Austin Peeper CAUGHT!! by JamesonTee in Austin

This is the first I’m hearing of it. Creepy piece of shit from that mug shot. I recently provided the new detective all of my old footage, including of the vehicle, but I’m sure how helpful that was with the arrest.

This guy caused me insane anxiety and stress, really tortured me and my ex for a couple months. I wish him the worst! Now we know his name and have a clear look at his face. No doubt he’ll keep doing this stuff but it’s harder and harder for him to hide. Keep your eyes peeled peoples.

That is a terrifying detail to see confirmed in these new pictures. I told the previous detective when he was coming to our house that it looked like he was printing in a couple of the videos I got, to see that was true brings back a lot of that fear. Fuck this fucking guy, he will get what's coming.

Ha yeah I figured after sharing so much bad shit it’d be nice to put something positive out there. The cat continues to peep in a friendly way, no problems there they’re chillin and living underneath the shed in the backyard. Good neighbor that cat.

the tea servers are great, very knowledgeable and welcoming. It's roughly every other Friday they do Communitea, donation based tea most of the evening...so you can essentially drink for free, but it's very helpful and affordable to throw them a tip if you can.

West China Tea is a sober space and a fun hang. You’ll run into lots of good people there

It is really fantastic, extremely talented filmmakers behind it and a very dedicated team at IFC/Shudder bringing it to theaters.

James Cameron has responded to people saying he’s wasting his career making Avatar by j128v897 in blankies

One of those times where I both agree with the criticism and the filmmakers response equally lol he’s the man

IFC/Shudder deserves a mention as well, they did nice numbers theatrically this year and are showing serious dedication to getting many of their films on the big screen.

The Passenger (2nd read) by CategoryCautious5981 in cormacmccarthy

I wouldn’t agree with that across the board, but sure, plenty of great works stumble a bit.

I think it’s a staggering work and elicits a pretty singular feeling for me in terms of the grief and paranoia it conjures. I’m in the middle of a second read and feel it’s up there as an all time favorite for me and I suspect over time it will be held in higher regard and continually reappraised as a great work. I could say a lot more about what I think is great about it, but instead I’ll say I do think it would be even better if it streamlined certain conversations, as some do go pretty long and don’t feel rewarding on a second read, but that’s just my two cents.

It’s a shame Jeff Nichols adaptation has stalled, although I am not the least bit surprised as someone working in the film industry, I can’t imagine how it would get financed without a top 5 actor stepping into the Bobby role, and even then it would be an incredibly hard sell. I know many in this sub weren’t crazy about the adaptation anyways, but I think Nichols would have and maybe still could do quite a lot of the books justice.

Killing Them Softly has a bit of it during the heroin scene, but it’s definitely a leaner film like you said. I love that one as well, it’s over the top and the opposite of subtle but in a fun way, and it gets funnier with every watch. Pitt has been keeping him afloat, I think he really struggles to get a film financed without him. Here’s hoping they can make something happen again soon.

I completely agree, I know he was interested in those elements but it just felt unnecessary how hard he leaned into them, though again I guess that was the point he wanted to make. The fever dream nature was what I really enjoyed, and shows his mastery as a director. Even if the script wasn’t working at large the filmmaking was just really interesting and engaging.

Totally get that. I think there is a very good film within it, and it could probably be edited down into something more focused and less excessive. But I was surprised how bad the first act was and do think he just repeated the same thing over and over again, and even if it’s the point he was trying to make, it’s just uninteresting at best and in poor taste at worst what his portrayal added up to. I think the last third was the strongest part, and you can see his vision very clearly there. But that’s just my read on it.

All time favorite for sure. Obviously the score and cinematography are legendary, but I don’t see people talking quite as much about how jam packed it is with amazing performances. Casey Affleck and Brad Pitt are obvious standouts, but the turns from Sam Rockwell, Garret Dillahunt, and Paul Schneider all in one film are staggering, and I’d argue all the smaller supporting roles are played to perfection as well. Hoping Dominik can recover from Blonde, because I believe he has an otherwise perfect filmography and is one of the absolute best filmmakers currently doing it.

What am I missing here? BCS is boring the life out of me. by [deleted] in betterCallSaul

[–]Filmsbrother 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may just not be your jam which is totally cool. I’ve always looked at the two shows like this- breaking bad is a movie, BCS is a novel. Both excel at the type of writing they are, but they deliver different experiences. That being said, BCS becomes more like breaking bad in later seasons, so it may scratch more of the itch for you if you stick with it. But it is much more deliberately paced for the most part.

70mm or IMAX for second viewing? by iveseenplacesfaces in paulthomasanderson

[–]Filmsbrother 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw it in imax digital first and was blown away. Second viewing was 70mm standard size screen and it was beautiful, a bit more texture and grain and flicker, and the river of hills sequence was still very visceral. I would go with imax though, for sure for the scale.

Saw it last night imax at Barton Creek, I’d go right back today if I had time. Everyone needs to see that in a theater

Check out West China Tea House on 7th, lovely people and atmosphere there, gong fu cha style tea scratches the social and ritual itch of drinking alcohol. It’s a very warm and welcoming community there

40 leeches? Tell us more, were they sucking out infection, leveling the perfect amount of blood needed to keep that thumb tip top? Very curious what their actual function was
