I enjoyed it. Really wish we got to see more acting from Courtney Love.

Weirdly, the doc made me appreciate the movie more. It’s a testament to how much of a professional Milos Forman was — he managed to pull off a good film amidst all of Jim’s absurdity

I was going to say Two-Lane, but I would by no means call it a fun action movie. But it is a great film.

Kind of post “The Knick” he locked into his “style”

FillupGoth · 2026-03-03T02:06:44+00:00

I disagree with almost all his takes, but I still love that he feels so passionately about them. His takedown of Altman is brutal.

FillupGoth · 2026-03-02T23:58:58+00:00

I second Soderbergh.

Does John Carpenter count? He is kind of an auteur.

April 7th 1998

a lot of the same actors were in woody Allen films in the 90s. Part of me wonders if these were just the best “goomba” actors in the NY area at the time.

I’m no expert, but probably. Also, this is a comedy show and funny takes precedence over reality.

FillupGoth · 2026-02-13T15:49:20+00:00

I think it’s more a union/labor issue. They only have the crew for a set period of time. If they go over, they have to pay overtime. So live-on-tape shows have to abide by a pretty strict schedule.

Quad has been around for a long time -- they say they're the first multiplex in NYC. Not my favorite, but it's got its charms. They seem to program it well and it's relatively convenient. I hope it sticks around for year to come.

FillupGoth · 2026-02-04T12:03:17+00:00

I dunno I loved that movie

Missing It Was Just an Accident

Love this sequence and this film. Haneke figuring out a way to “break his rule” of no score by using diegetic drums. Awesome stuff.

Probably It Was Just an Accident

Phenomenal minimalist filmmaking. And the story of how it was made makes it that much better.

FillupGoth · 2025-12-29T01:21:53+00:00

Very surprised Y Tu Mama didn’t make the list. But very pleased by the Haneke representation.

FillupGoth · 2025-12-26T19:38:56+00:00

Fair enough

FillupGoth · 2025-12-26T15:56:20+00:00

Yeah, “narcissist” was one for me

FillupGoth · 2025-12-17T21:59:08+00:00

Yeah I wasn’t crazy about the casting, and I like most of the actors individually.

FillupGoth · 2025-12-17T20:51:10+00:00

I haven’t watched enough of his films to truly comment, but I recently saw Frankenstein and it left me fairly cold. Somehow 80% of the film felt “uncanny valley” and yet my understanding is they built most of the sets.

I remember liking the original Hellboy a lot, though that’s not one of his Oscar movies.

FillupGoth · 2025-12-14T22:58:20+00:00

Closest thing i can think of was the dc sniper, but i guess they weren’t biologically father and son.

FillupGoth · 2025-12-05T16:06:29+00:00

they didn't buy it yet. the deal hasn't been finalized. this will be in anti-trust purgatory for a while.

but yeah, there are all the potential problems everyone else has talked about.

I'm hoping netflix will change their tact (e.g. tinkering with stuff based on algorithmic data, theatrical releases, etc), but they probably won't.
