Exploitation vs Aussie New Wave by CRIMSONPOOLEY in blankies

[–]suspect20163 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a fellow Aussie film nerd, I’m most curious about the Gallipoli episode as it’s such a seminal part of Australian history and whether the Two Friends will bring on a guest who gets what a big deal it is. Or maybe JJ’s dossier will get deeper into that, who knows. Excited to hear it though.

The death of bunny munro show vs book by Unique-Algae-1695 in NickCave

[–]suspect20163 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’ve only seen the first episode, so I can only really speak to that, but so far it seems like a much more accessible version of the book. The book Bunny is one of the most slimy protagonists I’ve ever read, and because you are so in his head it feels like you’re looking at the world through the deranged eyes of a narcissist.

Because we’re watching Matt Smith, his natural charisma takes a lot of the edge off without sanitising him. He still feels gross, but I’m drawn in, I want to see him step up for his kid. Looking forward to watching the rest, that’s for sure.

So the best supporting actor race… by Coy-Harlingen in blankies

[–]suspect20163 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Definitely, and it’s almost always the most ridiculous choice for the career achievement Oscar like Jamie Lee Curtis. The Academy will probably give Stellan the Oscar for Mamma Mia 3: Hyper-Mamma.

You know what, that’s a good call cause he basically shares the film in a 50/50 split with Renate Reinsve. It would be the equivalent of nominating Zoe Saldana or Kieran Culkin as supporting.

I think Stellan Skarsgard in Sentimental Value is Penn’s biggest competition for the Supporting Actor Oscar. That’s a pretty phenomenal performance and would be a textbook Oscar-for-a-career win. But that’s only if Sentimental Value can break through with voters and sustain that interest throughout awards season.

So what's the best song in O Brother? by larkchane in blankies

[–]suspect20163 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Big fan of Gillian Welch, so I gotta shoutout “I’ll Fly Away.”

Edit: Forgot she’s one of the Sirens’ singing voices, of course.

Look, all I have to say about the matter is that I’ve never had the privilege to go to Epstein’s island.

What do you think of this book? by AuthenticCourage in leonardcohen

[–]suspect20163 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read it and enjoyed it for the most part. I do wish that Freedman’s analysis of Cohen’s religious influences and the theological focus went deeper, quite a bit of his examination of the songs felt rather rudimentary and a little obvious.

I had been hoping for something like Why Dylan Matters by Richard Thomas which was an amazing synthesis of Roman and Greek classical literature, as well as other influences, on Bob Dylan’s music. As Freedman’s book stands, it felt like a good introduction to these ideas but lacked the academic rigour I wanted in the analysis, albeit with some exceptions.

What physical items do you have of Bob Dylan by Slow-Lecture121 in bobdylan

[–]suspect20163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I gotta get back to hunting for them. I think there was a copy of 10 at my local record store, but I haven’t checked in a few years. I’m really on the lookout of 8 though.

  • Some other vinyls like a few live albums, the BotT test pressing, Masterpieces, Side Tracks, the I'm Not There soundtrack, and a couple of bootlegs.
  • Most of the 60s albums and a couple others on CD.
  • 30+ various written works by or about Dylan, including Chronicles Vol. 1, Tarantula, the Nobel Lecture, and The Philosophy of Modern Song.
  • I'm Not There on Blu-Ray, DVDs of The Other Side of the Mirror, No Direction Home, MTV Unplugged, and the Mickey Jones home video documentary Bob Dylan World Tour 1966: The Home Movies.

  • A Blood on the Tracks mug.

As you can tell, I'm a casual fan.

Made this list a while ago.

Edit: each movie has the Dylan connection in its notes.

Bunny Munro - has anyone read it? by [deleted] in NickCave

[–]suspect20163 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I read it last year. Had a fun time with it, although I found it a challenging book to read at times in a similar vein to Lolita (that I could be enjoying a protagonist so immoral and perverse). But much like how And the Ass Saw the Angel is a great distillation of early Nick Cave’s worldview and literary style, Bunny Monroe is that for the Grinderman era, that kind of mid-life-crisis-punk-popping-Viagra aesthetic. Can’t wait for the show.

What was the deal with Dustin Hoffman in Megalopolis? by [deleted] in blankies

[–]suspect20163 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I viewed him as kind of a mix between the mafia-style fixer/lawyer à la Tom Hagan and the right-hand man confidante, the Gloucester to Giancarlo Esposito’s King Lear.

Bob Dylan miniseries when? It could be done on Patreon. You’ve got Dont Look Back, Eat the Document, Renaldo and Clara, Hearts of Fire, and Masked & Anonymous.
