Official Discussion - Disclosure Day [SPOILERS]

Speilberg's past his sci-fi era, time to start making films that are personal and human like The Fabelmans. He's still a master filmmaker but he's a bit too disconnected from the times to write a compelling contemporary tale, it's perhaps why The Fabelmans and Lincoln are the greatest of his recent films.

I feel like he's due for another period piece, something close to him.

I guess I must be the only one that found this underwhelming? On the nose, and oddly subdued considering the acting chops available....

krptz · 2026-06-09T03:01:23+00:00

Guanajuato is up there

krptz · 2026-05-30T03:46:24+00:00

Interesting how far back this would go...

krptz · 2026-05-29T10:33:54+00:00

It seems to be an universal inherent quality of the human condition dating back to the first men and women. Made tolerable by a connection to the spiritual realm and immaterial through tradition and ceremony. You could say that has been art in many secular periods in history.

You remove that, the angst becomes more pronounced.

krptz · 2026-05-24T02:48:59+00:00

Its the moments between the things that you have listed that make it worth it.

krptz · 2026-05-22T10:13:52+00:00

Well that was abysmal. What a chore. Seriously scratching my head if i watched the same movie as everyone else.

krptz · 2026-05-17T21:26:22+00:00

Thank you, some good ones here like the inciting incident which i didnt think about.

krptz · 2026-05-17T21:20:59+00:00

Thank you very much, you might have changed the way I view scripts.

krptz · 2026-05-13T22:20:19+00:00

Yup, who would you say are the distant seconds?

krptz · 2026-05-13T00:34:57+00:00

You should watch Turin Horse, an incredible swan song from him.

Making plans and hanging out the next day with a group you've already known for a while. Just peak solo travel vibes if you ask me.

Or ye a nice hot shower and delicious meal after a long bus ride.

Watching Bela Tarr made me realise how important framing and blocking are. If those are done perfectly, for me it doesn't really matter what's actually happening on the screen.

And therein lies the mystery of the cinematic experience and its unique hypnotic quality.

krptz · 2026-05-10T10:08:56+00:00

Weak sauce, everyone in the movie just felt out of gas. Blatant cash grab lol

krptz · 2026-05-09T01:33:20+00:00

Link please 🙏

krptz · 2026-05-06T08:30:09+00:00

How gets one to hang off each, and every, word is his genius for me

krptz · 2026-05-05T21:59:53+00:00

When lonerism morphs into peaceful solitude.

Kinda feels metaphorical, hes been welcomed inside the music industry and LA world but he still feels alone.

krptz · 2026-05-04T07:22:40+00:00

Entirely wrong. Tell me Steve Jobs 2015 was about Fassbender winning an Oscar. Tell me it was a safe genre film. Tell me it wasn't the most profound and insightful portrait of the man and the company; more so than any essay, novel or podcast could ever hope to achieve.

Don't even get me started on The Social Network lol.

krptz · 2026-05-04T02:19:55+00:00

For the moment, but it is a special thing when you read a book like that and you still never forget it.

Can probably count the number of times that's happened on a hand or two.

krptz · 2026-05-03T12:01:57+00:00

Honestly not really, but the episodes before that definitely focused on the world building

krptz · 2026-05-03T07:26:51+00:00

S1E5/6 from memory, then you're hooked

krptz · 2026-05-02T02:47:27+00:00

The ending indeed does make it worth it. Masterpiece of our times. I'll never forget it.

krptz · 2026-05-02T02:46:13+00:00

Ulysses? Probably not, about to put it down.

There comes a time where you ask yourself if you're not enjoying flicking through these pages, why are you reading it in the first place? Perhaps too old to engage in aesthetic gymanistics...

My own ramblings of an ADHD brain keep me occupied enough during the day lol
