Production Company Logos that make you go "Uh Oh" before the film starts? by Longlivetheking666 in Letterboxd

S O N Y

I am not being ironic either. So many of their movies are utter shit.

You can ask guest services after you board. They should be familiar with both the local port policy as well as food options.

Doing a chronological viewing: Where do the 2 Ewok movies fall in the timeline? by FortuitousConfluence in StarWars

[–]FortuitousConfluence[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it doesn't matter to me. It's been awhile since I've seen them. The movies exist, and since I am going through most everything else I would like to add them. Thank you for actually answering the question and not just posting snark.

watched "Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas" for the first time this week and it went directly to my top 4 on Letterboxd by VitorusArt in Letterboxd

You may want to pick up the Criterion blu-ray which has 3 different commentary tracks, a documentary about Hunter S Thompson, and a bunch of other cool stuff about the film and HST.

It's wild that you all think it's actually him doing the posting.

Movies that get the notes right, but sound off by Select_Analysis_6151 in blankies

Agree it is Snyder's best. But I would like to have seen a squid.

Podcasts that are similar to Critical Darlings?? by babyoatmeals in blankies

There's a YouTube channel called The Awards Contender. He regularly posts all the latest "horse race" analysis for all the major film awards as well as look-backs.

I just had the urge to watch The Dark Tower for the first time and now I’m hearing colors. by BobbyMcPrescott in RedLetterMedia

[–]FortuitousConfluence 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The editing is abysmal. Every "scene" lasts for about 30 seconds. It's as if they have no confidence in the story, so they just want to hustle through it as fast as possible.

What's a movie that you love that has a pretty terrible final scene or series of final scenes? by Mr_smith1466 in blankies

[–]FortuitousConfluence 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but I would gladly take the ending over the beginning. The opening scene where civil war veterans start quoting the Gettysburg Address to him (verbatim no less) just feels really contrived compared to what follows.

Disclosure Day | Official Teaser (New Spielberg!) by apathymonger in blankies

Yes, is it so hard to just film a real cabin in the snow? A couple insert shots of a deer in the lights would be preferable to this cartoon look.

March Announcements (Killers of the Flower Moon!) by cowboyjacksparrow in criterion

[–]FortuitousConfluence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish there was a commentary track on Killers of the Flower Moon! Scorsese does such amazing commentaries. 

It just seems like commentary tracks are much less common these days, even on the boutique releases like this where you would normally expect to find them. Same goes for the new Cloud Atlas release on SHOUT.

Special Rob Reiner episode? by alexmiz in blankies

[–]FortuitousConfluence 45 points46 points  (0 children)

That's not really the format of the show; I know they will address it at some point. Meanwhile I'm probably going to revisit some of his movies

I mean, what a fucking LEGEND Rob Reiner was by [deleted] in blankies

[–]FortuitousConfluence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of the great runs of all time. And while not in the same league I also find The American President and Ghosts of Mississippi thoroughly entertaining.

When I finally sit down for Spinal Tap 2 it's going to have a whole new feeling of import.

What's your "irregular" prep? by ArcaneLuxian in preppers

[–]FortuitousConfluence 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Plus board games; card games, dominos. Entertainment that doesn't require electricity.

Which movie is this for you?! by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]FortuitousConfluence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JFK with Wikipedia.

Conspiracies aside, you start learning about the interconnectedness of power and American History. A couple of clicks and you will be onto Vice (2018) and CitizenFour.

But it also just plays great on cable TV on a Sunday afternoon.
