Carly Gay Dead Son posted:Wowie. I can't tell because the quality is so so-so and I don't have a copy of the movie to compare: is this the footage that eventually got edited to make the movie, or did he just start again from scratch? I think it's mostly the same footage but I haven't seen the film in awhile so it's tough to directly compare. I've also only had the chance to skim through it a bit, stopping at the stuff that's more clearly different than the release film. It seems like the biggest additions from the pilot was the Winkie's scene and everything that happens after Laura Harring changes her hair. One of the longer deleted scenes features Robert Forester's character and almost feels like one of his scenes from The Return. This did remind me of how much I love the bit where the guy spits out the espresso. It's just such a small detail that makes him seem like a real psycho. Lynch is so good at those kinds of moments.

I really miss going to movie theaters and I'm looking forward to going back to one once it's safe for me to do so. Most movies are better on a big screen with a full sound system and some films really benefit from seeing them with an audience.

Pirate Jet posted:Nowhere did I say they should be shut down, come on. I’m saying the idea being sold of theaters being objectively-better experiences than watching at home, even without thousands invested in your home setup, is sincere but false. I mean I think it is a better experience even at big chain theaters. I have lived in the Midwest my entire life and mostly only ever had chain theaters to go to and those are still a lot of fun to see a movie at. It's pretty rare for there to be anyone causing any serious disruption in the audience and it's fun to sneak food in if you don't want to overpay for concessions.

DrVenkman posted:The show was influenced by modern Democrats. Democrats consulted on it. A show about liberalism is going to appeal to liberals. I don't like The West Wind and it's easy to see the way the political stuff in it reflects current day problems in the democratic party but I agree that it's not responsible for it. It's a show influenced by stuff that was already and has remained a problem. I think a lot of the Chapo/leftist podcast methods of media criticism revolves around watching something they don't like and then basing all criticism around the kind of guy they imagine would like it. This leads to a lot of stuff that is borderline incoherent as criticism as it only allows so much engagement with the material itself before your talking about why This Is Us is a key component of the opioid crisis.

My dad's side of the family is mostly Midwestern Italians and growing up everyone over 60 all had personal styles similar to the cast of Goodfellas if they were all on tighter budgets. So when I first saw the movie it was pretty hard for me to view anything about the main characters as glamourous because they were all dressed like my senior citizen relatives.

David O Russell, though he's an abusive maniac well beyond just being a baby about people disagreeing with him. Joss Whedon also threatened to end the careers of multiple actors on the set of Justice League due to the crime of giving him notes.

DrVenkman posted:Something about this is so depressing to me. I've heard of that podcast and I can't imagine it's covering any new ground in terms of criticism of James Bond. There have been parodies of the character's ideology and mannerisms for almost as long as the he's existed. It's something that could be fun to talk about in a single episode of something but not as the premise for an entire podcast.

I thought the first one was basically fine. The opening where they re-re-reintroduce all of the characters is really weird and clearly something that was a victim of handing the movie off to a trailer company for editing. The middle of the movie is I think pretty good and I like the stuff they do with Waller but then the climax brings it down by being super generic. There are worse comic book movies. X-Men Apocalypse released that same year and has way more problems imo.

Wark Say posted:Hi, long-time lurker: Can I talk about how loving frustrating later-day Daniel Day-Lewis was as an actor and how he constantly got in his own way by doing the whole method-acting shtick? Like, without a hint of irony, I think his best role was in Gangs of New York. Like he feels like the living embodiment of Oscar-bait before that had a name. I like him but a lot of the method-acting stuff he did seemed pretty pointless. He was apparently a huge rear end in a top hat to Liam Neeson on and off the set of Gangs of New York because their characters are enemies in the movie. I doubt he needed to put in that much work to stay in character for the two lines of dialogue they exchange in their single scene together. I agree that Gangs of New York is his best performance though. There Will Be Blood is a close second for me and I think that's because similar to his performance in Gangs he's frequently balancing being goofy and being scary in a way that is really compelling to watch.

I Before E posted:I completely disagree, his work in There Will Be Blood and Phantom Thread is phenomenal and I never got the sense that his method stuff was a gimmick for him, at least not as it translated to the actual on screen work. I really hope if he comes out of retirement that he does something else with PTA. They're a great fit together.

I find images of computer screens - both realistic and Hollywoodized absurdities - fascinating and so am trying to show off the diversity and complexity of these images. Open to suggestions, obviously right now a lot of the pics come from movies with computer-heavy themes because those are the ones I know I’m going to find something but will take recommendations from anything. I have no recommendations but just wanted to say that this rules.

I suppose we all thought that one way or another."

Look I know I said "no joke" but I was in fact joking about liking his own tweets being an actual big deal (but it is definitely super weird) and the original tweet is also clearly saying "huge scandal" in a jokey way. The MRA stuff that Simu Lui has been a part of is obviously the actual bad thing he did that is worth talking about. Flying Zamboni fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Sep 18, 2021 |
