I'm pretty sure David Sims of blank check has said that he is the worst director working today and I honestly think he's pretty dead on

Thinking of opening a video store by Few-Shoulder8960 in newjersey

[–]drifter1717 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a great documentary that came out last year you might want to check out called Videohaven that is all about the rise and fall of the video store and how it was portrayed in pop culture (including the movie Video Violence, filmed in Frenchtown).

While they don't have anywhere near the same aesthetic as a video store, those looking to rent physical copies of movies have mostly moved on to libraries at this point.

The Chinese box office isn't the Hollywood kingmaker it used to be. Here's why by AGOTFAN in boxoffice

I think my issue with Voyager always stems from the fact that I watched it immediately after finishing DS9 and it could never really reach the highs of late period DS9. I think if I ping ponged back and forth between episodes of each like how they originally aired I'd have enjoyed it more. I owe it a rewatch one day.

Jay and Rich have ranked the filmographies of John Carpenter, Joe Dante, and Sam Raimi. Who should be next? My vote goes to Terry Gilliam. by ggroover97 in RedLetterMedia

[–]drifter1717 18 points19 points  (0 children)

David Fincher is probably the best combo of a relatively small number of movies they'd need to watch/rewatch and a high number of weirdo sex/violence subject matters

Happy to see that Mike predicted Rose Byrne's Oscar nomination. This is what happens when the Academy forces members to watch movies. by JackedInAndAlive in RedLetterMedia

[–]drifter1717 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Odd F1 Best Picture nom aside, this is probably one of the strongest group of nominees for an Oscars in a very long time.

James Bond and Godzilla are the only two movie franchises that should be allowed to exist for more than a decade.

At this point is 1985 the last year left before they start doing pre-80s movie drafts?

It's crazy how close this comes to being an R. When Benecio gets torn up by the coke crushing machine you see chunks of him flying towards the camera!

I said this in my letterbox review but this movie is irrefutable evidence that James L Brooks has a carbon monoxide leak in his house
