Garden State and Happy Accidents both made me feel things I’d never felt in a movie before back in the day.

 

Punch-Drunk Love, 25th Hour, The Royal Tenenbaums, Adaptation, Lost in Translation, and Children of Men were all riveting to me when I only watched movies occasionally. Late 2007 and No Country for Old Men was when I really started getting into film seriously.

 

The Darjeeling Limited. I had seen other films (a lot of the ones listed already) but hadn't looked at them beyond acting mediums until then.

 

garden state is one of the ten or so worst movies i’ve ever seen. for all the joker and jojo rabbit y’all, they’re nowhere near as bad as garden state.

 

Incredible that they found the only person who can make a bad Wishbone movie

 

Nooooooo!!!!!!

 

The Green Book wars feels so long ago.

 

Yeah, the last time I watched Garden State (probably close to 10 years ago) it didn’t really hold up.

 

The scene where Natalie Portman does the freakout dance to be unique makes me physically cringe.

 

I don't know where else to post this but damn the Criterion release of Parasite sounds so good but the cover is so lackluster! I was going to get it Day 1 but now I feel I could wait and just get the new version of Pierrot le fou that day instead.

It's too bad for Parasite as it has so much great art for it out there and just laying morse code on top of the original poster is just...so lame. Definitely not a work of art I'd hang on my wall or display on my desk/shelf for sure.

 

theres a Criterion thread - The Criterion Collection • forum.chorus.fm

 

Cases like this are almost definitely because Criterion wasn't given permission to create new art and were only able to use the one piece of key art

 

People in movies and TV shows are always too dressed when they are at home and someone shows up unexpectedly.

 

Both this and a character randomly turning the TV on/changing to a channel at the exact moment a plot-relevant news story begins both bug me lol

 

Want.

 

I love Linklater but skipped his last two, this sounds like the kind of thing I'd be more interested in.

 

I skipped them as well, honestly didn't know Bernadette was him until right now and never heard of the war one

 

They were both so bad, but Bernadette was so off-kilter that it was sort of fascinating. Like an alien was trying to make a conventional drama.

 

wow sign me up

 

Ive liked some of his mainstream mid-budget stuff a lot, and I’ve seen almost everything he’s done (I think Tape is all I have left aside from the last two), but I feel okay skipping them

 

Tape and the Newton Boys, I haven’t seen, looking at his IMDb.

 

An interesting scenario brought up on the Fighting in the War Room podcast today. What happens when it's, like, November, and a huge glut of countries have this mostly under control, and are safely opening theaters. At what point do American studios go "we can't hold onto these anymore," and start releasing movies in theaters worldwide everywhere BUT the United States? And then do start doing the $50-$100 digital download thing for major releases here?

 

Because I'll be fucking honest, I don't really see a scenario where ANY movie gets released into theaters in 2020 at this point.

 

It's been four months. We're worse off by far than we were four months ago. Four months from now is November. It'll be cold. More people will be getting sick. I don't wanna be a buzzkill but...fuck.
