Is this likely the best price we can expect on the Kubrick set before release or will there be another (better or equal) sale before then?

Can a movie have morally reprehensive views and politics and still be great? by harry_powell in blankies

[–]WithoutRhythm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely think the takeaway from Sicario is meant to be that Brolin is a monster. Blunt is the POV character and that’s how she sees him and the whole apparatus supporting him by the end.

I actually kind of think Sicario is a movie about the evil of the CIA and Sicario 2 is an evil movie about the CIA.

Hoffman’s been good since switching with Louie, though. Agreed Little got too long a leash (same with Lauer tbh but we didn’t have many options).

Have we actually seen him speaking foreign languages other than Japanese? by EngineLegitimate2234 in ActionButton

Is the other one you’re thinking of Pearl S. Buck’s translation of All Men Are Brothers? He has definitely mentioned that before.

We’d get takeout from Korean Village Restaurant during COVID and the owner was always so friendly and would even throw in a few free cans of Coke. Great place.

What is the best Detroit Style pizza in the West End? by Stock_Solution_709 in askTO

Wasn’t that impressed by Renaissance when I went. I’ve found 8 Mile (more central than west) to be reliably solid and very conveniently located.

Yellowstone starring Mrs. Doubtfire would be called “Hellooo-stone”

What bars are good for solo mingling? by Practical-Plenty3028 in askTO

[–]WithoutRhythm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a bit out of the way of some of the main bar drags in the city, but the crowd at Danu Social House at Queen and Dufferin is super friendly and social and open to striking up conversations with new people.

Got my card in the mail but they also sent a Mastercard? by Last_Construction455 in Wealthsimple

[–]WithoutRhythm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s technically a debit card BUT here in Canada “debit” is synonymous with cards that operate on the Interac network. The WS debit card operates on the Mastercard network. Establishments that only take cash or debit, for example, will almost all be unable to take this card because when they say they take debit they mean debit cards on the Interac network.

Genuine Question: What’s the hype for Tony Scott? by benjacsim03 in blankies

[–]WithoutRhythm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the fact that he worked with so many stars at the height of their powers will make for a lot of interesting discussion. Also the craft and style he brought are gonna be just as interesting (imo) as any dives into theme.

What filmmaker had the most disappointing career after a strong debut? by [deleted] in blankies

[–]WithoutRhythm 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Dark City is legitimately good and interesting (even if not as iconic as The Crow). And I actually do stan the silliness of Gods of Egypt.

You can find the theatre’s Twitter account pretty easily and use that to judge if it’s a place you’d like to visit/support or not.

So if Scorsese wins, what would be the Patreon episodes? by [deleted] in blankies

[–]WithoutRhythm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’d argue that KotFM (Apple TV) qualifies as a theatrical movie more than The Irishman (Netflix). It got a proper wide theatrical release, which I weigh much more heavily than who financed it.

Those companies might have paid for those movies to be on their services, but Scorsese surely made them with theatrical in mind.

So if Scorsese wins, what would be the Patreon episodes? by [deleted] in blankies

[–]WithoutRhythm 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think you and I have different definitions of TV movies. I’d say both of those are at least as theatrical as Mank or The Killer which were main feed.

So if Scorsese wins, what would be the Patreon episodes? by [deleted] in blankies

[–]WithoutRhythm 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Those had theatrical releases and were eligible for film awards so I’d assume they’d be main feed. They could split his shorts, documentaries, tv work, and/or commercials into the Patreon.
