By n8 dogg Go To PostRewatched Tenet for the first time since cinema. Still bad.
interesting decision. i respect it.
It’s not even that the script is terrible (which it is) or the acting is largely mediocre (which it is). That could probably be excused on a pure vibes level if the action was good.
But it’s not. There’s no standout wow moment. The climax is edited terribly. The aesthetics (two teams in beige shooting at people in beige in a beige city with beige buildings) are fucking dire. Goransson’s score is the only thing about the movie that I would say rises above ‘meh’.

has a bad movie ever become good after rewatching it?
i've had okay films click with me after rewatching them, but never a bad film, i don't think.

I really didn’t like Lebowski first time.
Seen Tenet 3 times.
It peaked on the second viewing.
The whole film is one big temporal pincer movement.

Tenet would have been so much better if it actually ended somehow in the concert hall and been like 45 minutes shorter. The final battle sequence is just terrible.
Tenet is fucking shite. Not just shite when you consider the people behind the film, either. It is absolute DOG DIRT and Nolan was close to becoming a man of tod imo.
I spent my evening much more wisely and watched Casino for the first time. Incredible. Much like Goodfellas, the story and themes don't really appeal to me at all but the film is a fucking banger. Nearly 3 hours but it's relentless. It's very rare I'll watch a film on the longer side and not reach for my phone at some point but not with Casino. De Niro, Pesci and Stone were all excellent.
Pesci looked well weird sometimes though. I know he wore contacts in it but did he have prosthetics on too? His eyebrows looked mad in the later parts of the film.

Casino is great. Brill example of a film I didn’t vibe with first time, thought it was a redundant Goodfellas clone. Second time fucking loved it.
I’ll watch it soon. Realized I haven’t seen the vast majority of Scorsese’s film and trying to get through them this year. After Hours and The King of Comedy were sensational.

The Aviator is his most rewatchable movie. Probably my favourite, though not his best.

I think I'm the only one in the world who thinks Casino is a better film than Goodfellas. Better acting, slower burn, just more refined.
Also tenet is excellent

By Kidjr Go To PostI think I'm the only one in the world who thinks Casino is a better film than Goodfellas. Better acting, slower burn, just more refined.Goodfellas has that famous long shot into the restaurant, but I think Casino might have a lot more memorable shots in it. Panning and use of slowmo with the characters narrating is all very good. And the soundtrack is definitely the stronger of the two.
Also tenet is excellent
Tenet is barely a film. It's the MGS 5 of cinema.
I think Casino and Goodfellas are the same in my eyes, but Goodfellas is more rewatchable?
Both perfect movies where I don't see an actual flaw in them.
