There is certainly a contingent of people who think The Fountain is like the smartest movie ever made.

Both.
By inky Go To PostThere is certainly a contingent of people who think The Fountain is like the smartest movie ever made.It’s not but that doesn’t mean it’s not good.
Movies are a way to share and transmit imagination visually. Plays are also that but heightened, and present, and socially connective. Books require your brain to do all the work, flowing at the speed of your own comprehension rather than the creator's.

Finally got around to watching Pain & Glory. Such a simple movie, it barely even has a plot, but the film still zips by and you don't even notice the two hours pass it's so well done.
Easily the best of the year so far

The scene with the ex lover is some moving shit
Watched Parasite yesterday, pretty great movie that effortlessly switches tones and builds up to an amazing climax that I don't think anyone can see coming.
I am very satisfied that was the last movie I saw on cinemas this decade, and not Star Wars.

that reminded me i was curious if anyone's ever asked him about his foot fetish.
turns out, someone has. and he denies it, haha.

When I meet Quentin Tarantino at the hotel where he has been doing press junkets for his latest film, Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood, one of the first things we start talking about is the popular notion that he has a foot fetish, which he is quick to deny.
“Oh, God. No. I fucking hate feet. Hate them,” he says.
I am shocked by this, as his films are full of lingering foot shots, which begs the obvious question: “Why include so many, if you hate them so much?”
“For the story,” he tells me. “I can defend every single shot of every single one of my movies.”
I accept his challenge.

MC: When you introduce Uma Thurman’s Mia Wallace, you do it with a tracking shot that follows her feet. Why is that?
QT: Because I didn’t want the audience to see what she looked like, not at first. I did the same thing with Bill in Kill Bill Vol. 1 — we only see his hands and hear his voice.
MC: But here it’s her feet.
QT: Well, yeah. Bill was sitting the whole time, whereas Mia is walking into the lounge where Vincent is waiting for her. I could keep her feet in shot the whole time; not her hands.
MC: But, you teased Bill for an entire film. With Mia, we follow her feet for a half-dozen seconds, hear her voice, then you cut to her face in the car outside Jack Rabbit Slim’s.
QT: So?
MC: Well, I’m merely suggesting that you could have introduced her differently. Perhaps tracked her from behind so we see her full body, not just her feet?
QT: But that would have given away how she looked. Everyone would have seen her black bob wig.
MC: But she was on the poster …
QT: Look, man. It was a creative choice, OK? [💀] My original idea was her interviewing Vincent with a super-8 camera.

MC: Jackie Brown, in my opinion your strongest film, sees a close-up of Bridget Fonda’s feet as she stretches them out onto a coffee table; she’s wearing a number of toe rings.
QT: Yeah, right next to De Niro’s whisky glass. Isn’t that gross? Bleh.
MC: So, why do that?
QT: This was a reference to an obscure Swedish film I’m sure you’ve never heard of.
MC: I’m a cinephile, just like you: try me.
QT: OK, it’s called Øer dis öfterblegen, Part III.
MC: Oh, the porn film where they have that orgy in the snow which is then broken up by a mad bear?
QT: … I didn’t think you’d know it.

Josh Boone confirmed that The New Mutants trailer will be out next Monday, theatrical release on April 6.
Finally saw the Joker. I liked it, great performance by Phoenix, surprised that Todd Philips pulled it off.
Glad I waited to watch it in 4K.

Cool how Ad Astra is just another freaking movie about how the only thing wrong with white men’s life is how much they hate their dads
