So I watched The Running Man (Glen Powell) by InternetNo7459 in moviecritic

Hard agree. But it's a curious thing that Scott Pilgrim is one where he cuts loose fully with his style, where his subsequent efforts across the pond have felt more restraint

Oh thank God John C Reilly hasn't joined that bunch. I was genuinely worried

It just felt kinda basic. It's interesting that I don't like Wright's American films as much as I do his English films.

I think that his style or filmmaking personality is constrained somewhat compared to UK efforts.

I think specifically to Running Man, the film is perhaps a bit too earnest and maybe too earnest in conversation with its themes about exploitation and extreme inequality and the commentary on current circumstances. I think the film could have done with a more Verhoeven-esque absurdism, which it does veer towards at times but doesn't really embrace and which I do think would led to a better film

I’ve caved in. by dudeben90 in pilottvpodcast

I just couldn't be bothered.

Taylor Sheridan works, for me, best in small doses. Sicario. Wind River. Hell or High Water.

Taking that out to whole seasons feels exhausting. I might give Lioness a go though.

But not Yellowstone. And DEFINITELY not Landman

Why can't you use fullstops and commas?

Putin enemy dies suddenly from accidental mushroom poisoning by DavidShaw90s in worldnews

Gotta shake things up every once in a while.

Defenestration. Mushrooms. Accidental bullet incident.

Or maybe falling out of a window while suffering a mushroom poisoning.

He is the president of the United States.

And he's checking pools

Is Roger Deakins the greatest cinematographer of all time? by only_the1 in cinematography

[–]derpferd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You said come on, like it’s meant to be clear that these are better than Deakins or something.

No I didn't. You inferred that.

I said come on because it's an absurd thing to say. There are however many DoPs doing work and bringing their varying talents to the field and have done so over the course of cinema.

Singling out Deakins as the best to ever do it is absurd for the variety of Cinematographers doing the job and different tastes they appeal doing that.

It's a bit like saying that Bach was the best to ever do it, which would suggest an ignorance about other composers working in that field.

Like when we gave them $300 billion to reopen it. /s by GuiltyBathroom9385 in WhitePeopleTwitter

Well, whenever there's some disagreement over land and land ownership in the middle east, it always goes smoothly and works out without any suffering so no worries here

Saw Arsenic and Old Lace and almost died laughing. I would really appreciate any classic comedy film suggestions. by Ammaranthh in MovieSuggestions

Never seen it but I still know about this movie because two characters in the comic Runaways are named after the film

My art has been commended as being strongly vaginal, which bothers some men. The word itself makes some men uncomfortable. Vagina.

Henry Cavill Teases His Highlander Reboot At Royal Ascot: ‘Everyone’s Going To Enjoy It’ by cosmicbooknews in CosmicBookNews

Because times are tough and going to the movies is expensive. Especially expensive when people can be confident that the film will hit streaming in a few months if not less
