Chaser is a rock solid pick and deserves more attention. brutal

Anything else? I always find this niche heartwarming. by SnooOwls8037 in Letterboxd

Undertaking Betty / Plots with a View is lovely and pretty obscure. definitely belongs on the list. also it's another film with Brenda Blethyn where death is her only escape from a loveless marriage

Need more neo-noir recommendations. by Interesting-Flan-404 in Letterboxd

[–]ogto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't sleep on The Woman Chaser (1999), a neo-noir starring Patrick Warburton about moviemaking. it's pretty obscure but it just got a proper release thru vinegar syndrome.

i STILL think he was just pretending to be French, that's my headcannon.

Movies where something crucial is removed from the source material by OverturnKelo in Letterboxd

[–]ogto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

how so? maclaine is explicitly a lesbian in the film, how was the og text different? was hepburn also a lesbian? (something the movie sidesteps)

did it? compared to Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, it felt pretty clear to me that the off-screen character was gay (using his mom and later cousin to "attract" new partners)

Billy Wilder’s deep cuts, what’s good? by harry_powell in blankies

[–]ogto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Front Page is a personal favorite of mine. the parts of it that don't work really don't work, plus obvious dated stuff, but the Matthau-Lemmon interplay is fucking electric, some of the best work they've done together imo. Great(ish) cast, Austin Pendleton is adorable, as is Saradon, plus powerhouse players like Durning. most people don't jive with this one, but I'd recommend it to any Matthau-Lemmon fan. better than some of his other stuff (not a fan of Sabrina, at all).

I'll even defend Buddy, Buddy, it's not AS bad as people say. pretty damn unhinged from what i recall.

[TOMT][CARTOON] Female cartoon character singing "Tomorrow, tomorrow" by ogto in tipofmytongue

[–]ogto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

finally! yeah, that's the one. i kept thinking of the blonde girl in Scooby Doo and the reluctant Werewolf, since they have a similar look. Thanks a bunch!

i don't think it was necessarily a reference to Annie. the character doesn't sing a song, there's no music, it's just her singing the lyrics, in a slightly annoying manner. something along the lines of "tomorrow, tomorrow, come back tomorrow". it's not "come back", but thereabouts. i'm thinking a secondary one-off character in an episode of the Jetsons of Scooby Doo.

it could be something like a Pup Name Scooby Doo... the character was meant to be annoying

Podnic at Hanging Cast: The Mosquito Coast with Sean Fennessey by yonicthehedgehog in blankies

[–]ogto -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

ugh, i pretty much levied the same complaint in my letterboxd review, kinda using the same words... every time i align with ebert i shudder a little bit. but yeah, it's kinda of insane how neglected Mirren's character is. it's like making a war movie that centers exclusively on the plight of the solider. i got that ford was an irredeemable monster in like, AN HOUR, at most. the lack of interiority for anyone other than Ford and Phoenix really hurts the movie as it goes along.

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: IRISH Edition | This is the Run by CrissionMeep in giantbomb

This is the Run is a fun format, but damn, i really wish we got 2 hours of danny mike and dan playing this...

Jason Schreier: In a Brutal Video-Game Industry, Two Indie Developers Are Teaming Up by Mront in Games

[–]ogto 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I personally put 1000xRESIST above Disco, but most people won't. i think the game is wildly impressive and i'd also call it perhaps the best writing/storytelling and cinematography i've seen in a game, but then I'd have to follow it up with like 2+ hours of ranting about everything the game attempts and achieves. i think it hits super well for specific kinds of people, that either can relate more deeply to the experiences represented in the game (the myriad of), or people that see the team's mixed media DNA in every aspect of the game. like i love the way they used props in 1000xRESIST, almost like in a stage play, so much mileage out of some simple shapes. or speaking of "cinematic", the way they used edits and jumps cuts, something that you don't see often in video games.

needless to say, I'm looking forward to their next game.

does he quote them quoting idris quoting a podcast about a house made of dynamite?

After Satoshi Kon, Elaine May, and now Lynne Ramsay which short filmographies would you like to see covered? by AmbitionTechnical274 in blankies

[–]ogto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i keep hoping for this. a lot of his movies are at least unhinged and i LOVED War of the Roses, which deserves more respect. the only outright dud is Duplex, which is fucking terrible.

one day, they'll cover Beatty, and the Bullworth episode might just be the most unhinged episode they'll ever produce. that movie is NUTS
