@dig1y @WhiteFunk89 @gloomgaze He didn't! He spent the judge's review complaining that Jamie "cheated" on movie week because he hadn't heard of the film but Simon defended him saying "IT'S A CULT FILM"

this harry hill bit where he describes the plot of gummo (1997) to thunderous applause has fully shattered my grip on reality
English
@WhiteFunk89 @gloomgaze It was movie week on The X Factor and one contestant picked Roy Orbison's "Crying" from Gummo which baffled Louis Walsh

As somebody who saw EWS on 35mm (For the first time!) last I can absolutely say that the 4K version is much closer to what I saw. Particularly in the scene at the bottom I was amazed at just how HUGE the colours were

i'm fucking crying laughing at the seriousness of this post paired with the hallucinatory abomination of a video

@RasberryRazz Saw this for the first time on Saturday on 35mm, when this shot happened I felt like I was levitating

Ridley Scott ending his debut feature with a recreation of a painting of Napoleon having lost everything but with Harvey Keital’s character realizing he lost his entire purpose to live for his own self aggrandizement after losing the last duel is peak cinema.
English
@TrilbeeReviews Doesn't have much explicit connection to the previous at all, opening explains what happened in between weeks and years. You could watch this as a standalone post apocalyptic film if you wanted, different tone to the previous films too. Though rewatching Days is recommended.

@bornposting Disagree, Last of the Timelords IS stupid but it's admirable and charming stupid as opposed to the insufferable stupid of Empire of Death

i've always hated the Jesus Ten shit lmao god. it's so fucking stupid. the entire world literally prays to the doctor. they defeat the master with the power of prayer. i hate RTD's constant jesus allegories w/ the doctor its so annoying

It’s silence when RTD does stuff like this though.

@roryisconfused Saw Mulholland Dr at the Prince Charles in February and the audience was well behaved, laughing at the parts that were meant to humorous (hit man, Billy Ray Cyrus, espresso) were dead silent from Club Silencio onwards.
English
Something’s definitely happening, and it’s a massive drag. There’s this bland, totally disengaged cynicism that the modern internet is only exacerbating; a belief that the only feeling you can get is the blank stimulation of empty ironic pose. I really do hate it.
brecht apologist@madison_tayt
honestly the crowd at angelika for this fucking sucked. i think a lot of you “cinephiles” are actually really baby brained and irony poisoned. (didn’t have high expectations but MY GOD)

After everyone had their say on our little True Romance post the other day. We thought we'd do a one-off DIGITAL REQUEST BOARD! So write your film requests in the comments below, and we'll do our best to get some of them on our screens!

@Caol_MacCormaic For music: 95% of country
For film: A Christmas Story (1983)

@windomgirle @dementedkirby Saw a preview last week. There's a scene where Brody watches what i assume is a 20s porn film which is uncensored but the clips that it shows don't show visible penis, there's also a part in a brothel where you appear to see Brody's penis but it's hard to tell if it's real or not
English
And we STILL don’t have an MPA rating for The Brutalist. I wonder what the holdup is - the scenes I’ve heard about seem like garden variety R-rated stuff. Certainly no worse than anything in, say, The Wolf of Wall Street or Babylon.
English
@JedWagman It's not higher, Brutalist, Megalopolis, Grand Tour and Emilia Perez are in tied 17th place
English
Everyone raving about The Brutalist but Sight and Sound are saying Megalopolis is better…maybe I’ll give it a miss then…

@_LOHI_ Really good but not sure about a certain turn it takes in part 2, but it's the sort of film that'll stick in the mind and will rewatch on its proper release. Loved Vox Lux I should mention
English
What are London people saying about brutalist now that its previewed.
English
@mrpleasantries @LesserFeat @sbodrojan It was Morton who made the comment, specifically calling Morvern Callar a "hobnob" and Aftersun a "digestive" it was more of a jokey comment pointing out its influence and being better rather than an angry complaint
English
English
it’s not talked about nearly as much, but in terms of influencing cultural taste, aesthetics, form, rhetoric - I genuinely believe Lynne Ramsay is up there with like, Lynch and Tarantino as one of the most *important* English language directors alive.
Film Updates@FilmUpdates
Lynne Ramsay’s ‘DIE, MY LOVE’ is described as a portrait of a woman (Jennifer Lawrence) engulfed by love and madness. Robert Pattinson plays her husband, and Lakeith Stanfield, her lover.
English
@LesserFeat @sbodrojan I saw a 35mm screening of Morvern Callar last year with an intro with Ramsey & Samantha Morton where she complained about how Aftersun ripped MC off (love both films though)

just wanted to update people that i've been plugging away at this insane cornucopia of suggestions. i've been selecting albums to listen to at random, giving them scores out of 10 and putting them on this list. here's what i have so far

@ZeroSuitCamus Saw it for the first time a few years back and the only thing I was thinking during the opening forest battle is how LOTR came out a year later and did this kind of stuff so much better

I know I’m definitely a woman bc I don’t understand why men like the movie Gladiator at all it’s kinda boring lol

@dunglebergus @legotrillermoth @bornposting Really? At least in the UK the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book is way more famous than the adaptations (same with other Dahl books)
English
@legotrillermoth @bornposting Yeah. Villeneuve's Dune isn't a remake but Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is
English
Should a movie count as a remake if it’s another adaptation of a book
English
@bornposting 95% of the time no, if it keeps changes and iconography from the previous adaptation yes
