Gonna do the thing SocDems do where they smugly decry "satire that just serves the centrist establishment" but b/c I'm a Communist w/ standards much higher will be way more annoying about it. "You like La Haine? Don't you know that's just petit bourgeois anti 'system' politics?"

when i saw mr. refn outside the theater after the q&a, he not only offered to take a photo with me, he grabbed my phone and took 16 selfies in a row! he then told me: “here, i’ve made you a montage. now you can make a film!” so, here’s that film in 16 glorious frames. enjoy! :)

omg. had such a big sick grin on my face the entire runtime… so sexy and sad and sincerely quite moving by the end. thatcher and melton are both mesmerizing. i got to ask refn a question at the q&a and then he snapped some photos with me after. had a lovely lovely time :’)))

Also everybody saying it's this way because of TikTok is being stupid and just regurgitating something somebody said years ago. The centre framing actually does serve a purpose in an environment like this, the same way it did when Kubrick did it.

See, I wish the movie would have actually played with aspect ratios or something to justify the centre framing more because so much of film nowadays is way too centre-framed and it genuinely does make it seem like it's all designed to be clip farmed for TikTok.

it bugs me that I havent seen anyone mention that you can watch the Backrooms movie in 4:3 and it actually works nothing ever gets put out of frame accidentally, the movie was intentionally shot to work in this aspect ratio and thats really fucking cool

Except they weren't basically space aliens. Humans have always been humans. That's why these ancient myths and legends still resonate with people thousands of years later, because they tap into fundamental aspects of the human condition.

I want an Odyssey adaptation (and an Odyssey translation) that makes you feel in your bones how profoundly different the archaic Greeks were from us. Basically space aliens. Nolan is just fundamentally not interested in that kind of estrangement.

The Odyssey is pretty deeply, wildly flawed and yet so many of the critiques i read on here boil down to “he didn’t make the movie i imagined in my head”

a good half or so of pre modern historians think this way about emotions in the past and the great thing about literature is that it tells you that those people are insane

see I disagree with this. My love for sei shonagons "the pillow book" is rooted in exactly the opposite idea; that a thousand years ago a Japanese lady who I have nothing in common with would also have very significant thoughts on what makes a cat delightful or not

I like Shogun because all good historical dramas should remind you that people from the past were basically from a different planet. Nobody alive today can understand how it’s possible to become so horny for a lady that you offer to cut her head off for her.

This is dishonest but it’s likely because this guy doesn’t have theory of mind for us. We view you guys as both evil and silly little contemptible creatures. These are not contradictory.

This is wrong. Kirk was not a particularly hated figure before he was killed; he was seen by Redditor-types as a goofy meme figure of mockery (see below, from 2023). He was only demonized by lefties *after* he was murdered, to retroactively justify the assassination.

If Kirk wasn't particularly hated, and conservatives understood this fact, why were people screeching about how they were going to start a holy war against the supposedly jubilant leftists 30 minutes after he died?

you can tell he was very hated before he died because every time reactionaries tried to eulogize him as a martyr, ppl rejected it. you had the entire govt and every news org trying to make ppl love this guy but couldn’t even show full clips of him talking without ppl checking out
