Heeeeehhhh?

Why do people think I’m mad or upset?

Just participating. Like what you want.

Or wait, no, I’m angry that someone I don’t know doesn’t like kill bill ... I don’t realize that millions of people dislike everything I like, and I’m personally invested in flipping you.

It did come across as a bit of a rant, but anyway. I think there are two Tarantinos: pre and post Kill Bill. I suppose you can like both or neither but there's certainly grounds for liking one while not being interested in the other.

Sure, that’s just how taste works.

Personally, I’ve lost all interest in Reservoir Dogs, and think it’s way overrated. I’d rank it below Django Unchained... maybe even below The Thing Out West... Er... Hateful 8.

Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown are top-notch films. Inglorious and Django are really really good films that will probably be considered classics someday, but are not at the level of Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown.

Kill Bill is also a really good film, in my opinion, for completely different reasons.

What's the word on Reign of Fire? Anyone here seen this before?

I managed about 20 minutes before giving up on it.

That...

Looks terrible.

Dude, they fight fuckin dragons with helicopters and tanks!

Weep in yr grave Fellini

roflmao

needs more rep!!

Honestly sounds a little cooler now, also nice burn.

^ love ya', bud

Hereditary.

Scary as fuck

Was it, like, “gets in your bones” scary? Deeply upsetting and unnerving scary in a way that fucks you up for a while after?

I got that vibe after about 15 minutes and decided to postpone. Too fragile.

Anti-Christ fucked me up for like 6 months. Not trying to go back there.

Raiders of the Lost Ark followed by 2005's Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy due to discussion with friends that happened while watching Raiders.

It reminded me of Kill List a bit. Very slow burn. Once it gets there, it’s a pretty unsettling movie.

As much fun as the first two movies, if not more so. What a fun franchise this turned out to be overall. I enjoy imagining Sandler in the booth voicing Dracula. Also so glad Mel Brooks is still outputting creatively at his age.



A somewhat unique premise (unless you've seen Argento's Stendhal Syndrome) which fails to be interesting in every regard. Bland as a spiritual successor to Nightcrawler, milquetoast as a send up of pretentious art culture (Ghost World, Pecker, or Art School Confidential this is not), and an utter snooze as horror schlock. Watch Velvet Buzzsaw, and yawn through some lame ass deaths.

Nearly every character is purposefully unlikable and shallow, leaving you wondering why the hell you're even bothering to watch them. What a waste of John Malkovich also. Could he phone it in more here? Oh look he's pretentious and full of himself, just like every other character in this mov... zzzzzz

Velvet Buzzsaw was such a letdown. I was going to call it his sophomore slump, but its his third directed movie. I think it comes down to, you just don't care about any of the characters, so you don't care about their fate. Its needlessly overlong, this might have been a fun movie if they made it a nice 80-something minute movie.

oh no! i was sort of looking forward to velvet buzzaw...

There isn't even 80 minutes of worthwhile material in Velvet Buzzsaw. The funeral scene with Gyllenhaal critiquing the tone of the coffin wood got me to laugh, and then the art dude mistaking the trash bag in John Malkovich's studio for a piece was smile worthy, but that's really it.

I was expecting a stylish thriller of some sort, but instead I got some straight to DVD horror schlock wrapped in a half-assed "lol isn't art vapid?" flame retardant blanket.

I've yet to see a modern art film that gets it right, there are some good biographies, though

one of the best ones, IMO
