    One of the moments in a film when I definitely wished I had been in a theater. *That* scene showed that Tarantino still had the ability to create situations that are as outrageous as they are enjoyable. Crowd pleasing in a way that is exciting instead pandering. I wasn't watching, but a friend told me that the Academy Awards showed that scene in one of their clips.
    I'm guessing it was Brad Pitt high as shit. When he said the horse line I died laughing. Still pretty hilarious.

    Where do you guys recommend I start with Yasujiro Ozu's work? He's a filmmaker I've read a lot about but have never seen his films before so I'd like to clear up that blind spot.

    Watched Manhunter for the first time in 20 or so years. To say my taste in film has matured is an understatement.

    Whatever you can get your hands on. I've yet to see a bad Ozu movie.
    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...
    The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain

    Ha. I’ve gained more appreciation for the style. The finale was always awesome, but when you see Lambs when you’re 13 and don’t watch Manhunter until after Hannibal, you expect Hopkins as Lecter, and seeing Brian Cox threw me.

    Anyways, I certainly like it much more these days.

    I started with Late Spring and it felt like a good jumping off point.

    I haven't seen any Ozu since I was a teenager, so take this with a grain of salt, but I remember preferring Late Spring to Tokyo Story.

    Thanks for the recs so far, guys!

    Also I thought about posting my Letterboxd review for Yi Yi in the Battle of the 00s thread given that's where it's being talked about, but I'd rather post it here for discussion purposes:

    Yi Yi is an almost three-hour long Taiwanese epic that follows a family over the span of a year after their grandmother suffers a stroke following a relative's wedding. The incident provokes them all to try and make their lives more fulfilling in different ways. While Magnolia makes real life into a cinematic spectacle through powerful monologues and Biblical parallels, Edward Yang's final film makes it a spectacle just by filming it as it unspectacular, yet equal parts arduous and beautiful at the same time. The travels and experiences of each family member as well as the connections and reconnections they make along the way are photographed with powerful intimacy in gorgeous compositions as if the audience is eavesdropping on them from afar, while the sound design and mixing immerse viewers from scene to scene in its diegetic atmosphere, and the performances are powerful in their naturalism. Yi Yi is a film that provokes nostalgia and wistfulness, proposes thoughtful ideas about how people experience life, and tells sobering truths about mortality and regrets as well as the consequences of one's choices. That said, it's also a poignant reminder about how lovely the act of existence is, and one of the best films I've ever seen.

    Hmmm...I really didn't like The Hateful Eight very much.

    Me neither; so many dialogue-spewing caricatures... SO many!

    The dick sucking stuff was just...wtf level 10,000.

    Many of the individual parts are impressive. The photography is gorgeous, the performances are fantastic all over. But QT is at his most self indulgent and...kinda gross.

    The N word use is just too damn much. Dude, you have a problem.

If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    The third viewing I noticed some more things I didn't catch the other two times. The score and color schemes particularly but also how intense the film mostly is throughout. It really centers on a lot of smaller details that are nailed really well, too.

    Huh I loved The Hateful Eight but I did figure it wasn't one of QT's more well liked movies due to its length and being mostly a slow burn movie.

    Glad I could play my small part in it!

    FWIW Dundee II is too long/slow, lacks the humor of the original, repeats a few too many of the original's beats, and the villain is woefully unthreatening. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
