Parasite won best picture. So now we know for a fact that Parasite is as good as Green Book and Crash.

Bong Joon-Ho won four academy awards in one night. The only other person to do this was Walt Disney for 1953.

If you missed On Cinema's Oscar Special, Gregg dressed up as Joker and accidentally killed a few people with carbon monoxide.

Is Barking Dogs Never Bite worth a look? I sort of assumed I'd have more Bong to dig into but it's the only of his I haven't seen.

Bong specifically shouted out Quentin for including his movies on Beat Of lists or whatever, but it probably applies to Korean films in general.

Vincent posted:What does this mean? You know the saying "a dumb mans idea of a smart person"? Yeah, basically the same thing. She starts with a conclusion and works her way backwards to justify it with semi-academic jargon, and people eat it up because it validates their opinions on stuff and lends a faux objective sheen to their likes and dislikes CelticPredator posted:film people are terrible. lindsey ellis is good you smug fucks.

Good choices all around

SuperMechagodzilla posted:As with a lot of internet people attempting to participate in discussion, she’s typically beginning from a conclusion and then using academic-sounding terms incorrectly in a way that “sounds right.” I posted as much in the interminable prequeldome thread, but if interpersonal drama doesn't sink the boat first it'll be kinda seeing how the contradictions in this body of film crit youtube unwind themselves. At some point there's going to be some film or TV series that won't reconcile neatly under this way of thinking and it'll be fireworks. Rise of Skywalker might have worked had anyone liked it, but alas.

UnknownMercenary posted:The Hobbit videos she made were really good. Doubtful. The first one starts with the premise that the hobbits were uneven (which I agree with! tho I suspect I would disagree with her over which elements are good/bad), but instead of explicating that she just reminisces about the Lord of the rings For an hour, then it ends. My interest killed, it's hard to imagine watching the second one.

The one where she interviews the actors about how lovely the films were for working conditions in the New Zealand film industry was pretty good. Don't remember anything at all she said about the actual movies, though.

It is legit funny how unselfaware the Parasite win is. Like that movie is about everyone in that room but pretty much everyone there is thinking "but surely this doesn't apply to me"

I’m glad I decided to give Mandy a chance because while I could barely stand Beyond the Black Rainbow, I liked Mandy quite a bit! Things actually happen for most of the runtime, and I liked how it was designed to totally overwhelm the viewer. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is honestly still a lot of fun. The first act suffers the most from a case of sequelitis and being the middle chapter of a story, but once it starts rolling and all the pieces are set in motion, it whips. I can’t tell if it’s because I’m older and my attention span’s better or if I just forgot, but I feel like I’ve gotten a better grasp on the large-scale conflicts during these rewatchings than in the past. married but discreet posted:It's good, but if you're sentitive to dogs getting murked maybe stay away.

Honest Thief posted:the nightclub dance was the saddest poo poo, post environment colapse what is left is this ikea nihilism hellhole Haha normally I rankle at the word Ikea being used to describe modern Swedish stuff, but in this case it’s accurate. Ikea is already the face of modern Swedish quasi-colonialism and the stores are only tolerable because they’re designed to constantly remind you that you’re getting closer and closer to the exit as you walk. Aniara’s just a big drat floating Ikea traveling to Mars so they can build Ikeas there. Until it’s not.
