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.

That poem they're playing isn't just some cliché slow down remix, that rendition is what they played over and over during American military psychological training. Makes it so much creepier.

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.
>>442271I enjoy that genre as well! Do you have any specific recommendations?

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?

>>442438you're not alone. i despise harmony korine as much as i hate his pedophile buddy larry clark and more popular faggots like darren aronofsky. supposedly half the people who appeared in gummo didn't even get paid or were paid meager amounts. some rich white californian bitch comes in, does poverty porn, exploits them, manages to get "infamous" because of them and moves on. i hate this fat, ugly, privileged retard and everything he stands for. he thinks he's the edgy version of john waters or something, but he hates women too much and is overtly racist. he will not be remembered in movie history.

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.
