I listened to an interview with the director on The Big Picture podcast (worth listening to, he also goes into detail about how they shot the aviation scenes, and boy howdy do I have a lot of respect...

Neither was I. Then again, I'm perfectly content watching Jim Jarmusch and other slow cinema auteurs, so your mileage may vary. I also thought it was kinda funny in a bone dry way. Some interesting...

I could nitpick the script contrivances (setting up an improbable location where drones are inoperable, zero American flyers getting killed in the mission or training -even the first movie, a much...

Felt the same way. I liked it quite a bit, but storywise it seems very much in the wheelhouse of Gladiator and Braveheart. Eggers seems like the kind of guy that would scoff at being compared to Mel...

A bit concerning this is considered a Great Movie in our 21st century dumdum world.

I agree. I think it's better directed than written. I like the look of this and what Reeves is doing in theory, I just wish the detective work was more interesting. Less deciphering clues from the...

Sure, but then Historie(s) du cinema is 266 minutes in total.

No you're right. Google had it at 2:21 for some reason. Bad example, but my initial point still stands. Welles, early Bergman, early Godard, Truffaut, etc. were making films at two hours or less for...

I do think it's interesting how many of those arthouse classics clocked in at less than two hours. Seventh Seal feels like it should be three hours but is at a brisk 1:36. The 400 Blows - 1:38,...

It is, but I didn't get that at all.


EDIT
Best explanation I've read so far

No. Unless I missed some big bit of info there?? What would he die of? Suicide? Even more bleak. No I took it he gifted her the car at the end of his Uncle Vanya run. Probably bought a new car for...

I liked it, but not sure it's the unimpeachable masterpiece some are making it out to be. I was never really bored by it per se, but don't think it necessarily has to be three hours. Some of the...

I rewatched it, and I still can't square the last ten minutes of the movie with certain moments before. There's a nice point when Alana is watching Gary and his teenage entourage pantomime sex with...

First of these I've seen in a theater. What a blast! Truly what the world needs right now.

Oh yeah, that's a snub. I forget how different the world outside of critics, letterboxd, & film twitter are (where PIG is relatively mainstream) compared to the rest of the world -even the film...

Still need to see both of them, but pleasantly surprised by all the Drive My Car love & the screenplay nom for Worst Person in the World. Disappointed (but not surprised) for the love for Don't Look...

Your first mistake is engaging in TikTok. TikTok makes Twitter and Facebook seem like Harold Bloom's Western Literature Canon in comparison. TikTok is also a known front for Chinese data mining.

I'm so confused by who gets cancelled and who doesn't. Armie Hammer seems to be fully cancelled (for now) and dropped by his agents, but Ansel Elgort isn't? Is there some cheat sheet that says why or...

Was Adam McKay created in a lab by the GOP to be the apotheosis of an irritating Hollywood limousine liberal? "If the right people just watch my movie we can stop climate change! Or covid! Or...

See, I like that he's just weirdly passive aggressive (and sometimes aggressive aggressive) rather than full on physically abusing her or whatever. Sometimes that can be worse, since these types...

I get more annoyed that if the genders were reversed, there would be such a moral outrage today, that PTA wouldn't even bother I don't think. Something like Manhattan (17-year-old girl w/...

Surprised there isn't a No Way Home thread up on 2021 movies yet. This just annihilated the box office. Not sure how I feel about that. For an Oscar frontrunner, West Side Story is doing horrible BO....

This is good. Likely very good. But I don't think I'm over the moon about it like everyone else. Part of me is just being a contrarian, but I think my issue is that it feels more like a PTA film than...

He's 84. No fucks given. Going out in a blaze of glory. He should collaborate with the equally cranky boomer auteur Paul Schrader.
