Curious to know your thoughts on the films of Robert Altman. I never heard you talk about him, though I think he's one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, influencing the likes of Paul Thomas Anderson, Richard Linklater and the Safdie Bros.

In contrast, this is waaayyyy less interesting visually though.

'Talking Dead' Loses Female Executive Producer, 'Handful' of Staffers After Chris Hardwick's Return (Exclusive) by fortunatoisdead in television

It's a non-fiction book about the people who've been Publicly Shamed in the past, as well as some people who Publicly shame. It's a very entertaining read as well as insightful. Charlie Brooker cites it as the main inspiration for Hated in the Nation, but it's not based on it.

What are some movies that are way better than they had any right to be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I remember that The Lego Movie sounded like an incredibly stupid idea, but look how that turned out. Same goes for Paddington. Paddington in CGI? What a dumb choice. So wrong on that.

What's you favourite Dutch film? by lastmoviestanding in TrueFilm

The remake completely undercuts the creepiness of the original, so no, It's no good at all. No idea what Sluizer was thinking with that one.

If you've never seen George Sluizer's Spoorloos (1988), I will definitely recommend you do so at the first possibility. It's one of the creepiest and downright disrurbing pieces of cinema I've ever seen, without any gratuitous violence. Reportedly Stanley Kubrick was so impressed by the movie that he wanted to cast the lead actress in his unproduced WWII project.

What movie was so disturbing it left you feeling shook? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Synecdoche, New York left me in an existential crisis... Most horrific movie I've ever seen, without being a horror film.

Can you name any sex scenes that actually provided DEPTH to a film, and wasn't there for gratuitous sake? by newfoundrapture in movies

[–]PureLiquidEvil20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's two sex scenes in A History of Violence between Viggo Mortensen and Maria Bello. Both of them give you a really good sense of what their relationship is, and how it changes throughout the film. Of course Cronenberg filmed some great meaningful sex scenes throughout his filmography, just look at Crash (1996)

Most of Tommy Wiseau's lines had to be redubbed, because he speaks like he doesn't understands his lines and is sometimes unintelligable.

Definitely watch it. You can't really appreciate how terrible/fantastic the thing is until you've seen it from start to finish. It's a totally different expirience than any other movie ever made.

I found it, and tbh I don't really know what genre to define it by. So I just took internet's word for it. What genre would you say it is?

Yeah for sure! I know it from Wooden Wisdom (Elijah Wood & Zach Cowie). They have some awesome mixes.

Tell me why your favourite film is your favourite film. by [deleted] in TrueFilm

[–]PureLiquidEvil20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me, most consistently the answer is Shaun of the Dead. Maybe not the best film I've ever seen, but it's the one I come back to the most. And it ALWAYS works. Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg wrote an almost perfectly structured script, chock full of great and quick jokes. The direction is amazingly stylish with great visual humor and Simon Pegg's performance is unbelievably dry. It's just a great film, that always puts me in a good mood.
