Reply to comment by mrmechsale in Why don't smaller distributors distribute more animated features by SuperL_Ken
People say this but there's been more animated films nominated for best picture, and notably far more animated films nomi ated for other awards like screenplay after the the category was started thst in the several decades before. It's made animated festures much more of a part of the awards conversation generally.

Reply to Fast Motion used dramatically? by Hailstormshed
Every talks about the unforgettable opening scene of Ghost Ship, but there's another scene, shot in fast motion, that's (to me) just as jaw-dropping. It shows a series of crimes -- murders, double-crosses, triple-crosses -- and it's done in fast motion, so that you're not supposed to be able to track the shifting alliances of who's betraying who. All you can glean is that the number of people alive on the boat is dropping every few seconds, all by desperate human greed.

Reply to comment by flamagramma in The Weeknd, Jenna Ortega And Barry Keoghan To Star In New Film From Trey Edward Shults by DemiFiendRSA
All of the Weeknd's music videos are pretty much works of art.
His sensibilities seem to align with auteurs like Trey Edward Shults and Safdie Brothers (Uncut Gems supporting role).

Reply to comment by NGNSteveTheSamurai in What would happen if no more superhero films were made for the foreseeable future? by nayapapaya
Some people act as if superhero movies are the only movies ever that people saw more than others. There’s always some sort of king. This whole cycle isn’t new.

Yep, it still gets played at least once a fortnight in our house. Wholesome as all heck. Looking forward to this.

I'm an old fuck (by internet standards) and also a weeknd fan, but I am actually a pretty recent fan. My first actual contact with something weeknd was when I saw him in Uncut Gems and read the whole discussion about him playing a younger version of himself whatever. I liked him in the movie.
Then he did after hours and dawn fm which are both great 80s throwbacks for an old fuck like me and I became a fan.

When something comes out on a streaming service: couple days
When something comes out in a movie theater: a week
Just my opinion of course

Reply to I am not okay after watching The Whale. by scrapperdude
Feeling emotions from a movie IS A GOOD THING. People need to look into themselves instead of getting upset from something they are watching.

I can only think of a couple off the top of my head and the first is debatable as to how it falls on the comedic/drama scale.
In Big Fish Edward meets the love of his life and comments that people are right about time standing still, but they don't tell you it compensates by moving extra fast to catch up and she leaves before he ever has a chance to ask who she is or even talk to her.
In Cube 2: Hypercube a couple of the group members end up in a trap room with accelerated time and wind up aging into skeletons while having sex.

Great movie.
I made a comment two hours ago that I felt like Aguidor in these shoes that I have not worn since pre-Covid.
I grew used to wearing hiking shoes.

Reply to "TÁR" had everything to be unforgettable: Cate Blanchett as an amoral composer? How can you have that and make a movie as boring as "TÁR" turned out to be? by Lili_Danube
I thought Tar was a pretty riveting character study and performance.
With that being said, I do think the climax and ending of the film unfold rather unceremoniously. I think you can argue, that's kind of the point but it does kind of make the ending less dramatic.

The Raimi Spider-Man films were clearly made with a true passion for comics. They echo the dynamic storytelling that makes comics fun. Most MCU movies just don't do this. Into The Spider-verse was a movie that felt immensely refreshing to me, because it quite simply felt like the immersive cinematic equivalent of a vividly-illustrated graphic novel.

I thought it was incredible. Pretentious dialogue? How do you think people speak in the elite classical music world?

The Book of Boba Fett didn't make much of an attempt at all to establish interesting character arcs and new stakes.

True Blood used it quite a bit. It’s campy, but not really a comedy.
