I hope they have some kind of script, the idea of manually screencapping thousands of images from Hotel For Dogs is horrifying Movie chat: I am surprised by how much I liked Spring Breakers

Black Mass is getting some great reviews, count me surprised. I still can't get over Depp's weird make-up, but maybe making the character look like the cryptkeeper is the whole point.Kull the Conqueror posted:Good god, Tron is so beeauuuutiful That looks straight out of Alladin.

The ironic thing about these young conservatives is that many of them become liberals once they grow up. It's almost as if the political opinions someone holds as a teenager aren't very well thought out.

Samuel Clemens posted:In a good or bad way? Uh if you're looking for a film that checks of basic markers of competence like it's on a mission from God, then it'll be your poo poo. But the whole thing just felt so lazily considered, like there was little unifying ethos behind the production beyond "Let's see if we can't get Johnny a Best Actor" nod. The closest thing I can work out to a driving theme is that of self-denial and cognitive dissonance, but it's applied so sporadically and inconclusively that you just end up instead with the same two scenes played out over and over: 1) Whitey kills someone in a really drawn-out way, typically after making the victim think he won't kill them 2) Miserable white men in suits yell at each other

it looks like a pretty forgettable gangster flick. I saw The Visit! Loved it. Sucks for people who refuse to see it due to some internet video makers who love the hobbit and jurassic world. :sauce: It's probably a pretty good "on your laptop in a dark room" movie too but seeing it with a small crowd was fun.

If so, is that scene tense or exciting enough to work as an actual climax? My answers below 1) Corey Stoll interviewing a bunch of crooks in an interrogation room I guess 2) No

Jenny Angel posted:This is more for 'I wanna hear your perspective' than 'I need convincing', but please explain why in one sentence One of the reasons I like Prisoners so much is how it achieves that strange effect of implying a whole world outside of the film. I'm not talking about backstory or even necessarily three dimensionality, but Villeneuve is amazing at just playing with a lot of different textures in a way that doesn't jar. You not only believe in the utterly preposterous Central Pennsylvania bad boy Detective Loki but also kind of want to read his eight novel Carl Hiassen series or whatever. Novelistic in this sense meaning that you don't just see a world that is mere depiction but leaves distinct impressions. Watching a Villenueve movie gives me the odd feeling of hearing the scene described in my head, something I think P.T. Anderson achieves from time to time. Not that this is the ultimate virtue of film; some might even call that a detriment that it doesn't seem fully and comprehensively visual. But the flipside of that is that it allows him to pare down aggressively and work in this extremely confident style. A lot of times, when I see a great shot in a movie, I often feel that it looks great and ultimately is meant for me to reflect on later if I want to think about the movie, but Villeneuve's confidence is to immediately contextualize it, not so that you are funneled into your interpretation of it but so there is no wasted momentum. There's a great shot I think a lot of directors would have shied away from. During a trek to a rendezvous, Villeneuve allows the mood to be totally spoiled by deflating the grimness of the combatants to let an absolutely amazing vista dominate the frame almost to remind you that you are always seeing some perspective or another. None of this can be confused for realism. It was a nice reminder of what at times seems like the inappropriate sense of humor Miss Bala has. Also because I like to indulge this kind of thing: it is a pseudosequel to Zero Dark Thirty. It treats the raid on Osama's House of Horrors as the beginning to talk about what closing the circle means in U.S. foreign policy and how justified ends are not the end of anything by any means.
