I generally like The Boy and the Heron but it’s absolutely super frustrating how much of a like, shaggy dog story it becomes in the second half, constantly introducing new elements that while they or may not be good in themselves/have interesting subtext don’t seem to fit together to make something coherent. I like it more now than when I first saw it in October but I still think that scattered feeling stops it from being great. Very funny that he almost bankrupted his studio to make something that feels so completely subconscious and abstract tbh.

I do think the swing Barry took in the second half of that final season was overall a misstep but the last two episodes were still really good and I respect the ambition. The other three seasons are amazing throughout though

I watched the Aquaman 2 trailers forgetting that Patrick Wilson was in Aquaman 1 so I was like “oh, it’s a new character, Aquaman’s long-lost brother” and it was only when I actually watched the movie I remembered he was literally the villain in the first one

Wonka is pretty good. They made him illiterate for some reason which is kinda weird. Also he makes a chocolate which cures low self-esteem which is the most unrealistic thing in a wildly fantastical movie

Yeah In the Know isn’t an amazing show (far too self-satisfied with its parody of woke people which makes sense given the Mike Judge connection) but the designs and animation are all really cool So sad to hear about Gustafson. He was so fuckin talented

Orion and the Dark doesn’t really manage to transcend the limitations of the contemporary 3D animated kids movie stuff but it’s definitely a cut above the average, Kaufman adds a lot of clever humour and the metastory about storytelling is real good. I really don’t understand why Paul Walter Hauser is doing such a strong Seth Rogen impression though

kaworu posted:If anyone is still interested, here’s some pictures of the “Kinonik Studio” where my dad stores and works on the reels, and where he also does screenings every Wednesday night it seems. I was just talking to him about it - they used to do them at this dilapidated old theater in downtown Portland called “The Movies”, and then they were screening at a local art gallery called “Space” for a while, but that apparently wasn’t too functional. Now they screen here, and it sounds like it’s a pretty fun place to watch a movie with 30-40 folks in there together. God drat this is sooooooo cool

Saw Miracle Mile as part of a mystery movie marathon and everyone in the screen loved it. We were having a great time laughing at how ridiculous it was, basically an absurdist masterpiece. Then got home and saw a bunch of reviews about it being legitimately scary and effectively dramatic. It was insane. I love that movie but apparently what I love about it happened completely by accident.

I just found out a friend does this regularly and it sounds insane Sometimes I have a nap in the middle of a movie if I’m really sleepy but otherwise nah. I have a friend who does but he has severe ADHD Today I watched Deep End (really cool and wild) and Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (loving incredible, Almodóvar is the best)

Boy of Joy posted:I recall there being 12 title card sections/parts, not 3? Also War and Peace is split up into 4 parts technically. That makes me wonder, when they screen these 7 hour movies in an actual theater do they do multiple intermissions? Yeah, I saw Satantango in cinemas and it had two intermissions. And it was three discs on DVD (I assume it’s not as many on blu-ray)

In the version of 2001 my work shows the intermission is literally baked into the movie

ShoogaSlim posted:i do think that whenever anyone does bring it up it tends to get immediately compared to all other xmen/fox comic book movies, which maybe gives it an unfair advantage bc that pits it against a lot of absolute heat death of the universe levels of hot garbage movies. yeah this was the big issue when it came out. everyone was obsessed with comparing it to the other x-men films and ignoring how it is as an actual standalone movie (not very good!). the dialogue is terrible, the cursing feels totally unnatural in a “oh so this is what people liked about Deadpool right????” way, the darker tone feels overly forced, and the third act is awful

Gripweed posted:Was Logan that mature? He fights an evil clone of himself.
