By Freewheelin Go To PostThe King of ComedyIt's funny that being critical of a guy is disrespectful. Never claimed that King of Comedy wasn't a good movie nor that Bob didn't do well in it, so shut it.
fuckin’ blackace disrespecting De Niro, he’s incredible in this
I'm just tired of Scooby-Doo in general
I get it, kids love talking dogs and mysteries and monsters and stuff, it's just most of the content post-Zombie Island is so, so bad

Hey Marty! Kundun! I... thought it was okay?
There’s clearly an awful lot to admire - largely on the technical side - but it feels like the one Scorsese film I’ve seen that doesn’t really feel like a film of his. The script never truly delves into the Dalai Lama as a character; he’s symbolism and figurehead and almost preternaturally flawless, and that doesn’t sound to me like a Martin Scorsese protagonist. Dramatically, the film is largely inert and suffers because of its earnestness - the actors too are genuine but wooden, hampered by the decision to have them speak in English. It has to be commended for its take on China, but Scorsese plays the material too straight (not necessarily saying a ‘Last Temptation’ approach would have worked, but it would have been more engaging), and it winds up making for an interesting curio but certainly not an essential part of his filmography.
Where it does shine is because of Scorsese’s collaborators: the Philip Glass score is magnificent, managing to sound both ancient and incredibly new at the same time; Roger Deakins’ cinematography is gorgeous throughout, his understanding of lighting and colour impeccable; Dante Ferretti matches the work he did for ‘Casino’ and ‘The Age of Innocence’ with astounding production design; and Thelma Schoonmaker proves herself once again perhaps the best editor in film history, galvanising a glacial film into bursts of energy.
Of the 16 Scorsese films I’ve now seen on my chronological rewatch, the only one (outside of Boxcar Bertha) I’d struggle to say I liked, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a hell of a lot to admire about it. And, of course, it’ll forever be the perfect riposte to Marvel fans purely because of its subject matter.

The directors/producers that are so desperate for Marty-senpai to respect their 'art' is a whole other ordeal.
Just got back from Terminator.
I wouldn't go to Terminator unless you like ridiculous amounts of CG in non-stop action scenes and one of the worst lead actresses to a big budget movie I've seen in a while. I did enjoy Linda Hamilton though.

By Cleff Go To PostJust Herzog things
Do you watch any television?
I do, I watch the news from different sources. Sometimes I see things that are completely against my cultural nature. I was raised with Latin and Ancient Greek and poetry from Greek antiquity, but sometimes, just to see the world I live in, I watch “WrestleMania.”
An unexpected choice.
You have to know what a good amount of the population is watching. Do not underestimate the Kardashians. As vulgar as they may be, it doesn’t matter that much, but you have to find some sort of orientation. As I always say, the poet must not close his eyes, must not avert them.
So you’ve been watching “Keeping Up With the Kardashians?”
I’m starting to discover it. I’m curious; that’s my guiding principle.
Messing with Disney+ has got me thinking, how often do you all re-watch movies? There's so may movies out there I've never seen(a lot of especially notable ones) and only so much free time I have with life, so I feel weird doing something like re-watching Toy Story.

I do rewatch sitcoms like crazy(not actively but one on in the background)

It's why I will cancel my subscriptions. The content on there just isn't something I want to rewatch. I'd rather pay $3-5/movie once it hits streaming.
My Netflix is just used turn on Frasier/Cheers when I go to bed.
Still on that 1$ Hulu sub so I can throw on Seinfeld/living single and most other classic sitcoms.

but yeah idk who routinely watches movies, even ones they enjoy, like they would a sitcom or a show like mythbusters

My experience, if I'm watching something I'm dedicating almost all of my attention to it. I use music for background noise

I used to just play some shit i've seen like 50 times before like old cartoons to fall asleep to. Wont miss out on anything but it would put me to sleep. Now I'm just really dumb and have a mobile phone like 5 inches from my face and take forever to nod off.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostIt seems Fast & Furious is bringing back CGI Paul Walker.Boooo.
By Hitch Go To PostCommando is the most rewatchable film of all timeI tried. I couldn't stand the outdated sound foley for the gunshots.

Bringing Out the Dead
Some films just knock you for six. I was completely underprepared for how electric this movie is; how can a movie about death be so full of life?
New York in this movie is even more sinister and horrifying than in Taxi Driver, a demonic circle of a hellish nightmare that never ends. More so than any of Scorsese’s myriad movies about the city, this one best captures the juxtaposition of hope and despair that resides within it. The doctors and ambulance staff, hard at work keeping the junkies and gangsters and timewasters alive, while they themselves lose sight of each other and slip further into the underworld. Schoonmaker - need I say it again? - excels at bringing together a film made up of vignettes more so than a real plot; her editing matches Frank’s mindframe perfectly.
One of the joys I’ve got out of my Scorsese watch, particularly the new watches, is seeing him work with actors outside of the typical De Niro/Pesci/Keitel zone. Burstyn, Cruise, Defoe, Pfeiffer and discovering Griffin Dunne have all been highlights. Here, there’s a smorgasbord of performances to revel in: John Goodman! Ving Rhames! Patricia Arquette! (Michael K Williams!). Nicolas Cage, however, makes an astonishing impression. From moment one, his hollowed-out eye sockets haunt the film, and as he grows increasingly manic and hopelessly desperate, his performance grows stronger and stronger. It’s the absolute perfect combination of actor, material and performance; there isn’t many better lead performances in a Scorsese film, and that is high, high praise indeed.
A surprise and a delight, this; one of the lesser-known Scorsese movies, but absolutely one of his best.

By Hitch Go To PostCommando is the most rewatchable film of all time
watched it a few weeks ago with a friend who had never watched it before, his experience watching it for the first time made it feel fresh for me too even though I've seen the movie 10 times before
great movie 👌

If an action movie starring Harris, Cage, Biehn and Connery and goddang Tony Todd were announced today then goddamn.
My very bad movie evening continues with the awful new Robocop which was filmed in Hamilton. Oldman and Keaton are in this AMA
