed to cut like 20 minutes of explanation. They used to make similar tier mysteries every week on multiple network TV shows you don't need to be so precious about the format yeah. also iirc(?) it farts away the whole mystery premise by going "oh you thought you saw this, well here's what actually happened!" like ok, you're right, i guess i did waste my time watching the first 75% of this movie

in honor of bill paxton i just watched Near Dark, which i had never seen great movie, kathryn bigelow is really good at big macho guy stuff. it feels like james cameron ripped off the big gasoline truck sequence for terminator 2? even the soundtrack (tangerine dream, very good btw) sounded very t2-y at times. cameron maybe even stole the "make the scene very dark and blue" thing for t2? he should be investigated for his crimes anyway Near Dark is very good, five bags of popcorn and a big glass of grape juice that looks like blood

loquacius posted:did they just skip over the 90s nostalgia straight from 80s to 2000s or what a large part of what people consider "the 80s" is really the early to mid 90s all of that 2000-2010s butt rock (creed, nickelback, etc) was 90s grunge nostalgia

Pepe Silvia Browne posted:The 90s was dominated by nostalgia for the 60s and 70s and the the 80s was dominated by nostalgia for the 50s, so it only follows that as we move forward these things are all gonna blend together as we start becoming nostalgic for the times we were nostalgic. Side note, this is how Frank Zappa predicted the world would end, with ever tightening loops of nostalgia for the previous moment. "remember when we liked things" is a powerful force

is this a safe space to express the opinion that the new season of fargo is good and that fargo is a good show context i am a gigantic coen brothers fan. the only thing fargo has done wrong is they haven't weaved in any funny coen brothers references like big lebowski or burn after reading or barton fink
