I recently watch "The Love Witch" and didn't care for it but did a second viewing and loved it. I read up about it and the director pretty much did everything for the film including making set pieces (she handmade a rug and sewed the costumes herself). It's a really pretty movie with great details, the woman who made it took 6 years to source props and make things. The movie itself is feminist but also shows how women cater to the patriarchy. It drags and could have been shorter but it's funny, cute, and men die. I liked it.

I watched The Mist and it had one of the best endings I've ever seen in a movie, I kinda expected it but fuck it still hit me. I'm not a big fan of King but luckily the movie ending was different than the one in the book and King said that he loved the movie ending and hated himself for not coming up with the idea himself

watched wicked yesterday (part I, wtf), after liking the book and while never seeing or hearing the musical.
it was torture for how long and dumb and cliche it was. the dance scene was legit painful to watch.
i was suprised by how much i liked ariana as glinda, she was really funny, even if her "character development" was fake and shittly written. her ugly boyfriend took me out of the movie. i really liked the costumes and scenery
i fucking hated elphaba. she is a mean insane terrorist bitch in the book, and i love her for it, and i couldn't care less about the meek nerdy outcast in the movie. cynthia has a great voice, but she was done dirty by whoever was responsible for costumes and hair. they really made her as ugly and frumpy as possible, and ok, she is a bitch in rl and had it coming, but she legit stood out for how dull she was. what the fuck was that pointy hat? couldn't they have made something a little more iconic, more edgy? even her fucking wigs were ugly.
the love triangle with a moid in the middle was bullshit, and fuck the fag who wrote the musical for creating it, absolutely fucking disgusting.

Watched Withnail & I recently. I really enjoyed it, especially the relationship between the two main characters. Their trashiness was weirdly endearing, and their relationship made my fujo heart happy. The comedy all landed for me, and the movie was gorgeous. I want to watch a few more movies before the year ends, but I'm happy with this being one of my final films I watched in 2024.

Watched Chocolat and was very impressed. Of the Claire Denis films I've seen, I either tend to love them or hate them. I'm always astonished by how subtly the stories play out, but how gripping they are in some of her best works. Beau Travail was similar, you don't even realize how invested you are, how deep the story is until its over.

I saw Gummo and I fucking hated it. Now I feel crazy for hating it because everyone acts like it's good. I like some Harmony Korine movies but this makes me want to attack him. It was a long, boring, trawl through the mud, showing me over and over again vignettes of random people in a buttfuck town that I can relate to from proximity. I felt nothing towards these people. I felt like all I was being shown for almost 2 hours are piece of shit men taking advantage of women, and piece of shit women taking advantage of children, and everybody abusing cats, and I'm supposed to go wow, this isn't like the other movies. Well done, Harmony. No, but it's still a man's movie. I'm not in awe of Harmony's gentle and empathetic soul, I think he's a shallow edgelord in this movie who is lazily defended by notions of "movies not needing a story or cohesive plot". His self insert as a drunk and heavily abused gay man is pathetic and it was the point in the movie I wanted to truly turn it off. The cat abuse was gratuitous and it's clear it was metaphorical, but it was done shittily. If we start talking about metaphors or loose plots, wait, DID Harmony try and make a movie with a "cohesive plot" but ruined it with his navalgazing not-romanticizing-but-still-romanticizing Chloe Sevigny titty tape gritty VHS shots? Get me another shot of the kid who raped a girl with down syndrome whipping a cat's corpse to death metal. I'd get more stimulation out of watching something from watchpeopledie.com. Jesus Christ. Yeah, let's watch everyone in a disgusting house huff gas. Let's cut that with a little girl talking about how her dad used to rape her, make the film more gritty. And the entire time, you're wondering, what the fuck am I watching this for? What is Harmony even doing? Who gives a fuck? Okay, you're revealing that the world is like this? Who gives a fuck? We know the world is like this. Did you, you fucking moron? You were so busy hamming it up as a fake abused gay man I think you forgot shame. Dude, why the FUCK did this movie get me so heated? Is anybody else feeling this or am I insane?

Just finished watching Vanilla Sky and it's one of the stupidest shit I have seen recently holy fuck. I came across this movie somehow on some "underrated sci fi", read few imdb reviews praising it ("it will blow your mind and you will cry!") and decided to give it a go - holy shit what a mistake. Dumb, boring, shit acting and female characters are very obviously written by scrote because they are so one dimensional and embarrasing…actually no, every character is one dimensional retard. I'll criticize plot and characters in spoiler tags but whoever is interested in watching this shit, I recommend reading spoilers below so you don't waste two hours like I did
So Tom Cruise is some rich spoiled nepo baby leading a rich nepo baby life, being narcisstic and retarded and ruining his father's inherited publishing business or something. He has one best friend whose entire personality is to tell him he loves him and that he is his best friend. He also has a not-girlfriend, Cameron Diaz, who is in love with him and mentions how he fucked her 4 times in one night all the time but to him she is just a friend with benefits. Cameron is obviously unhappy with that but this makes her crazy!! She appears on his party uninvited, what a crazy bitch man!!! Meanwhile his best friend introduces him to manic pixie dream girl Penelope Cruz. It's supposed to be his best friend's date but she is constantly smiling and babbling something in Spanish while prancing around and making fun of Cameron Diaz being sad and desparate- this makes her THE ONE for our main character. She talks like a child btw. Anyways Tom Cruise and Penelope hit it off and his best friend is like "aw shucks man this isn't fair she is my date but oh well you do you, i love you man remember I am your best friend" Then she brings him to her apartment and he looks at her fridge and she has pictures of herself all over her own fridge, very cool. Then she talks some manic pixie girl shit like "what if in next life we get reborn as cats hehe" and Tom Cruise realizes that this is the love of his life. They spend the night watching tv but no sex and Tom Cruise realizes he is a changed man who will now be responsible and work hard. Except there is Cameron Diaz waiting for him in the car. He gets in car with her and she is jealous of Penelope and angey that he is only using her for sex, starts driving faster and reminds him that they had sex 4 times in one night and (i kid you not l, this is the line) she drink his sperm!! and then drives over a bridge in a murder suicide attempt but only she dies while Tom Cruise survives but his face is mangled. Meanwhile while all this is happening the scene jumps to some prison where Tom Cruise already has a mangled face but is wearing a mask and there is a psychiatrist trying to make him admit he murdered someone. Anyways back to the plot, he is now mangled (his face looks really funny) but doesn't feel bad about Cameron or anything, nobody really does, so he goes to find Penelope in some ballet class and she is like "oh there you are long time no see" while smiling and being cute. Then scenea start junping where he is arguing with plastic surgeons, then psychiatrist again, then there is him, his best friend and penelope going clubbing but Tom feels bad about being ugly so he gets shitface drunk and Penelope is like "hehe this toally isnt you hehe" , she leaves him blackout drunk on streets and leaves with his best friend. Movie gets even more retarded at this point, tons of disconnected scenes, where Tom starts mixing up Penelope and Cameron, kills one of them while having sex with them , his psychiatrist is his dad who cant remember his daughters names or some shit, his best friend reminds him he is his best friend. He finally realizes he paid some company to put him in cryogenic sleep because he died for some reason and he has been lucid dreaming this whole time and calls for tech support because lucid dream has gone wrong. Tech support guy appears and explains that Tom Cruise killed himself after Penelope left him in streets to die and went with his best friend. There is a short funeral scene where Penelope enters, does a pouty sad face when she sees his picture and is like "oh well" and leaves while prancing kek. Anyways tech support guy explains he is not actually dead because they froze him and he is lucid dreaming and is now 200 years in the future. He offers him to continue lucid dreaming or wake up, with his face fixed but Penelope is dead so it's future without her oh no. He decides to wake up anyway and Penelope appears one last time and tells him how they are gonna be reborn as cats again. He then jumps off a building because fear of heights was his last fear. He is not reborn as a cat and movie ends. What a piece of shit

>>442205I love that movie! The ending is fantastic. It's a King story, but one that neatly removes the more annoying aspects of his writing, and is better for it.
I watched this movie on a whim a couple of days ago.
I have never wanted to go to a director's house and do his kneecaps in like I did after wasting almost two hours of my life on this.
Even without knowing the previous movie is basically porn, you can sense the sleazy grease oozing from the director. There are some interesting choices (the music and photography are reminiscent of an old-timey movie, the spanish flu setting makes it essentially a period piece covid movie) but instead of fully exploring these ideas, they're basically just set dressing for a very, very predictable crazy girl slasher with an unsympathetic protagonist. The only character I found myself rooting on is the mother, and what could have been an emotional scene with her about halfway into the movie is ruined by the fact that it takes place during a cartoonishly loud thunderstorm.

>>443007I will never understand why pearl is seen as a “
femcel movie” at the same caliber as something like gone girl. Pearl never seemed genuinely unhinged, it was like a shitty Harley Quinn impression or something. I also hate how the director has to shoehorn his porn addiction into everything, like the scene where a sleazy moid shows her some old timey porn and she says she likes it? She should’ve murdered him right then and there tbh.
Maxxxine had the same porn glorification and it made even less sense. She auditions for what you think is going to be a sleazy 80s slasher because they make her show her tits, but then the film is supposed to be some high brow psychological horror with a feminist female director?? Seems like they were trying to justify the sleaziness because muh sex positivity. Ti west sucks and his films are overrated moid garbage. Not surprising at all that Sam levinson produced the x trilogy.

Just finished watching The Polar Express. I remember this movie from my childhood and it left an impression on me where I could never forget about it and always wanted to rewatch it at some point. Well, this belated Christmas I finally did.
It was interesting. I can see why people said it spooked them when they were kids. Lots of liminal spaces, faint music echoing in the background, actual jumpscares, homeless ghost man, the train being dangerous and getting into different accidents from start to finish lmao and so on. The main characters are nameless AFAIK, but the main boy is so sweet and trying his best to believe in Santa, and they really decided to spook him and prank him into it kek. The kid who joined last and sat all alone in his own train car was so adorable as well. The girl was the best though and the nicest sweetest little thing. I really enjoyed their shenanigans. The nerdy kid is straight up autistic, unironically talking about trains and history in detail to fellow kids, kek.
The ending actually made me tear up when the main kid finally believed in Santa, got his own special gift, the sleigh ring, and he said goodbye and thanks to all his friends. So sweet and heart warming.
The soundtrack is awesome actually, well balanced between Christmas classics and some original soundtrack that is super catchy. I also loved the animation style tbh. I miss when CGI looked like this in the 2000s. Realistic with a bit of stylization where you can see that it's animation and not real. Nowadays it either looks indistinguishable from reality, which is impressive but boring, or too stylized it looks uncanny and horrifying. Think modern video games for the former, Pixar recent movies for the latter. The 2000s were peak CGI and no one can convince me otherwise.

Hated Nosferatu, it sucked and was bad, it was just a bunch of memberberries referencing better Dracula/Nosferatu films as an excuse to get every actress's titties out. Everything looked cheap, the cg was obvious, the acting was bad. The film only makes sense if you've seen any other version of Nosferatu first, because the director is too busy gooning to actually tell a coherent story.
The whole thing feels like a vague fan edit of a real, coherent film, or like he's just recreating his favorite moments from better movies, or like he got the idea to make it after watching Coppola's Dracula and The Idol back to back and thought it would be sooo cool to combine them.
>>443337Her face took me completely out of it every time she was on screen. She looks like she's going to pop. I guess she did try, at least? But it was pretty obvious she was just hired to writhe and moan and crawl around and say she's a good girl.

I though Gladiator 2 was alright, it wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. There's so many bad movies being made these days that an alright movie is a breath of fresh air. People just wanted something to complain about and would complain no matter how the movie would turn out. I get that it wasn't historically accurate but what I didn't get in quality I got in quantity and by that I mean more pathetic slut emperors. That's what I came for and that's what I got.

>>442438Kek, I describe Gummo as "the worst movie you'll never want to see again". To be fair, I was prepared because nobody told me it was good, but my friends talked about how it's this bleak movie about these weird people in some depressing backwater town, and that you feel gross after watching it. It was more like a rite of passage to watch it out of curiosity to see how uncomfortable it was. Harmony Korine is such an edgelord. Also I remember people having the picture of the the Bunny Boy on their Myspace profiles, it always felt weird and fetishy to me

Watched Anora with my friend. It was ok. Fun at times but there is not that much to it. There were also too many sex scenes in this movie (I know it's about a sex worker so it's to be expected but there was much more that could have been explored and expanded on). I feel the male characters were more interesting at times than the Anora herself (even though I didn't like them).

>>447491It's about struggling with her shadow and Animus possession. Von Franz was a Swiss psychiatrist who dabbled in alchemy, obviously meant to be Carl Jung. Von Franz irl was a woman who worked with him. Eggers wife is a psychologist.
The fight between Hoult and LDR, she was possessed by Orlok, it wasn't her. Hoult tried to reestablish dominance by having sex with her, especially since she mentioned him being raped by Orlok (emasculated by the Animus). She did and didn't want to have sex with Orlok, logically speaking she didn't, but deep down in her shadow she did. Only by bringing her own shadow to light, she could vanquish the evil. In modern terms: The story is basically about a woman with BPD who wants to self harm by fucking a literal corpse. She gets initially
triggered into it when she's abandoned by her husband. It's only possible to deal with the darkness inside when it's brought to light, but everyone discourages her, drugs her, doesn't believe her etc. Until the only solace, the last resort she has is basically suicide. If Hoult didn't abandon her and got her help for her trauma, none of this would've happened. But nobody wanted to listen.

Idk where to post this, but well RLM kinda reviews movies (albeit Z class movies) and I bet here are some anons who are RLM fans.
This was probably the funniest episode they made in years, I felt like I'm back in 2015. I was sceptical of the guest, but he turned out great. I was uncomfortable with their lack of reflection on the anti porn stuff (like to them it's just "bad religious guy hates porn because it makes people good") but whatever, I don't expect actual social awareness from them, I watched it just for the impressions. Honestly the DeNiro impression at 34:00 and even more so the impression of David Attenborough narrating Arnold Schwarzenegger terrorizing small brazilian village made me laugh so hard I almost pissed myself in my bed (around 1:20:37)
Anyway I find it sad that we will never go back to this era of people making batshit insane straight to vhs/DVD movies about drinking your own urine or elderly fitness.
And just the idea of renting physical movies??? I remember being a small kid and going to local rental stores with my parents. I remember those places, they seem magical now but also fever dream like, like on one shelf there's my little pony cartoons, on another Princess Mononoke, and yet on another, porn. The farther you go, the worse and more bizarre shit you will see and the more angry your parents will get. I was there, I remember the dawn of VHS, I remember when my local shopping mall wanted to get rid of all their vhs tapes fast, so they were making sales and selling each for literally like 5 bucks, even Disney productions, stuff that I could get maybe like 2-3 times per year, maybe for my birthday and christmas. And there I was buying like 20 vhs tapes for literal pennies. Crazy stuff. I'm european so that's just my perspective, I wonder if in America that shift from vhs to DVD was also so rampant, shops literally cutting like 90% of the prices of video tapes just to get rid of them and images of kids with buckets filled with video tapes lmao

>>443463Nonna, I’m so late to this, but yeah. When I first watched it, I absolutely hated it. Dear Lord, that man was pathetic. Yet somehow extremely hot (Fucking Harris man). Over time, though, it has really grown on me. But I still have mixed feelings about it. Initially, I found her attraction to that mumbling moid completely unbelievable. It just made her look like a dirty cheater betraying her husband. His pathetic haircut, the disheveled tie, the constant mumbling. I didn’t get it at first. How could a beautiful, successful woman in such control of her life be attracted to that. But now, I do. He was her opposite: younger, relaxed, not strict, but still dominant in bed. She just wanted to let go sexually. The only area she could not control.
Even so, I thought we were getting a reverse Secretary, and I’m sad because the movie felt tainted by her cheating and hurting her whole family for her sexual escapade. I’ve already seen backlash about the cheating, and honestly, I agree. Also, can not blame people for being ageist or pointing out the age gap, especially since they would do the same if the roles were reversed. If it weren’t for the cheating, I think the movie would have had a completely different reception.
I understand it was trying to highlight sexual repression in women, which I believe is an incredibly interesting POV, but so many people (myself included) can’t look past the infidelity, so the conversation ends right there. Another L for women.
That said, the color palette and Nicole’s acting were excellent. And Harris is so hot and (played that pathetic man very well) not even that haircut can ruin him. Mixed feelings galore kek

Kek I knew it'd be an unpopular sentiment here, but I cried a little when I heard about Lynch dying. Not in the sense that I idolized him or anything but Twin Peaks was very central to my transition into adulthood and watching it led to some really powerful emotional breakthroughs for me when I was a teen. His death kind of triggered my nostalgia and I spent some time reading my diary entries from that time and reliving the catharsis. I can look at his work more critically now but as a teen his work was very important to me as someone who was suffering from stuff I wasn't able to talk about.

>>449265, but for me the creepiness/surreal quality was what made it connect with me. I was groomed and abused and convinced to keep quiet about it and "just move on/forget it" by adults in my life. Being a young
victim of sexual abuse is inherently surreal because you know you're living a different world than your friends and siblings but you don't get to speak up about it or defend yourself because you're a child. The nightmarish-ness of The Black Lodge felt like a visual representation of the awful secrets I was forced to keep as a kid. There's also a lot of guilt, feeling like the abuse was your fault in some way. I liked that Laura had a double life and did a lot of "bad" things, but the show never demonized her. She was a literal cheating coke whore, but the show never treated her as anything other than a
victim, and not because she was weak or pathetic, but because she simply deserved justice. I don't want to ramble too much because TP isn't even a movie lol but hopefully I made some sense. I don't blame you for finding it creepy at all though.

I thought his adaptation of Nosferatu was going to be a lot better, his actual style could have worked

>>449702>BrazilThe set design was good and the whole satire of bureaucracy was an interesting concept until the movie just ???? decided to throw the whole social/political commentary in the trash in favour of focusing entirely on one of the most godawfuly written romantic plots I've seen instead. Frankly gives of the impression that Terry Gillian's corny ass just really really really wanted to make a 1984 rip off because it was basically the year of the book, but then he realized he didn't actually have that much social commentary to make so he had to make shit up and pretend to know what he was doing. Whenever people bring up the studio "trying to censor the movie" to me it just sounds like it might have been him being uptight and not taking criticism.
>Women on the Verge of a Nervous BreakdownI don't know what other people see in it. It felt like watching the male director go "women be crazy amirite?" for 90 minutes.
>Wings of DesireI think this type of New Wave/whatever euro film is not for me. It bored me to death and people's internal monologues pissed me the fuck out because they sounded pretentious as fuck and not realistic at all. Peter Falk was the only person in the whole movie that sounded kinda normal. Bruno Gantz going around and being excited about colours and coffee was finally cute and fun, but then he meets the woman for the first time and she just goes on an in promptu pretentious monologue that last for 5-10 minutes and I just wanted her to shut up. Sorry for being uncultured on this one.
>It's a Wonderful LifeNot really hatred, just confusion at the absolute praise it gets.
Not American, so it doesn't have any cultural significance to me, but I was not expecting the movie to be structured like that. I was expecting the movie to be about the angel going up to him and convincing him not to kill himself, but then it spends at least 2/3 of the run time on the guy's entire life story before actually getting to that? And the guy's backstory doesn't feel compatible with the angel's method at all. The guy spent all of his life having to let go of his dreams/wishes/plans because others kept putting him in situations where he felt/was obliged to stick around to help them, clearly he feels chained down by others. "Oh but look how helpful you were to others" would realistically make him want to kill himself harder.

I have no idea why with one of his arguably biggest and most important projects, he decided to change his style. you’re an auteur, if what you had was working, why deviate so drastically.
I think Nosferatu calls for a darker grimier setting that I went in expecting because its eggers for christs sake, almost got, and was left edged.
Finally revealing his nasty body at the end looks cool but it was the only time I felt even a little bit scared of orlok himself aside from when the kids die. ‘Hey!

you’re entitled to your own opinion obviously lolI’m curious though, did you watch the dub or sub?
I’ve found rewatching a lot of them as an adult in both dubs and subs, the implications and storytelling are much more nuanced when expressed in the japanese language. If you directly compare the dub to the sub, the english versions will completely drop entire storylines that seem too ‘mature’, swapping them out with disney tier dialogue.
A lot of the themes in all of the ghibli films are very adult and very philosophical, not to mention the gorgeous atmosphere and fact artists painted every single frame.

It is pointless, the visuals are not impressive, its in black and white just because that hack Eggers thought he would be able to pass this off as "avant garde" if he did that.

>>449822I can't say I cared for any other aspects of Perfect Blue. The art and animation was nice, but thats all I feel like it had going for it. I wasn't emotionally invested, and I felt like things like the attempted rape scene or the parts with the creepy guy were just trying too hard.

>>450088ayrt and agreed. it's funny how so many fanboys fight tooth and nail that the cg is 'pushing the boundaries of cinema' when there are like 1000 clips of really shitty half-assed cg work because disney rushes their workers to meet deadlines. they've definitely accomplished some cool things in the way of advancing cg, but it gets lazier and lazier every single movie because they blew their load. no one gives a fuck about whatever gen they're pushing right now and it all sucks.

>>450097Even if you saw it, there's literally nothing to see. It's 3+ hours, and around 2.9 hours of it is just them going on about their daily lives, grocery shopping, chatting, working, decorating their home etc. the plot twist is the husband is satan himself and he made his wife conceive of his child to have an heir, and the people who support him are like a cult that worships him or something.

No. 450113
>>450100imo cgi is just a tool and not an inherent problem, what is though is that many directors are completely unsuited to or uninterested in using it– aside from the shitty treatment of vfx studios (and too many being used per film, with poor communication between them), one of the MCU's major problems is that the films are often helmed by directors who don't really know much about cgi or managing it, so they fail to give good guidance or are prone to saying a shot is good enough despite obvious lighting/compositing errors etc because they just want to focus on the parts of directing they do care for and have experience in. Same thing goes for practical effects, some directors are great with them and very hands-on, while others just leave it to the peons to sort out kek.
Biggest problem is still likely the rushed studios and poor communication though (part of why stuff from the 2000s seems so much better, realistic or stylised, is because a much smaller group of studios and creators would work on a single film for far longer– cgi has so many moving parts you can't expect to pump something good and natural looking out every year or two with no shared assets between them), not to mention cgi being expected and no longer needing to 'prove' or 'justify' itself to the audience and critics like it used to.

>>449837ayrt, I thought the book was okay as far as generic horror goes. The prose is passable, Wendy has a personality beyond just being a "hysterical woman" like in the film, there is a genuine feeling of suspension and mystery, and there is a very neatly laid twist at the end (which the film removed completely). It also deals with some non-superficial themes, like what makes us stay with
abusive loved ones despite several warning signs etc. It's not super deep as a novel, but in it's own genre it's pretty okay. Kubrick has the tendency to convert otherwise good novels into generic moidslop 3edgy5u movies, so I'm not surprised he ruined one of the few actually quite decent Stephen King novels too.

>>451242For the sake of overexplaining, the case in the movie was a real cold case in SK, arguably the most infamous one in their history (and the killer was found somewhat recently) and they were so brutal to the
victims. I guess it's a little like being turned off from "cold case/true crime content creators" sensationalizing or milking real tragedies for money, not to say that's the same as this movie. I think the movie is a great film but I can't help but think about the
victims at the end of the day and how crude the crimes were and then how they were depicted on a big screen. iirc the movie didn't hamfist showcasing the aftermath of the
victims but it still made me feel conflicted, just thinking about how cold and scared all the women would have been. I don't have a conclusion or anything but it does leave me contemplating…

I rewatched Whiplash for the 5th time tonight, and it's as great as ever. This movie means the world to me because I am literally Neiman. I know this distorts the narrative for me and I understand that. I should rewatch it when I'm fixed or something. The characters are amazing and I think Tellers' character portrays how the need to shine perfectly; the readiness to sacrifice it all, not caring what comes of it and how many people you'll lose. It's worth it to him, to me. He was born for this and it could never feel wrong to him. My favorite scene is the dinner table scene where you can see him 'peak' and rebel against his weak, passive father. I bet he blames his father for never making anything of him. Neiman feels robbed of his own success by his father. I think he wished Fletcher could've been his father but I'm just projecting. The soundtrack is in my rotation and the screenwriting is out of this world. Fletcher always hits the right spots. His insults are stuck in my head and they still make me laugh every time. I've never belonged to anything as much as I've belonged to this film.

Saw Manic (2001) today. Hated Joseph Gordon's character so much but I guess that was the point. Dr. Monroe was my favorite character by far, so many of his lines are glossed over yet carry so much. I saw a lot of myself in Tracy and really liked her friendship with Sarah. Didn't like Tracy's relationship with Lyle but it made sense - she has self esteem issues. MC was hard to sympathize with and looked like a Dagestani UFC fighter, the entire movie is him learning he can't punch his way out of his problems. He sees his abusive in Mike and himself so he cuts and gets into fights. Zooey plays Tracy and she really is a qt but I feel she was only cast to play the scared innocent baby deer that pensively gazes at MC. Should've lezzed out with Sarah. 6/10

Crash is one of my favourite movies because any other moid director would just make it a shitty glorified porno (like X) and act like they were soo shocking and subversive for having lesbian sex scenes.

I can't believe The Fifth Element used to be my favorite movie of all time. I must have watched it 100+ times as a child, I fell completely in love with the world, soundtrack, SFX and visuals, I thought the fashion in that world was so cool and even liked Leeloo's obvious fetishy costume (I was a child so I didn't know). But when the sex scenes came on, I got very uncomfortable. Obviously, since I was a kid.
I watched the movie again a few times as a teenager and young adult, and it was as good as I remembered. But as soon as I learned about the pedo director and his relationship with Milla, I started to like it less and less (thanks to LCF lol). It was the pedowood thread on /ot/ that helped me open my eyes. I can't enjoy the main relationship anymore, no way. It's a real shame, because otherwise this could've been a very unique movie.

this is awful, how did it make it to #1 at the box office? the other 2 weren't great cinema but at least fun popcorn movies, this sucked, it's more of a Robotnik movie than a Sonic one. Robotniks jokes were also all unfunny and terrible. Why is there so much praise and good interviews for this crap? The pacing and script were atrocious.

Not just lolcows grudge against him, but I genuinely think jim carreys acting was awful. He probably got the most screentime but i couldn't help but cringe everytime Gerald and Ivo appeared. Or notice that they practically used the same accent and had the same mannerisms despite being two different characters. I felt secondhand embarrassment witnessing Ivo sound like a terminally online gamer bro saying things like "hatewatched" and "damn you autocorrect"

Just saw nosferatu, gorgeous sets and shots but the story was confusing and weird to me (as someone who hasn't seen nosferatu). Plenty of gross scenes, but it's horror so. Eggers is so hit or miss imo, I LOVE the witch but hated the absolute mess the Northman was. This one is kind of in the middle.
At first I was upset about the sexual shit because the movie really doesn't explain it clearly. Like it seemed like innocent Ellen had to accept fucking the evil ugly rotting vampire to save everyone in the end, like what the fuck is that kind of message sending?!
But reading more about it, she wasn't a normal human but someone who was abnormally lustful and horny with/from supernatural powers. She calls nosferatu her "shame" because her very strong sexual desire for him IS her shame. I really feel like the movie failed to portray her as a conflicted temptress rather than just "an innocent victim". And I thought nosferatu was there at the end (and during the whole movie) to fuck her, but he isn't - HE just wants to suck her blood, THAT's his desire, not the sex, that's from HER. So the point is that they both have this fucked up mutual "desire" for each other. But she's not actually evil like him so she uses it to save everyone through her sacrifice and nosferatu's death. In retrospect that makes so much more sense, like even in the beginning her wish is for the honeymoon to have been longer and for her husband to stay for longer - that's meant to hint at that lustfulness. The way she starts to intensely kiss him in their friends house the second they're alone out of the blue is also hinting at it. In her dreams about Nosferatu she was always happy and enjoying it. It's just the shit "reveal" of it that failed so nothing made sense. Saw some other anons saying LRD is bad at acting so maybe it was just her failing at portraying it? I've never seen her in anything else before so idk if it's her or how it was all framed.
That other guy fucking his wife's dead corpse was gross though. Like what the fuck. I'm glad they didn't show it actually happening but just the fact that they included that shot where you could see him dead between her spread legs was so gross, what the fuck did it add to the story that he did that just before dying? They should just have made him die crying at her corpse.

>>455080At first Taxi Driver was just a good movie for me. Beautiful shots, wonderful soundtrack and acting. Decided to rewatch some of Its scenes on youtube shortfly after seeing the movie. Maybe It was because of some specific events in my life, but that dreadful feeling of rotting away spoke to me and I wasn’t even living through a bad period in life. Ended up being one of my favorite movies.
I wonder if there is a movie about a lunatic female character more akin to Travis Bickle somewhere. Some of us are edgy retards wanting edgy retarded woman representation.
Loved Goodfellas and The King of Comedy too, but I had to stop every 14 minutes because of Rupert Pupkin being himself.

Personally I didn't like Nos and I think it's one of Eggers' worst movies up there with Northman, and I'm sick and tired of wooden nepo baby in a bad wig LRD playing a hypersexual seductress character. Her spastic acting was also bad in my opinion, and unintentionally funny. I will never forgive her for being in The Idol, her career is tainted in my eyes.

>>455240I personally have no idea, but going by your interpretation maybe ATJ and his lust for his non-binary wife (they fuck like bunnies, three kids, etc.) is some kind of mirror for LRD and her lust for Los feratu. Except that he loses everything and dies because he doesn't want to fuck her, doesn't listen to her, thinks she's annoying and kicks her out of his house - a.k.a. denies her sexuality or independence as a sexually liberated and sexually embodied woman or some shit.
On topic I swear every interpretation I've seen of this movie makes me hate it.
>LRD can never escape the man who diddled her a kid and must submit herself to her abuser and die to redeem herself of her "shame" which was to be raped by him>LRD was a horny teen who invited Los feratu into her life and enjoyed the mind controlled orgasms he gave her until she saw his face, and her "shame" is enjoying being fucked by an ugly decrepit corpse, so much that she shames her husband sexually for not measuring up (the ugly old man psyop) >The movie is just a pornified Dracula themed cuck humiliation ritual underlined by LRD's pathetic husband being raped by the bull, being shamed for it by his wife who was also fucked by the bull, trying to reclaim her with his cock in front of Los feratu who is "watching" according to her and still failing to assert his manhood when his wife tricks him to go down nasty with Los feratu and dieDracula is 1000 times better than this, and that's not saying much.

>>455256>a.k.a. denies her sexuality or independence as a sexually liberated and sexually embodied woman or some shit. Imo that seems to far fetched even compared to everything else. It's like they wanted it to be SOMETHING there but they didn't know either and hoped it would just create discussions while they pretend it had some deep meaning, but they know it didn't.
Reacting to your greenlines too
>LRD can never escape the man who diddled her a kid and must submit herself to her abuser and die to redeem herself of her "shame" which was to be raped by himBut that straight up didn't happen, we could all see she was an adult when they "met" and that was implied to not even be in person and just through dreams until then. And for all the other shit that happened, Orlok literally needing consent from her WAS a big plot point.
>LRD was a horny teen who invited Los feratu into her life and enjoyed the mind controlled orgasms he gave her until she saw his face, and her "shame" is enjoying being fucked by an ugly decrepit corpse, so much that she shames her husband sexually for not measuring up (the ugly old man psyop)Kind of right, except again she looked to be exactly the same adult age when it happened so possibly not even a teen. And the shame was her own sexual desire, not related to Orlok being an uggo freak even though he was part of it.
>The movie is just a pornified Dracula themed cuck humiliation ritual underlined by LRD's pathetic husband being raped by the bull, being shamed for it by his wife who was also fucked by the bull, trying to reclaim her with his cock in front of Los feratu who is "watching" according to her and still failing to assert his manhood when his wife tricks him to go down nasty with Los feratu and dieThat's so wild idek how to react to it lmao I think at the very least this is not at all even close the what they were going for
In the end I'm just happy there's a new creepy gross vampire movie, because despite it being confusing at least there are no sparkly lame vampires ruining the vampire image again.

I watched Earth Girls are Easy last night, and I was surprised how much I ended up liking it! I loved the kitschy over the top 80s aesthetic, the songs were pretty catchy, and the humor was pretty witty. There was a surreal quality to the movie (plot aside) with Valerie's dream sequence in particular feeling like a cross between the Twilight Zone and a corny B-movie they might riff on on Mystery Science Theater 3000. I find it interesting that this was meant to be Julie Brown's big feature but instead she ended up being the sidekick (although she was thoroughly entertaining every time she showed up). Not surprised to find out it was hell behind the scenes since the ending felt half assed and some scenes felt a bit incomplete, but overall it was a fun watch. If you like Death Becomes Her and/or She-Devil I'd say this one's worth giving a shot

Not to jump on the Nosferatu hate train, but I saw it a few days ago and also hated it. Here are some of my thoughts
I kept waiting for Nosferatu to become young and sexy, like he does in other Dracula movies when he gets to England. I expected that since I kept hearing about a "full frontal" scene, I thought it was going to be hot… it wasn't. Why are bitches getting so horny for this literal rotting corpse version of Dr Eggman. Even Pennywise is somehow more fuckable to me. I wouldn't care about that if this movie was just supposed to be horror but it's categorized as "erotic suspense" or whatever. And not to sound like a zoomer but how was Nosferatu soooo downbad for LRD and her infinihead that he forgot after however many hundred years that he has to be in bed before sunrise? I guess he just really needed to bust a 500 year old nut that bad.
This movie was also just too gross for me. Too many drooling/foaming at the mouth scenes. Way too much like the exorcist at some points. I know that comes with horror a certain amount, but I felt like there was way too much of it. I'm not a huge horror fan in general but I do love Dracula. I really wish there had been more of the gypsies. I also loved Willem Dafoe in this movie, he was probably the highlight for me (also the cats).
This movie is just making me think of Bram Stoker's Dracula and how much more I like it, although it's been my favorite movie since I was a teenager, so I'm biased. If I saw it now I might not feel the same way. I was also completely in love with Gary Oldman back then. The thing is, I've seen tons and tons of people say how bad BSD is, usually saying that it's sexist in how it portrays Mina and Lucy. Okay fair enough. But I'm willing to bet those same exact people probably think Nosferatu was an amazing movie, and in my opinion it's just as misogynist if not moreso. Although I do think casting Nicholas Hoult as Jonathan- oops, Thomas, is much better casting than Keanu Reeves.

>>454923Eyes wide shut. I don't see all the hype with the conspiritards and just felt like it was two and a half hours of Kubrick jerking himself, but I really liked the chemistry between crazy couch jumper cruise and Nicole Kidman (considering they were married and later divorcing during filming), cinematography, music, but the pacing and some of the script just fell flat. I can see why it turned out the way it did, the movie took way too long to make. Conspiritards are literally obsessed with this movie and its symbolism and claiming how it "exposes" Hollywood but that's not really how i interpreted it either.
Film bros and conspiritards keep saying the more you watch it the more you'll absorb the symbolism, but watching it once was enough,. I'll just watch some analysis videos on it instead. Kind of a waste of my time.

>>454545Yeah the nudity is the worst of lynch's films. I think that the rabbits are supposed to be a meta type of thing as it's so detached from the loop of different nikkies with their surroundings. The plot of the polish ghost would have developed better if it included some deleted scenes where he sells magic watches to wannabe actresses, or where nikki is watching herself and the other nikki sees her as the polish ghost. I think that at the first watch you feel so overwhelmed by the conversations, switchs of realities and povs that after a second watch you start to connect the dots better and make your own theory of what the hell is going on.
>>454706Also the evil men almost always get punished and the commentary about how predatory Hollywood is surely can't be ignored.
>>454715You have to put a context too around Fire Walk With Me. It was 1992. Nobody from Hollywood was making movies about incest
victims with such a deep characterization (because Laura Palmer wasn't the perfect
victim but wasn't punished for that either) and with an ending that was beyond the death of Laura with the angel scene. Idk anon, if you watched the movie, don't you find it powerful how Laura's spiritual struggle due to the abuse ends on a hopeful note with her soul being liberated from all the pain and evilness? even if you are not spiritual, is an image of overcoming the trauma.

movies I've watched in January:
>Grey Gardens
I see why this documentary is held in such high regards. Pretty haunting, strangely beautiful. I see how the directors became lost in the house and their personalities, interesting to think of all the hours of footage they didn't use.
>Streetwise
Heartbreaking, I feel pretty awful for Erin Blackwell especially. Lulu Couch seemed like such a wonderful person as well, its so tragic that she was murdered at such a young age. Everything in this movie just makes me hate old men, they're a plague.
>Zero Day
Pretty interesting. I'm not typically a fan of found footage, but this was enjoyable. For amateur actors, they did a great job.
>Nosferatu(1922)/Nosferatu (2024)
The Looney Tunes ass scene of Nosferatu going around the city with his casket were better than anything from Eggers shit remake.
>The Great Happiness Space
Another depressing documentary. Completely bleak all the way around, that awful cycle of misery and exploitation.
>SLC Punk
Extremely fun. I love Matthew Lillard, and he was fantastic as a poser. Just fun, creative, weird. The scene with the European guy and the gun was amazing, just suffocating in a unique way.
>Two Days, One Night
Watched thanks to the recommendation of a nonna on here. Loved it. Reminded me a lot of my own childhood and witnessing the struggles of my mother, gave me a good cry.
>The Vourdalak
The vampire muppet with a musket was incredible. I love weird little artsy films like this, they're always unique and such a fun time.
>Black Metal Veins
I didn't realize this was a Lucifer Valentine movie before I started watching, so I didn't take much of it at face value. I've had friends similar to the people in this film, and it made me think how easy it could've been to fall into a similar lifestyle.

Just watched Flow. I was expecting something like Moana from the visuals, but it's more like Wall-E's first few minutes in terms of mood. Ambience and art work is stellar, animations do feel unpolished for some part but it's excusable. I was really impressed by how faithfully the animals act like their real counterparts instead of the classic Pixar humanization most movies go for. Absolutely loved it, it's like if The Wild Robot and Ico had a bastard child.

I know it's a stupid thing to say about a horror movie, but in my mind no story is truly over unless there's a "happy" ending. Thomas being heartbroken that the wife he desperately tried to save died isn't a happy ending. The random people and freaks we saw in the town not dying of the vampire plague when we had no connection to them wasn't big enough to feel meaningful to me. Count Orlok being defeated in of itself didn't really mean anything when Ellen had to sacrifice herself - it wasn't a worthy trade off. I guess when I say "happy" I really mean satisfactory, but that usually comes with some level of "happy". For me when a story ends in a sad way it feels like we're stuck in the middle of the story, at the "darkest before dawn" point and we never get to see the "true" ending.
And as a side note, did anyone else think "just hide in the fucking church already???" the whole ass movie? Like why do you bring up that he can't reach you on holy grounds and Thomas conveniently just forgets that…? And I also don't get why just destroying Orlok's grave didn't work to begin with? He'd have no grave to return to so he should die? Or would that then not stop the plague or whatever? I feel like I missed something because those seem like glaring plot holes.

This movie was so fucking cool. I absolutely love fast paced gorey japanese movies. IMO, Slashers are too slow and the effects are often reserved for small portions of the movies, whereas japanese gore films are truly an special effects spectacle. I am dissapointed there isnt a sequel, i ended up being super invested in the world-building.

>>458092my God. I know that's what the movie was trying to say. As I said in my original post
>fucking sick of libfem directors that thinks pandering to the male gaze as a form of critiquing an industry that panders to the male gaze is an artistic stroke of genius. I just don't agree that using that exact commodification of women does anything but adds another film to the mountain of films that commodify women. and I'm allowed to think the movie is shit because of those choices. maybe next time you should explain why you liked x in a movie, instead of acknowledging that x exists but 'that's the point!!'

>>458099samefag and review. maybe spoilers?
she still conveys all of the messages clearly but sometimes the overall scenes seem too porny considering the visceral-ness of what will come next.
as a woman, i felt ill during the off-camera rape scenes, they're filmed to show the reality of what is happening without romanticising it.
however, even without searching online, i know that the scenes from this movie+the substance are posted on porn sites regularly. that's not to say that men won't sexualise literally anything, but we don't need our protags to be in barely any clothes and airheaded until she has to defend herself.
overall it is very clear a woman directed this film and as a rape-revenge trope movie it stands out significantly against others in the genre, it is definitely refreshing. sometimes i just can't help but raise my eyebrows in a lot of modern films directed by women whenever it leans on scrote-y imagery, but that's just me. there is a tasteful way to do female nudity, and fargeat isn't doing it like a moid would, but sometimes it does feel pandery.

>>458600tbh i don't mind them leaning into the hybrid dino thing, since that was always was JP was. they were never meant to be the actual species recreated. i love seeing realistic dinos CGI'd into JP though.
however, shit like this is unforgivable to me. the indoraptor's teeth make no goddamn sense. it's not a crocodile, where its teeth are specifically designed to not dry out + it goes in the water enough to keep them clean. why are its teeth OUTSIDE its jaw. it's a total biological disaster. it just has its teeth showing because it "looks scary" but it takes me out of it. kinda like the absurdly giant oversized mosasaurus. also, the way the indoraptor acts like a fucking horror movie monster more than an actual animal is annoying. that's a problem with a lot of the JW dinos. they aren't creatures exploring or looking for food and causing death and destruction by that point, they actively put themselves in harm's way to "be scary". like the fucking baryonyx going through lava just to bite at the people? huh?
i saw one of the JWs with a friend (the most recent one i think idk they blur together) and she was asking me if the pyroraptor "actually did that" (aka dove under FREEZING WATER to chase people and jump back up) … i was like no. there's no evidence of any dromaeosaur ever being able to swim, and even if they were decent swimmers like t-rex has been proven to be, they wouldn't be diving into the water and popping back up like a damn penguin just to hunt. that's stupid. ofc i didn't say it like that to her, she isn't into dinos like me, but tl;dr i hate how the JW dinos act more than their designs.

No. 459461
>>458790yeah, prehistoric planet is so peak. i think i would be less annoyed at JW if the dinos didn't act so retarded because like i said i can handle all kinds of wild designs, and i love speculative paleo art, and the JP dinos again aren't mean to be fully dinosaurs. they're genetic mutants. but i just can't get over the dinosaurs acting in completely counterproductive ways. they are still animals. they're not TRYING to scare people (except in some obvious scenes like the dilophosaurus threat displaying at nedry or the stegos defending their baby etc)… like, compare rexy breaking out of her paddock to everything the indoraptor does. the indoraptor creeps around and quite literally acts like the xenomorph in alien. that scene where it's in the bedroom stalking the little girl is SO cringe. meanwhile, rexy is simply curious. she looks around and experiments with these new things in her environment. nothing she does is extraneous or "suspenseful" aside from the pure terror of being at the mercy of this magnificent apex predator that could kill you in a heartbeat simply by accident. just one little bite to see if you're food, like a shark. that's the real problem with every movie from JP3 to the JW series in my opinion. and god fucking dammit don't get me started on how hard they anthropomorphized the raptors and turned blue into little more than toothless from HTTYD.
>>459452it's very likely that dinos had rumbly and airy sounds more than deep roars, it's fucking cool. go check out a video of a cassowary doing territorial rumbling. be sure to wear headphones. just imagine that magnified and feeling it shaking your entire body.

I watched Les chambres rouges. I thought I was in for an horror movie (I have no clue why anyone is claiming it's one) but it is a courtroom drama/psychological "thriller".
I liked it. The performances of tbe actors were great and I liked the ambiguity of the main character until the end. I might have enjoyed it more if I wasn't waiting for the horror elements until the credits started rolling.

I just watched a movie from 2013 called Austenland. The premise is a woman who is obsessed with Jane Austen's books and the movie adaptations (she has a cardboad cutout of Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy in her apartment) decides to go on vacation to England to "Austenland," a roleplaying adventure for Austen geeks. Everyone who goes gets a romance storyline, they ride horses, rent costumes and the like.
I thought it was going to be lame but it was genuinely so cute and Jennifer Coolidge really stood out as the comedic relief. I don't usually like romantic comedies but I think I'll probably watch this again, it was a refreshing light way to enjoy a Sunday morning. That being said I'd be slightly embarrassed recommending it to anyone in person, maybe it's a guilty pleasure.

Watched the new Bridget Jones movie. I didn't even know they were making it, then saw a commercial for it- didn't even read the synopsis. I liked the previous ones because I think they're cute romcoms so I was excited to see it. It was depressing, in a bittersweet way. I wasn't prepared for it.
