arenāt the two movies ultimately tied to the karmic concept of morality, where the kind and illicit actions come back to raise or lower the standings of the actors, regardless of their political or class standing
Iām boring and accept the class warfare readings of Parasite but canāt look past the surface reading of the dad now literally living off scraps in a bunker and how his action does nothing because itās not a revolution, itās a swelling of contempt at contempt, and all implicit meaning is lost on me

I think Knives Out portrayed a more realistic example of the taint of wealth and privilege in how each family member have fairly distinct political identities and attitudes towards their fatherās estate, although -from personal experience- it really doesnāt take that much for literal (wellā¦metaphorical) knives out over such matters in general, and would play out similarly regardless of whateverās at stake.
I liked it enough but felt it didnāt do quite enough with the premise of the murder mystery of a murder mystery writer. I think I just wanted it to be more convoluted if anything.

mann is a credited producer on ford v ferrari so I donāt think his ferrari movie is happening anymore. same with aviator when scorcese beat him to a howard hughes movie

real talk, I hope yāall are grabbinā a 60fps/HFR rip of Gemini Man cause that shit looks amazing
How do you know that HFR rip is anything other than some guy sticking the 23fps movie in handbrake and ticking the 60fps box. they already tried that shit with the hobbit. no professionalism

apparently the 4k UHD BD release has a 4k60 version on it, so
also from what I recall seeing in theaters, the Paramount logo at the beginning is still 24fps while all the other studio idents are 60fps

Oh yeah I watched The Alchemist Cookbook the other night I will admit it tried my patience a little bit. I might have had too much stuff competing for my attention though. Iām a Bad Movie Watcher when Iām doing it on the computer, sometimes.
Did anyone rip the 120fps version of Gemini Man though? I ended up not doing the 2 hour drive to see it and I still wonder if it would have changed my life.

I would love the day when whatever format theaters are projecting gets cracked. I want the pure uncut source
right now there only seems to be a 1080p60 and a 2160p24 rip circulating, but Iād watch a 2160p60 for the heck of it
ffmpeg can decode and playback the mxfs inside a DCP (the video is the intensive part, players donāt even do realtime XYZ->RGB conversion and the result is a red-shifted picture, sound is just PCM), the issue is breaking the encryption on the DCP itself
Iāve totally just taken unencrypted DCPs and plopped out backup mp4s and mkvs (Iād rather fuck with an mxf of multichannel LPCM than have to do the run around with muxing, mixing and converting Appleās sound format ever again)

I mean in a very technical sense the quoted tweet is true? like, yes, I guess if capitalism is the house then the only way for people to stop wanting to live in the house is for there to not be a house in the first place
but to say parasite is ABOUT getting rid of the house is, as stated above, boring as hell
like, enjoy something for once in your life, person I followed on twitter at some point
I feel like wanting to say that making the house the metaphor for capitalism falls apart if you go far enough but I donāt actually feel like putting in the thought to support such an argument
(also thinking of the house as a stand-in for capitalism makes me hate the epilogue even more)
Iām more of a ārespect the hustleā kind of guy and rich guy didnāt respect the hustle

people bending over backwards to find a hopeful message of the potential for revolution to destroy the repressive architecture of capitalism in parasite when snowpiercer is right there

somehow it doesnāt seem to be necessary for discussions about this movie to outline that parasite is depicting, on the face of it, difference in class in South Korea, which probably helped this movie being so hugely successful as it has been - it works if you are yuropean, asian, american or [insert your country here], and that is a nice feat in itself that is overlooked.
I am sure that there is a lot that iāve missed first time round, but i am sure that you will notice the tiny details that cater to the korean audience with some experience about k-cinema/culture, and i am so looking forward to watch it on BR when it comes out.
