Haven't seen it. I thought Clerks was a masterpiece. The sequel was so bad though, I don't think I want to see any more Jay and Silent Bob films.

For some reason, I've never been able to sit through more than fifteen minutes of this. It's a good concept though, might try and rewatch at some point.

My attention span for movies and television is the worst these days. It sucks, I used to really enjoy watching films and talking about them.

That said, last movie I watched was The Irishman and I found that captivating enough. It was epic in the sense that the story spanned about five decades. Quieter, more subtle than Casino & Goodfellas, but definitely a worthwhile addition to that sub-genre of gangster flick.

Funny, it took me three sessions to finish the Irishman, and I found it subpar. With Inception, I was glued to the screen for the whole movie and couldn’t keep my mouth closed much lol

you managed to save that treat for a while. amazing soundtrack indeed. love the pink 80s opening credits set to "Nightcall." that, "A Real Hero," and maybe a couple others made it onto my iphone due to that film. quintessential gosling in his ultra stoic, ultra violent, heart throb character.

i respect your high standards for 8+ films, but 12 Angry Men? epitomizes how bland american cinema remained throughout the 1950s as the rest of the world took note of bergman and moved toward new wave.

i agree there there was nothing special about The Irishman. and it took cgi to embarrassing new levels.

Yeah I really liked Drive, gonna get the Blu-ray eventually. It showed up on Netflix and that’s what spurred my viewing.

I’ve only recently ventured into 50s cinema such as Casablanca, The Killing, some Alfred Hitchcock. I thought Twelve Angry Men stood above the rest. If you have recommendations for foreign films from that period I’m all ears.

Yeah, The Irishman was a real flop for me... cgi very unconvincing, plot dull and plodding. I’m 50/50 on Scorcesse films; generally, I think his best lie outside the ‘gangster’ genre and The Irishman was no exception. Taxi Driver and his George Harrison documentary come to mind.
 
Oh yeah, I watched The Holy Mountain two days ago while frying hard on acid. That’s all I really have to say about that.

I can’t give rating to film like that. It simply is.

Niiiiice. I first watched The Holy Mountain late 2015 on 450mg of DXM and either a bit of LSD or 4-ho-met. Like you said, it simply is.

Well, to add some words, symbolically lush.

@Max Power should have to do that. it's his favorite director that paved the way for la nouvelle vague, which shaped film as we know it today.

the 40 and 50s were terrible decades for film, in my opinion. it's not until the 60s that things started happening and the medium was embraced as its own. but even into the 60s, american cinema was lagging behind.

check out Summer with Monika by igmar bergman, if you get a chance. i don't really think it's your type, but it shows the america was then not the leader of feature films in the 50s. or the The Seventh Seal. it's maybe a bit pretentious, but it's where the mold really started to break.
 
"Double Indemnity" is a good one from the 40s. I like "Double Indemnity"

One I don't like from that era is "The Maltese Falcon".
 
The Big Country ( 1958 )

Western period piece starring a shit ton of high bill actors from the period, Burl Ives won an Oscar but I think Charlton Heston stole the show really. A bit slow moving, a 2hr 45min movie should have an intermission lol. I was pleasantly surprised by the interest of the main plot, for a Western it really explores man's innate nature of distrust and hating one's neighbor.

If you're bored and enjoy sweeping imagery, it's worth a watch. Helped kill my afternoon yesterday. Better than your average Western and some really amazing acting throughout.

7.5/10
 
Parasite was Excellent. A masterpiece of metaphorical communication with all sorts of Hidden meanings.
Bong Joon-Ho signals yet again his keen Interest with Climate change. Blink once and you'll miss it !

Excellent Camera manipulation to severely make this film memorable and palpable . Definitely Recommend.

That new jay and silent bob movie was indeed absolutely horrible, a coming of age movie for stoner boomers. I mean, that hit home too hard, lol. :(

Jesus rolls was equally as bad, softcore porn was more like it. There was no dude, the only dude was me saying dude, was that necessary? :(

21 bridges, uhh, I only saw like 2 so far, but I'm not really paying attention, half of this movie is just gunfire and endless rounds, don't understand how there's 45 mins left when this is clearly the end. :(

Thanks for the heads up.
 
Everybody's Everything

If you even slightly enjoy his music, this is a must see. No words.

9/10
 
Singapore Sling (1990)

Not entirely unenjoyable. Morbid. The impulsivity and psychological drives of the characters are worth a glance. Ridiculous emotions make action believable.
 
I love Singapore Sling! It's like a crazy arthouse porno/horror film, with surprisingly good acting, the woman who played "the Daughter" especially

Back when IMDb still had message boards, that film was a legend on the Horror board

It definitely adheres to a strict form in the way it presents ideas / events that reminds me of some great classics. I agree with you about the daughter. I went to the grocery store yesterday and spent an extra long time admiring the kiwis because of her. Her mother's mere visage was terrifying.
 
Midsommar

I became interested in this because of some of the things I read in this thread, actually. It's pretty good! I love how the film basically makes you dislike all of the characters so you don't mind when they get ruthlessly dispatched by a group of very polite, psychopathic Swedish cultists lol. They shared so much of their drugs with those ingrates!

I did feel a little bad for the black guy...he shouldn't have taken pictures of the book though! ;)

The female lead in the film reminded me a lot of Amanda Knox, I think it was the shape of her face or something

Lara Croft - Tomb Raider from 2001. It was okayish till the end and then it hit, for a blockbuster, all time low. Absolutely stupid fucking last 25 minutes.

1,5/5
