So it seems that it takes exactly 2 goons telling me it's good for me to see a movie I was purposely avoiding. Watched Lady Bird. The protagonist is not someone I would have been friends with in high school, and not someone I found interesting now. But yeah it's a well done movie. And the popular girl turning out to be smart, somewhat friendly, and with some ethical standards seems much more realistic for me. This isn't the 80s or 90s where the cool people clique throw paper airplanes at dweebs during class. They kind of threw that away by her going along with the plan to just ditch prom when her friend was really hoping to go; but kids will be kids. e: The part that stood out to me was that her brother and his girlfriend who both graduated with STEM degrees from an a Public Ivy were both underemployed in retail. I did know a few people like that, mostly from chemical engineering. They didn't do retail though they all did blue collar work like drive trucks or do construction. One of them, who had briefly been employed in his field after graduation and before downsizing, decided he didn't even like lab work and kept at the truckin' Bright Bart fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Mar 27, 2024 |

I just realized, for the Dune sequel just use the Tiptoes technology they used on Gary Oldman on Anya Taylor-Joy, and we can have her as a toddler saying creepy rear end poo poo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3qGGk5ymQ4

He certainly doesn't have a tenth the talent although much better skills at getting poo poo made and out.

I asked him why and he said he didn’t want to sit and watch dials all day.

Bright Bart posted:The bigger the time jump the more plausible it seems. You can make it 18 years and if you make Timothy look paler and more weary & give him a different haircut and you can just imagine it's a mix of him being boyish looking in general and the Spice keeping him fit even without it being outright stated. AJT could, not convincingly, but plausibly if you squint, play an eighteen year old in that case. Especially with makeup and styling. Dune 2 starts like 36 hours after they have that conversation in the first movie.

Magic Hate Ball posted:hot take: yorgos lanthimos is a poor man's peter greenaway I mean The Falls is a great idea, and executed well from moment to moment, but it's over an hour too long for it's own good! I don't agree with people who say The Lobster drags in its second half, but even if I did I'd concede it's doing something different to the first half. Rewatched Drive My Car this weekend, still an absolutely brilliant watch.

I feel like I should probably watch a Yorgos Lanthimos film at some point. All of the trailers I've seen of his stuff make me intensely uncomfortable though. Also, why does he and Lars von Trier occupy the same spot in my brain?

Anybody here seen The Program? The lance armstrong movie? It’s kinda frustrating. The cast is across the board fantastic. Plemons is maybe a little charitable in his depiction of Floyd Landis, and they had to dial down Dr Ferrari a bit because to accurately depict him would require doing him as a literal cartoon character, Who Shot Roger Rabbit style. But still, every single actor turns in just great work. The problem is, the movie’s like an hour forty minutes. Which is nowhere near enough time. Every single scene has to deliver more facts to the audience. There is literally no time to breathe at all. At one point Armstrong is delivering a speech to fundraiser or whatever, a woman comes up to him, they exchange three flirty sentences, smash cut to their wedding day, and the wife is not seen for the rest of the movie. They try to a framing device with the Irish reporter investigating Armstrong, but they literally don’t have time for it, the framing device just gets lost in the series of and then, and then, and then scenes. The movie unintentionally makes a very strong case that it needed to be three hours long. To tell this story properly you need a long rear end Barry Lyndon style movie. Or maybe a season of American Crime Story. There is one thing the movie itself does that really impressed me. The movie has zero time or interest to grapple with the idea that it was bad that Armstrong was exposed. But the only guy who was really materially harmed was the insurance salesman who wrote a policy to cover the big bonuses for multiple Tour de France victories that the USPS team never thought they’d have to pay out. So the filmmakers had a problem. How do you get the audience on the side of a loving insurance salesman? Especially when you only have time to have him on screen for like thirty seconds? You cast Dustin Hoffman. It is such a small and dull role, the only reason they cast Hoffman for it was so the audience would like him. And the movie also implies that he insured them with his own personal money? Which I don’t think is real, but still. An absolutely brilliant move.

I vaguely remember reading that Lars Von Trier isn't so much abrasive but is nonetheless insufferable because he is depressed in an annoying way. Like the DP on Antichrist did most of the heavy lifting because Trier had to retire to his trailer to weep all the time

But when I met von Trier at an LA restaurant he paid for my meal and then my mortgage.
