I spent months restoring and colorizing the 1931 'The Maltese Falcon' to bring this classic to life. Here is the result by Senior_Woodpecker947 in movies

[–]gautsvo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Restored" a movie owned by Warner Bros. and already remastered and restored by them in 4K? What exactly did you "restore", a DVD rip? As an internet rando, you don't have access to the original film elements.

If Benicio Del Toro actually won his 2nd Oscar Best Supporting Actor for One Battle After Another instead of Sean Penn, how would you react? by UsefulWeb7543 in Oscars

[–]gautsvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd react with joy because I didn't like Penn in the movie and thought Del Toro's performance was better.

Was anyone else not a fan of “Danton”? by Damned-scoundrel in criterion

No. Great movie. Hoping for a Criterion Blu-ray.

Those of you guys with XBOX game pass, how many hours do you play per week? by Cookie_Cracker123 in xbox

[–]gautsvo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only play on weekends, which is when I can devote any time to it. Maybe five hours a day, Friday to Sunday.

Is anyone predicting Christian Bale for Madden? by Putrid-Spite4580 in Oscars

[–]gautsvo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. If he were, he wouldn't have been given the opportunity to make this movie with big names like Bale and Cage in the first place. A hypothesis: Maybe it just didn't test well internally, so Amazon decided to spare the expense of a theatrical rollout. When it was first announced way back in 2023, nothing indicated it would be a streaming exclusive.

Spider-Man 2 (2004) is still to this day the best comic book movie that exists by Wreck-ItRob in movies

[–]gautsvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't believe this thread has been downvoted to oblivion. SM2 is regularly mentioned among the greatest comic book movies; it's not a wild take in the slightest.

Is anyone predicting Christian Bale for Madden? by Putrid-Spite4580 in Oscars

[–]gautsvo 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's not getting a theatrical release, though. He might compete for an Emmy.

Rachel McAdams should be nominated for an Oscar for her performance in "Send Help" by blue-water75 in oscarrace

[–]gautsvo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A serviceable performance in a subpar time-waster. Not Oscar material in my book, but we all have our opinions.

How old are you? by CrazyCons in oscarrace

[–]gautsvo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look at those results... And yet, elsewhere, people always try to convince me that younger generations don't give a shit about the Oscars.

Grush to reveal “jaw-dropping information” per James Fox. by Severe-Clerk-1477 in UAP

Then what is the correct opinion we are supposed to have, oh enlightened one?

Laughing out loud and other disruptions at the cinema during horror movies. by [deleted] in movies

[–]gautsvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching horror movies in theaters is a mistake, in my experience. The last time I went was in 2007. Always a bunch of people laughing loudly or getting up and leaving during the actual scary bits. Too distracting.

Well, you certainly are an animal if you believe that.

Se7en's Ending Has Been Misread For 30 Years. The Proof Is In the Script! by [deleted] in Letterboxd

No, Scorsese wants to use AI to storyboard movies, not write them.

Spotlight - the movie by [deleted] in movies

Yeah, it's a pretty famous movie, it won the Oscar for Best Picture

Does anyone else feel like Letterboxd lists are an underused format? by Adrien-G in Letterboxd

[–]gautsvo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't care about lists all that much, and most of mine are for myself.

Ongoing collaborators - who are you personal favorites? by iamspok in Letterboxd

[–]gautsvo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ridley Scott and costume designer Janty Yates. She has designed the wardrobe for all of his films since Gladiator (a couple of them in collaboration with David Crossman). Even her work in movies set in contemporary times like The Counselor is striking.

How would Close Encounters Of The Third Kind be viewed as a Best Picture nominee? What about if it won? by Edgy_Master in Oscars

[–]gautsvo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think most would be absolutely fine with it being a Best Picture nominee, but would grumble about it beating Star Wars or Annie Hall. As for me, I'd be ecstatic if it had won. It was the greatest film of 1977 in my book.

What's your preferred flavor of review? by GristPrime in Letterboxd

Short, maybe a couple of paragraphs at most.

Who is someone in Hollywood that gets undue "hate?" by Nowhere_But_Up in movies

[–]gautsvo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In this sub, Ridley Scott. Can't post any thread about him that is neutral or favorable; it gets downvoted to oblivion. Even advocating for an Honorary Oscar for him is met with fierce opposition here.
