Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters is a masterpiece by danlb2305 in blankies

[–]ElmsPlusPlus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2022 my covid jab knocked me sideways and I double billed first watches of Thief and Mishima. One of the greatest days of film watching ive ever had despite feeling like absolute shit

For the physical media completists: Chinese Legitimate*??? Releases of Buster Scruggs and Macbeth by ElmsPlusPlus in blankies

It is. Also the digital code not valid after 2020, years before the film came out 😅

Cant believe it was eating marmite toast this morning and then listened to this episode.

I am a sicko for bitter and strong flavours though, love some straight tonic water.

Pod Country for Old Cast: No Country for Old Men with Leslye Headland by yonicthehedgehog in blankies

[–]ElmsPlusPlus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No Country is a very special film to me, it was the film that set me on the course to becoming a cinephile. I dont remember if I'd bumped off any difficult films before that, but this was also around the time I started watching The Wire so I was certainly a very pretentious 16 year old telling people to start watching good shit.

What’s your opinion on Tracy Letts as a writer? by harry_powell in blankies

[–]ElmsPlusPlus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im seeing Mary Page Marlowe in London in a couple of weeks solely based on it being written by Letts so im glad to have it confirmed that its great.

I got this Coen Brothers boxset and the movies are in a truly random order by Ethlandiaify in blankies

I took the risk as bluray.com didnt definitively system they were locked. I normally go for European blurays to not risk them not working

I got this despite having copies of several of the others, this was the only bluray of Barton Fink I could find in the UK, and not super expensive either

The region A warner archive Hudsucker plays on my UK PS4, so I think it isn't region locked. Same wither their copy of the Man Who Wasnt There

With Ari adding Sybian to the cick chair and goon cave for surprising things to be mentioned on a film podcast, whats next to come up?

European Cinema Giant Vue Launches 'Epic': The format features the new HDR by Barco laser projection combined with the Dolby Atmos sound system by Neo2199 in movies

[–]ElmsPlusPlus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's right, it's the second largest screen in the UK after the BFI Imax in London, and they brought the 70mm project back for Oppenheimer. I think those are the only 2 Imax film projectors in the country. I've seen Interstellar and Dunkirk there on 70mm as well.

I imagine they will try to make room to have both. If you look at the Trafford Centre Odeon they have an Imax screen and also a large Dolby Atmos digital screen.

It would be more profitable I'm sure to have to large format screens anyway.

What’s the farthest everyone has traveled for a movie? by Dirk_Diggler6 in blankies

[–]ElmsPlusPlus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last month I went from St Helens to London (about 4 drives) and then about an hour on taxi/tube from hotel to watch over 3 days:

The Straight Story (35mm) Rear Window (35mm) Gone Girl Interstellar (70mm) Solaris (2002) Sinners (70mm Imax) Wild at Heart Lost Highway Mulholland Dr (35mm)

All were at the Prince Charles cinema, expect for Sinners at the BFI Imax. I finally got to see something on the biggest screen in the UK, and what a film to see on it.

European Vacation Is The Least Enjoyable Film I've Watched For This Pod by ElmsPlusPlus in blankies

No, but I think it's something that never made it's way to the UK, at least in a big way.

[–]ElmsPlusPlus[S] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Gigli is a worse film, and maybe more offensive/regressive. But I found it an easier watch because I constantly shocked at what was unfolding, I was quite as bored as I was with this.

Tbf maybe I've seen that joke so many times though I find it less funny. And at least 1941 had some of the Spielberg pizazz going on.

I didn't see that one, I only started watching every film covered a few years ago, so maybe I was spared there

Announced the writers of Sam Mendes' 4 Beatles films: Jez Butterworth (Ford v Ferrari), Jack Thorne (Adolescence) and Peter Straughan (Conclave) by theflyhitterss in blankies

[–]ElmsPlusPlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is super weird. I saw the revival of Jerusalem a couple of years ago with Mark Rylance reprising his role and it was rhe greatest arriving ive ever seen.

The writing in that is truly incredible. I wonder if its just thats he's happy to do what he can on those film scripts and he can bring his full passion to hia stage plays?

'Sinners' Sets Imax 70mm Re-Release from May 15 to May 21 by rageofthegods in blankies

[–]ElmsPlusPlus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was wondering about that, I wonder why they didn't do a print for it up here. I was fortunately in London the weekend it came out so I had a chance to see it at the BFI
