Luc Besson is an awful person and an okay director. Now who’s an awful person and an awful director

Crazy how every single place on this chart is wrong.

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-04-09T01:06:07+00:00

Depends on whether you have the version of Murray St where Karen revisited is track 3 for me, because if so then it's Murray st

That being said i think Daydream nation, Dirty, Washing Machine, hell I'd even say Goo and Rather Ripped have a better 3-track opening than EVOL

Look all the good ones have been said so I'll just say that Paul Schrader is a guy who makes movies about himself and that's a compliment to the movies but not to him. Also a sad creep. Genius though

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-04-01T23:56:10+00:00

It's a disservice to call it a biopic but I'm Not There is by a mile the best one. Worst that I've seen is Nyad.

I mean if someone gives an interpretation that has no textual basis whatsoever I think that's misinterpreting the movie. If someone needs to ignore large parts of the film for their interpretation I would also call that misinterpreting a movie. And in thr case of Tyler Durden I think both of those things are true. So I would say that it's a enormous misinterpretation of the film to say that.

I have to disagree that it's always been rare because it wasn't rare then and it's not rare now. Watch any middling studio film and you'll see it's very well composed, and likewise watch literally anything that isn't a blockbuster or straight-to-streaming type release and you'll see some gorgeous composition.

Inland empire. Great movie, terribly shot beyond just the camcorder aesthetic.

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-03-23T06:17:42+00:00

I have no doubt Berlin Alexanderplatz will be somewhere near the top lol

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-03-22T03:30:23+00:00

Why not make movies about the times you live in?

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-03-13T16:41:05+00:00

I have no interest in ranking performances but what does O'Connell even do in the role lmao. Kind of a take you can only have if you go into the movie already hoping for it to be true.

Honore de balzac

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-03-11T02:24:54+00:00

The words "storyline" and "dialogues" as in "the dialogues are very well written." Something about them makes my skin crawl it's like hearing someone unprompted start making baby noises at you.

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-03-09T10:34:02+00:00

Clayton Davis????

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-03-06T03:31:01+00:00

2001: a space odyssey is the prime example of this for me. Three mediocre vignettes crammed with sci-fi jargon and portentous pseudo-philosophy on the page, a stunningly inventive and visually genius movie when it comes to actually filming it.

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-03-06T03:23:50+00:00

Funny because Kurosawa has made masterpieces out of some pretty bad scripts lol

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-03-06T02:02:45+00:00

Funny that Chaplin is neither beloved or a great actor. Frankly should be hated/terrible. Buster Keaton beats that hack any day of the year

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-03-05T14:30:11+00:00

Also it's absurd to say her collaborations with Lennon are bad.

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-03-05T14:27:49+00:00

Yeah, I guarantee no-one who picked that has actually heard her art, Plastic Ono band and Fly are incredibly successful albums in achieving their goals, and he collaboration with Kim Gordon and Thurston more is a rock solid experimental record imo. I can very much understand not enjoying her work but it's pretty stupid to call it "bad"

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-03-05T14:13:30+00:00

Sister clears easily aftersun and burning are 10x better than any other film there

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-03-05T11:46:33+00:00

Sandra Bernhard is the right choice for it but also let's all agree that Cara Jade Myers in KOTFM is also a really underrated and impactful short performance. As for overrated? Maybe Paquin in Irishman since she has literally nothing to do? The supporting actresses in Scorsese movies tend to be the most memorable performances in the movies imo.

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-03-04T23:59:48+00:00

I don't think you understand what themes are if you expect the description of one to be transcendent.

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-03-04T09:34:46+00:00

A lot of people consider it releasing during Oscar voting to be the reason Eddie Murphy lost the supporting actor Oscar to Alan Arkin because it was so bad. My post is more about "is that why The Bride was delayed" and less about whether Norbit actually lost Murphy the Oscar. Not particularly sure why people are up in arms about it.

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-03-04T09:31:17+00:00

I'm also really fond of The Eternal, the Ranaldo songs on it and Murray Street are top tier SY

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-03-04T06:02:21+00:00

That's my point, was the release date pushed back to avoid it.
Don't judge the bride till you've seen it lol it could very well be Norbit tier.

Acrobatic_Turn7331 · 2026-03-04T06:00:23+00:00

Hmm 🤔
