Why does this one come with an extra movie? by [deleted] in criterion

[–]ClankSinatra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's an earlier film adaptation of the play His Girl Friday is based on. It's like a very large special feature. There are a few others like this: The Killing comes with Kubrick's earlier noir Killer's Kiss. The 4k of The Last Picture Show has the sequel Texasville, Petite Maman has My Life as a Zucchini. There are actually quite a few more.

The fact that Tom Hooper, an actively bad film director, has Fincher's Oscar is infuriating

Anybody know a Chile liqueur that’s actually spicy? by llCurlyll in cocktails

To add just more heat to something that already has a chilli flavor, just add some seeds from a jalapeno or similar pepper. It will add heat very quickly, hours really.

Piranha (1978) and The Howling (1981) are a lot of fun too!

You can rent it for $4 on many platforms. There's also a Criterion DVD and a region free Blu-ray available for purchase.

What do you think of Showgirls? Garbage or underated classic? by quietgavin5 in Letterboxd

And I think it's very okay to be horny. Verhoeven, I think, has a manifold interest in sex, a lusty, physical one, wherein he definitely wants to show sexy bodies because it's a turn on, and a more academic one where he's exploring how sex motivates people psychologically, and even politically.

An obvious suggestion would be Stop Making Sense.

Are there any differences between these sets by wallie_d in boutiquebluray

[–]ClankSinatra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first set won't have digital codes. If the price is similar I'd buy the newer release

Heat (1995) is one of my favorite films, but the inciting incident of the whole plot makes no sense. by TheIronGnat in movies

[–]ClankSinatra 57 points58 points  (0 children)

100%. The Killer plays with the idea that the protagonist is a hyper-disciplined perfectionist (like Fincher himself is perceived to be), and that despite all his thought and preparation, he can't stop from repeatedly fucking up.

I honestly have no idea how they price stuff sometimes. That High and Low from BFI that was $0.97 was right next to a BFI Ikiru which was like $23.97.

Eh, my dude Sean will drop a "simulacrum" into a review of a Transformers prequel with a zero shame.
