yeah nothing wrong with Nebraska’s posts or with goofing on him imo. it’s funny. mf just loves to kick back and watch films about boobs that are cold blooded killers. it rules.

really enjoyed this, despite it feeling slightly uneven as the conclusion seemed rushed and the cinematography gets soft as the longer it plays.

still, the beginning is so tightly written, edited and directed it's a masterclass unto itself.

[may be rude]

ok i watched tenet again to try to understand it and... i kind of wish nolan sat on it for a year at least and did some rewrites. it's kind of a mess. it was a cool attempt but i don't think he gets away with making it so dense and difficult to follow, because there are so many logical issues.

I watched this film over the weekend, it's a Danish dark comedy featuring Mads Mikkleson. 8.5/10 The twist is very worth the wait.

Some recent notable things:
Barton Fink (1990) - So good. One of their best. Definitely going on a Coen Bros. bender this week.

Zappa (2020) - Well done documentary, recommended even for those who are not fans of his music.

Son of Saul (2015) - Horrific and visceral descent into a concentration camp, but in a respectful way, I felt.

Citizen Kane (1941) - I wasn't blown away but can definitely see the appeal. Ready to dive into the world of Orson Welles now.

Mank (2020) - Brutally boring. Dogshit script, imo.

love Barton!

Stand out Orson flicks for me are Touch of Evil and F is for Fake. Also really loved the Netflix docu they did called 'They'll Love Me When I'm Dead.'

Pusher (1996)

intense

Tenet - absolutely unintelligible without subtitles on, fucking Nolan. Another James Bond film with an X-Files plot.

The Christmas Chronicles 1&2 - bit of a family night so we watched both. Kurt Russell was way funnier in the first one, being his trademark asshole 80s self. Part 2 was tons of green screen & CG due to COVID, but it’s nice to see Kurt & Goldie together again onscreen.

Holidate - this is what Chris Columbus has been reduced to, similar to Zemeckis; crappy streaming movies. Some funny R-rated jokes, but we were rolling our eyes almost as much as Emma Roberts.

Godmothered - the last holiday film, thankfully. Basically Elf with a female lead, really bad.

The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone - I pretty much just wanted to see how Coppola changed the ending, Michael doesn’t do the lameass play dead falling off a chair, instead holding a photo of his daughter and sobbing. (the “death” of his soul) wa wa waaaa

Night Eats The World 6/10  A very poor zombie film in which fuck all happens.

Showing someone playing the drums is not character development.

I was watching Winnie the Pooh (the one from 1977) and holy... Pooh is thicc.

Anyone watched this?

Holy shit, this ruled so hard. Orson Welles parading around a foggy Paris like a chubby Zorro, looking phenomenal. Very unique editing style.

[dr lopez]

Haven't seen it, but looks good.
From the makers of The Secret of Kells (2009) and Song of the Sea (2014).

Funny that Barton Fink and this are mentioned together. The use of fire in both is so similar. Linked by Mr Turturro.

Read two lines of the plot line, saw it was a documentary and immediately queued it up on Netflix.

^^^ will be curious what you think 

 

original coming to america is one of my favorite comedies so extremely excited to watch this

also: soul glo still in production with the same ad campaign after 32 years is pretty impressive for a hair product.
