    Me neither. At this point, Pixar is comfort food, but it's hardly exciting. It's like getting all excited about a hamburger.

    A good hamburger is pretty fucking good. Reasonable to be excited about it IMO.

    Go to Lion's Tap. You'll get excited to get a hamburger.

    I just got back from Five Guys a few hours ago. Now that's an amazing hamburger.
    Sure why not?

    I've heard that their fries are the equivalent of death. At least the burgers are apparently good. But don't forget Big Kahuna Burger - that Hawaiian burger joint. I hear they got some tasty burgers.

    And I approve of the new thread title.

    I despised In the Cut when I saw it in theaters, but I'd like to give it another shot since I generally like Campion.

    In the Cut is half a good movie, half a terrible movie from my memory. Bright Star is all a good movie.

    Bright Star is all a boring movie. So, nyaaaah.

    Seriously though, I don't get the love for that one. I'll take Ruffalo the hard-boiled sleaze and Ryan the writing professor sexpot over Whishaw the twerp and Cornish the Bella anyday. Now, if the movie had revolved around Paul Schneider's delightfully roguish rapscallion, that'd have been something.

    Dreamworks is a McDonalds cheeseburger. Pixar is an In-and-Out double-double. Nick Park is the burger you cook outside during Fourth of July weekend, and the inside is pink, and the outside is charred, and the juices are soaking into the bun, and, with the blistering heat on your skin and the Dos Equis in your hand, you wonder how Heaven could possibly measure up.

    And Curse of the Were-Rabbit is when you eat three double-doubles, feel sick afterwards and realize that one double-double alone hits the spot.

    Isn't Curse of the Were-Rabbit and Chicken Run Dreamworks?

    Replace Nick Park with Miyazaki.
    Sure why not?

    ...I'll consider it.

    And believe me, calling Toy Story 3 an In-and-Out double double is a hell of a compliment.

    Yeah, Ryan's smokin' and her character assured, what's with all the reviews calling her frumpy and her character in some sort of self-crisis?

    Although I guess I can't say the film doesn't give off mixed signals, I felt it myself. And the film is just too soaked in dripping imagery. It's reverie every other second, and it does become somewhat of a slog.

    I don't have a clear idea of your Twilight analogy (that's right, manhood 100% intact!), but if there's anything I love about Campion's films, it's that her female protagonists are so indistinguishable from men - Bright Star included, so I'm not sure you give Cornish's character enough credit, IMO. I agree ItC > BS, though, due to one of them being a bit of a snooore.

    L'argent might be my favorite Bresson so far. All the others of his I feel are on nearly the exact same level of quality, and that quality being "good", but L'argent feels like a "very good" film. Maybe it's the opening/closing door motif. Or the feeling that these people are cogs in the machinery. I don't know. The Trial of Joan of Arc is up next for Bresson viewings.

    I tried to order a 5x5 at In-and-Out once. They wouldn't let me. Assholes. I settled for a 4x4.

    It's like wanting The Incredibles 2 but given Cars 2 instead.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    I don't get Aleksandr Sokurov. I liked Russian Ark for its playfulness and visual splendor, but when it comes to his more conventional features that I've seen--Mother and Son, Father and Son, Alexandra, and now The Sun--I've found them all undramatic, humorlessly portentous bores. With The Sun in particular, I understand what he's doing in taking such an intimate approach to a historical figure (and it's not badly made), but this seems to me a miscalculation, because Emperor Hirohito isn't an interesting character (or rather, the film doesn't make him interesting); he's just a dull guy who happened to be the emperor of Japan, which is apparently the only reason he's worth making a film about.
    Just because...
    The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
    Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
    The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild

    The last book I read was...

    I hate hamburgers. Tasteless, greasy, heavy things. And yes, I've had In and Out and Five Guys and some sit-down burger places because folks always try to convince me that I'm wrong and simply haven't had the right burger yet. But, bleh. Ground beef is just nasty stuff.

    Pixar, on the other hand, is awesomesauce.

    Dreamworks is mostly eh, but The Prince of Egypt and the Nick Park features were excellent.
    ...and the milk's in me.

    So... wrong. Just wrong.

    I made homemade burgers last night as a matter of fact. With potato salad. YUM.

    EDIT: Imma have to wait a week for TS3 as my wife works all weekend and we always see the Pixar films together.
