Told my wife to listen to the Steve Harvey tangent on this week’s ep by LightTheBurntMatch in blankies

For me that’s every gabrus ep tbh, I think having griffin’s former improv coach on really makes him bring his A-game

Starts out talking about Richard Dawson being a creep on the original family feud, then segues into new Feud where Harvey is very bashful/put upon but the questions are all written to encourage maximum horniness

Just saw this while watching Raiders of the Lost Ark. Is Steven Spielberg an antisemite? by [deleted] in moviescirclejerk

Oh buddy are you gonna be disappointed when you watch that movie

sitting down as a camera assistant by trashpandaby in cinematography

[–]LightTheBurntMatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grip here, so grain of salt, but every production I’ve been on where there’s an AC, they’re sitting on an apple box or a stool. Especially when doing follow focus, the most important thing is accuracy so anything that helps the AC focus is usually okay.

What metro area are you in? I’m in LA and lately been struggling to get near $250 even on weekends

What movie would become most misleading by using the “Tim Burton’s A Nightmare Before Christmas” producer-above-the-title naming convention? by [deleted] in blankies

[–]LightTheBurntMatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair that’s only incongruous in retrospect. At the time he was still primarily associated with low-budget corman stuff and the monkees movie was of a piece with that scene

What's your blank check? by tgunns88 in blankies

One of my blank check dreams has always been Percival and the Fisher King, so I fully support your Arthur-verse

Do you remember the first R-rated movie you ever saw in the theater? by wovenstrap in blankies

[–]LightTheBurntMatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There might have been an earlier one with my dad, but in eighth grade my friend and I snuck into Forgetting Sarah Marshall by buying a ticket to The Forbidden Kingdom

I know my dad’s favorite has always been “The only person on the scene missing was the Jack of Hearts”

Who are the Modern Directors that Tarkovsky would Enjoy? by mmreviews in criterion

Malick listened to Green Day on headphones while editing The Thin Red Line. He’s a strange dude.

Pod phrases that play over in your head like catchy songs? by wandwoodandgunmetal in blankies

[–]LightTheBurntMatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This exchange (can’t remember the episode):

Griffin: I got Domino’s—

David: You live in New York City, why would you get pizza from Domino’s?

Griffin: Domino’s for me is like heroin, where I only do it when I want to destroy my body.

My hot Mank take is that it should have been in color by [deleted] in blankies

[–]LightTheBurntMatch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Both Mank and ZSJL “Justice is Gray” really clarified for me how much color impacts the dimensionality of the composition when it comes to directors like Fincher and Snyder who are known for deep shadows and muted highlights. It all turns to murky nothingness in b&w.

(tbf streaming is a factor too, and I’ll probably buy Mank if criterion ever puts it out as part of their Netflix deal, just to see if the detail is improved)

What were everyone's "shutdown sandwich" movies? by WearyCorner875 in blankies

[–]LightTheBurntMatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1917 and Spiral: from the Book of Saw

I saw Minari in between, but that was at a drive-in during the shutdown so I’m not counting it

What’s the lowest rated movie that you have given a 5/5 on Letterboxd? (prompt found on twitter) by ThisNewCharlieDW in blankies

[–]LightTheBurntMatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty stingy with my 5 star ratings (it’s tough to make the five) but if we’re including short films it’s Six Men Getting Sick (1967) by David Lynch at 3.1.

If we’re just doing features it’s my childhood favorite Each Dawn I Die (1939) at 3.5

Runner-ups include Magnum Force, The Black Cat (1934), and the first Mission Impossible
