my take is all the star wars movies are mediocre at best——bad acting, even worse writing, stilted pacing would have loved to have seen lynch’s rotj tho

at this point i’m just actively cheering for every franchise movie to bomb, so it’s nice to see these early sw reviews

Serf posted:what's amazing is that it is bombing at all. every review is like "this movie has lots of fun stuff in it and everything you could want to see in a star wars movie and it loving sucks" yeah, and i mean it’s still gonna make a poo poo ton of money so it’s prob not gonna actually “bomb” bomb, but the bad reviews are a nice consolation

Taintrunner posted:Uncut Gems is one of the top 3 or 5 movies of the year. Just masterful - absolutely do watch it as soon as you can, it's absolutely visceral. I was screaming at my monitor multiple times through it, the movie is an incredibly anxious experience to watch, but in a good way. agreed, it owned so hard, may need to see it again. so much happens in it, it's hard to keep track and remember it all check out Good Time if you haven't yet!!!

imo the only good thing about the new star wars flick was the name “babu frick” stuck in my head like a mantra since seeing the movie, which was godawful ofc

my harry potter hot (?) take is that ALL the wizards in the HP universe — who see the plight of muggles who need food and clothing and shelter and basic needs, and then do nothing about it when they could solve so many problems with their magic and alleviate so much suffering — are evil

if you liked Parasite and want another south korean movie with similar themes but in a mysterious hitchcockian style, please check out Burning from 2018 (it’s on netflix i believe), my favorite from that year

watched Portrait of a Lady on Fire last night (now on hulu) and think it's my #1 of 2020 beautiful film, amazing direction and acting, really tight solid script, and an incredible ending — also quite radical in its politics, primarily around gender check it out!! esp if you like slow burn love stories focused on below the surface tension bubbling up and over a la In The Mood for Love, Carol, Before Sunset, etc

seasons 2 + 3 are a complete change of pace from season 1, not at all a miserable dirge, and at points genuinely transcendent (as much as a tv show can be at least)

a thought while watching hamilton high —— if you compare the founding fathers to stalin......... like the founding fathers did just as bad poo poo and likely even worse than stalin, so like we should as be as critical of the founding fathers as the mainstream discourse is of stalin anyway what i’m trying to say is hamilton is incredibly grotesque

Some Guy TT posted:that haemi isnt dead she just split because she was being hunted down by loan sharks this extremely plausible possibility is explicitly brought up and in addition to fitting with her character and lifestyle it also explains why no one wants to talk to jongsu about it because for all they know hes working for them yeah i thought it was deliberate that haemi had just left to go on her next trip or something, that she was this kind of transient party girl who jongsu just poured all of this poo poo into and made stuff up in his head like a day dreaming loser then all the stuff with ben is similar, where he's inventing a story around him based on all of these really limited and not at all indicatory "clues" (e.g. the hair ties or watches or whatever he finds in the bathroom...... i can't remember) but i took the ending that whether ben is a devious sex trafficking sociopath or just some rich gently caress who jongsu invents a bunch of stuff about, the aggrievement jongsu feels toward him is very real, and in a class war way the poor/downwardly will exact their revenge (or desire to) whether their fantasies about the rich are true or not idk that was my take after seeing it, but it's been almost 2 years now, would love to see it again because the mood it builds after haemi disappears and you don't know what is going on (e.g. her cat) was so good

watched Killing Them Softly last night, which was fine and maybe a bit overhyped by the things i recently heard about it but brad pitt's little monologue at the end in response to obama's inauguration speech is perfect, probably read incredibly cynical at the time (which, i mean, it is) but has been borne out as more accurate than probably any other filmic sentiments from around the same time, greatly elevated the movie imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V6GHnxEJjg

i realize this has been going on for years now, but i’ve seen another round of tweets from liberal white women about how a guy having Infinite Jest on his book shelf is a huge red flag. the discourse around IJ is so ridiculous it’s really just bewildering to me. i actually have read it and it’s a good book — though i understand why many would be put off not only by its size but also its style — and one that is actually quite prescient and still relevant given the overwhelming amount of Entertainment being produced today. i’m curious what these women think it’s about, though i suppose they just had bad experiences with guys who had it on their shelves in college and are just extrapolating from that or something. anyway it is a good book, i will defend it (though not DFW apparently being an abuser), and people are really psychotic about it

there are so many “red flag” type tweets for guys who apparently like certain books (IJ, hemingway, bukowski) and movies (scorcese) but not enough for music, it’s very disappointing i want some wild music tweets with the same premise, like “ladies..... if the guy you’re seeing says his favorite black metal album is filosofem — run!!”
