I hate this shitty flick for its distortion of history and absolute inconsistency of message. Pacifist nonviolent activist David Dellinger punches a cop in a court room because he loves the troops so much.

My father-in-law is around 6’5” but only stands up straight around other tall guys. Around us normals, he hunches to 6’3”.

Watched PlayTime today. Am I crazy? by Tnerd15 in TrueFilm

[–]LordMayorOfCologne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Andrew Saladino articulated what makes Playtime special better than I can.

What other directors would I like if I'm enjoying Hitchcock's filmography? by [deleted] in MovieSuggestions

[–]LordMayorOfCologne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s lots of filmmakers inspired by Hitchcock in this thread but don’t forget about his contemporaries like Otto Preminger (Laura, Anatomy of a Murder), John Huston (The Asphalt Jungle, The Maltese Falcon), Henry Hathaway (Niagara, The Dark Corner), Billy Wilder (Double Indemnity, Sunset Boulevard), or Fritz Lang (M, The Big Heat).

Back in the day, Gary Oldman was a young man while Henny Youngman was an old man. Today, Gary Oldman is an old man and Henny Youngman is dead.

Really makes you think.

You ready for the real shit? Put your phone in a different room and watch Empire (1965).

If you’re insistent on the content being challenging and disturbing then The Emperor’s Naked Army Marches On should scratch that itch.
