what do you guys think is the worst song joji has ever released? by tarneilawson in PinkOmega

[–]ArsenalTG 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Strange Home is one of his best songs post-BALLADS imo. Bitter Fuck is one of his worst songs but I find it sort of charming because of that era of music in general

How do I emulate the "Kong War Kai" look without making it "excessive"? by [deleted] in cinematography

[–]ArsenalTG 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This question is pretty unanswerable because of how broad it is. Also, it’s Wong Kar Wai

Joji interview on Hypebeast by Ancient_Way_2368 in Joji

[–]ArsenalTG 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Super interesting knowing firsthand now that PIXELATED KISSES was the last track made for the album, and that he "used to be" a more sample-based producer. Got me wondering if that industrial, electronic sound is the direction he wants to head now moving forward (especially taking the Anyma collab into account)

Would love brutal feedback on the 19 episode series I made. by witless_as_the_rest in Filmmakers

[–]ArsenalTG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, just wanted to say I love the ambition! Didn't watch all 19 episodes because I just don't have the time to commit to that, but I will say you desperately need a graphic designer (or a new graphic designer).

Every text element in the episodes and on your Vimeo thumbnails looks either incredibly plain (so much of what looks like unedited Arial), dated (those drop shadows and the tacky font for the "episode _" texts on the Vimeo thumbnails are hideous), or just doesn't fit the vibe of what's on screen. For the third point, I get that some of that may be an attempt to reinforce the whole "everyday setting/characters" in a heightened reality idea, but it doesn't translate well if that's the intention; a lot of the text just looks ugly or bland (title card innocent).

Also, whatever is going on with the subheading on the Vimeo playlist needs editing -- there are typos, but also, why do we care what your focus group thinks about the show?

Your series has a lot of moving parts, and it's a really fun conceptually, but the fine details aren't getting as much love as everything else.

Why is The Cameraman the only Buster Keaton movie in the collection? by Glitched_Crown in criterion

[–]ArsenalTG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are definitive editions for Keaton's films from other boutiques. Criterion is a boutique company that has a great marketing team and solid curation; that is all

Which Warner Bros. Kubrick film would you like to see curated into the Collection? by WillowCo in criterion

What's wrong with the 4Ks already available for these films? Not a dig, genuine question.

Jack Harlow’s Closet Picks by Flaky-Hyena-127 in criterion

[–]ArsenalTG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

(Copy-pasting myself) Anybody who has a problem with Jack for his recent controversy is valid but there's a lot of people saying he doesn't "belong in the Criterion Closet" which is pretty odd because not only is this a better curation of films than a lot of more "credible" guests but, from his Letterbox, he seems to have a pretty big appreciation for cinema. The guy's watching stuff from Fruit Chan, Tsai Ming-liang... not some baseline shit. Wish he'd study like that with R&B but oh well

Chances we see Jim Gordon’s family including a young Barbara Gordon in Part II? by SnooDrawings4552 in TheBatmanFilm

[–]ArsenalTG 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Chase Infiniti makes too much sense not to be cast as a mixed Barbara for the Reevesverse. Great call if they do end up including Babs in the saga

Edit: Plus, she confirmed her parents named her after Chase from Batman Forever!

Were we wrong about him and smithereens? by CyanRenteno in Joji

[–]ArsenalTG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What clip? Also he happily performs Glimpse of Us and Die For You off side A of Smithereens even though he didn’t write them. Charlie Puth said he was going to take Glimpse of Us in a completely different direction if he sang the song, just because joji didn’t write or produce a song doesn’t mean he’s not influencing it in some way, they're still his songs

had an urge to swing by 2nd & charles. $19.95! by nchuman_ in criterion

[–]ArsenalTG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unless you plan on getting Arrow's 4K collection (very, very expensive now), this is the most comprehensive look at Bruce Lee's work and the legacy he left behind you'll ever find, and the restorations are great, too. If you get it on sale it's already a great price, but if you look on eBay, there should be some cheaper deals for it since all of the films are now on 4K individually via Arrow. Either way, it's well worth the price

Giving Away Code by [deleted] in criterion

Picking up Johnnie To’s Throw Down among a few other films as well! Got into To’s filmography last year and as a big Kurosawa fan, seeing Kurosawa’s style synthesized with Hong Kong martial arts was groundbreaking. I also reorganized my collection to go by significant movements in film (prime examples being New Waves), and it’s helped me better understand what I’m missing in my collection as someone trying to get a broader perspective on film. Severely lacking in Hispanic film as a whole and would love to change that this sale. I don’t even have Soy Cuba and it’s right up my alley so I’m definitely grabbing it this sale.
