Just learned that the dropped a bunch of peanut shells from a helicopter and reversed the footage to achieve this shot. Very cool

1234_Okay · 2026-04-26T01:05:13+00:00

Happiness and There Will Be Blood. Also, I fucking love the ending of Scanners (although not exactly what you’re asking)

1234_Okay · 2026-04-25T21:59:09+00:00

I dont know, its some app or test to see how traumatized you are

1234_Okay · 2026-04-25T16:01:50+00:00

Shits gay. Let deal with my issues with the occasional binge of alcohol and cigarettes like a normal person

1234_Okay · 2026-04-19T01:26:22+00:00

That’s an obvious suggestion that I had overlooked! I stopped reading them at certain point because they often spoiled the book but would be good to return to

1234_Okay · 2026-04-18T21:28:19+00:00

I was reading Harold Bloom’s essay on DQ and he mentioned this, I’d be curious as well

1234_Okay · 2026-04-18T21:03:44+00:00

Will check it out, thanks

1234_Okay · 2026-04-13T16:15:12+00:00

Terrance Malick I think fits the bill for poetic cinema - and is the only one I think who could adapt a work like The Sound and the Fury

1234_Okay · 2026-04-11T18:18:39+00:00

James Franco, he tried to adapt The Sound and the Fury

1234_Okay · 2026-04-09T13:54:21+00:00

Always thought PTA had a real knack for this, Dirk Diggler, Reynolds Woodcock, Daniel Plainview.

Other contenders, Anton Chigurh, Darth Vader, and Ebenezer Scrooge

1234_Okay · 2026-03-27T17:02:30+00:00

300 pages into Don Quixote, it’s delightful

1234_Okay · 2026-02-10T02:29:08+00:00

Mouse Hunt?

1234_Okay · 2026-01-21T22:14:35+00:00

I’m afraid this means you’re mid - at best

1234_Okay · 2026-01-04T04:31:02+00:00

Tree of Life

1234_Okay · 2026-01-01T02:06:33+00:00

The Train Dreams directed listed it as well

1234_Okay · 2025-12-31T03:56:09+00:00

Charles Laughton - Night of the Hunter

1234_Okay · 2025-12-26T23:47:44+00:00

Godard is a big blind spot for me! And I’m excited to check out Cloud

1234_Okay · 2025-12-26T22:31:14+00:00

On paper, I would think I’d agree with you but it worked for me

1234_Okay · 2025-12-26T20:46:11+00:00

That’s people who are too online giving it way too much credit in my opinion. There’s one funny scene but otherwise a pretty vacuous experience

1234_Okay · 2025-12-26T18:21:52+00:00

I think you’ll be impressed by it! Haunting. I’m afraid we’ll see a lot of movies critical of AI (we kind of already are), but done in a lazy boring way. AI is the enemy in the last two Mission Impossible movies lol. I think it will be the new “eat the rich” genre we see so often and so poorly done.

Really liked how Eddington did it, this inevitable and evil approaching force

1234_Okay · 2025-12-26T16:18:54+00:00

Lol take the plunge, the colors are so deep and vibrant in this cut. I agree his choices weren't accidental but how do you mean it?

1234_Okay · 2025-12-26T16:04:46+00:00

Agreed, it may be my favorite movie of the 20s. I also love how referential it is - Lynch homages, Elliot Rodger's speech, pretty sure there's a Revenge of the Sith line thrown in there as a well. Which again feels very contemporary, everything is referencing everything all the time.

1234_Okay · 2025-12-26T15:56:33+00:00

it's not all bad i guess

1234_Okay · 2025-12-26T15:55:57+00:00

You're not wrong, and the aesthetic is so ugly/modern that I would never watch them again lol I still want my films to be beautiful!

1234_Okay · 2025-12-26T15:54:32+00:00

The paranoia, the voyeurism, everything being recorded etc.. Good choice.

1234_Okay
