GODDAMN MASTERPIECE
The Last Jedi


[power gap]


Various films ranging from ok to good
Brick
Looper

I find the entire premise that a rich guy would be so empathetic towards his nurse that he would slit his own throat to cover up for her to be the biggest mystery of it all. I also find it very...

I wonder if this plays better as an immersive theatrical experience? The takes on it seem to be as divided as Joker. Mike D'angelo fucking hated it and destroyed it in his review. He also...

If I'm being honest and not clouded w/ my own nostalgia for Return of the Jedi -which was the first Star Wars I saw in the theater and one of the first movies period I even remember watching- I would...

I watched it again. It's still fucking great. Best one since the og. trilogy and it's not even close (and yes I'm including the stand alone "prequels" or whatever we are calling them). Most of the...

I'd watch a NC-17 Blue is the Warmest Color / 007 crossover.

Sounds great!

There's some problems with that scene but some things I really like about it ...

1) fights in real life are never how they play out in the movies; they are awkward, kicks don't connect, people...

It's good but mighty overrated. Throw it on a pile with Booksmart and Jojo Rabbit for 2k19 movies whose praise I do not get (although even Jojo Rabbit is mixed among critics; audiences seem to love...

1. Under the Silver Lake
2. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
3. Glass
4. Toy Story 4
5. Us
6. The Lighthouse
7. Midsommar
8. The Beach Bum
9. Ad Astra
10. Her Smell

I agree. I think it's his best performance to date, which means the Academy will ignore it and give him another award when he makes Jeremiah Johnson 2049.

I watched it again too. It is pretty great. I'm too much of a contrarian to be like FILM OF THE YEAR but I can see why some feel that way. I enjoy that it deliberately subverts crime and gangsta shit...

My old friend Ari Aster is having a mutual love fest with Scorsese and I'm jealous frankly. I want Scorsese to name drop me in the New York Times as TruCinema™.

I wasn't only directing my complaint to you, but the overall whinefest from Marvel fanboys that their billion dollar box office, beloved imdb top 100 film, 4.0 on letterboxd, might DARE be "meh, it's...

Frank having a "WHERE'S JIMMY HOFFA? DIAL 1-800 ... " bumper sticker on his car is a nice touch. Made me lulz.

I didn't get the court scene when he is "shot" (or whatever was going on there)? The guy shot him with a bb gun for some reason? Or was it a real gun that misfired? Why? Who was that guy? I take it...

You really see this if you rewatch it. Yet another reason why Schoonmaker's editing is *chef's kiss*. It starts with the beatdown at the corner store which Scorsese frames in a wide, single take shot...

Goddamn, why are Marvel fans such snowflakes? A 77-year-old filmmaker isn't into superhero movies. Who cares? Scorsese was 21-years-old when Avengers #1 came out in 1963. He doesn't have any...

I found it pretty fascinating and soul draining depressing. Scorsese sucks any of the "cool" out of the gangster life. Hits aren't sexy, just people running up and blamblam it's over. The most...

But he doesn't? That scene is JPL blathering on and on like a college professor. It probably doesn't help that I think Mao Ze Dung was a piece of shit who killed tens of millions of his own people,...

I would strongly argue that, yes, Sergio Leone or Peter Yates is inherently more cinematic than Godard or Rohmer (esp. the La Chinoise + Le Gai Savoir era Godard which are extremely didactic by...

Except OUATIH doesn't really feel like anything out of 2019. The cranes and dollies feel very much (appropriately) like Sergio Leone plopped down in 1969 Hollywood. Pulp Fiction has fine direction,...

Rewatched this for the third time. Still really great. QT's direction is so effortlessly confident here. The camera is so graceful darting in and out and popping up on cranes and such. I know this...

I believe you can be a failure of a system that doesn't take care of you and you can be a homicidal maniac. These two things aren't mutually exclusive.
