>>85168330
It just seems awful to participate in a community with people, the only reason to write criticism is to gain status. Heck, that's the only reason to put anything into the public sphere. If I'm not important, why the fuck do I want to bump pussies with all the other unimportant people? Also, doing anything that can be traced to me individually then linking it to 4chan would be like running into a women's shelter naked with a dotted line drawn around my cock.

>>85168407
You're right! It's not important, okay? YOU'RE NOT IMPORTANT! GET USED TO IT!

>>85168407

we all use it to log fliccs and get reccs from one another while mildly (read: intensely) posturing

>>85168407
you could use your account for a personal diary and never link it to this general?

>>85168407
you know writing reviews isn't a requirement of the site, right? also, you aren't required to give over any personal information either, so seems like you're just being pedantic for the sake of it

Yeah, I covered that.

>>85168496
But I already have a personal diary, why put it on the internet?

>>85168536
Then it's even more futile, number/star ratings are the worst.

I'm not being pedantic, I just don't want to create an identity, even a fake one (and I have plenty of those online, like everyone) that then gets linked to 4chan.

Let's face it. The only people who don't like super hero films are uppity self righteous joyless twats. These people are always miserable and angry. They always have an opinion about something they hate. In fact all they talk about is stuff they hate. They live such miserable worthless lives. Their opinions should automatically be ignored.

Choose refreshing it seven dozen times in the evening because it’s fucking broke again. Choose getting death threats over your opinions on Everybody Wants Some!! Choose watching some shit you never wanted to watch in the first place because you put it in some project you agreed to that no fucker cares about.

People on here are either overly obsessed with him or give him a bit much praise for a filmmaker who's been around for over a century. Griffith is and was a genius but it's a far stretch to claim no modern director has passed him (looking at you mega autist). It's like the Flintstones shaking their fists at the jetsons

Don't feel bad if you don't enjoy his films. But do try to watch at least one or two of them for their historical value.

NWR is an interesting director, he's one of the few whos films evoke such polarized responses, malick also comes to mind

OGF was in my opinion at best a 6/10, although I'd like to give it the benifit of the doubt as my own preferences are very far from what's to be found in refns films. Tbh I find his movies to be quite self-indulgent of his own violent fantasies, and lacking much depth beyond that. You could argue that's the experience of his films though.

Maybe I used hyperbole. It did not suck ass. There is much to see in this film such as the technical aspect, it also really does put you in the situation of the events. There is a part where some planes do a bombing run and it's really quite fantastic the way the sound creeps closer ultimately making you feel like you yourself are going to be blown up by shrapnel. I also always appreciate Nolan's practical and realistic approach.

However when I was watching this film in 70mm (great btw) I had this sense of watching a documentary. The film follows these characters in a narrative sense but it's more a sequence of events that happen. There are no characters that make this a battle worth saving. The characterisation in this film is frustratingly simple. One could argue that Nolan was simply trying to put you in situation of the characters and the focus was not necessarily on the characters but rather the heroic rescue of the soldiers from the beach. But to me it was hard to connect with this situation and it was a tad boring.

Nolan does excel at pacing which is also why his films can appeal to many people. He keeps us always interested by always having some tension to every scene. But hear in lies my biggest issue with this film. IT WAS EXHAUSTING. Non stop tension matched with Zimmer's score was bluntly boring and nerve wracking. The film was excessively full with sound and tension so much to the point where I started to think surely this must be leading to something very tense in the end. But the film presented this brownish plate of tension that had no payoff. I would recommend this film as a learning experience of the events of dunkirk beach but not for a film enjoying experience.

I've seen people praise Tom Hardy for his authentic role. But he literally played " guy in plane." The range of emotions we got were blank solider guy for the whole film. Sure all the other players did their job. Mark Rylance was good.

I love criterion shit

>>85209238
but i hateee criterion so much my faves? everything by stan breakage ;*]

lads, listen to me, this thread is shit now hahaha

lad, this mug is filled with grease

I hate all these plebs who only see the films which had the biggest marketing budget. No opinions, no taste, they just love what some Hollywood CEO tells them to love.

Oh wow, Criterion is releasing another masterpiece! Going to be good, it's Criterion after all, better grab it asap! I'm going to love it, Criterion never disappoints me.

Are there any good private trackers for films in .3gp format? Looking to load some stuff onto my Sagem for the bus to work

>>85195012
they're not 'trackers' as in they're used to keep track of what you're watching, they're sites where you can download movies
KG and PTP in particular are amazing because you can get pretty much everything and anything, KG is god tier because it's dedicated to arthouse, avant-garde and cinema obscura and the community is very knowledgeable but it's impossible to get into

This is the shot of an amateur. Out of focus, subjects not evenly profiled.

It was bad
First 2 were interviews with a bunch of guys, 4 was behind the scenes and make-up, but 3 was random just clips of b-movies, and out takes that weren't funny. It made Robot Ninja seem pretty cool though, might watch that soon

That's why I said significant. Griffith never made anything amateur. He integrated documentary with fictional narrative. What you're referring to is counterfeit technique.

>>85223932
ok my friend

I see Mega Coward is twisting definitions around again *rolls eyes*

anybody hype for Kuso tomorrow
sounds weird as heck

>>85199067
Nolan should be commended for moving away from classic narrative structure

Griffith never made a musical

>>85224222
Griffith already did that

>>85224222
I liked The Dark Knight and Memento, but I find most of his movies to be overlong. I appreciate his use of practical effects, more than anything else he does. Interstellar was a big miss for me. I find his characterization lacking most of the time. His films lack humanity. I also couldn't stand the overbearing score. Too serious, most of all. Too "epic". I'm not quite sure what it is, other than it seems to me to be such an obvious break from reality that I can no longer empathize with his characters.

I have a question. Why does someone keep calling me Mega Coward?

>>85224189
Yes

>>85226326
Why would this be autism?

Griffith was a master of the epic and the intimate. He always highlighted his sunplays with comedy amidst tragedy along with tender moments of kinship

>>85227779
internet slang?

And that's also why it's okay if you loved it. Because it does have that power, if you have the right context. It can be sweet, or empowering, or a relief, or satisfying. If this is something you've waited for your whole life or if this has room for you or if you can note the better-than-average inclusivity of the main cast or if you cheered her march through No Man's Land, that's fine, that's great, I appreciate your enjoyment of the film. But understand too that what you got to enjoy is denied to others, and that's why I demand more.

whats esg?

In other words, they are the perfect antagonists for a PG-13 war epic, their absence allowing this story of panic and isolation to celebrate Britain’s past while also condemning its Brexit-era present. They are the galvanizing force behind a cinematic oxymoron, a virtually bloodless but profoundly unnerving assault on the senses. Cleaving closer to Sartre than Spielberg, “Dunkirk” is a stunning work of raw spectacle that searches for order in the midst of chaos. It’s the most contradictory film that Christopher Nolan has ever made, and — not incidentally — also the best.

I’ve watched “Funny People” more times than I care to count (fun fact: Judd Apatow movies comprise roughly 40% of all cable television programming), but it never occurred to me that Apatow’s raw, shaggy, desperate masterpiece of a third feature was inspired by “The Great Gatsby.” For some reason, I didn’t automatically make the connection between The Great American Novel and a studio comedy in which Adam Sandler has sex with a stranger while pretending to be a Merman. But someone recently pointed out the parallel, and — like a Magic Eye stereogram or that bump on Jean-Claude Van Damme’s forehead — it’s the kind of thing that you can’t un-see.

Ira Wright (Seth Rogen) is our new Nick Carraway, an aspiring L.A. comedian who forms an unlikely relationship with a lonely, enigmatic, semi-reclusive titan of his industry. George Simmons (Adam Sandler) is our Gatsby, a mega-successful movie star whose fame and fortune have distanced him from the world beyond the walls of his empty Hollywood mansion. Simmons, like Gatsby, has made too much money on vapor; he’s spent so long buying the human connections that most people typically have to earn.
