By FootbalIFan Go To PostVery random but do you guys know any movies where it's raining for a lot of the movieHard Rain
After rewatching them on Netflix. Kill Bill Vol 2 is way better than Vol 1. The pacing after the Vivica A Fox and Hospital intro scenes really lets Vol 1 down. Also, QT is not great at action sequences.
Also Pai Mei is the goat.

By /sy Go To PostKill BIll, resevoir dogs, Hollywood. Definitely bottom tier QT.Disagree about the other two but QT really shines in his dialogue and character relationships. Kill Bill didn't showcase that to me.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostI just love that Bong is finally getting massive appreciation worldwide, the man is pretty great.He’s always been getting massive appreciation worldwide. Don’t confuse hype in mainstream America with worldwide fame. He himself said the Oscars are a local event.
He was at the Red Carpet of the Oscars saying how much he liked The Farewell and when he saw Celine Sciamma (the director of Portrait Of A Lady On Fire) at
a post Oscars party, he handed over the Best International Feature Oscar to her and said "You should be holding this".
By blackace Go To Postbefore he won of courseWow good, zinger bro! You sure showed him!
By Perfect Blue Go To PostWow good, zinger bro! You sure showed him!you sure defended his honor!
Wasn't a zinger... his comments seemed more bitter than anything. 🤷🏿♂️
I didn't like both Kill Bills. I mean, they weren't bad per se, but as QT movies they kinda were lol.
Reservoir Dogs had some decent QT bickering at least

By Perfect Blue Go To PostWow good, zinger bro! You sure showed him!he's right though.
By Yurt :3 Go To Posthe's right though.Right that he said it before he won? Sure. But it has no relevance at all to anything.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostRight that he said it before he won? Sure. But it has no relevance at all to anything.sounded bitter af.
Rightful so and everything for international films everywhere but still bitter.
By blackace Go To Postsounded bitter af.Huh? You’re the one taking shots at him lol how am I bitter. You genuinely seem to find no joy in anything.

I was saying he sounded bitter af but if that shoe fits wear it...
People take the Oscars way too seriously. It should be regarded as an addition to the film industry, not the be all and end all.
By Hitch Go To PostPeople take the Oscars way too seriously. It should be regarded as an addition to the film industry, not the be all and end all.An addition to the American film industry, yes.
But Americans think they’re the centre of the world including the film industry, when the awards are something only Americans care about. Hence Bong calling them local. Which they are. Just like Korean movie awards are local to Korea, and so on. Wasn’t a bitter comment t all, maybe only to American sensitivities.
By n8 dogg Go To PostImagine thinking Bong was being bitter lolimagine thinking him getting love in America now warrants remember he said it was a local event 🤭
By Pennywise Go To PostMost of them just don't know the quality of korean directors, actors and movies in general.Yeah that makes sense. Hope that means alot of foreign movies and actors gets the recognition they deserve in US/UK centric events.
Only took one movie that get's a bit of attention through mass media and they're all hooked.
Besides Parasite is far easier to digest than other movies from Bong Joon-ho or other directors like Park Chan-wook, Jee-woon Kim and so on.
I doubt alot of people will give these movies a chance. It's just that one movie that will soak up the attention and that's about it.
Not totally fair, but I would love to see Ken Loach finally doing well at Oscars!
By Hitch Go To PostHard RainHaven't seen this
By Slavic Go To Postse7en is all rain.Seen all 3 but thanks
blade runner has lots of rain.
godzilla 1998 has lots of rain.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostThe CrowAdded to list
By n8 dogg Go To Postrain man
By Hitch Go To PostRain Over Me??
By faridmon Go To PostNot an Oscar Bait, but I am still shocked over all the attention it gets. Really good film but man, the praise of it is just over the top.
Memoir of a Murderer > Parasite
But I am happy it won Oscar just to see some salty tears!

I've seen well over 100 korean movies and all of Bong's work and saw it like a year before it got any real oscar buzz and still thought it was phenomonal and possibly his best work.
Imagine imagining any of this matters, this time next year, it will all be forgotten in favour of the next batch of decent films.
"Americans think they are the center of the film industry"
::looks at top worldwide grossing films of all time::
wonder why

By Perfect Blue Go To PostBut Americans think they’re the centre of the world.I mean...they are
Well Hollywood is the biggest film industry out there, so its not a stretch to think they are the centre of movie milieu
america used to be the centre but they've been creatively bankrupt for too long. parasite winning the oscars marks the end of american media dominance.
By rerixo Go To Postamerica used to be the centre but they've been creatively bankrupt for too long. parasite winning the oscars marks the end of american media dominance.Not really.
The money is there, the majority of actors are there, the infrastructure, the licenses, the studios, there hardly is a language barrier and many more factors.
Doesn't mean we won't see a rise in appreciation towards certain markets like the korean movie industry. However, nobody will take over.
"it's one of those nice, gentle french movies where you have incest, which is portrayed as a nice secret between mother and son. i like this."
💀
this "dvd picks" series criterion has going on is fun by the way. lots of interesting insights.
the one with edgar wright made me hunt down don't look now.

Technically Bollywood is bigger and so is Nigeria’s.
Hollywood is third
By Apollo Go To PostTechnically Bollywood is bigger and so is Nigeria’s.Apollo pls
Hollywood is third
Yep, Nigeria produces on average around 1000 films a year, putting it second place behind the biggest film industry, Bollywood, but ahead of Hollywood. However, the average Nollywood movie is produced in a span of 7-10 days on a budget between $7,500-13,000.
It’s like saying Buckethead is the biggest musician.
Saw the Director's Cut of Doctor Sleep, I really liked it.
Think some parts of the ending could have been a bit better but overall it was good and kept my interest for the whole 3h.

By bud Go To Postthe one with edgar wright made me hunt down don't look now.
Don't Look Now is incredible. Saw it in 4K at the cinema back in September and it looked so good for an almost 50-year-old film.
Emma
At its best when satirising the genteel nature of its story, and doesn’t do that often enough; in the second half, too many concessions to what is quite frankly a rote tale are made. Delightful to look at, however; vibrant colours and glorious costume design burst from the screen, and there’s a handful of winning performances, not least from the lead.
Suffers in comparison to the likes of Little Women and The Favourite in regards to more auteur-driven period dramas, but is just knowing and tongue-in-cheek enough to get away with it.
The Silence of the Lambs
What’s most notable, especially considering it’s Hopkins’ performance that has endured in cultural memory, is how clearly Starling is the chief character, how her femininity is crucial to the story’s narrative, and how remarkably good Foster is.
There’s some potentially rough narrative to be had about the treatment of transgenderism, but I’ll err on the non-cynical side and say Demme (and Levine) actually does a fairly nuanced job of capturing Bill’s humanity among the twisted nature of his crimes.
One of the rare times the Oscars got it bang on.
