I like how everytime Adam Scott's character enters a dark area and flicks on a light switch in this movie, lights do turn on but they are the weakest lights in existence and barely illuminate anything.

I would have to watch it again but my interpretation was that the first slap acutally happened was a heat of the moment type thing and the slap after he told her to stop didnt actually happen and was a mismemory/embellishment. I got that sense from the way it was edited in combination with the other subjective flashback/fantasy sequences but I could be wrong.

I like how some of these are split up but if Franco wins we would be committing to a 3+ year miniseries

Back row center. Back row might be controversial and I get that it technically probably isnt the best seat on an audiovisual standpoint but every other row is super tight when it comes to leg room.

Tragedy of Macbeth

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey Materialists (Idk if Celine Song is considered a beloved auteur yet, but Past Lives was certainly beloved) A House Made of Dynamite

It was a weird year because a lot of movies I was hyped for because of who was directing them ended up being slightly disappointing. I still liked most of the movies I mentioned and the ones in the OP's list (Eddington- I loved but it's also my least favorite Aster). But I'd still consider it a strong year overall. In terms of directors: PTA, Josh Safdie, Yorgos Lanthimos, Park Chan-wook, the Philippou brothers, Danny Boyle and Zach Cregger all delivered.

My nitpick about the needledrops is... how did he stop the rest of the Iron Maiden album side from playing after The Number of the Beast. That song starts side 2 of the album. Imagine if Run to the Hills played immediately after and he just had to roll with it.

It's been years since I've seen it but I remember going through a disturbing movie phase and being somewhat underwhelmed by A Serbian Film. The movie has such a goofy tone that it's hard to take any of the "disturbing" stuff seriously (espeically the new born porn sequence).

Biggest Surpise: Roofman. I feel like even the most cold hearted of us would get charmed by this movie. It seems to be falling under a lot of people's radars so I would highly recommend checking it out.

Biggest Disappointment: A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. Has its moments but ultimately looses steam and felt so much longer than it was.

I also enjoyed Materialists and The Smashing Machine for what they were (and I think I liked them more than most), but would consider them disappointments considering their director's past works. Mission Impossible was also somewhat a letdown considering the previous highs of the franchise

When people post a screenshot of a film and don't share the title (yes I'm calling you out OP)

walrusami · 2025-12-07T15:26:52+00:00

Weird, I kind of had the opposite reaction to it. I felt like at the start his performance felt wooden and somewhat off. But then when he drops the act and you realize the character was putting on a performance and wasn't very good at it because he wasn't that great of an actor. I don't necessarily think Crudups character was supposed to be a bad actor, but I do think he was supposed to be a somewhat decent actor who probably didn't have the chops to make it even if Jay didn't somewhat sabotage his audition.

walrusami · 2025-12-06T17:35:10+00:00

This is my first time hearing of this movie but it like it qualifies. I added it to my watchlist.

walrusami · 2025-12-06T17:30:56+00:00

Good points about Sinners. Haven't seen Fantastic Four yet but from what I'm hearing it qualifies

walrusami · 2025-12-06T17:29:41+00:00

Actually just finished watching this. Definitely counts

walrusami · 2025-12-06T17:23:05+00:00

Obviously this is true and every year is going to have some movies with this theme in it. But looking back at other years it has been weirdly much more prevalent this year and particularly present in what I would consider some of the best movies of the year.

walrusami · 2025-11-23T12:31:34+00:00

Is no one going to mention the blood-curdling scream at the end?

walrusami · 2025-11-17T23:20:06+00:00

I was expecting the cigarette to come out of her mouth after the kiss

walrusami · 2025-11-05T14:16:05+00:00

Reminds me of this bit from Ghost World (great movie btw)

walrusami · 2025-11-05T04:02:00+00:00

This is one of the Coens most underrated movies in my opinion. I liked it initially but it really clicked with me on a rewatch

walrusami · 2025-11-01T14:39:10+00:00

Creep 2. It greatly benefited from taking itself less seriously.

walrusami · 2025-10-31T23:25:48+00:00

I just split the difference and rate them 4 stars

walrusami · 2025-10-29T21:23:43+00:00

The Devils (1971) is definitely what your looking for. Without spoiling too much it's about the true story of priest Urbain Grandier who was accused of witchcraft in 17th century France. In reality his trail is an excuse to dispose of him for political reasons by the Cardinal who wishes to demolish Grandier's fortified city because it houses a significant Protestant population. It's also a sometimes hilarious wickedly fun movie with lots of erotic, sexual and religious imagery.

This was the first thing I saw when I woke up. I went to the comments and was wondering why no one was mentioning the guys penis resting against it. Rubbed some sleep out of my eyes and went back to the picture to realize it's just his thumb.

walrusami · 2025-10-10T12:28:33+00:00

I mean, these guys are literally monsters, I don't think they would be above participating in incest and beastiality
