By DiPro Go To PostIt was one of those rare movies you just knew would become an instant classic.
Both that and TWBB, I came out of the cinema thinking ‘fuck that’s a masterpiece’.
I use the scene with Moss behind the door waiting for Chigurh to teach structure and tension lol
Javier Bardem is one of the scariest fucking dudes, too. He's a big dude and the cadence of his voice just drips with villainy. Perfect casting.
Even his little bit as the cartel boss in Collateral has me shook.

The best film of 2007 I’ve seen besides NCFOM has got to be 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. Never watching that shit again, though lol.
I watched Midnight Cowboy this evening. I would never make it as a midnight cowboy.
Watched Judgement at Nuremberg the other day, so the Canada parliament applauding a Nazi news story seemed apt, against the plot point where the Yanks are telling the Tribunal to go easy on them (because they'll be useful in the Cold War).
Spencer Tracey the oldest man in the world lol

6 - Phil Lord and Christopher Miller Get Fired From ‘Solo’ Midway Through Productionreally? people care THIS much about this? wow ok lol
When the Academy Awards handed out Best Picture that year, however, they went with American Beauty. This seemed like a very profound work of cinema at the time, but try watching it again. It revolves around Kevin Spacey desperately trying to have sex with his teenage daughter’s best friend. We’re supposed to think there’s deep meaning behind a plastic bag blowing in the wind. There’s a whole gay panic plot with the evil guy next door. It’s hard to get through any random five minutes without cringing. Giving it Best Picture in any given year seems nuts today, but it’s especially insane when you look at the other choices they had.
I can't even fathom how this is a real take.
The entire point of him lusting after his teen daughters friend was because he was such a down and out loser. You're supposed to think he's pathetic.
Was listening to the Sean Connery episode of Mark Cousins' Scene by Scene and learnt that he had the writers of Porridge rewrite the Rock script. 🤨
Wikipedia says they did the same for Never Say Never Again but I don't have any memories of that Bond.

By n8 dogg Go To PostSo a while ago, I decided to watch all the classic twilight zone episodes from the 50s/60s. I stopped midway through and never returned until I randomly decided today to keep going. With all the episodes, I look up the cast on wikipedia afterwards to see what else they did, their backstory etc. The first one I have just watched had only one actor on screen and when I looked her up, I saw that she was one of the main cast of The Conqueror and died of cancer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnes_Moorehead.
By KimoSan Go To PostI can't even fathom how this is a real take.Yes but you see it depicts things that I find offensive therefore it can never be good. We can only ever create work with happy feely bits.

Nothing irks me more than people thinking that a depiction of something within a movie is endorsement thereof.
By Laboured Go To Postyou can't just post heavy rain footage and pretend that it's some old movie
I find it weird that they'd want to allow A.I writing of any kind for now until the way it's used is settled in courts. I think it's already been said that A.I isn't copyrightable. I think the presumption is that a writer making use of it would claim ownership, but where is the line drawn? How much of the content is allowed to be A.I written before its a copyright issue

Resurrection is a 1999 horror-thriller film directed by Russell Mulcahy and starring Christopher Lambert, Leland Orser and Robert Joy. David Cronenberg appears in a cameo as a priest. Lambert co-wrote the story for the film with Brad Mirman, who also wrote the screenplay.

The guys walking in the opposite direction with no care in the world and him clawing at the ground just missing the back wheel of the tricycle are hilarious.
Edit: Watch it again, the camera shows his son has peddled quite a bit of distance between the collision with the skater and where he's on the ground trying to get up. Raiden leaps and is within inches of the backwheel. Incredible staging to this scene.
Went to see Dazed and Confused in front of the big screen this evening. It was top and a key part of the Dudes Rock canon. As we were leaving, two guys ahead of me agreed with eachother that it was 'sad and pathetic'. Bullshit.
No One Will Save You was very good, one could almost call it a masterclass in genre filmmaking. The no talking gimmick was mostly just that, but everything else was on point. Kaitlyn Dever is brilliant in it.

I thought the first half was very good. Lost narrative momentum after that. Not at all a fan of anything that happened last 20-25 minutes.
By Punished Go To PostThe curse of Dumbledore. Good luck to Jude LawBury your gays.
Saw X with 83% RT after 24 reviews, scores for the reviews are around 3 to 4 out 5 but it's going to end up being the best reviewed of the series.
This tracks with the buzz that was around the test screenings, I am up for more Saw shenanigans.
Going to do a full series rewatch as I missed the last two and am going to be traveling a bit in the next weeks.

Considering Spiral is at least in top 20 worst films ive ever seen (maybe top 10), that is quite a change.
