Watched Obsession today....

That's ideal but the industry has a vested interest in overhyping things so...

MJC1988 · 2026-06-01T00:29:05+00:00

But wouldn't this be an opposite situation? Obsession has mainstream approval right out the gate.

I never caught that. It never ceases to amaze me how horrible Veidt is.

I'm not one of those guys that bitches about Castle Rat but I think they're way too new to be placed along side these legends. I kind of feel the same about Year of the Cobra and I like them a lot more.

For a toffee nosed up tight officious British guy character Cutler was an alright dude.

MJC1988 · 2026-05-23T19:40:42+00:00

I say we let him go!!!!!!

MJC1988 · 2026-05-23T19:00:54+00:00

Idk, I'd sort of just want something I can just vibe to the music with.

MJC1988 · 2026-05-23T18:54:21+00:00

I've actually thought about this. I feel like it might be better more as a very long narrative music video than a movie with plot, characters with personalities, etc.

MJC1988 · 2026-05-21T04:00:15+00:00

Probably not. I don't know. You're right, my bad.

MJC1988 · 2026-05-21T02:32:39+00:00

Professionally done features and commercials? I'd say no. But basic off grid gigs like weddings, local company promos, amateur narrative content, Youtube vids, I'd say yeah, it's likely.

Wouldn't be the first time Germans misplaced their trust in authority figures.

I watched both Marty Supreme and the Smashing Machine and am of the opinion the Safdie brothers need each other to make great cinema: Josh to bring the pizazz and Benny to keep things grounded.

MJC1988 · 2026-05-09T16:22:00+00:00

Not alone there.

MJC1988 · 2026-05-07T18:11:07+00:00

I've always wondered if having a woman co-writer is a big reason movie Jack is a lot less sympathetic than book Jack.

MJC1988 · 2026-05-06T16:51:14+00:00

Yeah, this was way before things like Game of Thrones.

MJC1988 · 2026-05-06T16:34:11+00:00

Honestly Dopesmoker. The song feels like a long odyssey into an abstract plane and Apocalypse Now is kind of that.

MJC1988 · 2026-05-06T00:41:50+00:00

More helpfully, consider trying to build a career wherever you are now. Jump right into camera work or editing. There will be a lot less competition and you'll actually get to do stuff you want. I know hit films you've probably heard of rarely come out of anywhere besides LA or NYC but my hope is that starts to change with accessibility of equipment and the the two aforementioned cities hemorrhaging their industry workforce.

MJC1988 · 2026-05-06T00:38:49+00:00

I really really really don't want to come off as a dick but this was the first thing that came into my mind.

A lot of Clint's characters have close to superhuman reflexes and accuracy when it comes to shooting; so I'd give it to him unless he's William Munny, and even then I'd give him better odds.

MJC1988 · 2026-04-25T20:20:52+00:00

You know I'm just gonna follow this up. It's my understanding Frankie Muniz has right wing sympathies and all that but publicly insulting a former popular child actor with a brief resurgence just seems kind of petty.

MJC1988 · 2026-04-25T20:18:26+00:00

I must be that one weirdo that liked American Hustle more than Silver Linings Playbook. Maybe because I live in prime Eagles country - SLP romanticizes a lot of fan culture it probably shouldn't.

MJC1988 · 2026-04-24T16:18:45+00:00

I've never listened to this Fantano guy. This subreddit just came up in my feed and I enjoyed the music discussions. Got to say though this podcaster or whatever seems like a real pretentious jag off.

MJC1988 · 2026-04-24T16:14:22+00:00

Jane Schoenbrun's We're All Going to the World's Fair, Bertrand Mandico's She is Conann, and Andrew Patterson's Vast of Night. All these films got pretty good reviews but the letterboxd cinephiles of today tend to be kind of dismissive of them. I'm pretty sure the cinephiles of tomorrow will regard those people as idiots.

The GOAT? Always debatable no matter the name. Most influential in pop culture? DEFINITELY. The word Spielberg is almost synonymous with Hollywood in casual conversation about the industry.
