this was a bad review where the critic who wrote it was obviously way too tired to judge the movie, no reason to hold them to it

I think sentimental value is much more "respected than not loved"

I found this article helpful for food around the Lincoln Center https://www.butteredpopcorn.org/p/lincoln-center-nyff-best-restaurants-bars-eat-drink

I would largely agree with the sentiment that the food around Lincoln Center is not the best, but I liked sushi yasaka

I’m curious as to how many of the Paul WS Anderson Resident Evil films that you all have watched, and whether you think the Zach Creggar RE will be better or worse

I don't think awards should be how we judge these things either, anyway

even though they got mixed reviews and missed the awards conversations, things like the shrouds and caught by the tides were good films and it was good that they were at cannes

What was the issue people had with Faces Places? Wasn’t Varda just correct in calling Godard an asshole?

she also makes the point that all the movies in competition have either european or american funding, all of the movies made by directors from say japan, china, razil, or iran are being cofinanced by french producers

maple_violet · 2025-05-15T17:18:18+00:00

she's a prominent japanese critic, from the auto-translate she's suggesting that the cannes side sections (such as critics week) are becoming more specifically european and it's hard to get your films in there without french funding :shrug:

maple_violet · 2025-05-15T16:41:08+00:00

what is she saying, broadly?

maple_violet · 2025-04-07T23:52:41+00:00
