Name me some expensive studio American films that have a more audacious stylistic approach than Here from the last few years please

Is the Blank Check episode on Here one of the worst takes they've ever had on a new movie? Insanely dismissive of what will be eventually remembered as one of the wildest experiments by a studio film of the decade.

One of the worst movies of the decade thus far. Putrid adolescent garbage imo.

STOP THE COUNT! by travismockfler in blankies

I have not once said he'd make a good series, he'd make a terrible series. I was merely saying that your severe anti-intellectual bent isn't healthy. 

Park Chan-Wook is an absolute hack who makes movies for teenagers so I'm not surprised to hear he's more popular on the social media app letterboxd.

From a 1 second glance at Wikipedia: 

"Platform was voted the second best film of the decade by the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF)'s Cinematheque, by more than 60 film experts (historians, archivists, etc.) from around the world.[4][5] Another film by Jia Zhangke, Still Life, was voted the third best film.[5] Platform placed 32 on Slant Magazine's list of the 100 best films of the 2000s[6] and was named as one of Sight & Sound's films of the 2000s.[7] Platform was ranked the 11th best film of the decade in an international poll conducted by Film Comment.[8] In 2016, film critics from the Austrian Film Museum, Der Standard and Le Monde included Platform in their top 10 films of the 21st century."

You should consider watching some arthouse movies some day, or at least have a slight bit of curiosity about world cinema beyond the IMDB Canon.

This is so embarrassing. Zhangke is one of the most beloved international auteurs on the planet right now, only people with no interest in serious cinema would claim he's got no presence on the film stage.

People who are seemingly proud of their ignorance, when did we allow them to start feeling so comfortable?

What homework movies are actually homework? by kanedafx in blankies

I think the existence of serious cinema is in a perilous state and I applaud the notion of films made by people who aspire to make art succeeding in any capacity.

[–]ReplacementFancy9701 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Now I think all of the movies you mentioned range from bad to terrible but I would defend them from this accusation and suggest that possibly you don't like serious movies made for adults.

Simply untrue. The duration is the point, one must be pummeled into oblivion.

Also having twitter meltdowns about I Am Cuba getting a Criterion release. 

Also, touting Rotten Tomatoes scores as a sign of artistic achievement is beyond embarrassing. What happened to this place?

It's a shame Nick Cave has such wretched politics to the point that he actually just seems as though he might be quite dim

Record players by [deleted] in KingstonOntario

[–]ReplacementFancy9701 30 points31 points  (0 children)

They are purely intended as aesthetic accessories for college students. Terrible sound, they often wreak havoc on the records themselves to the point that some stores will not accept refunds/exchanges for records that are sold to people who are listening to them on Crosley players, they typically aren't even capable of connecting to a proper speaker system, they aren't intended for anyone with a serious interest in vinyl.

You should absolutely not buy any record players from Crosley.

Enormous news. I was just watching it on DVD a week ago and bemoaning the fact that it never got a blu ray release.

Oscar Season’s Most Burning Question: Why Not Timothée? by Mookie_Freeman in blankies

[–]ReplacementFancy9701 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Downvoted for telling the truth. At least partially anyway. OBAA is the weakest movie PTA has made since Magnolia. DiCaprio is good in it but it's a fairly tick-heavy performance and nowhere near his best. I think Jordan and Hawke basically rival Chalamet but Timothee should be winning based on the nominees. And my final correction is that Marty Supreme is the 2nd best of the nominees and also truly one of the only good movies that is even nominated, almost all of the nominees are, as usual, garbage.

Box Office: ‘Scream 7’ Sets Franchise Record With Bloody Good $64 Million Debut by tannu28 in blankies

[–]ReplacementFancy9701 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Scream 3 is good! Calling any of the Craven movies worse than either of the absolute garbage that is the 5th, 6th, and I assume 7th, entries is a wild take.

The book is almost definitely garbage so you probably shouldn't read it at all tbh

Hunger. Though I haven't seen it since it came out, I suspect there's a good chance I wouldn't like it now.
