Film 2022 | No MCU/MGS rankings/Don't Look Up reviews/how reilo spends his money opinions allowed

watched the piano teacher. very french. but also very good.

Isn’t that a contradiction?

i dont think so. i watched a woman get impregnated by a car last year, in a french film, so clearly it's not all bad.

Movies watched recently:

Thirteen Lives - a little dry but I appreciated how restrained it was in telling the story. No real need to dramatise. Some impressive technical filmmaking, and a lovely warm third act Joel Edgerton. 3/5

I Came By - lacks narrative focus, has a series of weak performances around a strong one by Kelly Macdonald, and some ludicrously cartoonish shit from Bonneville. Not terrible, but very mediocre. 2/5

The Rental - Dan Stevens is always worth a watch, but this ultimately promised more than it offered, and the horror elements are really botched. Better as a domestic drama. 2/5

Werewolves Within - some nice performances, especially Richardson, but a rushed third act weakens things immensely. 2.5/5

The Nest - not the ‘thriller’ Nettlix promised, and a little one note and heavy handed, but two wonderful performances leading it. Law is as good as he’s ever been, and Coon is incredible and deserved a lot more praise than she got. 3.5/5

The House of The Devil - appreciated its restraint, its performances - especially Noonan - and its craft, but it took a little long to get going. Great last twenty though. 3.5/5

Do Revenge - good performances, a bit of edge but everyone in it is a cunt and there’s real emotional and narrative whiplash constantly. 2/5

Thor: Love and Thunder - disastrous. Narratively fickle, tonally all over the place, Thor is a massive unlikeable wanker, and for an action-comedy it commits the horrifying crime of having shit action and being unfunny. Crowe is good fun. 1.5/5

not a good time for the boi n8

where have all the 4.5/5s gone brother

it's big american n8 that is failing you again. you just gotta watch some real fucked up kino from shitaly, france or korea or some shit innit.

i need to wait for my girlfriend to fall asleep so i can watch titane without judgement

if she stuck with you for all this time, i think you could watch salo in front of her no problem.

ten point scales are for cowards

just facts i am sorry.

10 point scale for cowards
5 point scale for brainlets
6 point scale for the thinking man

you have to be able to differentiate between very good, great and masterpiece

what about the old ebert 8 point scale? lad

that cunts scale was reversed though. gave blue velvet 1 star.

no you don't


we call this the mandem curve


what is this monstrosity

you cant trust a curve like that

going to go back and edit all my reviews to only be 1 or 2 stars. so it can look cool.

don’t publicly shame my fucking curve you sicc cunt

edit: my 5/5 and 4.5/5 differentiation is the sole reason for the 10 point scale. Only 26 films get my ‘cum without touching’ award.

So good brehs

Isn’t that how you watched it the first time?

By Old King Rob Go To PostIsn’t that how you watched it the first time?

1st time was half old school watch other half reaction

Don't Worry Dorling was alright - sort of like they picked a few Black Mirror episodes and merged them together. Cinema ticket now £8.50 though, I was thankful for my moviepass. Which is my way of saying wait for the distros.

One Direction wasn't terrible though.

would you say it was worth all the off-screen drama?

Actually did some googling and it's not even the worst romance amongst the cast. Bit of an age difference between Kyle Chandler's daughter and her bf, to say the least.

Watch glass land.

It gets a 2/6.

Wasn't very impressed, despite actor with the eye brows

Thank you for your continued support of Irish cinema.

He said you had the best taste in film on SLAENT the other day. I immediately refuted this. A couple of hours later he came back and agreed with me. Can't remember why.

Bodies bodies bodies. Sorry but it was not very good.

The quiet girl was very good though. Irish kino

By WoodenLung Go To PostBodies bodies bodies. Sorry but it was not very good.

Borat's daughter?

I do have the best taste and my opinions are always right but also, I do like dumb Blumhouse movies so Bodies was up my street.

Rewatched The Social Network

Brilliant film

By Punished Go To PostI do have the best taste and my opinions are always right but also, I do like dumb Blumhouse movies so Bodies was up my street.

i want it to be known i even mentioned you as probably having the second best taste in music (after facism).

By Adam Go To PostBorat's daughter?

i wish i knew what you are referring to here

I have the best taste because I watch the most wide ranging things. Get rekt nerds

By WoodenLung Go To Posti wish i knew what you are referring to here

He thinks you mean the quiet blonde girl in Bodies, who also plays Borat's daughter in Borat 2, and not the movie The Quiet Girl.

By Perfect Blue Go To PostI have the best taste because I watch the most wide ranging things. Get rekt nerds

that doesn't make your taste good though. hating on eggers is certified bad taste.

By Laboured Go To PostHe thinks you mean the quiet blonde girl in Bodies, who plays Borat's daughter in Borat 2, and not the movie The Quiet Girl.

oh. i didnt realize that was her. nah. the girl from shiva baby wasnt very good in it either, despite being great in that film (on a side note, i cant believe stavros halkias was hitting that)

i meant the irish kino

By WoodenLung Go To Postthat doesn't make your taste good though. hating on eggers is certified bad taste.

Must have me confused with Apollo, I like Eggman

It’s that Ari Aster dude who is fraud status

She can't be that quiet.

By Perfect Blue Go To PostMust have me confused with Apollo, I like Eggman

oh yeah i meant ari aster, or ast as i call him. i forgot which one of the great directors you hate.

Ticket to Paradise - Bad movie. Never gets to the point. Predictable point I might add. 2/10

badlads
days of heaven
the thin red line
the new world
the tree of life

is this the greatest run a film maker has ever had?

You forgot Knight of Cups

Maybe two of those films are good, so no. Sorry

By Daz Go To PostYou forgot Knight of Cups

To The Wonder is even worse. Knights of Cups at least looks sensational like his other films.

I've tried many times and failed every time to watch the new world. So I have to say no, brother. Days of heaven and Badlands very good though. tree of life also good. havent watched the thin red line yet.

By Daz Go To PostYou forgot Knight of Cups

will have to do a rewatch one of these days, but to the wonder did more for me.

aww man, tnw may actually be my favourite malick.

Best run off the top is Kurosawa from mid-50’s to mid-60’s. I don’t think any modern director is up there with best run considering they don’t create as many films as the old legends. Some of the Hollywood cats were putting out two a year.

Sean Baker is about to do it, believe.

Best run is Coppola’s run in the 70s imo

Godfather, The Conversation, Godfather 2 and Apocalypse Now all within the span of 7 years

Good shout ^

Modern day IMO Steve McQueen. Four films four absolute bangers

Kurosawa 1950-1965 is incredible.

Obviously your mileage varies on who you like as a director. Tarantino hasn’t made a bad film for me. Neither has PTA. Billy Wilder has a great 10-15 year run. Buster Keaton never made a bad flick.

Another good answer is Coppola. The Godfather, The Conversation, Godfather Part II and Apocalypse Now in the space of seven years. Allah willed it.
