@EPoe187 Oh boy. This is the new annoying account. Like the film version of those vinyl curators. Nine great, four arguably masterpieces. How’s it you worked that one out then? You might as well shit in your hands and clap.

David Lynch directed ten films, nine of them great, and four arguably masterpieces. HIs visual imagination was unparalleled and, like Franz Kafka, his sensibility was utterly original.

@cinemamystic1 @licensedfag Translation - my taste is in the toilet.

@licensedfag All of season 2 is good. There is maybe like 1 full bad episode right after the killer dies. Other than that it’s all good to great.

the good outweighs the bad exponentially

@licensedfag Nah. 4 or 5 good episodes out of 22.

@21metgala She’s busted

@hepimp @letterboxd Sad. Scribblings from a visual illiterate. That one comment absolutely clears this review. Smart person, whoever they are.

My ★½ review of Miami Vice on @letterboxd: boxd.it/9nfoHn

"Steven Spielberg is not honest. I hate Spielberg, because none of his movies are honest. He hates Jews, because he is Jewish. He is fascist, because America is the centre of his world. If I can ki!! Spielberg, I will ki!! Spielberg." --- Alejandro Jodorowsky Full Excerpt: "Jodorowsky: I like Buñuel, because he was always honest. If he had limits, then he would make a limited picture. He always shot at his eye-level, he never put a shot up here, because he was limited, and he agreed to be limited. Bunuel is honest. I like pictures that are honest. Like some Hong Kong pictures — those filmmakers are honest thieves, they are making business, and they are so honest about it, it’s fantastic. But, say, Spielberg is not honest. I hate Spielberg, because none of his movies are honest. His violence is ill, it’s not honest. He shows an ill violence, as though he was the father of history. He hates Jews, because he is Jewish. He is making business with that, with Europe. He is fascist, because America is the centre of his world. If I can ki!! Spielberg, I will ki!! Spielberg. (...) Also, I love Cronenberg, because he is an auteur, he has his obsession. I like him. He is honest. There are a lot of moviemakers I like, and there are others I hate. But what I hate the most is Spielberg. And second Walt Disney. Interviewer: Didn’t you used to hate Walt Disney above all others? Jodorowsky: Yes. But now it’s Spielberg. I think Spielberg is the son from when Walt Disney f**ked Minnie Mouse. And then there was Spielberg." ("The Mole Man: Going Underground with Alejandro Jodorowsky", Damien Love, Bright Lights, 2008) In 2013, Jodorowsky said: "I always say Steven Spielberg is a degenerate, because he was the one who started this trend of making cinema a big spectacle and applauding special effects." ("The films I make go beyond entertainment: Jodorowsky", La Razón, 2013) Clip from: Duel (1971) Director: Steven Spielberg

@DannyDrinksWine Walt Disney fucked Minnie Mouse and out slid Spielberg. This is beautiful.

@Manuel31816032 @AdamLehrerSP That’s more of a business thing. I’m also pretty sure Star Wars would have been made regardless.

@GalacticCookie0 @AdamLehrerSP Spielberg pretty much has the modern summer blockbuster concept with Jaws. It's classic, and his films are a masterclass in staging

Jodorowsky is a guy who basically stayed an 18 year old edgelord his whole life, which is why his films cease to be interesting the second you leave undergraduate school. I like El Topo enough but it’s about as deep as watching The Wizard of Oz on silent with Dark Side of the Moon playing over it while tripping on mushrooms. Jodorowsky could never make something 1/100th as enduringly brilliant as Jaws.

@AdamLehrerSP @Soyglop1350 Those films are mostly boring but it’s easier to recognise why they would be worthwhile. Bela Tarr is a canonised ‘serious’ filmmaker. He even made it onto the academy awards in memorial segment. You finish Holy Mountain and it’s mostly what the fuck was that? Closer to drugs.

@GalacticCookie0 @Soyglop1350 I’ve watched most Bela Tarr films and found them to be excellent, so inaccessible and boring movies aren’t really the problem for me. I just find Holy Mountain to be stupid. Great music though.

@AdamLehrerSP @Soyglop1350 I’m no fan of the film but Holy mountain certainly isn’t a crowd pleaser and wasn’t made to be so it’s just completely boring and worthless listening to turds proclaim how much IT SUCKS DUDE. El Topo closer to recognisable genre, so you’re probably going to like that more.

@Soyglop1350 That movie SUCKS, the only one I find interesting at all is El Topo

@capybaroness Sometimes I’m watching a film and thinking about what I’m going to rate it on Letterboxd. For that alone, I don’t like it. Sucks that you need to turn something into a kind of video game for people to become interested in it.

largely responsible for a surge in cinephilia among young people that has almost no historical precedent while also helping raise the profiles of older films that would have otherwise gone forgotten and new films that would otherwise fly under the radar. undeniably good for film.

@AdversusN @nguyenhdi This total and complete idiot blocked me before I could reply but I just wanted to say that Sinners is garbage. Shit film.

@nguyenhdi @GalacticCookie0

It's crazy that back in the 70s, Hollywood produced "The Godfather, Part II", "Chinatown", "The Conversation", "Taxi Driver", etc. & now critics celebrate shite such as "Sinners" & "The Shape of Water".

@menonfilmpod Yes G. Da firm. Dats da the boys ra der bro you know it. I’d never seen the full clip before haha. youtu.be/kt0fF95eztA?si…

@GalacticCookie0 Hold on to your butt. It just gets crazier from there.

@menonfilmpod I watched a new film called Crime 101 a couple of nights after this and although quite different in a lot of ways, Crime 101 was basically just a 2 HOUR 20 MINUTE riff on the Heat formula, the amount of cop film cliches that both films shared was funny to me. Evergreen cliches.

@nguyenhdi Train Dreams was great lol. The Terence Malick Ikea film. And there you have it folks. Subjectivity.

What I mean is that those 70s films are not "artsy" like Bergman or Tarkovsky; they're popular mainstream films that were sophisticated. American cinema now does have great films (like "Train Dreams"), but many popular, critically acclaimed, award-winning films are just shite.

@EPoe187 You missed out Shrek

Godfather II is perhaps the greatest work of popular art in the 20th century. It is dense. It is beautiful. It is tragic. It is Shakespearean. And yet, it is also incredibly entertaining.

Letterbox is the best social media app because it’s 99% finding cool new movies from friends and 1% like a Free Willy Stan gets mad at you
