the movie part

They're both crazy, but I'd say Mad Max (only because I can't believe no one died while filming those stunts).

Haha, very funny take on a very possible scene.

In addition to great suspense, his movies are also very Freudian and layered in way most middle-brow entertainment isn't.

Like, on the surface Shadow of a Doubt is about a girl suspecting her uncle of being a serial killer, but on a subconscious level it's about a girl struggling with a taboo attraction she has to her uncle.

Hitchcock was a real sicko in a fun way.

Posting about plotholes and clearly having no fucking clue what a plothole is.

Not understanding something about a movie that was so blatantly stated it makes you wonder if they had the sound on during viewing.

Posting an incredibly well-known movie with the question 'thoughts?' like they've discovered some hidden indie masterpiece.

I have hope for the DC reboot. Give me a great Superman movie and I’ll throw my money at it

What a movie though. Listening to the soundtrack right now, and even that is incredibly good. There's such a crazy balance of big sweeping scale and moments of quiet little melancholy or warmth.

I'm sorry but what was awful about the Northman exactly?

There are actually people out there in real life that really hold these opinions. They vote in elections and shape media direction

Entire front page is Movie Posters and Trailers from bots or karma farmers. Then the one guy that tries to post an actual discussion about a movie gets shit on for having an unoriginal opinion.

That would be freaking awesome

It was all boom boom boom.

What did you expect after the first movie? It's a decidedly mediocre movie with spectacular visual effects. Enjoy it (or don't) for what it is, but if you're expecting it to be some opus magnum then that's pretty much on you

i took a gamble and saw it on opening week, so i admit i did not experience the hype in the same way (before people started discussing it i tried to generate hype and get more people to watch it, because it was so transformative for me). however, its ultimate popularity blew me away. i can't imagine how people who came to it later must be feeling. i went to go see it with no knowledge regarding even the base plot, so i'm not sure what the experience of watching it would be like now. if you don't want to watch it, don't watch it. simple as.

cards on the table: i do think award shows are silly. to me, it's a flawed way to measure art. if you liked the northman, it shouldn't matter that it wasn't awarded, because it impacted you artistically, right? if you do decide to watch eeaao, base your opinion on whether or not you liked it on its own rather than whether or not you think it deserved the hype. that'll generate the most enjoyable experience.

"Movie xyz 20/25/30.... years later. Does it still hold up?

Finally! I read the book in anticipation of this coming out around the time I finished it. That was like two years ago.

More like slapping the stick

You would really enjoy r/movies circle jerk sub dedicated to this. I think it was at its peak when BvS was out and there was some crap about some online reviewer and Zod's snapped neck. That aside, any big famous filmmaker name except Nolan and Cameron will get you upvotes on this sub. Avoid dissing or giving personal bad opinions about movies which are rated very highly.

Always only diss on movies that are rated poorly, rated mid or by a blockbuster director.

ITs okay to hate michael bay movies or any big box office hit, except early marvel movies. Its okay to diss on snyder, big no no on indie films and a24.

Wes anderson movies are ALWAYS GREAT. Big snoozefest movies are usually wins on r/movies. Dramatic acting always works.

Its nice to say comedy actors doign serious roles is nice - appreciating that gives upvotes.

The difference between the two would be intent. The experienced filmmaker tried to do something for a specific reason, while the amatuer filmmaker didn't have the skill necessary to produce the film they envisioned. You said it should be obvious to me that you were "talking about movies made unskillfully, not directors or actors choices" implying that you make a clear distinction between the two.

The bottom line is film quality like as with all art is subjective. For every element in a movie whether unintended or intended, made by an experienced filmmaker or an amatuer, the final decision of whether it contributes positively or negatively to the quality of the film is purely a subjective one.

I bought my first Walkman because of this movie. I refuse to rewatch at this point. Some things have to stay sacred.

Phantom of The Paradise.

But I wish more Rocky Horror showings would do a double feature with Paradise. They go very well together.

I'm so glad that you liked it!! It just gets better and better as you rewatch it and dissect it! I'm envious of you seeing it for the first time honestly

it looked like a video game tbh, or maybe just my eyes are too used to cgi by now

WAHHHH... I can't understand the dialog. t's too low and the explosions are too loud

Requiem for a dream is so good and I never want to see it again.

Lord of the Rings is god's (peter jackson) gift to cinema.

SPEED RACERRRRRRR

“I don’t like the film because it doesn’t have any likable characters”

I see this a lot, but why is it necessary for a film to have likable characters? Really weird criticism.
