NieR Occomata posted:There is a common trend in film discourse, specifically film bro discourse (hello Snyder fans) where the movie is poorly made enough but throws enough random bullshit in there that assholes can collect the ideas they like from the movie they watched because it threw everything but the loving kitchen sink in there and praise the movie that they made up in their head and you end up having to argue against a non-existent glorified fancanon. this is what cringe comedy means right? tough to identify sometimes

i've been watching scavenger's reign while biking the last couple of days and while obvious comparisons to e.g. fantastic planet and nausicaa and moebius's stuff have been made, it also really reminds me of the other side of the mountain by michael bernanos, a mostly forgotten novella from the 60s about a bizarre and malevolent ecology. One of the best horror/science fiction/fantasy stories I've read. I think it's on archive.org and if it isn't anymore it's available for cheap, and you can read it in an afternoon.

kaworu posted:You know, I’m really not sure! I’ll have to ask him next time we talk. He does have a website set up at https://www.kinonik.org - and if you happen to live in the Portland, Maine area (somewhat unlikely, I know) he has showtimes there for screenings he’s always doing. He just did “Some Like it Hot” for Valentine’s Day, I think, then “Witness for the Prosecution” later this week to maintain some Wilder consistency, I suppose. His upcoming lineup is sick, he’s got stuff scheduled out for months.

Punkin Spunkin posted:What is with Hong Kong cinema's fixation with cops? I know it's bad in the West but it seems even more extreme. I turn on Chungking Express and its like bam. This isnt even an action movie!!! Guess that's what happens when you get so colonized and Britbrained. It rules that the only cop stuff Leung does is “stand around and eat”, probably the most realistic portrayal of the average cop’s day ever filmed The other guy beats someone up so that’s pretty much the full gamut

Maxwell Lord posted:Gotta disagree on this. Like, one of the things that make it work is they clearly thought a lot about every single shot- you could easily have a film class go heavy into each choice of angle because they have one set (mostly) and a limited range of physical business for the actors, so how do you frame this line vs that one, how do you keep up the visual interest without getting distracting, etc.? yeah that's what i mean. they did the bare minimum, no excess, just exactly the number of shots and exactly the angles and transitions they need to make it more than just a camera pointed at a stage.

ShoogaSlim posted:feels close, but i wonder if that's just the musical number that plays to accompany the video itself. Pre roll is everything that plays before the movie, especially ads, and it’s particularly common terminology in online video (like plex) https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/preroll I think it actually comes from misunderstanding an older use of the word to mean stuff caught on camera before a take starts but after the camera starts but I’m not 100% on that

Bright Bart posted:You have all these polls on news sites' culture and lifestyle sections where like 7% people of respondents admit to regularly having sex in the theatre when situation permits it e.g. an empty back row and loud film. I'm all for light kinks but you really should require informed consent before involving others. agreed. i just stand up before the movie and ask everyone "is it ok if we finger bang each other? does anyone mind? it's cool just raise your hand" and no one ever does Mister Speaker posted:On the other hand he kind of only knows how to make one movie: a hamfisted apartheid analogy. that's not a very good read on district 9 (it's not about apartheid per se, among other things it's about how apartheid never really ended it just shifted to focus on immigrants, plus some fully loving wild poo poo about white purity and miscegenation embodied by a guy getting a bug hand) but please, explain how demonic and zygote are apartheid analogies

Failed Imagineer posted:Yeah, I was worried the multiple viewpoints would try to somehow both -sides the rape, but it's actually just different sides of "Men are predatory scum within a strict patriarchy" which is good It’smuch more interesting that Jacques’s version of the story is absolutely rape by modern standards, and barely more sympathetic by his own, and that Jean is an rear end in a top hat in every telling, and again only slightly less so in his own. The stories are much more subtly different than in e.g. Rashomon

regulargonzalez posted:Has any director had a decade that rivals Coppola's 1970s? 5 films that are 4 S tier and one A tier (I suppose 3 and 2 if you're an especially harsh critic). Otherworldly and I can't think of another decade of that caliber from anyone. Leaving out ones already mentioned, Kurosawa 54-63 is pretty untouchable, Polanski from 65-74 (i guess fearless vampire killers is pretty mid), Friedkin's 70s (with the caveat that i haven't seen the brinks job), Cronenberg 79-88, Verhoeven from Robocop to Starship Troopers (technically 11 years)... good, consistent, and prolific are a pretty rare alignment unsurprisingly
