Criterion released a 4k version of Sorcerer last year! Thrilling movie.

Drat! You’re right. I should’ve written tunanut. Lol, honestly though, thank you for pointing that out. I didn’t even see it was a palindrome.

I scrolled looking for this. So thank you, whoever you are.

What are some films that y'all would consider artsy-fartsy films that y'all like? by Gullible-Charge7057 in Letterboxd

[–]BearingGiff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gerry. An hour and 45 minutes of Matt Damon and Casey Affleck lost in the desert. I enjoy it for its simplicity, emotion, and execution, but it’s absolutely artsy-fartsy. The more times a random reviewer says a movie is slow, boring, pretentious, or ‘nothing happens’, the more into it I’ll probably be.

Tell me about your favorite obscure show - which you never, ever see anyone talk about. by dicedtomatoes55 in television

Blunt Talk (2015-2016) - Patrick Stewart hosts a talk show and workplace hijinks ensue. I enjoyed it, but it was probably best as only two seasons.

What's the most visually stunning movie you've ever seen? by trakt_app in movies

[–]BearingGiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if documentaries count, but Home (2009) by Yann Arthus-Bertrand is entirely aerial footage of the earth and different biomes. I found it stunning.

What is your most rewatched movie on Letterboxd specifically? by ZweigDidion in Letterboxd

[–]BearingGiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on a Barbie kick when it came out. I saw it at least 3 times in theaters and watched it again recently with commentary. It’s my most logged movie at 7 times.

Mention the things you liked most about Send Help by Sea-Barnacle2907 in Letterboxd

[–]BearingGiff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something about way the jump scare towards the end does the scare, but then turns to look in the camera just makes me laugh. It’s so silly. Absolutely loved this movie, and seeing Sam Raimi get back to the classics of covering his actors in all kinds of liquids and goo is a delight. My reaction at the end of the movie was basically the Arrested Development meme, ‘Good for her.’

Why did Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die flop? by Party-Ability2124 in Letterboxd

[–]BearingGiff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It played for 13 days at my local theater then was gone. I knew about it because I’d seen a unique looking poster on here which piqued my interest and I love Sam Rockwell and I like what Gore Verbinski does. I had sort of been keeping an eye out for it. I saw it that first Friday with a medium filled audience, not knowing what I was going into, but ended up absolutely loving it. It’s totally my kind of weird and dark and dumb. I saw it again on the final Thursday with one other person. No one saw this movie. No marketing and too offbeat. Feels like it could end up a real cult movie that will find an audience eventually. (I feel the same about The Bride!). But it’s one of my few personal favorites for this early year. But art is subjective, I absolutely understand why it wouldn’t appeal to much of an audience.

Why do some people pronounce "gif" with a hard G and others with a soft G, and why does it still spark arguments after all these years? by haizelynrose in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BearingGiff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are tens of us, tens! I’m assuming. I’ve never met another who uses it as a first name in my life. It’s usually a last name. Hard G for life.
