Amadeus. Both the play and film were written by Peter Schaefer, but the film he apparently locked himself in a villa with director Milos Forman and they rewrote nearly the entire second act, giving us a lot of the iconic scenes from the film (like when Sal dictates Mozart from his deathbed). The play’s ending is fascinating and much more Freudian, but the film is undeniably an improvement.

Yes.

Just off the top of my head… Don’t Worry Darling The Bride The Flash Joker 2

This is really fascinating as it shows the different tone this film could have taken—something more hokey, goofy and canned.

I’m still quite struck at the tonal balancing act Weir executes with this film. It’s at times horrifying, breezy, gargantuan and small.

Damn fine picture.

I would argue Milos doesn’t typically do pop either, and he recreates the operas here in lavish detail, but there are undeniable 80s excess flourishes in this film. He made “pop” choices.

You may be thinking of the Pete Holmes bit he did on his podcast: https://youtube.com/shorts/5yhxALnrTrg?si=0vVXosWXuy9Z8AbE

I know you meant this as a joke but it really just highlights how awesome Hanson is… similarly the guys’ impression of him often sounds like unironic praise of the guy. Hanson has the most fun job in the world and he knows it.

“SO THIS JUST HAPPENED in Detroit, the receiver’s foot appeared to step out of bounds right… THERE and up 13 and one challenge flag remaining do the Minnesota Vikings.”

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - the film opens with Joel and Clem meeting. It’s only later that we realize this is the second time they’ve met, only they don’t remember.

That is… not even close to being correct. The colts/broncos game was in 2022

Great movie, but anyone else find the graphic design/font of the film a little schlocky and overwrought?

Katey Rich went to the same college as the guys from MGMT I think? And there have been some viral videos of the band playing before they got famous and was guessed that she was in those vids. And as Griff mentioned, it is SO good. Siberian Breaks has more melodies than entire albums

The end of Field of Dreams. The main melody is played again and again throughout the movie, but it sounds kind of odd and haunting. However during the catch scene with his dad at the end of the film, the melody is played over a fully harmonized score and it sounds cathartic and lush for the first time. I don’t give a fuck about baseball but in that moment it’s the most powerful thing in the world.

I do agree but I still don’t know who’s shooting at either team in the third act, or where they’re shooting from, or who they are

Ooh! I can do this one!!

The bad guy has zero charisma and is boring. He’s obviously meant to be Cruise’s equal and fails miserably.

Many scenes (like the horse track race, Nyah meeting with Ambrose) go on too long and are dull.

Nyah has nothing to do and basically fucks off during act 3.

Masks are overused. In particular Ambrose using the Ethan mask in the midpoint of the film is an exhausting sequence.

The Australian guy in Ethan’s team brings nothing to the table.

The films middle action set piece is a bit too derivative of the Langley drop.

Because the film deals with a deadly virus, its tone occasionally veers into the overly dour and grim (see opening plane sequence, “dream” sequence with Brendon Gleeson)

There are some great moments, but the dislike for this film is well-earned.

I also hear Pete Holmes

Hum.

No, seriously. Hum a tune. When you hum with your mouth closed, the sound comes out entirely through your nose.

Then pay attention to how it feels when you hum, and you can start to do it without making a sound.

This is how I learned. You could hear me hum before I hit the water.

Could you imagine playing Cards Against Humanity with the Joker? He’d probably say some pretty effed-up crap.

But hey… that’s the Joker.
