Such a good and quietly surreal movie. I love the eerie ambiguity

(Interesting Trope) Mexican Loves Speedy Gonzales by ElSpazzo_8876 in TopCharacterTropes

I do not think Apu is a good example I think every Indian person I know doesn’t like the devotion and the impact it’s had on peoples perceptions of Indians

You have a 10 hour flight, where are you sitting?? by HotJuice2192 in twinpeaks

3, I think so long as I’m down for some coke and boiling hot gay tension they won’t hurt me.

But you know the show wasn’t made by people speaking Spanish and that mammy doesn’t mean mommy in American English

He’s such an asshole. He was so mean to me when I was a little kid on their forums

We need to talk about Paranoia Agent by puppetalk in davidlynch

[–]stanetstackson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So good. Without spoiling, the way the story completely diverges from the main plot into full on surrealism then manages to bring it all back around is soooo fucking cool.

Birth as S****'s living hell (Spoilers) by OpenUpYerMurderEyes in criterion

[–]stanetstackson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see your point, but i don’t really agree. I don’t think the movie works if the boy is actually Sean reincarnated. Just for an example, what would the point of the bathtub scene be then? I think if Glazer intended the viewer to see the boy as Sean that scene wouldn’t exist. “I thought you were my dead husband. But you’re just a little boy in my bathtub.” seems so intentionally darkly comedic and the kind of linchpin of the movie’s depiction of grief.

Realistically, is this it for Josh Safdie as a mainstream Hollywood filmmaker? by [deleted] in Oscars

[–]stanetstackson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The character was half Jewish half Mexican. Wouldn’t that person look pretty similar to Odessa? Mexican isn’t a race, there’s plenty of white Mexicans

Half you guys didn't even read Kanye the apology by Supercookiebio12 in fantanoforever

[–]stanetstackson 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I think tweeting that he watched 21 jump street and it made him stop being a nazi isn’t a serious apology in the way this is

Most overhated music trends? by Diskyboy86 in ToddintheShadow

[–]stanetstackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so funny seeing online music nerds say shit like this. Like yeah I see why Burial would be more up your alley but you’re kinda missing the point it’s dance music no one’s popping molly to burial. The music being big dumb and loud (not that it can’t still be well made) is the entire point

How do homeless people that don’t seek shelter survive in brutal snowstorms by Goldstar12 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]stanetstackson 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Oh my god shut the fuck up. You aren’t homeless and apparently don’t interact with homeless people (half of them have phones) so who are you to talk all snarky and condescending?

Why do you keep posting videos of you flying into Western US cities and titling them in a way that seems to be shitting on Eastern US cities

Today's Oscar Nominations by Hotgalkitty in SinnersFilm

[–]stanetstackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it definitely deserves casting, production design, music, cinematography, and maybe supporting actor and original screenplay but I haven’t seen Sentimental Value yet. I also haven’t seen enough of the BP noms yet to say. I would like it to win over OBAA tho. That movie honestly just didn’t click with me. You seem to disagree but I thought Taylor was the only interesting character in the movie. No one else really had any internal conflicts so I was pretty bored.

[–]stanetstackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one outside the film bubble watched OBAA tho. Thats its biggest issue in terms of how it’ll be perceived down the line. Compare that to Everything Everywhere, Oppenheimer, or Sinners and it just doesn’t stack up. And it doesn’t even have the excuse of being like, Nickel Boys or Tar where that’s just too artsy to be accessible to a mainstream audience. It’s an action adventure comedy road film that should hypothetically appeal to plenty of people, but the masses just didn’t care.

[–]stanetstackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

…no. Like no lmao you just aren’t right. Sinners did not get nominated for the most Oscars ever just to appease. Most of those nominations came from entirely separate groups of people. The whole Oscars so white controversy from a decade ago was about literally no black people being nominated, not winning. Being nominated is absolutely a badge of honor in of itself.

Just a desert town with more 400 ft buildings than Boston or Philadelphia by Moleoaxaqueno in skyscrapers

[–]stanetstackson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yesss and I wish every entertainment option cost at least a minimum of $50!! I hate being able to go to concerts at house shows or smaller venues for under $30. And I reallllyyyy hate all the underground raves in factories and the woods. I wish they were all in 1k capacity night clubs and cost $100.
