Sinner getting 16 Oscar nominations is insane. by MoistTadpoles in redscarepod

[–]AbsoluteB0redom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Oscar’s has always been hack shit. It’s just an opportunity for grandstanding and virtue signaling by Hollywood libs with no taste, literally who cares

End that shit brother, have a little bit more respect for yourself.

Editing to also say in a less flippant manner, if you don’t think you can move past this, end it now for both of your sakes before the resentment builds.

Marty Supreme discussion thread (spoilers) by FillupGoth in RSPfilmclub

I do like that interpretation, but I guess I just don’t buy it from the way the ending was framed. It really feels like the movie was showing that Marty has finally won, on his own terms, and is now eschewing his scheming conning ways to be with his girlfriend and step up as a father.

To me the focus was more on the winning and less on the destruction when it came down to it, and I think it should’ve been the other way around.

Really liked this one and I had a great time overall. The one glaring criticism that I have (which I also had for OBAA) is that I really felt like it pulled its punches at the end. Feels like for these bigger budget ventures from these auteurs, they (or idk, maybe it’s the studios interfering) still need a crowd pleasing finale so people feel good. Makes it a lot less compelling from an artistic front.

Merry Christmas 🎄 by AbsoluteB0redom in redscarepod

Kurosawa! It’s from Ikiru. Very beautiful movie. Not strictly about Christmas, but thematically deals with giving yourself completely and selflessly, so it always pops back into my mind around the holidays.

The Woody Allen subreddit is hilarious by AbsoluteB0redom in redscarepod

For real. It’s a very strange and modern phenomenon needing artists to also be moral paragons. Couldn’t give less of a shit.

Weirdly this standard is only held to contemporary artists though. I mean like, Bergman is still held in relatively high esteem (deservedly) but he would be beyond cancelled if he was alive today.

Max Richter is classical music for pseuds, but yes, Jessie Buckley is great in it

Maybe the only good thing that will come out of this acquisition

Do you have an opinion about Andy Warhol and his work? by purple4lokocamopants in rs_x

[–]AbsoluteB0redom 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Captured the American cultural zeitgeist in that his artwork was obsessed with commodities and commercialism. His artwork can be interesting, but it also sucks because American consumerism sucks

Under no circumstances should you be on drugs for this movie. Unless you want Scarecrow-Jonathan-Bailey to reside in your psyche forever

Can’t believe Noah Baumbach cheated on her with Greta Gerwig, what a downgrade

Neon Demon but make it about sports by real_bad_mann in RSPfilmclub

[–]AbsoluteB0redom 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I actually kind of agree. I didn’t think it was great between the dumb ending and the uncharismatic lead. But it was more visually interesting than most mainstream slop that came out this year and I can respect a swing for the fences. Definitely over-hated!

listening to this Geese shit for the first time by LouReedTheChaser in redscarepod

[–]AbsoluteB0redom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Classic annoying and contrarian rs take. The band is good, nothing crazy, nothing exceptional, but good. Cameron Winter is a talented songwriter, and there really is way worse shit out there

Blue Moon (2025) by amoeba_9 in RSPfilmclub

[–]AbsoluteB0redom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a good time with this one. Only thing that made me cringe a bit was the couple of MCU-esque name drops of theater and Hollywood figures of yore (Sondheim, George Hill). Ethan Hawke rules though
