jacquot de nantes
blow-up
blow out
the cook, the thief, his wife & her lover
the rules of the game

blow out of course takes a lot of cues from blow-up and is also peak paranoid cinema. superb, highly recommended. the cook etc maybe one of the best i've ever seen, holy moly. straight bangers all year long folks i am feeling the movie magic

Gonna see Alien: Romulus today

Noyka · Post by **Noyka** » 18 Aug 2024, 00:39

Ouuu is it worth seeing in theaters?

Saw deadpool and wolverine with a fellating lover was exactly what you expect with a deadpool movie also saw cuckoo not worth seeing in theaters imo

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 18 Aug 2024, 00:42

the handful of people i know that have seen romulus were all pretty positive about it, even i'm a little intrigued

i have also restarted tackling s3 of twin peaks which i attempted last year but did not finish. so back to the start. also for some reason impulse bought the criterion 4k's for farewell my concubine & werckmeister harmonies

Noyka · Post by **Noyka** » 18 Aug 2024, 00:45

I never watched twin peaks i need to fix that after i finish Breaking Bad

All the youtube critics i watch liked Romulus too I was skeptical after the last few Alien movies but will probably see it this week

The only negative I've heard about it is it's "too much like the first one." Which honestly makes me want to see it more. Apparently the interior of the ship was heavily inspired (taken directly from?) Alien: Isolation.

It shall be seen this evening.

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 18 Aug 2024, 02:39

right? there is literally nothing more flattering to an alien franchise entry than comparing it to the original

slugbait · Post by **slugbait** » 18 Aug 2024, 08:59

Ok yeah it's definitely worth seeing in theaters. I really dug how Alvarez pulled from different parts of the franchise and made them work without seeming to have to rely on it to carry the film.

I'm sure one character in particular will have people divided, but no spoilers.

Very solid 8/10

just saw cuckoo, mess of a plot but good performances. setting/time was confusing as well, i thought it was like 80s/gloryhole era and then they pull out smart phones

Nah. This is an animated series on Netflix. I'm halfway through and while its not perfect, I dig how the Terminators are portrayed. The opening scene of the first episode was enough to get me to keep watching.

That one character could have been created in a more natural way.
Is there also some continuity with part four?

I would have to see that again

Ninny · Post by **Ninny** » 01 Sep 2024, 22:01

It was great

Close enough to the first two. Sir Scott has set I high standard

Three was alright, four not so much. Not sure about the Prometheus stuff

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 02 Sep 2024, 00:48

closed out august with la pointe courte & beaches of agnes. i will probably exhaust the varda filmography by the end of the year

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 14 Sep 2024, 01:36

that was actually my first time watching it and i think it's got the tentative top spot for anything anime i've ever seen. definitely want to catch that in the theater next time it gets a screening around here!

This is the first I've heard of this. After a quick IMDBing, I'm very intrigued

droidspawn · Post by **droidspawn** » 23 Sep 2024, 08:24

The last 40 minutes my jaw was on the floor. One of the most wild movies I’ve seen, period. It’s the chick that did Revenge a few years back.

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 23 Sep 2024, 21:40

Did you also play "spot the reference/influence" during basically the whole movie?

It's weird seeing him play any role that is remotely wholesome after watching this series.

I did not. It was shot very Kubrickian though.
