 i'm thinking of ending things is the new film from writer/director Charlie Kaufman. If you're familiar with his work, this could be characterized as "more of that." It is based on a book of the same title that I have not read. Apparently some things have been changed for the film adaptation, in case that sort of thing angers or excites you. It stars Jesse Plemmons, an imperfect clone of late actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and Jesse Buckley (pictured above), who I was not familiar with prior to this film. I thought this film was quite good. It is available to watch on Netflix. Please feel free to share your thoughts on the film below. note: I would recommend avoiding the trailer for this if you plan to watch it General Dog fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Sep 8, 2020 |

marshmallow creep posted:The trailer definitely gives you a different idea about what the movie is about than what it's really about. I thought it actually disclosed too much of the actual tone, but maybe that was just with the benefit of already having seen the movie. Regardless, it includes some moments that I'm glad I didn't see in advance.

Famethrowa posted:I posted a lot of words about it in the streaming thread, but this film hit me really hard for a ton of reasons. I thought the bit on stage at the very end was a bit much, but getting some context after the fact about the song that's performed makes me like it more. Up until then I was all in on everything at the school.

The scene where the janitor asks her to describe Jake is incredible.

I also like the stuff that's touched on as media as virus, which ends up being a pretty deep-running theme. Jake's projected ideal lady friend and Jake himself are little more than an accumulation of media and literary influences, to the point where the distinction between their own thoughts and works and those that they've absorbed becomes confused.
