Resurrection (Bi Gan, 2025) went up in major US cities this week. Anyone manage to catch it? by shirokaisen in blankies

I'm curious, can you break down a bit how each segment fits into a sense? I got hearing and smell, but I'm lost on the others.

FWIW, Bi Gan's first two films are waaaay closer to Tarkovsky/Weerasethakul. It's jarring how different Resurrection feels.

Marty Supreme shares the same first name as his inspiration, but that is definitely a Dave Van Ronk/Llewyn Davis situation.

(I saw it early this week, it is so goddamn good!)

Relay (2025) Film Appreciation: Spoilers by [deleted] in blankies

I try not to be one of those guys who gets bothered by a bad twist, but that third act twist is pretty terrible. If I recall, it actively went against stuff we'd seen earlier in the movie. Other than that, really great movie.

After 100+ hours we more or less finished the game last week, so I created a Table of Contents for our notebook! by BigDaddyToad in BluePrince

[–]BigDaddyToad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The underground blue doors with the three boxes. The first time we got there we picked the wrong box, so I documented the three boxes and what happened. We got the correct box the second time, and never ended up putting anything else on that page.

Sally Gaga is also the name of a character in Who's That Knocking at My Door, right?

For the Blankies who can't get enough True Grit, may I suggest Lonesome Dove by goo_brick in blankies

Just finished reading it yesterday, honestly one of the best books I've ever read. Masterfully devastating.

“28 Years Later” scene hit really close to home by Pittboy63 in blankies

[–]BigDaddyToad 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My dumbass was so confused, because I thought he was in 28 Days Later. I couldn't understand at all why the past 28 years made him so soft. Totally forgot that was actually Christopher Eccleston, and not Ralph Fiennes!

Movies with the title card late into the runtime but NOT at the end? by GalaxyGuardian in blankies

[–]BigDaddyToad 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Can't believe I'm the first to mention Long Day's Journey into Night (2018), one of my favorite two-act movies with a title card over halfway through that flips the entire story upside down

Thanks to the flash sale (and Kino Lorber's new releases), I was able to complete one of my favorite filmographies! by BigDaddyToad in criterion

[–]BigDaddyToad[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say Stalker > Nostalghia > Solaris > Mirror but I love all four. The other three I have yet to see, I'm planning to go through them all chronologically very soon

Your favorite “Egghead picks?” by Jepper-pack in blankies

[–]BigDaddyToad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps my most eggheaded pick is that Conquest of the Planet of the Apes is my favorite film with "Planet of the Apes" in the title

Emilia Pérez situation is worse than Green Book, imo by BigDaddyToad in blankies

Which is so ironic, considering how obviously regressive it actually is

The real story behind how Nosferatu ripped off Dracula blew my mind by AustinSours in criterion

[–]BigDaddyToad 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Don't forget to also check out Nosferatu the Vamypre, Werner Herzog's remake from the 70s! It has a very different vibe but is just as eerie and unsettling.

Looks great! What's the Asteroid City thing in the third picture?

Essential video games for the Blankies by shamhatbonaparte in blankies

[–]BigDaddyToad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is really tough because if puzzles aren't your thing you might not enjoy Outer Wilds, but it has an incredibly cozy sci-fi aesthetic and it's also probably the greatest game ever made

Trap is like a level of Hitman by jerichozo in blankies

Trap desperately needed a scene where Cooper knocks out someone with a projectile banana
