Wait what? They removed those movies??

 

no they just don't promote a lot of their indie movies the way they promote their cheap rom coms, they just release them with no fanfare

 

Ah

 

So if I'm interpreting this right, apparently they thought that even after having multiple scenes stating that the pregnant women never want their baby to be a boy, when they revealed why that is they were still like "Okay but we still gotta show the baby's dick so everyone's clear that it is in fact a boy." Insane lol

 

They’re the worst

 

The 100 Best Horror Movies of All Time
Updated Slant list

 

Holy shit

 

Been hooked on Argento recently but took me four films to get to Suspiria.

The first death legitimately gave me a panic attack.

 

:(((

 

I didn't want to start a Best of 2019 Movies thread yet, probably better for December, but I was just curious what everyone's top 10's look like right now.

1. Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood
2. Ad Astra
3. Midsommar
4. The Lighthouse
5. Us
6. The Beach Bum
7. Hustlers
8. Her Smell
9. Glass
10. Dolemite Is My Name

 

1. The Lighthouse
2. Parasite
3. Midsommar
4. Shoplifters
5. Climax

Not sure on order but the rest of my favs:
Ad Astra
The Art of Self-Defense
Ash is Purest White
The Beach Bum
Booksmart
Capernaum
The Farewell
Happy New Year, Colin Burstead
High Life
In Fabric
Knife + Heart
The Last Black Man in San Francisco

Still have a lot to watch and I could see swapping out Climax with one of the others but not gonna think too much about it yet

 

1. Avengers: Endgame
2. Midsommar
3. The Favourite
4. If Beale Street Could Talk
5. Once Upon a Time in America
6. Parasite
7. Toy Story 4
8. Booksmart
9. Us
10. Spider-Man: Far From Home

There's a ton of stuff I still need to see. Hoping I get to see The Lighthouse somehow before the end of the year.

 

Still have a lot to see, but as of right now (in no particular order)

Once Upon A Time
Us
The Art of Self Defense
Parasite
The Farewell
The Death of Dick Long
The Dead Don't Die
Between Two Ferns
The Peanut Butter Falcon
Metallica: S&M 2

 

Saw Jojo Rabbit last night. I thought it was great. I can see it being one that I appreciate more with a rewatch down the line as well.

The Lighthouse and Dolemite are next on my list. Hoping to watch both in the next couple of weeks.

 

The Lighthouse and Jojo Rabbit are both 2020 releases here. Never realised how many films were so late coming out here. It's weird.

 

I sadly haven't seen nearly as many films as I saw last year (rip moviepass), so any list I could create would feel incomplete right now. But the standouts for me have been:

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
The Farewell
High Flying Bird
John Wick 3
Jojo Rabbit
Us
Serenity (this movie is terrible, but holy shit I could not look a way. A movie so baffling I think everyone should watch purely for the wtf aspect)

And I think I've only seen a handful of other movies that range from fine to fun but forgettable. I'm slacking hard on 2019 releases.

Also, I know it's a 2018 release, but I didn't see it until a few months ago - Minding the Gap. It's the best thing I've seen this year.

 

Minding the Gap is incredible

 

One of my favorite films I’ve ever seen

 

It’s incredible how young the director is and how amazing it is. First time director, sheesh

 

So good

 

Don’t know where else to post this but today my girlfriend pitched “a Jackass reboot but with the Jersey Shore cast” and now it’s all I can think about

 

Tell her to make it happen.

 

James Earl Jones is in this episode of Frasier as a blind man in a retirement home. His whole character and subplot is just sublime and touching. I recommend everyone check it out.
