which of those are your favourites? From reviewing the list I disliked or avoided almost all of them
itās 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 itās any consolation I didnāt 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 āanother nakedly autobiographical and earnest film production from a male comic?ā Pffffft!
which is not better
I thought The Big Sick was very likable! Havenāt seen those moody New England boys yet, though.
kevin smith sucks
I think thereās 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. Itās 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 Iāve heard these titles before? But I havenāt 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.
zack and miri make a porno is a judd apatow tribute thats why its good
You Were Never Really Here owns
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 Amazonās hit rate to A24ās though. No distributor in the past 20 years can match the streak those guys have been on.
And in six years, nonetheless, holy shit. Iāve 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 canāt save that one
From this list itās:
- Chi-Raq: well somebodyās gotta fund Spike Lee
- Neon Demon: heck yeah
- The Handmaiden: excellent
- Manchester by the Sea: excellent
- Lost City of Z: I have a thing for Aguirrelikes
- You Were Never Really Here: rock hard
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 wouldnāt have it any other way
