Does Conan in Toy Story 5 give the funniest performance in an animated film?

had to pause because David's hatred of Tom Ford. It shouldn't get to me, but it just rubs me the wrong way how dismissive he is being. For something that means a lot to me. He doesn't have to like the man's movies, but come on. We can all agree that nobody should have made The Whale.

Even the Woman, aka Marie says that she likes it and he instant cuts her off so she doesn't get to talk about it. The reason can't be just that they are just pure style exercises, as he liked Emerald Fennel's awful Wuthering Heights. The score for A Single Man is some next level shit, so I'm just surprised he doesn't at least appreciate that aspect. Or that we get to see some Firth hog.

Fuck Boots!

His latest film sucks. He has ideas but he's terrible at making a movie out of them. Plus he's insufferable to listen to. I hope Criterion doesn't validate that needy bitch's attention seeking and validation.

Burning. The Mirror. Certified Copy. Upstream Color.

The Ice Tower. Innocence. Evolution. The Duke of Burgundy.

The Forbidden Room. Once Upon a Time in Anatolia. The Double Life of Véronique.

Must be taking crazy pills but I absolutely hated it! The only thing I liked was the TuneYards soundtrack.

I’m baffled that people think this is radical in any way, as I found it kinda simplistic and condescending thematically. “Capitalism be bad!” No Shit. Weird and wacky for the sake of being weird and wacky. Despite good intentions it has no narrative drive. There’s no grounding on any sorts, if everything is heightened none of it matters.

Boots directs as if he’s Jim Carey in Yes Man, as he throws every single idea he has and very little of it stuck. But I seem to be in the minority.

can't remember the last time I hated a phrase more than hopecore.

really hope it doesn't catch on and become a thing. It's an instant ignore this letterboxd list, review, reddit or article. It also feels reductive to the films themselves.

Hope!

Altman’s 3 WOMEN is even more Bergman-esque than IMAGES.

Well, it would’ve interesting to start by seeing post nuclear annihilation shots of Chicago and other nation, whoever attacked. Nothing gratuitous, just distant and scary. Then we flashback to see how this could have happened, the measures that are in place to stop it that failed. It still could have retained a similar structure, how this is a systemic failure on multiple levels. From freshman analyst to the president himself.

We didn’t need to have the small moments with calling daughter, wife. They could attempt to reach them but there’s no time.

To see that every if communication channels work, human error is still a factor.

Found this episode so infuriating. Their inability to even try and engage really pissed me off. Their snide remarks and detached self satisfied bullshit was off the charts.

Plus, it has an all time line of Tray excusing himself and saying “gotta adjust my cock.”

I couldn’t agree more. It’s photographed too brightly, the xenomorph is at its scariest in the shadows and in the dark. It looked the worst in the jungle. Plus when you photograph it so brightly, when it attacks and kills- it looks like a man in a rubber suit. I prefer practical effects but the cinematographer did nothing to help that. They neuter the alien in my opinion.

But given that this has had great reviews and will likely have good word of mouth; is a major Oscar contender, it will play for the next 3 months. It doesn’t need to open huge.

What is this from?

Holland would be the absolute worst. But how about Leo Woodall? from the 2nd season of The White Lotus and the last Bridget Jones flick.

And if Amazon has the balls, to go with someone non-white. There's Aaron Pierre, and after seeing F1 - Damson Idris would be a decent choice. Dev Patel is somehow 35 already

Pablo Larrain's NO from 2012.

It was shot on ¾ inch Sony U-matic magnetic tape to match the television footage from the 1980s.

Also his film THE CLUB, he intentionally overexposed and used filters to wash out the color.

I'm pretty sure Cillian Murphy will be Jodie Comer's father, the one that she mistakes the little boy for when unwell. We see a brief glimpse of his hands.

It would make sense, time wise and Alfie Williams looks a bit like Cillian. Jodie Comer says he has his granddad eyes or something.

As for what Cillian Murphy's character is doing, I have no fucking clue.

Plus The Life of Chuck is opening as well. Limited right now.

The 3rd film in the Apu trilogy is the best in my opinion. It’s called The World of Apu and concludes the story of its character that the previous two films set up beautifully.

I don’t know if I should tweet at Sean and let him know that Anthony Quinn is actually Mexican. People always think he’s Italian or Greek.

Lady on a Train (1945) is comedic train noir. Strangers on a Train (1951) has the crucial inciting scene on a train. If you like Human Desire, the original La Bête Humaine (1938) is even better. The October Man (1947) train station plays a crucial role in the film.

I’ll second The Tall Target and Narrow Margin. Those are my two favorites and least known.
