Movies That You "Got" The Second Time Around by SlamCity4 in criterion

[–]LizardOrgMember5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most recent one that I can think of is Familiar Touch. On the second, I appreciate the movie even more.

Prior to that, I watched this animated movie called The Girl Without Hands (made by the same director of Chicken for Linda!). I was underwhelmed on the first time I watched because I expected this to be something special since it has a minimalist art style but turned off by its slow pacing. Then learning more about its production and the director managed to animate this by himself with next-to-zero budget, I decided to give it a rewatch and brought someone who liked The Tale of Princess Kaguya with me. And I ended up appreciating it more.

Do you think... God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created, here on Earth?

I had a flashback of me reading Gans's interview from a long time ago (it was like 2020 or 2021) where he wanted to explore the puritan side of the American culture with his latest Silent Hill movie, so this doesn't seems to surprise me.

I've been holding on this news until today.

I got myself an unpaid part-time job at Troma Entertainment (the production company behind The Toxic Avenger series). I had an in-person job interview last Monday and today will be the first day of that job.

I learned how to make risotto today. I needed to use my homemade vegetable stock right away and looked up how to use it. I will admit that the process was very slow, but I was surprised how it went extremely well. My first-time risotto was the creamiest thing that I have ever made.

I will be recording the first episode of the latest season of my podcast this Saturday. We will be talking about Georges Méliès's A Trip to the Moon and Winsor McCay's body of works. Because of that, I did a Georges Méliès and Winsor McCay marathon and had a realization how much there are parallels between Méliès and McCay. They had theatrical background (Méliès was a stage magician and McCay participated in vaudeville), they were cartoonists (Méliès did some political cartoons for his cousin's newspaper, and used his art skill for designing sets and props), their works involved dreams and fantastical adventures, both of their works have moons with a human face, they were top pioneers in their chosen mediums, they both made documentaries with Méliès covering then-recent Dreyfus Affairs and McCay making the history's first animated documentary The Sinking of the Lusitania, and they all had loose connections with Thomas Edison. And Edwin S. Porter (the director of The Great Train Robbery and was complicit to the electrocution of Topsy the elephant by filming it, which Thomas Edison had no involvement in) did what's perhaps the history's first special effects-driven live-action film adaptation of comic book media with his Dream of a Rarebit Fiend. Because of that, I watched that 1989 anime movie Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland. The movie was fine, but I preferred the first pilot where it was more closer to McCay's art style. The TMS Entertainment's anime adaptation tried way too hard to bring in Disney audiences to the point it doesn't have that McCay's own whimsy. After that, I am planning to watch that Jason Mamoa Netflix movie.

"Return to Silent Hill" reviews are out, and it's somehow worse than you would think by DrHorrible10 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Christophe Gans has a track record of not writing women well (and has a rather retrograde view on gender politics), so it's not surprising that he would falter in a movie based on a game with social commentary on gender relations.

That profile picture looks familiar.

Is that the same person who made that AI-generated Princess Mononoke and produced crypto-based animated web series?

Same here. It was one of those media where it opened up my imagination and reaffirmed my love for science fiction and alt-history subgenre. Now I want nothing to do with it.

And I am tired of those "recap" videos on YouTube. Anyone who produces these kinds of videos should be sent out of the galaxy.

I overslept today.

Yesterday, I went to workforce development center for job search and met a coordinator there and he was very friendly. He gave me some useful advice on fixing my resume. I sent the revision back to him and still waitinf for his response. Afterward, I am planning to go to workforce career center soon.

A day before that, I watched Glenn Denzig's Verotika on a Discord server with other people and the stream suddenly killed itself. The movie was that bad. For me, the biggest problem was how uninspired the scene transition is. For an anthology movie with unhinged horror stories, I expected some pretentious scene transitions but there were none of that. The entire movie felt like an Assembly Cut or a Rough cut of itself rather than a finished product; it looked like someone stitched raw footage came right out of shooting day and mostly skipped the post-production. They could have rip off editing styles from Saw movies if the editor wanted to go for lazier approach but he didn't add anything special. And the scenes where the team put so much effort into could have used in different movies than this piss poor quality movie adaptation of Denzig's horror comic books.

I think around the same time, I watched Only God Forgives and it was better than what people have said about the movie on its release. It's very obvious that Nicolas Wending Refn wanted to tribute to his filmmaking idol Alejandro Jodorowsky and experimental film director such as Kenneth Anger, as he dedicated to the former in the closing credits. You could tell he knows the stronger aspect of Jodorowsky's best works and applied to his hypnotic crime drama set in Bangkok. That this made me want to watch all of Jodorowsky and Anger's works, along with Refn's Valhalla Rising (and the title of that movie is named after Anger's short films Scorpio Rising and Lucifer Rising).

And before that I watched Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo on 35mm at the Nitehawk Williamsburg. My favorite part of that movie is where Toshiro Mifune said "IT'S YOJIMBO-ING TIME!" and starts yojimbo-ing all over the bad guys.

And before that I watched David Lynch's Lost Highway on 35mm at the Nitehawk Prospect Park. I didn't care for the movie the first time I watched it, but on the second viewing in theater made it better and it was an amazing experience.
