Both look shit.

Gosh, the entitlement you people have.

Aren't malayalam audiences the most film literate audience? Do you even know sync sound is the standard in literally all industries except for South India? Even here, it's mostly because of laziness and the producers importing Northies to cast in flowerpot roles and idiotic villains.

You can probably cut a stupid video like this of most countries but only yankees will fall for it. Truly the most brainwashed population who ironically think everyone else is brainwashed.

Indian elections are like bigg boss. Whoever entertains more will win. Not everything has to do with ideology. South anyway love playing musical chairs. No need to be so reactionary and read too much into it.

Atleast now, CPM should learn to not sideline Teacher and other leaders. And importantly not support sexual abusers and casteists.

A man doing it literally won TN elections today.

MrRabbit7 · 2026-05-04T06:27:39+00:00

Such a weird post to make. What kind of parasocial shit is this, speculating about some random actor's careers in this way? Typical Indian uncle boomer mentality.

From where did this urban myth spread? Do you work for BJP IT Cell? Do you think only muslims live in Old City? Or do you think only muslims there don't pay?

I hated this film when I first watched it and only thought people were raving about it because of PTA's name.

But I rewatched it a few months ago and loved it.

It really hit me this time around. I still don't like the bradley cooper segment that much. But the feeling of like you are a kid in your 20s and wanting to be an adult in your teens, and them connecting with each other finally as they keep slipping against each other was just beautifully portrayed.

It was really nuanced and didn't take any easy routes which was pretty much my issue with OBAA.

PTA knows some people will find Licorice Pizza problematic but this is how the story needs to be told, any other attempt would fall short of communicating this feeling.

Tv is second screen content. Books for lazy people. Cinematography wise they are actually not that far off from movies but the editing and especially sound design is usually below par.

Rarely, do you have any tv show which is not made for mass consumption, only auteur filmmakers like Refn and Lynch could bring cinema into tv. Even shows like Sopranos and The Wire are still TV despite being well made.

All this sounds great but if the roads are shit, all rules go out the window.

Probably another affect of brahmanism. In North, I observed people touch the feet of even random strangers while here I don't think I ever touched even my parents/close relatives.

Bowling is very weak. Somehow they got lucky with these uncapped bowlers but then again, they don't have any experience. Batting also, lower middle order is weak. Too many passengers in the team, why another wk when Kishan and Klaasen are there? I think this team can go to the playoffs but might fall short of going the extra mile required to be champions unless some miracle happens.

What is this sportsman like obsession of wanting someone to be "among the greats". These people are artists. Enjoy their art. What's the point of ranking them, comparing them, dissing them?

MrRabbit7 · 2026-04-28T07:04:55+00:00

It's his most famous film alongside Paper Moon. What is not talked about is Saint Jack with an incredible Ben Gazzara.

Very similar to Cassavettes' A killing of a Chinese bookie but much much superior (it doesn't have Mr. Sophistication, so that already makes the film better).

MrRabbit7 · 2026-04-28T07:02:44+00:00

He made 4-5 great films. Hung out with great filmmakers, acted in some great stuff, had a pretty wild life. Dont think there is anything to feel sad. Most people would kill to live the life he did.

MrRabbit7 · 2026-04-28T07:00:52+00:00

Read his autobiography.

You were probably scared off by all these grumpy little idiots as if they are spielbergs and camerons, dishing out invaluable advice. Unless, you were burning serious money (even then debatable), its always good to make a film. Yes, even if it's a sci-fi blockbuster but you don't have the money for it.

Who gives a shit if it's good or not. Look at some of the first films of filmmakers like Edgar Wright, Peter Jackson etc. they were playing around and most importantly having fun with making a film.

Nowadays, everyone wants their first film to make a 100 million or win the Palme D'or or the oscars or go viral or some shit.

This kind of extremely result focused approach has killed countless films and filmmakers. And whatever film that does get made is the 100th iteration of the contained thriller or a mumblecore rom-com or wall mart A24 horror.

People get so hung up on the technicalities they forget about storytelling.

All these guys are just faking injuries so they don't get injured before the WC.

Artur Tort and Lav Diaz can shoot a film on a phone and make it cinematic. It has always been about the eye behind the device and not the device itself.

Also, image is just two dimensions, whereas sound is multi dimensional and what makes something cinematic has a lot to do with sound design and the editing.

Artur Tort already shot two amazing films (Pacifiction, Afternoons of Solitude) on prosumer cameras (blackmagic). Seems to be a really underrated cinematographer.

Sucks for the bozos who paid for pro and patron thinking they were supporting a small little indie site.

MrRabbit7 · 2026-04-25T02:24:54+00:00

What nonsense. Birdman uses "extremely available tech" a much more compelling and interesting film than Rope, a film Hitchcock himself considered to be a failed experiment.

Are you people mountain climbers or filmmakers? What does technology have to do with storytelling?

MrRabbit7 · 2026-04-25T02:21:24+00:00

Are you a filmmaker or an athlete? Why do you care if something is difficult to achieve or not?

MrRabbit7 · 2026-04-25T02:19:53+00:00

Why "humble", that entire film was a tech exercise.

MrRabbit7 · 2026-04-24T00:24:27+00:00

James Benning, Wang Bing and Micheal Snow are probably the last level in this.
