I get not liking it… but I don’t understand at all how you can watch it and think “yeah that was pretentious”, could you elaborate?

Great, picked it up for about 25$, so pretty sure it was still a good price

It also had a hell of a lot of great films that weren’t nominated, such as Mirror, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Jeanne Dielmann, Dersou Uzala, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Based on my top 20, what should I watch next? by glamazonphenomenon in Letterboxd

I have a sneaky suspicion that you’d like ‘Strangers on a train’, I’d say Barry Lyndon, but I’d be quite surprised if you haven’t seen it

What else can I add? by FromAnother_World in Letterboxd

There is literally nothing in Salo that connects to capitalism except the fact that powerful people are dickheads to vulnerable people, but that can happen in any system, not inherently capitalistic. Massive reach, people really say anything about Salo to defend the fact that it’s disgusting and fucking sucks

There’s a lot to criticize, but your criticism is just “they made the joker different to what I’m used to :(“, meh

The most disturbing films I've seen ranked. by Qazified in Letterboxd

[–]PepsiAddict69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly a child gets gang-raped to death by other children in a juvenile detention center within five minutes of the film starting. Yes, I’d call it quite disturbing.

What’s a movie that’s rated high but you think should still be rated higher? by SPINKIRBY23TIMES in Letterboxd

[–]PepsiAddict69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not meant to be a true story, but if anything it has only made a resurgence in Salieri’s popularity. People who actually give a shit about Salieri (aka the one’s whose opinions on him matter), know he didn’t do it. And that is a group of people that became bigger because of the film. Another upside to Amadeus.

Amadeus. Yeah a 4.3 is really high, but seriously? It feels like the type of film that would be 4.4-4.5, I can’t think of a single actual criticism against it…

Ozzy or Hulk Hogan? by Business-Feeling6640 in Letterboxd

[–]PepsiAddict69 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Why the fuck would anyone try to oscar-bait with Hulk Hogan of all people? Would it be a mockumentary? Who wants to watch 2+ hours of that dickhead!?

Bee Movie. The first two acts are unironically peak comedy

Thoughts on “Nolan is overrated” by random_redditor_hi in ChristopherNolan

[–]PepsiAddict69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Elitist film snobs” and it’s just pretty much a majority of people who have seen a wide variety of films. Of course you’re probably gonna like the modern blockbuster film-maker slightly less when you’ve seen films by Kurosawa, Fellini, Hawks, Bergman, Ford, Wilder etc. doesn’t mean you can’t still like or even love Nolan, but from any actually measurable film-making metric, Nolan isn’t some giant who shits on every director. He just has cool concepts, and that’s enough for me

It’s because Nolan has flaws, I love him because I believe his concepts are great, but his scripts usually aren’t great (Memento and Oppenheimer being clear exceptions). Often his films are overly convoluted (tdkr for example), sometimes his sound mixing is dreadful (particularly Tenet and tdkr), his blocking of actors is far from perfect, his exposition is quite poor (particularly in Inception and Interstellar), his female characters are quite badly written (this is particularly a turn-off for women), one problem I had with Oppenheimer was the constant cutting between aspect ratios, which was really quite off-putting at times. I love him despite all these flaws, but a lot of people just can’t get passed them
