MUWT 2: The Quickening

which of those are your favourites? From reviewing the list I disliked or avoided almost all of them

itā€™s me

I am the bad person here who liked Manchester by the Sea and The Big Sick

I also really, really dug Paterson and liked of what I saw of Last Flag Flying

if itā€™s any consolation I didnā€™t see the big sick on the basis of having read the new yorker profile of nanjiani when it was in production and saying to myself ā€œanother nakedly autobiographical and earnest film production from a male comic?ā€ Pffffft!

which is not better

I thought The Big Sick was very likable! Havenā€™t seen those moody New England boys yet, though.

I think thereā€™s a strong case to be made that every single Kevin Smith movie is worse than the last

The Neon Demon took me about a year to fully process. Itā€™s great but definitely not for everyone.

Zack & Miri Make a Porno is cuter than shit like Chasing Amy.

I never saw nothing he made after that though. I guess Iā€™ve heard these titles before? But I havenā€™t heard a single thing about them positive or negative, which probably says everything I need to know

yeah I have a soft spot for clerks 2 even

Seeing Neon Demon in an empty theater in the outer ring burbs of Clevo with a giant loud thumping stereo was a peak booji experience.

The Handmaiden fucking rules. I saw it the day after the 2016 election and it made me feel like I could still expect great things from the world even at a moment of despair.

I definitely would not compare Amazonā€™s hit rate to A24ā€™s though. No distributor in the past 20 years can match the streak those guys have been on.

And in six years, nonetheless, holy shit. Iā€™ve never heard of them before, but have seen a few of their movies, and have way more on my list to catch if they hit prime/netflix when i get arouns to renew my subscription.

But. Re: Distribution.
Why the hell has Climax and Silver lake started in the same week, the latter is already gone from cinemas here, have to check whether i can still catch Climax!

Some things are beyond the pale, Felix.

I mean Rosario Dawson is kee-yute! but even she canā€™t save that one

Paterson & Wiener Dog are fantastic

Wiener Dog disappointed me, I was so excited about the cast and I found it too bleak even for Solondz

Fair though I wouldnā€™t have it any other way
