13 Hours is actually two and a half hours of Michael Bay screaming "what the gently caress is the point of American imperialism in the Middle East?" while some sick firefights and explosions play in the background. Highly underrated.

Redux is almost an hour longer and (going off memory) contains two additional major sequences and a lot of minor changes. I preferred Redux last time I watched both versions back-to-back, but that was almost a decade ago and my tastes have changed tremendously since then. As always with these kind of things, watch the theatrical version first.

I'm glad to see Hacksaw Ridge got so many noms. That movie kind of came and went without much fanfare, which is a shame because it's one of the best war movies from the past decade.

ruddiger posted:Belly starts off amazing but the ending is pretty forgettable. From what I heard, Hype Williams was one of Kubrick's favorite cinematographers, and looking at Belly, I can see why. Belly's biggest problem is that the gangster lifestyle is shown as so incredibly sexy and alluring that it's difficult to make leaving it all behind look attractive. The plot and the visual storytelling start diverging so hard near the end that the movie starts unraveling. That's not as big of a knock as it seems like, though, because the confusion sort of mirrors the internal struggles of the protagonists. I don't think it really wraps up as cleanly as it could have, but it's a hell of a ride right up until the final seconds. Just so watchable.

The RNC trip report episode is good. To be honest, Chapo wasn't as good before the election as they have been since. It may not be worth listening to older episodes unless you're really into their style of humor.

glam rock hamhock posted:The problem is there are different levels of Trump supporters. There is a very vocal group that can't be argued with or brought over or anything like that but there are those that voted for him because they were mainly worried about having a job this year, they care about that way more than anything the left tries to shame them into having to care about and Trump was the only one actually talking about saving/bringing in jobs. These people also don't tend to be all that vocal about their support though.

Assuming you went to Williamsburg Cinemas, the audiences there are more enthusiastic about the moviegoing experience than just about anywhere. I'm pretty sure it would be my theater of choice for that reason, even if it wasn't convenient and cheap.

After seeing Silence on Saturday, I'd like to say an extra special gently caress-you to the Academy for practically snubbing it in the nominations, and then passing it over for Best Cinematography, which it absolutely deserved.

I only bring up Marvel movies in real life if someone explicitly asks what kind of movies I'm not into, which is kind of a weird question and not a very interesting line of conversation anyway. It happens more often than I'd like.

It's definitely on a certain kind of person's checklist, the kind that doesn't like to hear my answer. For a little while last year it got replaced by "Man, I bet you think Beavis was fuckin' terrible, huh?" which is about 20 times more interesting as a subject of conversation.

"Cold-pressed juice" is the same thing as "raw juice", which has been around decades at this point, and is just unpasteurized juice with some of the fiber left in it. Add that to the list of ways the Juicero is a non-innovative innovation.

It's a mashup of In the Loop and This is What Winning Looks Like, but done really straight and ponderously. Brad Pitt's performance is just Aldo Raine "for real".

imo Zizek is best enjoyed in film or lecture format, if you're going to try to engage with his ideas at all. His prose style is the worst I've ever read.CharlieFoxtrot posted:Reading Capital on its own is definitely a huge undertaking and though I wouldn't dissuade you from it, huge chunks of it are specifically tied up in the context of 19th-century Britain that its meaning may be lost without a companion book (I would recommend the ones by Michael Heinrich or David Harvey, Harvey also has a video lecture series on Capital as well)

What's really funny is that SMG's tone and mode of engagement with others are an essential element of his posts. I don't just mean like a signature style or something, but that they provide additional context and content for the argument being presented. Like it or not, it's pretty tough to take the argument without everything else and end up with the same understanding.

Halfway through filming, the producers realized they were getting Return of the Jedi Han when they wanted Empire Strikes Back Han. They'll probably end up with neither.
