That looks like the one. Thank you!



"Noiseuse" was the first of his I've seen. These New Wave bastards take me by surprise, always pushing the form and showing new things, reminding me what...

@baby doll

1) Do you remember a discussion here a looooooooong time ago about John Ford's "Fort Apache"? You posted a link to a PDF paper written by some French (I think?) academic. It was mostly...

Did you just throw the patented Stalker rulebook at me? My post was meant to be lighthearted and jokey ... but I hear ya. I'll stop bustin on you (and posting in this thread)

According to ... Letterboxd?

Son, this is a terrible way to rank movies. Stop now before it becomes a habit. No good can come of this.



And a prime example as to why the auteur theory is...

Good recs, but what's your beef with "Roman Holiday"?

Calling it nostalgia is too simple a spin, imo.

This guy cherry picked examples and heavily overstated the serial nature of DS9 to make his argument work.

The original show "looked back" just...

^ Double this.

(GREAT TO SEE YOU RUSS!!! :D)

Small contradiction there, yeah?

Look is crudely drawn, sure, but I dunno if giving her more depth would have necessarily helped, as she serves a specific purpose to the story. Most of the other...

I'm saying Ford's ability to shift from small and large moments goes hand in hand with his ability to juggle tone. He's uses humor as a narrative shortcut, a way to downshift from high tension to low...

Can't say I agree. Roger Ebert made a similar point about tone (citing John Qualen's "yumpin' yimmini" routine as immigrant rancher Lars). I think the movie needs that level of comic relief because...

There's no real way for you to know this. You can only assume, and to do that you'd need to take a cue from like r/movies or social media or boxofficemojo.com, none of which are really instructive of...

I dunno .. I see that bolded part there as a big leap, and as a mistake on your part (and trans', even though I agree with you both).

You're engaging with a weirdly low brow argument and doing it...

Can't rep you again for some reason but this was a great post. (And personally, I wouldn't mind a long winded rant about how postmodernism is the devil. I might even make one myself).

This part...

Hm I dunno.

I think taking "Watchmen" at face value is an reasonable way to approach the work. I think Zach got it fine. He just didn't care about the comic's deeper meanings. The dude makes...

I dunno. I think this shit should be widely available to anyone at anytime, because that's better for everyone. (I mean, libraries, right?)

We shouldn't be required to hoard dead formats just to...

Stu's expression may be a little off, but he's got the right spirit. I think you guys are dunking on him just to dunk.

I have zero attachment to the original "Bebop" (it was cool 20 years ago, but...

Dude. Just fuck off.

lol I understood you just fine



Whether he's actually still at Recall is connected to his identity, and everything he does in the movie is in some way an expression of that identity.

He...

???



Quaid gets the same information we do and rejects it immediately, every time.

Here's the final scene. Dialogue starts around 2:30. He doesn't pause. Arnold's line reading is flat,...

I rewatched the other night and I'm closer to DFA's opinion than yours. It's a fun movie. Insanely violent. Great special effects. But that's about it. It's not particularly clever or sophisticated....

I'll go a little farther and say I like the freshness of the 2 "kids," but disliked everything else. (Bradley Cooper? No.)

Somebody on twitter said this looks like PTA remaking "Almost...

I laughed. It was a pretty good joke.

Loonies, eh?

...

I agree that it's clear about the ending, but disagree "it's possible to read pretty much every detail one way or the other."

For one, the movie doesn't take its premise too seriously. It's...
