Thank you! 😂

You gotta do the safe picture. Then you can do the art picture. But then sometimes you gotta do the payback picture because your friend says you owe him.

Great example thats not a major city.

I’m sure Beyoncé isn’t the only one.

Nearly no one defines the big awards as those so you are right by your own definition. With many other people’s different definition you might also be true.

5 minutes? Best part of the movie

Nick Cave & Warren Ellis:

• The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford
• Blonde

I hereby declare that appropriation only applies to you doing things I don’t agree with and not me doing things you don’t agree with. It’s my own interpretation of appropriation, which everybody now must hereby abide by.

*God, I hate the “Death of the Author” concept so much.

That’s weird. I can’t get ChatGPT to generate anything but peaches and roses on any topic.

The fingers cutting thing is something that clearly drags the film into absurdist territory - I can see how people who wanted a more straightforward historical drama would find it jarring.

Rather than a allegory for a civil war, I interpreted it as a struggle of someone having an existential crisis about not wanting to just accept the familiar and mundane in life. But, rather than finding a new balance that allows you to explore new things, you fixate on burning the bridges to your old life. And ultimately all that does is harm yourself and the people around you. You see multiple examples of that theme in the film: With the sister taking the 'healthy' option of pursuing the new, rather than pushing away the old, whilst the 'idiot' kid loses all hope after his first half-hearted attempt at pursuing his 'dreams' fails. Farrell's character (can you tell that I don't remember any names) has no dreams at all, no capacity to deal with change - and unable to handle things when they inevitably do.

Suspiria

They never post the Oscar qualifying runs that last only a week since nearly no one sees that release. They wait till the movie starts it’s real limited release a month or two later.

For my home state: Rocky.

Rocky looked and smelled like Philly.

Groundhog Day kind of feels like middle PA.

Pittsburgh, eh, Flashdance for those guys.

Witness captures Amish country well.

The Molly Maguires captures my coal town region, historically.

Event Horizon had a spectacular soundtrack and Alien 3 as well. Most recently The Empty Man had a really terrific soundtrack that mixes orchestral score with electronic music, much like the two aforementioned films.

It was really good imo. The mask scene was phenomenal.

Pyscho Pass since youre into anime.

More recently Lycoris Recoil.

In the story, if something doesn't make any sense but it's in a well-made movie, it probably does make sense and you just have to think about it more

Sounds fairly reasonable.

I remember those. In ALIENS, we saw a clip of Newt's family, right? As for the Abyss, we saw that there were significant threats to humanity going on, including an alien-controlled tsunami just... standing off-shore someplace. Admittedly, the cut scenes aren't absolutely essential to the plot, but they make it better.

I’m legit watching a so bad it’s good movie channel and that just hit my funny bone at the perfect moment.

First movie I really noticed the soundtrack was django unchained. Then I watched the rest of Tarantino’s movies and, well
