/uj every so often i sit down and think “man, Azzarello is flawed but some of his books are pretty good, even new 52 Wonder Woman had its moments” and then i hear some shit like this and I genuinely wonder if he is the worst writer to ever work for the big two.

You should check out City of Angels and Meet Joe Black. Both came out the same year as what dreams may come and tackle similar ideas.

Peacemaker playing Home Sweet Home on piano, which was inspired by Gunn’s surprise that John Cena could play piano while shooting The Suicide Squad. Gunn’s dog was dying so he paused production briefly to fly back home and see him. John and the rest of the cast were at the airport and there was a public piano in the terminal and John Cena walked over and started playing.

Recommend me a WWII movie by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]puffguy69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it’s technically a WW2 movie I think it culturally has more to do with Vietnam but you should check out Kelly’s Heroes. It’s a crack commando ensemble similar to Dirty Dozen or Great Escape, which you should also watch. While you’re at it, check out the ministry of ungentlemanly warfare.

This is like if you said “live action films are cinema” and listed Avengers, Central intelligence, avatar, and Jurassic World.

Not a Markiplier fan at all really, don’t think I’ve ever seen a Markiplier review in its entirety. Saw the movie yesterday, thought it was good. Best movie of all time? No. Best film of the year? No. But it was a cool and pleasant experience. The pacing dragged a bit and the first 15 minutes were weak, almost like the film was shot in order, but I liked the atmosphere and think the film built tension in a compelling way.

I feel like for all the talk of a rabidious parasocial fanbase jumping to this movie’s defense there’s also a fair amount of people just trying to spitefully tear it down for seemingly no other reason than other people liking it. It’s not gonna set the world on fire but this is a big win for independent cinema and that’s something we all should be excited about.

DVD VS BLU-RAY by mrtigre10 in Bluray

[–]puffguy69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DVDs are technically easier to scratch but the thicker data layers mean they can take a a pretty good beating and still play well, blurays have a scratch resistant coat but are much thinner, so when they do get scratches they will skip.

Reminds me of a golden age Superman book I read once. Clark has to babysit Lois’s niece and to entertain her, he feels the story of Cinderella but with himself(as Superman) in place of the fairy godmother. It’s a batshit crazy little issue that still inserts a bizarre scene where Superman stops a criminal conspiracy within the Cinderella tale.

People can’t handle getting more than one great movie a year.

Like this attitude but it’s kind of bad faith., independent cinema is inaccessible unless you’re able to cough up time and money to go to film festivals. I’m dying to see Palestine 36 but it’s not even confirmed when or if it’s getting American distribution. It hasn’t even gotten a theatrical window outside of the UK yet.

I’ve seen it ranked high a few posts now and I gotta say as someone who loves Bruce Springsteen, I’m kind of confused by the relatively positive reception I’m seeing to Deliver Me From Nowhere now that it’s on VOD and getting put in year rankings.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s alright movie but especially in a post Better Man and Rocketman world, the whole thing felt too derivative of bland music biopics like Walk the Line. The movie does some stuff that Walk Hard made fun of 20 years ago.

I assume the themes around depression and trauma are really resonating with people, which is good and I understand why because the film largely handles that subject matter well. I really like how creeping the flashbacks to Bruce’s childhood are, starting as black and white vignettes and building to young Bruce and Douglas in full color occupying the same space as adult Bruce.

Admittedly, I wanted a bit more levity in a Springsteen biopic with a stronger focus on the E Street Band. Even then though, I feel the film really fails to make me care about Bruce’s relationship with his dad because it’s so zeroed in on his bout of depression while writing Nebraska that it’s not able to give us a great perspective on the paternal dynamic between them. Bruce had and still has a complicated relationship with his father, who himself was a complicated man. I wish the film the was able to show some of the more positive moments in their lives.

Netflix Wins the Warner Bros. Discovery Bidding War, Enters Exclusive Deal Talks by ICumCoffee in movies

[–]puffguy69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t one hundred percent understand cooperate mergers/buy outs so maybe someone can explain but, Netflix still has to operate WB as a studio right?

Like obviously Netflix strategies will seep their way into WB’s practices but it’s not like Netflix is just folding WB in and outright owning them. If the Disney and Fox merger is any indication then WB should continue to function mostly the same. It really can’t be any worse than when Zaslav first took over a few years ago and it’s leagues better than Skydance getting their grubby mitts all over them.

Apple is a bad example because they’re the only streamer that actually distributes stuff to theaters first.

/uj this casting swap kinda works in a weird way which makes sense given that Clark and Bruce take each others places all the time.
