soliciting worst movies of the decade lists and getting pissed when someone puts a Marvel movie on theirs is a perfect way to close out the decade when you think about it

Barudak posted:On Chesil Beach is not the most reprehensible film of the decade but it is a specific kind of self-pitying indulgence of melodrama with absolutely nothing to say much less show that its in there for me. I'm curious about this one. I'm very skeptical of modern literary fiction so I always find it satisfying when a novel hyped by the New Yorker crowd gets a film adaptation that then gets absolutely poo poo on by the general public (see also: The Goldfinch, Where'd You Go Bernadette?)

as we all know, if a film has a moral we agree with, then it's a good film

i recently watched this movie Street Law which is an interesting Italian pre-Death Wish oddity where the lead isn't avenging anyone's rape or murder, he's just avenging the fact that some bank robbers beat him up and humiliated him. Worth tracking down, not one of the worst movies of the 2010s or the 1970s for that matter

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I'll take it. Man, are there any books about that whole expat actor crew that spend the whole 60's and 70's in Italy? If there isn't there should be. I'd even take a book about when everyone was hanging out in Japan doing whiskey commercials
