Oh no I mean who is the best director without a movie in my personal canon

 

GDT maybe

 

Ang Lee

 

Peter Jackson?

 

Hitchcock.

 

I was surprised how many people brought young children. I have mixed feelings on trying to force feed classics on kids.

 

Maybe Scorcese for me? I love most of his stuff but wouldn't have any in my top 100.

 

the premise is living directors

 

Oh.

Well, I found a list of what is considered the greatest living directors, and some that stand out are Park chan-wook, Pedro Almodovar, Rian Johnson, Denis Villeneuve, and Christopher Nolan. Most of them are false prophets, though, so the one who I never really liked too much despite decades of acclaim is Brian De Palma.

 

almodovar was another that came to mind for me, but mainly bc i haven’t seen a ton of his films

if not for children of men, cuaron would also be up there

 

Lucas, Aronofsky.

 

Saw Da 5 Bloods at Cinemark tonight.

Only five bucks, which was cool; only person in the theater, which was also cool. First viewing since Chadwick died (fuck do I wish he was still working today). Delroy Lindo monologuing into the camera on the big screen hits even harder than it did on Netflix. What a good movie.

 

I think thief is my favorite movie.

 

Skyler Gisondo is becoming an actor that I look forward to seeing in things, that kid is fucking hilarious in everything I see him in

 

keegan is right in principle but that is not the effect that will result. it will just lead to superhero movies having even more of a stranglehold on the industry and box office

 

Watching the law and order reboot, I’m 6 minutes in and have cringed 4 times.

 

If anything, the tax makes sense due to runtime. A 3 hour runtime limits the number of showings you can have in that theater each day.

 

it’s three hours long??

 

oh my god that sounds awful
