The first Deadpool. Everyone was having a great time and in total disbeleif as to what they were watching.

It's totally not what you've asked for, but what you need is Hunt For The Wildepeople

It bored the fuck out of me I gave up watching after 10 mins lol

Agree completely. His movies hit you in the subconscious. And that’s okay.

Anything goes in art, not every film needs to be understood or summed up in a paragraph. And not every film needs to use similar structures. I think it’s really special that he gets to make these films even though they don’t make much money. History will look back on him fondly IMO.

I've only ever abandoned a handful of movies, 2 of them were Magnolia and Inherent Vice.

That opening is fucking gross

So start with writing blogs or reviews on Reddit or your own page. Putting the time and effort into scripting, recording and editing a Youtube video before you even have a grasp of the core underpinnings of the endeavor seems wasteful.

I get the feeling you want to be a Youtube movie reviewer more than you want to review movies.

This is probably the wide release.

It would actually make a terrific Law & Order episode, as they have tapped into many stories torn from the headlines along the way. And it would get publicity both positive and negative, and everyone would tune in, and the producers and writers would claim it is not based on any one event.

And yes, I would watch.

It opened twice

Well, go figure that. ;p
'The Victory' song was the song I was especially referring too, love that one. But the movie seems to be bit too obscure to have its soundtrack on itunes. Shame. ;o

>Basically when I watch his movies I'm like "I dunno what am I seeing but I like it a lot". No other director has that effect on me.

David Cronenberg and his son Brandon Cronenberg (who recently released Infinity Pool) both also use that type of filmmaking style, although they use it very differently. Like a world different. Might want to check them out if you want to get the same feeling

Read some basic screenwriting books like Save the Cat, which is basically -the- book every single person writing in hollywood reads and every good reviewer has read 10 times

I just saw this today and I adored it. I was weeping by the end. It's so gentle and warm and moving and evocative and soft. I love how the entire film is shot from Cáit's perspective. We only see what she sees. So lovely!

His movies are either great or just a bit away from being good to me. The charecters do make weird decisions, there's always some deus ex machina moment that isn't necessary, and I'm generally left thinking what was the point of any of this? At least I'm thinking about it when it's over though. So many movies end and your just like " well that was fun but it's over and gone now."

It just got released in the US.

Rope. Not that there's anything wrong with the original.

Madagascar 2

It actually makes a ton of sense when you realize 80% of the movie is just Naomi Watts’ dream. One of the rare instances where that trick actually works in favor of the film.

Just do it. When you hit a part you don’t understand, just be honest. “I don’t really get this. Audience, what do you think it means?” You know what people love? Telling you what they think. So let them.

If you think of it like Boiling Point or The Whale it could be one long take as the will smith character deals with the high emotion of his actions on a night where he knows he's has done massive damage to him, his family, his career and his public persona all while the world is watching and waiting for the announcement of his award. Think of the craziness in his head, the frantic nature of that table and the people involved as they try to maintain dignity in face of the worst type of scrutiny. The people in the audience all slowly realising islt wasn't fake, all wondering why it happened and in the centre of it all is this one man...

Interesting, because PTA is by far my favorite director and I can’t stand Inherent Vice or Licorice Pizza.

I think PTA is a much better director than writer, if I'm being honest. As a writer, he's a bit of an adventure. Some great scenes, but also very indulgent and uneven. You just aren't allowed to criticize him because he's been anointed as a film god already. Critics will look at his movies like a Rorschach blotter and find reasons to convince themselves it's brilliant.

As for Licorice Pizza, I think that's one of his stronger movies. My interpretation is that it's an honest love story compared to the typical Hollywood romances that present an idealized version of it. The Alana character meets a sequence of male archetypes (the macho man's-man Penn character, the "cool" swinging Cooper character, and the "virtuous" politician Safdie character who's living a lie). After sniffing around these men, she opts for the lowly Gary. Gary is ostensibly the least impressive of these men, but also the most genuine and caring. I can't say what PTA's intentions were, but my own interpretation is that the movie is about how real love may not resemble the idealized Hollywood version people are trained to expect.

It's not bad. It's just weak by comparison to it's predecessors.
