I have no desire to relive my law school days, but I have to admit it would be fascinating to sit in on a few copyright lectures a few years down the road when some of these expired public domain works get hauled into court and the case law is developing.

Mordja posted:Anyway, is Capote PSH's only leading role? I guess he's almost the deuteragonist in The Master? I guess you do have to consider him secondary to Joaquin in The Master, but that's my favorite PT Anderson film, my favorite PSH film, and a personal hall-of-famer overall. I'd endorse the prior recommendations for Synecdoche, New York (this one in particular), Love Liza, and Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. I'd also give mentions to other lead/quasi-lead roles which include A Most Wanted Man (straight up lead), The Savages (perhaps co-lead with Laura Linney), and Flawless (arguably second to De Niro but he got at least one award nom for lead although this one isn't as good as the others).

mysterious frankie posted:Hoffman’s delivery of the line “You PIG gently caress!!!” occasionally enters into my thoughts at random because of that movie. Tremendous performance, tremendous film. He is definitely not second banana to Joaquin in that. It’s practically a love story, they share top billing imo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRLvrE5zX6o That's a favorite line reading of mine too, I laugh every time I watch it. And yeah, not only is it a great co-dependent love story, it's one of the greatest films about alcoholism. FAKE EDIT: Also his reaction to his own outburst when he vainly tries to appear composed even though he just called a mild-mannered skeptic a "pig gently caress." PSH was the king.

Sunk Dunk posted:Did anyone watch the master of horror series on showtime? Any recommendations for good episodes? I think Masters of Horror is a solid watch for horror fans, but in addition to factoring in the limits of being a cable TV show at the time, it's absolutely worth noting that the quality varies WILDLY. Horror is my favorite film genre and I almost gave up on the show four episodes in because it seemed like a downhill slide. I actually HATE the episode "Jenifer" with a passion, that was nearly the breaking point. (Not teasing the poster who mentioned it before, because the episode is spoken of highly and comes up high on rankings of all the episodes. It's just baffling to me.) The series picks up after that, and a lot of my favorite episodes are in the back half of season one. It's an anthology, so you can skip around freely. It's fine to start with episodes by directors/actors you like, etc. My personal favorites (in order of series appearance) are: -Cigarette Burns (John Carpenter) -Sick Girl (Lucky McKee and Angela Bettis of May together again, probably my overall fave) -Pick Me Up (Larry Cohen) -Imprint (Takashi Miike, the episode Showtime refused to air)

True Detective Season 2 is a mess, but I feel like it would have gotten more appreciation for the moments of pulpy insanity if it wasn't the follow-up to one of the best single seasons of a TV show ever. Colin Farrell beating the poo poo out of a bully's dad on his own front porch is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xIZVMJjvHQ "Twelve years old my rear end. gently caress.

Much of it is forgettable, Cigarette Burns sticks out for being really good (though still derivative of Polanski’s The Ninth Gate starring Johnny Depp I think the existence of two seasons of Masters of Horror disproves Showtime would ever withhold anything for being bad and poorly edited.

Vakal posted:Was Jennifer the one with the girl with the monster face? All I remember of it was the part where the creepy orderly guys were watching her getting scrubbed down in a sanitarium shower while lamenting that it was a shame her face was so hosed up since her body was so hot. Yep.  Then again, those were the same orderlies that let a detective who has no familial or personal relationship or legal authority over an adult mental patient whatsoever check her out of the psych ward and take her to live with him.

I just got back from seeing Dogtooth. Although not the rowdiest crowd I've ever seen, it was, by far, the most times someone in the theater has said "oh my God" in a movie I've been to. And it ran the gamut from shocked exclamations of "Oh my God!" to quiet horror of whispering "oh my God..."

Sir Lemming posted:The Barbie drama is frustrating because it seems to have devolved entirely into "because this movie is good, it should have a nomination in every category it could possibly be nominated in". But movies and performances can be good for different reasons. Supporting acting is different from lead acting. It doesn't mean Margot was less good than Gosling or whatever, it could just mean it's not really a "lead actor" sort of movie/role. I do think Robbie not getting a nomination is a surprising snub, but there's an awful lot of cherry-picking going on here. I've seen articles bitching about Gosling getting a nom and not Robbie and crying sexism... without mentioning that America Ferrera got a nomination for Best Supporting Actress. The AV Club (I know, I know) was hand-wringing about "I'm Just Ken" getting a nomination for Best Original Song, even though Billie Eilish's own song for Barbie was also nominated in the same category. In fact, the same publication ranked "I'm Just Ken" as the second best song on their shortlist of potential nominations.

I have no qualms at all about going to a movie (or concert or whatever) solo. I'm not going to miss out on something just because I don't know anyone who is interested and available. Sure, it's nice to make it a date night or go with my film-going buddy so we can do a nice debrief after, but I also enjoy getting my favorite table, having a drink and some snacks, and just lounging in the best seat in the house. Plus there's so many options that I like going to things on a whim if I hear about them last-minute. Multiplexes are OK for like a late run or maybe some early showing on a weekday, but I despise dealing with the big crowds.
