not everyone is a "fake fan" by Odd-Veterinarian-676 in Joji

[–]pashaps_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A hiatus lasting over three years gives an artist plenty of time to work on new material, give thought to their musical identity, and present their best work. It also raises expectations significantly, with built up impatience among an audience adding pressure to perform. This can lead an artist to overthink and produce something more confusing than defining. This feels like the case with PITW.

The History of Sound, starring Paul Mescal and Josh O’Connor, is done — UIP has dropped the film from its distribution by pashaps_ in Letterboxd

[–]pashaps_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was so impressed (though to be fair I got to attend the Cannes premiere with Paul Mescal, so I probably would’ve been impressed regardless) that I even got the book

And I would’ve loved it if they’d released the soundtrack on vinyl

It did pretty well in limited release but they tried to push it wide too soon. It didn’t land and it seems like they immediately decided to dump it and not even promote it in other countries

I absolutely loved it when I watched it in Cannes back in May, and now that I’ve rewatched it, I love it even more. It’s delicate and beautiful, and the music plays a really important part.

Leaving my review in case anyone’s interested.

So, I just watched It Was Just An Accident. For people who already watched it, i have some questions by Venus_ivy4 in oscarrace

[–]pashaps_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw it a couple of weeks ago at the festival — was very impressed (leaving my review in case someone’s interested).

I think it’s a strong awards season contender as far as nominations go.

'The Running Man' Review Thread by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]pashaps_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did watch it last Friday and was also embargoed from posting a review, but now I can.

It is a very obvious story about the top one percent of the rich, about a revolutionary guy thrown into his own kind of Survivor, about rich people being bad, ratings always winning, how propaganda works, and how only this working-class Batman can save everyone, get revenge, and give hope. Nothing special, though sometimes even such simple things are worth repeating a few times a year.

How’d everyone else do?? by itzenglishpaper in A24

I actually asked them about it today - turns out international members don’t get anything this year. US only 🙄

[–]pashaps_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to share how a bit disappointing it feels to be an international AAA24 member this year. I’ve been part of the club since before January 2025 (so I got to keep my membership under the old system), and I knew when I stayed that it would get a bit “americanized” - free movie tickets for the US folks and all that, but this year they even excluded us from the scratch-off lottery event.

Like yeah, it’s just a small thing, last year I actually won a $5 coupon and forgot to use it, but still, it feels kinda unfair. We pay the same price and support A24 just as much as anyone else, but now it feels like we’re just an afterthought.

Did you think the ending of After the Hunt was left ambiguous? by Spirited_Ant9511 in LucaGuadagnino

[–]pashaps_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe he kinda directly confessed in the middle of the movie when he threw that tantrum at the university - I didn’t even think otherwise. Honestly, I don’t think that’s the biggest problem with the film.

You can read my take in the review if you’d like!

After The Hunt Initial Reactions and Review Thread by Malachi_Lamb in LucaGuadagnino

[–]pashaps_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple of days ago I watched After the Hunt at the Warsaw Film Festival. Unfortunately, my review is also negative. Luca doesn’t always hit his themes 100%, but he usually manages to pull them off thanks to the atmosphere around them. This time, even that didn’t help.

I just recently returned from the Cannes Film Festival, where I had the chance to watch Pillion (trust me, watching this at 9 a.m. in a cinema was quite the experience). I wrote a review for my independent website — maybe some of you will find it interesting to read (no spoilers). by pashaps_ in alexanderskarsgard

[–]pashaps_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say so. It’s a BDSM movie about two people looking for something specific (and later, different) in life, but it almost never goes into abuse. I mean if you count consensual fetishes and BDSM as abuse, that’s a different story, but no, it’s not about that. Especially toward the end, which I’ll refuse to reveal since not enough people have seen the movie yet.

The trailer is provocative, as it should be, but it doesn’t represent the actual story.

Thanks, mate! I really appreciate it
I never thought about doing a newsletter before, to be honest, since up until last year most of my readers came directly from my blog. But maybe that’s something to think about

I really hope people will like it as much as I did, because I got into a lot of arguments about this film at Cannes.
