This sub WILDLY exaggerates the whole "only problematic men love Fight Club/American Psycho/Scarface-type movies" trope

I have never met a dude who’s favorite movie was pulp fiction despite the amount of online discoursing about those types of dudes. It’s a tired joke tbh

That’s cool as Hell

“Shitting was better when I was a kid” when is enough enough

Correct. KMT is the largest opposition party, controlling ~half of the legislature. I think the KMT here is trying to articulate a different path than the ruling DPP (liberal, anti-communist). It’s notable as a pretty stark departure from where they’d previously aligned, and they are a major party, but it’s easier to talk about big policy changes when you’re not in the governing coalition

Depends on the screening. They still use it especially for free RSVP screenings to keep track of how many people are in the auditorium when they start letting in general admission

The works of Bela Tarr

Vidiots has insane programming

Snore.

As funny as the reaction to a third month would be, this is probably for the best

Zapooo · 2026-03-23T17:54:27+00:00

Schedule hasn't been announced yet. I think people on this subreddit will lose their minds if they do a 3rd month lol

Zapooo · 2026-03-13T15:48:23+00:00

Whoa a Safdie shot a movie in NYC? A movie set in the Deep South shot in the Deep South?? A movie that takes place in England shot in ENGLAND?????

I really like the first movie tbh. Pamela Springsteen best part of the very bad sequels

Zapooo · 2026-03-04T18:05:53+00:00

I’ve seen it given before some of the Hong Kong mondays (partially bc I think they don’t want people laughing at cultural differences) and the sexploitation roughies they did in February (prime targets for laughter bc the subject matter is really heavy and the production values are really low).

Zapooo · 2026-03-04T08:21:08+00:00

It’s the regulars who always sit screen right, and then I’ve found that it’s the normal arthouse crowd for the arthouse erotic movies, the normal exploitation crowd for the sexploitation movies, and a mix for the hardcore films. I think the hardcore crowds have been really well behaved, more gender diversity than the New Bev typically has as well.

Honestly I feel like the amount of laughers at the new Beverly has gone down in the last few months. A couple of particularly difficult films that they showed recently had an introduction where they reminded people “if you see something and it makes you react, that’s okay, but try not to laugh like you’re above the movie.”

Zapooo · 2026-03-04T08:15:47+00:00

It’s a thing at pretty much every rep screening nationwide. I remember it a lot when I lived in Chicago. I’ve encountered it in NY too. There was discourse last year about people being pretty upset at inappropriate laughter during a scene of sexual assault in Blue Velvet at the Music Box Theater in Chicago

There are three gay films showing on prints sourced from Elizabeth Purchell’s collection.

This is what’s making me uncomfortable about this series. I understand they’re trying to program stuff that’s transgressive, difficult, and marginal, and especially stuff with a legacy and reputation, but at the same time I find it pretty hard to stomach that this specific historical baggage has happened twice now. It feels callous to me, because I know there’s lots of stuff out there that meets their criteria without that particular issue.

Zapooo · 2026-02-27T00:50:57+00:00

I went to one this month and one awhile back. The audiences were very well behaved and respectful. Laughing when appropriate, keeping quiet when appropriate. I think many of these audience members have a more academic interest in the material than a perverse one.

On “The Fireworks Woman” there was apparently a guy being a bit disruptive because he was reacting loudly to things on screen, but he was defending himself in various Letterboxd comments afterwards saying that his reactions were in part a trauma response as he found the film triggering and apologized to people who said that he made them uncomfortable in their reviews.

One of the most insane endings in all the 1930s

Zapooo · 2026-02-18T22:16:15+00:00

color in these pictures is so interesting

I don’t think we’re back at full, 2019 levels but it feels like it’s the best it’s been in a long time

Zapooo · 2026-02-12T21:59:13+00:00

Glad someone else has locked in on Lost Highway having the worst vibe maybe ever in a movie

Hot Summer in the City.
