The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain
The (New) World
For the small amount of movies I've seen this year, there's a disturbing trend in movies not being able to tell a satisfying ending. The Crazies, Predators, Iron Man 2 all essentially wrap it up with the idea that there could, should, or will be a sequel. This is unsettling to me.
Don't know if it's been posted here yet, but here's the cover to the Criterion version of The Thin Red Line:
I love how it kind of looks like the binding of a big two page picture in a book.
Out of 4 stars:
The Guest: ***1/2
Furious 7: ***
The Tale of Princess Kaguya: ***
It Follows: ***1/2
You really love it? Because the more I see it, the more I'm convinced that it is retarded.Quoting Sxottlan (view post)
Not a bad concept, though what about that movie conveys "bookness" so much that they had to include it in their design? If anything, it's the least bookish adaptation of a book I've ever seen.
Abysmal execution.
Gotta side with Sven here. Not feeling it.
Coming to America (Landis, 1988) **
The Beach Bum (Korine, 2019) *1/2
Us (Peele, 2019) ***1/2
Fugue (Smoczynska, 2018) ***1/2
Prisoners (Villeneuve, 2013) ***1/2
Shadow (Zhang, 2018) ***
Oslo, August 31st (J. Trier, 2011) ****
Climax (Noé, 2018) **1/2
Fighting With My Family (Merchant, 2019) **
Upstream Color (Carruth, 2013) ***
Exactly.Quoting Sven (view post)
And this too. Why make it off-center? I would've liked it without the binding though.Quoting Sven
I liked the previous shot that we thought was the cover more. This is still nice, but the "binding" sorta hurts the beautiful shot.
I dunno. I guess with a title like that, you need to have a line in there somewhere.Quoting Sven (view post)

But why are they all so calmly walking toward the explosions?Quoting Derek (view post)
The line ruins an otherwise great picture.

Something like this poster could have rocked:

Though, as E said, the original cover shot was definitely nice, though the mood of the film is arguably better achieved in the picture of this new one (what with the evocative sky color and peaceful greens punctuated by the explosions).

You just made me wonder if there's Totoro Rule 34 out there.

Oh, B-Wild. That's your name now. B-Wild. Get used to it. I don't back down on nicknames.

I like this. Probably the most original design I have seen in quite some time. The "binding" is off center because it is perfectly balanced with the photo as it is. I like the idea behind it too - it has nothing to do with books... to me, it speaks of the part of the picture that gets lost in the binding on those two page spreads. No matter how it's printed, there's always a part missing, or hidden inside. I like how the title and the director's name is sinking into the divide, the essential, defining information is in the partially missing area.Quoting Sxottlan (view post)
I have only one complaint and it's the overall low contrast of the photo, a bit forced, probably so they can add the logo and the text on the left in a white overlay.
I also like it.

But it's only the words that get lost. The picture itself remains visibly either unchanged or so minutely changed that it does not matter. And that is an eyesore.Quoting [ETM] (view post)
I hate the cover more and more. I hope this is the last time I feel compelled to comment on it.
I love the cover.
Absolutely beautiful.
Sure why not?

K was hoping that Rhys-Meyers would be carrying the cocaine-filled vase through the whole movie. Though its final scene was definitely worth it. Again, terrific movie.Quoting Rowland (view post)
