Isn't it a crime to not like Lebowski?

I thought Blood Simple was just fine and lacked the depth of their later work though it did have similar themes of retribution. Like a 6 or 7 out of 10. It's been years though, I should probably revisit it.

Lebowski's brill

Lebowski O Brother Ladykillers and Raising Arizona are the essential Coen comedies in my opinion. Though Arizona is a TAD "outdated" at this point.

Burn after Reading and Intolerable Cruelty are fun and worth a watch, and Hail, Caesar was very disappointing for me. Maybe I will try it again in 10 years.

Inside Llewyn was also pretty lame, but at least Goodman's character was interesting.

I really need to rewatch True Grit... That was a goodun.

it's all about The Hudsucker Proxy

NOW we're talkin dated

oh no

Never watched that one.
And I forgot that I've actually seen True Grit. 'twas a fine film indeed.

This’ll probably get me harrassed, but I don’t really like O Brother Where Art Thou

And you shouldn't, cuz it was laaaaame

Oh so you don't like Homer? He's the foundation of everything we know about storytelling!

And the songs are great.

And so old that he's no doubt been improved upon thousands of times.

Agreed. O Brother is a great example of this.

I don’t remember the songs, maybe I’d like them more now that I’m in my 20s

people that don't like that movie gotta be Fop advocates

wat

*squint*

Need stronger glasses?

Oh, silly me. It's this, right?

Why would anyone advocate for that?

I'm a Dapper Dan man personally

*continues squinting*

Actually I have no idea what Bungle was originally talking about, so I'm just trying and failing to be funny.

*squint*

Solid track

I'm talking about the "Fop advocates" thing, obviously.

One day I will watch this haha.

Just got home from seeing "Searching". Linda and I both really enjoyed it. The way it's constructed is really unique but fitting for this day and age. Don't read anything about it if you plan on seeing it.

I honestly can't remember the last time I went to the movie theater. I usually just download pirated versions of the film until DVD/digital rips come out.

Does porn count?

Watched these recently:

In order to sell this movie, publishers are clearly trying to pass it off as some sort of murderous thriller, but it's not. It's a low key drama between three characters where, between the lines, a battle of two male egos is taking place throughout the movie.

It finally escalates near the end of the movie, but things don't go quite like genre expectations might have you think.

Well made in every way. I enjoyed it fairly much, but two things were in the way: 1) my DVD version dropped a lot of the subtitles, so it was hard to follow at times (they don't speak English), 2) feels a slight bit like a drag during the first half where it's very unclear where any of this is going. It really feels like it has no plot at all at times. But I think I was just expecting something else. I'll probably like it better next time, now that I know what manner of film this is.

What?

I chose the alternately titled, alternate cover above since it maybe reveals how this weird ass movie is supposed to be read. It plays out like a sort of absurdist comedy, where our distressed heroine receives asylum at a mansion full of odd, rich people. It's a very ribald movie with no small amount of sexual suggestiveness and nudity. The movie plays out like a dream, in that the logic of the actions of these characters never really clicks together 100% and there's just so many odd scenes and intentionally bizarre mannerisms and spoken lines.

The movie breaks the 4th wall big time in the very last scene. It's gonna be worth watching if you like movies that are really about the art of film to begin with.

It's interesting how, despite being a movie that spends quite a bit of time on t&a and lewd jokes, it's very beautifully shot and well acted. Some scenes had a real dream like quality to them and I actually liked the movie fairly much. It kind of makes the fact that it makes very little sense into a virtue.

I loved this movie! Probably the best Oscar best picture winner I've ever seen. I'm generally not very impressed with Oscar winners, but this one was smart, snappy, funny and observant about the behaviors of different sorts of people. The lead actors do a fantastic job for this sort of movie. It's not played for realism, but for a sort of energetic melodrama that works great for a drama comedy with such sharp lines. Got a bit heavy handed with the script in just a couple scenes, but it's overall a movie that deserves all the praise it's gotten over the years.

Now I really want to catch up with some more old Hollywood movies.

Polanski + sexy times = jail (jk he evaded justice)

Saw “mother!” last night

God DAMN it was great! Been a while since I’ve seen a movie where I’ve struggled to name a flaw. My jaw was dropped the entire last 30 minutes

the script is a flaw

No complaints on the script from me

it's great otherwise

Why is it that bending over and coughing is the movie/TV shorthand for throwing up? I've thrown up many a time and one thing I generally don't do during is cough. I'm not even sure how this became a thing as somebody would have had to cough and then vomit for anybody to think that it would be a good replacement for actual vomiting. Who was this person? Why did they cough and then vomit? Man, I don't know.

I just watched "The Slams" lol, pretty entertaining 70's prison movie with the one and only Jim Brown. Pretty brutal movie too, one guy gets his limbs ripped apart in a cement truck (he had it coming though) and another guy had this liquid metal stuff poured all over his face.

Definitely not as cheesy as the trailer makes it seem, the trailer makes it look like any other blaxpotation film. Some action movies I can find quite boring but this one gets my recommendation.
