I, Butthole posted:Hey friendos, do you have any particularly inspirational/insightful quotes from directors you could share? I'm starting to figure out some classroom materials for my new job teaching film and need some film-related wall stuff to hang around, and want to break away from infographics and junk. "The thing I find about the movie industry is that 99 percent of the people are absolute scum. They're horrible people, they really are. Very nasty killer rabbits who hate movies. But the other 1 percent are really the greatest, most wonderful people in the world." – Lloyd Kaufman "Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all." – Stanley Kubrick

Carly Gay Dead Son posted:I just watched part one of World on a Wire. Amazing experience, watching those themes being explored for what I guess is the first time in cinema history. Ah, yes yes yes! Such striking compositions, rich art design, and visual style. The downbeat 70s, slow heady dreaminess may not be for everyone but perfectly it targets my stimulation circuits.

therattle posted:Have any of you watched Small Axe, the Steve McQueen series? We have watched three of the five (The Mangrove, Lovers Rock, and Education), and they are amazing. McQueen must be the best British director around (or one of them at least), and he is dealing with a subject matter that is evidently close to his heart and that of his extraordinary cast, so you get a real sense of depth, feeling, commitment and and sincerity, executed with his skill and craft. The Mangrove bears numerous parallels to the Trial of the Chicago 7 (which I liked), but it better in pretty much every respect. They are must-sees, I think. I haven't heard of Small Axe 'til now, but it sounds right up my street. Thank you for the recommendation!

Uncle Boogeyman posted:I just really miss sturdy one-sentence high concept premises like that. "Angelina Jolie saves a child from assassins during a forest fire." Sold! It's the same reason I wanna see "WWII Pilot Chloe Grace Moretz fights a gremlin." Tom Cruise has this pleasing quality for me. Tom Cruise in a plane. Tom Cruise in a car. Tom Cruise on a rope, then a chopper, then a train. Tom Cruise on a motorbike to the max. Tom Cruise plays pool with Paul. Tom Cruise runs a brothel. Tom Cruise takes a break. Keanu, too. Keanu as a lawyer. Keanu as a programmer. Keanu as a hard drive...

Disposable Scud posted:For New Years I watched End of Days. I wish it was better. It has a lot of cool and entertaining stuff but its a goddamn slog otherwise. I almost chose that film before remembering how much of a chore it was to get through, so I went with its titular neighbour Strange Days instead.

Honest Thief posted:Silent Trigger rules, plopped it down on my watchlist after some people online were hyping it and it punches so far above its weight We watched this last night. Despite being clunky at parts and obviously operating within limited means, it managed to sculpt an effective style with a strong sense of space, environment and architecture. I enjoyed the squibs the size of dinner plates, too!
