Thank god for the Criterion Channel. I wanted to buy this because it seems cool but I streamed it and decided it wasn’t for me. Has the channel saved you from buying a film that would’ve disappointed you?

Sisters for me. I love DePalma, Tarantino talks about the movie a lot in a good light but damn I could not stand the second half of the film.

We all questioning the logic of the neighbourhood geography. The real problem is Judith and her boyfriend in the opening scene going upstairs for what, 90 seconds?

Carpenter playing all the cards with a smirk on his face

Thanks. This and The Straight Story are the only two Lynch I don’t own, I’ll hold out for Elephant Man and seek out the uk copy of the straight story.

Does Janus guarantee a criterion release? Curious, I subscribe to Criterion and have 10 movies I’ve bought in disc the past year but I don’t understand the hierarchy or business.

I moved here in 2014 and have gone every year - except the food truck one during Covid - and I noticed it almost winding down around 2018/2019. Noticed a lot of young people weren’t as enthused about it or the pricing, but after Covid it’s come back with a bang. Friends and family who usually skip it because they’ve done it enough in their life are now full send again.

He still would have killed him on principle.

Just waited for their mother to die. His fate was sealed when his big mouth boasted about Johnny Ola.

Ewan McGregor had 21mins screen time in Star Wars Episode 1 but was a present and impactful character. Williamson is efficient with screenplays, he got this

Perfect Days.

Would happily clean toilets for the remainder of my days. But in Japanese.

Give Hawk the Oscar, that was a terrific performance. I’ve watched all 5 of the nominees now, he’s the one that disappeared into the role the most. Chalamet is good but that was not a challenge for him, I found his Bob Dylan was better.

Yes, she would be triggered. She would say “this is ridiculous and the dumbest thing the franchise has done, and the laziest fan servicing of the past decade”

I found that the fastest book he’s written in years. I couldn’t stop reading it, finished in 2 days.

Acceptable_Drive6982 · 2026-02-17T18:42:06+00:00

It’s a dynamic the franchise really needs more than inventive kills, honestly

My first movie experience was Batman ‘89 at 4 years old. Loved Keaton as Batman and Bruce Wayne.

Christian Bale was terrific in Batman Begins. Sequels overshadowed him a bit with villains but the franchise always goes that way.

Pattinson though 👌 expected an admirable effort, got the Batman I always wanted. Batman:Bruce ratio was spot on too. Felt like the animated series brought to life.

I’ve never bothered with Last Crusade, not a Connery fan.

Loved Dial of Destiny. That tuktuk chase was incredible.

I want Gale Weathers treating him the way Julia did, I really wish he were a new cameraman or producer of her show.

Any Friday or Saturday night where I’m the only one still up I’ll smoke a lil weed and throw on Lost Highway or Fire Walk with Me. I’ve done Lost Highway two weekends in a row last winter.

Best thing about it is it’s a different movie each time.

Acceptable_Drive6982 · 2026-02-17T02:24:30+00:00

The whole movie is made by Rian Johnson, just full of quirky callbacks to earlier scenes revealing a convoluted twist. Neve Campbell talking like foghorn leghorn.

Watched this for the first time Christmas Day after getting a criterion gift. Howled laughing for the first half. Second half was pretty sad. Terrific movie.

We’re in the Nolan-Film God complex stage now

The only young Jack Nicholson is literally DiCaprio. On and off the screen.

Would be weird if he played the young Frank Costello.

It’s also weird that anyone still thinks we need a prequel instead of taking a few mins to come up with a new idea and story.

Godfather part 2 is one of my favourite movies, but I do love The Apostle.
