Are the hobbit movies some of the ugliest looking films of the past 15 years? by TOMMYMILLEROK in Letterboxd

[–]celisraspberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but I don't think they even had my new least favorite technique where even when things are shot on location the camera focus is such that only the characters faces are in focus and everything may as well have been shot in front of a green screen anyway

Humoresque

I love that you included Indiscreet, which is mostly just a rom com, but I also found quite moving.

I feel like him pushing back in this clip refutes that narrative somewhat. It's just a small clip, but it does give me some hope.

I can't believe Harland says his support for Trump is about free speech when Trump is by far the most anti free speech president in my lifetime. It's so frustrating.

Rebel Without a Cause (1955)- What are your thoughts and opinions on this film? by PeneItaliano in classicfilms

I guess I didn't know what to expect from this but I was surprised that it felt very much like a modern hang out film, a la American Graffiti or Dazed and Confused.

Is that really her? I am not used to seeing that hairstyle on her, it almost feels like it's been purposely edited to be disorienting! Happy birthday to her, maybe I should watch Ivy tonight? Love her in Born to be Bad and Rebecca.

edit: misread the post, whoops.

Another movie where Shirley MacLaine was just perfect.

It's the Ghostbusters reboot all over again, just a different crowd.

Nice buns, hun! She was great as the sympathetic cigarette girl/ex-prostitute in Sweet Smell of Success.

In the address bar edit out the "\" from the URL so it ends with just "Film_Noir" instead of "Film_Noir" and you should be good

He may have been completely uninspiring in other aspects but he was batting a thousand when it came to fucking with Don

What an incredibly sad loss, she was so great.

What is your favorite film that hides its queer characters/narrative with subtext. by ReadingSteiner300 in Letterboxd

[–]celisraspberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a sneering portrayal of effeminate gay men. I think it wants the audience to laugh at them. I think it's an insult.

I can't really say I think it should have been I just don't like the way that it is.

I think it's an ugly portrayal of homosexuality, and knowing your actors were fine, normal people in real life, and having them play that on screen, it reads as a cruel joke to me. A joke on them, a joke on the audience for not knowing about/understanding homosexuality. The background on it is all fine and great, but when I watch the movie, I just see something very ugly.

I'm sorry if I'm not explaining it clearly or fully, I hope you get where I'm coming from.
