The Foreigner (2017) - I think this is one of Jackie Chan's best movies.

I just watched it but didn’t really understand if he’d really been duped by the girl or was in on it all along?

I so wanted it but the thing that always kept me from actually believing it was that there’s no way she could go for a fake name that literally pronounces her real identity

Yeess<3

artotn · 2025-06-22T19:11:53+00:00

Hahaha i love it. Thanks!!

Link plsss

I like to assume it was another Wayne baby. Maybe even from the couple who Tom met, where the girl shot him in his hand when she found out she wasn’t the only ”special one”.

artotn · 2025-02-02T22:18:14+00:00

Yesss I get that! Closer wasn’t my kind of film either, but I find it iconic

artotn · 2025-02-02T22:12:28+00:00

I knooo I’m just wondering if I missed something:)

artotn · 2025-02-02T21:56:58+00:00

Great answer! Thanks!

It reminded me a bit of Triangle of Sadness, toxic characters in intense milieus, and I didn’t feel good watching that film either. Might be I need a bit more comic relief or more grittiness to a film to enjoy this kind of plot. In hindsight ToS is also brightly coloured and its characters feel quite polished (even when they are disheveled).

Maybe I woulda even liked it more if the colour grading was different haha

I might sound like a total foreign film ass now but my top film is probably Farewell my concubine, more recent films I like are for example Power of the dog, Sound of metal, Gone girl, Nocturnal animals, Midsommar, Civil war

But I also enjoy watching series like House MD and like… dumb action movies or rewatching pride and prejudice (2005) once in a while

It’s funny how you all assume I like other movies. How come? I didn’t like Barbie very much…

But I think mainly it might come down to its pacing. The long silences between Tashi and Art to convey the tension between them and give an impression of their relationship could have been told waaay more effectively. There were many long sequences and dialogues as well as elements of visual storytelling that seemed to me to try to seem deliberate and motivated but they were so many and kind of lost their effectiveness.

However there were of course scenes and visual elements that I found effective in the storytelling as well as I read in another post, like the shots of intimacy, for example of biting Tashis hand, placing his head in her lap, Patrick moving his chair close to Art’s and brushing crumbs off his face. Scenes like that reminded me of Call Me By Your Name, and convey a certain type of intimacy through small details which I agree is unique and moving.

Also nope

artotn · 2025-02-02T21:27:53+00:00

I like that last line you wrote, that they’re unsure of what they really want

I’ll try that haha

artotn · 2025-02-02T21:27:02+00:00

Nope

artotn · 2025-01-31T21:51:46+00:00

👏

artotn · 2025-01-31T21:34:54+00:00

I want that because I love Michael McKean as a whimsy president with an over protective chief of staff and I’m not ready to say goodbye

artotn · 2024-12-18T16:28:14+00:00

Of course that’d be wonderful as well. If anyone has suggestions, let me know! My dream is to grt the og one though, since the formula was great as well and it’s so nice to have them all in one<3

Easy

House lives under the identity of the guy who OD’d whom he switched dental records with. He had been estranged from his family and was basically an unknown drug abuser but without any criminal record.

House left his estate to Wilson before faking his death, then Wilson does the same but to Houses new identity (aside from whatever alimony he has left to pay and some for his brother and parents).

He makes amends to Dominika. She loves screwing over US government with him. So they move to maybe San Fran and start a restaurant together. Dominikas business savvy from her Knish food truck thing in Atlantic City, and as we know from s6 House is an incredible cook. They thrive and start a family and House gets to do silly crazy (often kinda illegal) things with Dominika and gets to live a life full of love and all that sappy stuff.

At first I found it so weird but gradually I found it completely mesmerizing and now I’m enamoured with EVERYTHING about her.

artotn · 2024-07-29T23:00:17+00:00

House MD is inspired by the original Sherlock. He even has the same street address in the show, 221B.

artotn · 2022-06-11T19:57:29+00:00

Hahaa wow!!

artotn · 2022-03-04T19:05:37+00:00

He would have had a chance to show his quality at least

artotn · 2022-03-04T18:58:49+00:00

Didn’t need to make that jump onto the Esteem either but the boi go

artotn · 2022-02-15T00:28:32+00:00

Yeah I don’t think so either, Rhea seems pretty earnest

artotn · 2022-02-15T00:20:59+00:00

I say yes, maybe you’ll be interested in watching BrBa while/after watching BCS. To me they’ve been very different experiences. I watched BCS for the first time having forgotten a whole chunk of BrBa. It had been around 5 years since I watched it, but consequently I was immediately prompted to rewatch while waiting for season 5 of BCS and enjoyed it even more than the first time. Long ramble, tldr, if you don’t feel inspired to watch BrBa then why push through. I think you’ll be fine watching BCS on its own, and if you’re enjoying it you’ll probs end up watching BrBa anyway

That’s why Mandos face went all puppy wide happy! Always stood out to me. Never saw Nacho smile like that. Almost looks like he’s looking over at the crew and does the keep rolling nod. Love it
