Movie Meets

“You down with OPP?” “Nah, just Down by Law”

@DelRaz09 Tesis! Nice. Spaniards love that flick.

@Rob197711 Is it worth it for the Scheider… I think I’ll just rewatch Sorcerer.

@MovieMeets Approx 27% gayness

A sobering, brutally honest look behind the razzle-dazzle curtain of creative obsession, All That Jazz (1979) is an exhilarating autobiography from/about the visionary that is Bob Fosse. It looks impeccable and as Fosse’s avatar, Roy Scheider may never have been better ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Alien 3: weak Seven: masterpiece The Game: very good Fight Club: masterpiece Panic Room: good Benjamin Button: good Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: good Social Network: very good Gone Girl: very good Mank: weak The Killer: ok

@gurghi @codyclarke For his sake, I’m glad somebody likes it

@MovieMeets @codyclarke yep—and I don’t find his work very political. TPS is about legacy & mortality, and even has religious considerations. that’s a long way from TDL… and he continues to explore how his style can be used to accentuate his humor. at this point I find Wes’ work more vital than PTA’s

Bottle Rocket: great Rushmore: great Royal Tenenbaums: great Life Aquatic: very good Darjeeling: very good Mr Fox: great Moonrise Kingdom: bad Grand Budapest: bad Isle of Dogs: bad French Dispatch: bad Asteroid City: bad Phoenician scheme: bad

@gurghi @codyclarke You think? I think his style is a parody of himself at this point and his trite political themes are pathetic.

@MovieMeets @codyclarke sorry you aren’t enjoying how he’s expanded his style & deepened his themes.

@1_800_4_probs Some I couldnt even get through. Isle of Dogs and French Dispatch are abysmal

Every one of these that I didn’t like I went in really wanting to like.

Bottle Rocket: great Rushmore: great Royal Tenenbaums: very good Life Aquatic: mid Darjeeling: bad Mr Fox: (did not see) Moonrise Kingdom: very good Grand Budapest : very good Isle of Dogs: kinda mid French Dispatch: (did not see) Asteroid City: bad Phoenician scheme: good

Bottle Rocket: good Rushmore: masterpiece Royal Tenenbaums: masterpiece Life Aquatic: great Darjeeling: ok Mr Fox: good Moonrise Kingdom: good Grand Budapest: good Isle of Dogs: bad French Dispatch: bad Asteroid City: bad Phoenician scheme: bad

@gurghi @codyclarke I’ve been along for the ride since the beginning, his schtick is so tired

@codyclarke out of 5: BR 4 RSHMR 5 RT 4.5 TLA 3.5 TDL 3 FMF 3.5 MK 4 GBH 5 IOD 3.5 TFD 3.5 AC 2.5 Ronald Dahls 3.5 TPS 3.5 totally singular filmmaker. and his themes & concerns have developed along with his style.

@Rob_Motto Nah, this movie is so bad its good

Philip Seymour Hoffman deserved so much better than this shit movie

@codyclarke Gfys

They didnt get it 🤷‍♂️

@WackoJackosflix Husbands is my favorite of his.

@MovieMeets Same here, one of my absolute favourite actors, so much charisma and pathos. I really love Bogdanovich's Saint Jack (1979) too

I have phases of rabbit hole obsession with movies I love, looks to be happening with Chinese Bookie currently, quite fitting it's the 50th anniversary (though I think the 1978 re-edit is superior). Genuinely one of the finest American films in history. Weird, moving, glorious

Josh Gad thinks Eternal Sunshine came out in 1999 haha

The only thing that could have made Marty Supreme better is if someone had cut off some of his fingers

@HighSierraMan @3xchair @RandyRRQuaid So Pepsi killed Michael?

It starts by putting yourself at risk. "It all began in 1984 when he suffered both second- and third-degree burns to his scalp during a pyrotechnic disaster while filming a Pepsi commercial and was given painkillers to recuperate. In Jackson’s own words, drugs had taken over his life in the years that followed. 'I became increasingly more dependent on the painkillers to get me through the days of my tour,' Jackson says in archived audio, explaining why he canceled the latter part of his 1993 'Dangerous' world tour and announced that he was going into treatment... Jackson was taking Demerol at a whopping 300 milligrams at a time, according to Dr. Drew Pinsky. The pop singer even mentions the substance in his 1997 track 'Morphine...' Jackson had created 19 false aliases to collect different drugs, and Klein had kept a special book noting which prescriptions went to each fake identity, according to Ed Winter, the assistant chief coroner for LA County.. 'The way that Michael went about getting all these drugs was doctor shopping. He had multiple, different doctors that he was involved with and he would go to ‘Doctor A’ and ask for a sedative, and then he would go to ‘Doctor B’ and may ask for the same one,' Jackson’s plastic surgeon, Dr. Harry Glassman, claims. 'Michael is responsible, to a great extent, for his own demise, but he certainly had a lot of help from the medical community.'" nypost.com/2022/08/29/mic…

Well, this is definitive. Hear, hear Elizabeth on Michael Jackson, tabloid journalism, tabloid television. Thanks for posting @RandyRRQuaid

@masterofoneinc1 Hideous, I’m afraid

Today's shoes: the Jordan 18 Royal for #BlueMonday. The last shoe Jordan played in for the Wizards. Tate Kuerbis design influenced by Italian dress shoes and race car driving shoes; one of my favorite shoes. #kotd Would you wear? What is your favorite Studio Ghibli movie?

@TheDocSportello Willem Dafoe?

Pop quiz, nerds: what do these four ’90s classics have in common?

@3xchair Gonna poke somebody’s eye out

What a girl! What a group!

@TheCinesthetic You watch somebody get scalped and we’ll see how judgey you are

Tom Hardy in The Revenant (2015) is pure survivalist rot.. twisting greed and self-preservation into something brutally human. He’s not loud or theatrical, just constantly rationalizing the worst choices and dragging everyone else down with him.
