Saw this and Mother! in the same week. I love them both. But god damn are they a bit much.

True writers write what they want to write. We don't write for you.

Fantastic Influential Time Travel Movie That made Tenet possibly...

Made for 7,000 Dollars!?? Made many times its budget in US box office.

Shot on film by 5 people quickly. Post production hell! Won Sundance 2004.

Quote from above link...

>Every inch of film we shot was in that movie with the exception of maybe 30 feet. We used expired stock, we used short ends, we used any kind of stock that Kodak would donate to us. We were a crew of five guys who trusted each other

Then what’s the point of the post? No one’s forcing you to watch them so just…move on with your life

The first Godfather. I love the second movie with my life, and it’s one of my favorites ever, but the first one is just such a bore. I want to love it and enjoy it, but I just can’t.

At least his is still a fictional story at the end of the day so it's not as bad. I guess every screenwriter writes the high school they wish they had and not the one they got lol.

“Old man yells at cloud.”

What is blud waffling about?

Omg same!!!! I HATED it!!!! I went in thinking I would really enjoy it.

Sense and Sensibility. Emma Thompson is far too old to play Elinor Dashwood and she and Hugh Grant have zero chemistry in it and it’s such a shame!!! It’s all ruined due to the casting. Apparently Emma Thompson insisted she play Elinor. Ugh.

Never liked them when I was young either.

the cool thing about movies is that there’s enough different ones out there to satisfy most interests :)

Nah, it was Splash and Bachelor Party in the early 80s.

I'm a huge Wes guy. But I struggled to get into The French Dispatch. Ima give it another go in a couple months.

I enjoyed the first one but the rest went too far with the world building where it just became silly.
And after you have seen the action in the first one you don't really need to see the others.

Stop barking, damnit

I think the winter soldier was just the planets aligned well for all the talent attached to it. The Ruso bros did a very good job managing all the characters and then did it again at endgame.

For the MCU side of things, I think we were so spoilt with the Infinity Saga for the most part and the conclusion of that whole franchise, that nothing will ever come close. It was like lightening in a bottle.

What also hasn’t helped is the over saturation of mediocre MCU spinoff we’ve had. Loki being the only one that in my opinion was great and hopefully season 2 follows on with that quality.

I’m looking forward to Guardians 3, but past that for the MCU? Nothing much for me to look forward too.

There’s still a lot of good Superhero stuff out there though that gets me excited going forward outside of the MCU.

The Boys and Invincible on Amazon Prime Video are fantastic, and I’m looking forward to the next seasons of those (especially Invincible).

It’ll be interesting to see what James Gunn does with the DC universe, and despite the controversy, The Flash movie looks pretty good.

Then don’t watch them

Intereeeeeeeeesting, since Kubrick is actually often seen as the slow and ponderous and boring director! Though the three Kubrick films you mentioned are much more "pop entertainment", if you will, than stuff like 2001 or Barry Lyndon.

Ari Aster is excellent though! And a huge Kubrick fan! Eggers is too, I believe.

But yeah, The Godfather is paced a lot more like War and Peace or Crime and Punishment or something like that. It's not a crime film like pop culture makes it out to be. Godfather is quite far away from the modern crime dramas on TV that it helped inspire.

It’s pretty close adaptation to the book. The book maybe draws a little heavily from the Winklevoss twins and Saverin narrations, as I suppose Zuckerberg didn’t cooperate as much.

I think superhero movies peaked with The Winter Soldier because they were concentrating more on a good story rather than just explosions and CGI. They built up so many long arcs that ended with Endgame and they’re struggling to start new arcs now because the original MCU characters were just too good. It’s hard to get invested with the heroes in the new movies because they’re too concentrated on milking cash than starting a new long arc that will last over several movies and team-up movies. It’s sad but I don’t think it’ll come back at this point. Not even going to mention the dumpster fire that is the DC universe. I loved The Batman though and hope they continue with that theme.

Me neither.
