Godard to me is intellectual counterfeit compared to a good Truffaut film
>>204161450More like:>D. W. Grift>Jean-Ludicrous Godard>John Fraud>Michelanguid Antonioni>Robert Boreton>Andrei Tirekovsky
>>204161611Rank Truffaut's filmography right fucking NOW
>>204161851Honestly I've only seen a couple I just thought it sounded funny. The Green Room is probably my favorite of his, I need to watch more because he seems like a genuinely talented guy unlike Godard
Based or retard?

I laughed way too hard at this. Just priceless.

>>204161611>The fact remains that Janine was in hospital last month, she was knocked down by a car while making her last programme, she had to have an operation on her knee, so there she finds herself in hospital without any work and without any money and naturally without any word from Godard who will only step down from his pedestal to amuse Rassam every so often. And I can tell you: the more you love the masses, the more I love Jean-Pierre Leaud, Janine Bazin, Patricia Finaly and Helen Scott whom you meet in an airport and cut dead, why, because she's an American or because she's a friend of mine? The behaviour of a shit. A girl from the BBC rings you up to ask if you'll say a few words on cinema and politics for a programme about me, I warn her in advance that you'll refuse, but that's not good enough for you, you hang up on her before she's even finished her sentence, the behaviour of an elitist, the behaviour of a shit, as when you agree to go to Geneva or London or Milan and you don't go, to startle people, to astonish them, like Sinatra, like Brando, you're nothing but a piece of shit on a pedestal.>You've always been a poseur, as when you sent a telegram to de Gaulle about his prostate, when you called Braunberger a filthy Jew over the telephone, when you said that Chauvet was corrupt, a poseur when you lump together Renoir and Verneuil as though they were the same thing, a poseur even now when you claim you're going to show the truth about the cinema, those who work in the background, who are badly paid, etc.>When you had a location, a garage or shop set up by your crew, and then you would arrive and say 'I don't have any ideas today, we won't shoot' and the crew would have to take it all back down again, did it never occur to you that the workers might feel completely useless and rejected, like the sound crew that spent a whole day in the empty studio at Pinewood waiting in vain for Brando?lil bro cooked godard
>>204161919I love Jules and Jim besides that I find him incredibly boring. I'd rather watch Weekend, Alphaville or Pierrot Le Fou. I also love Vivre Sa Vie and anyone who thinks I'm a pleb because of it can go fuck themselves
>>204162360>You need to play a role and the role needs to be a prestigious one; I've always had the impression that real militants are like cleaning women, doing a thankless, daily but necessary job. But you, you're the Ursula Andress of militancy, you make a brief appearance, just enough time for the cameras to flash, you make two or three duly startling remarks and then you disappear again, trailing clouds of self-serving mystery. Opposed to you are the "small" men, from Bazin to Edmond Maire and taking in Sartre, Bunuel, Queneau, Mendès-France, Rohmer and Audiberti, who ask others how they're getting on, who help them fill out a social security form, who reply to their letters - what they have in common is the capacity to think of others rather than themselves and above all to be more interested in what they do than in what they are and in what they appear to be.
>>204162413Believe it or not I've never actually seen Jules and Jim. I haven't seen a whole lot of French classics actually. I just get autistically fixated on certain directors, like I've seen all of Renoir and Bresson but not a single Melville film>>204162360>you hang up on her before she's even finished her sentence, the behaviour of an elitist, the behaviour of a shitDamn Godard was shit as a person, how did they all even stand him?

>>204162694>listing his own filmI always cringe when directors do this, are there any other instances of this? I've DeMille do this and also Bunuel but he was obviously trolling

What /films/ have a halloweeny atmosphere? Preferably not actual /hor/ movies
>>204162604>Damn Godard was shit as a person, how did they all even stand him?The Truffaut quotes are basically a selection of the worst parts of GODard. Now, let an anon take a quote where someone talks about the best parts of GODard. Truffaut on those quotes reminds me of an old friend that got brutally butthurt with me because I told him I liked Trump and called his fashion style "normalfag". He was so angry with me for calling him a quote unquote "fag", -and me liking Trump-, that he immediately decided that I was a danger to society and a terrible person. And he ended a 14 year old friendship, and turned my old friends against me. There you go: people are emotionally volatile.
>>204162267>>204162267>tells others not to waifufag while waifufaggingnever change /film/
>>204162773The real fuck up was adding The 400 Blows to his list. That film blows.
>>204162694Did he really choose one of his own films? It can’t be THAT good, right?
>>204163018Anon non-/hor/ 'halloweeny' atmosphere is just regular autumn atmosphere
>>204163148It's not THAT good, but it's pretty good. Not even the best Tsai I've seen, but I guess it's his most legendary / acclaimed film
>>204163304Now I’m intrigued… I post here too often to have never seen a Tsai flick. Seems sacrilegious almost
>>204163353Tsai is to be watched chronologically.
>>204163353How long you been in here?
>>204163353 Tsai is more of a friendly inside joke, he is not that great of a director and honestly just your run-of-the-mill contemporary Asian arthouse.
>>204161450what is this still from?
>>204163353Tsui Hark > Tsai
>>204163465Eh, he's pretty damn good I'd say. Not on the level of Edward Yang or Akira Kurosawa though, not by a long shot.
>>204163485Vai e Vem (2003)
>>204163547>Not on the level of Edward Yang or Akira Kurosawa thoughNo shit?
>>204163446Three springs.
So what has /film/ been watching for October?
>>204163446Since this happened:>see Slow (2023) advertised somewhere, looks interesting>make thread on said film since I didn’t see a /film/ gen up>get one reply saying “Make the fucking thread bookum”>fuck it, I’ve never posted on /film/ before but sure>make threadhttps://archive.4plebs.org/tv/thread/199006046/
>>204163640Damn, you pretty much an oldfag by now. Crazy that you haven't seen a film by the devil himself.
Tsai > Yang.
So much kino... so little time
>>204163603lol. I mean, with all the praise, I was starting to think that a Yang / Tsai comparison wouldn't be seen as far fetched. I like them both, but I feel that Yang just mogs too hard at this point.
>>204163653Strange DarlingDragged Across ConcreteGrey GardensChimp CrazyVincent Gallo as Flying Christ
>>204163699Just get over it and watch kino.
What is the /film/ equivalent of Silent Hill 2?
>>204163683Alright, so you're not a newfag and neither an oldfag. Still normal I guess. I've never seen a Griffith picture and I've been here way longer.
Why is this only available in 240p everywhere I look? It's not even that old of a film
>>204163699It's depressing. It's actually kind of weird to think that I feel anxiety over dying and not watching enough kino. It's never gonna be enough bros...

Where do you guys discover new films exactly? Trannyboxd isn't very helpful, nor is this anger issues general
>>204163901/film/RYMLocal kinoplexes
>>204163901Surfing wikipedia is the best
>>204163901Lists on letterboxd and rym generally. I find a semi obscure movie I like, check what lists its on and look at lists of similar things. As long as the lists aren't hundreds or thousands of unrelated shit
>>204163782there's a dvdrip, google it
>>204163901Letterboxd, wikipedia and the /tv/ archive
>>204163901i assembled a list of festivals and every year i check out their lineupsalso i seek out more and more festivals, obscure stuffletterboxd lists do help occasionally with that
>>204163547>Edward YanglmaoI would break your arms, I would crush your skull. Really.
>>204163901I just watch Calabuch (1956) on repeat.
>>204163901/film/Private TrackersLocal theatersTrannyboxd/RYMBooksRoughly on that order.
>>204164171So anger management anon and the Yang hater are the same person? kek
>>204164074Letterboxd has some really neat lists of directors' favorites like these for examplehttps://letterboxd.com/nabilaouad/list/pedro-costa-list/by/release-earliest/https://letterboxd.com/lacinetek/list/francois-truffauts-list-of-favorite-films/by/release-earliest/
>>204163901I don't really need to discover new films. I've still got a couple thousand to get through
>>204164223No I'm not that guy, but few things make me as angry as people praising that Beverly Hills fortune cookie fraud.
/film/ equivalent of this?
>>204164252You ain't got the hunger anymore. I don't even watch the 1000 films I've got downloaded on my 5 HDDs, I just download new stuff every day and spam watch. Can't stop.
>>204164306Un homme qui dort is literally it.
>>204164289The guy didn't praise him, he just said Yang was better than Tsai which isn't really a high bar
>>2041642892 anger management dudes in here since months or years ago... I have to admit that your gimmicks / real personalities are some of the funniest shit that I've seen on /film/.
>>204164364Both are very good, and Yang is the shit.
>>204164364Yang is a cultural terrorist and anti-cinema. Even modern A24 farthouse hacks shit on his rotting talentless corpse.
>>204164320I still discover new films, mainly from here or letterboxd, but I don't add them to my current watchlist. sometimes I will still add things to one of my next watchlists though. here are some recent additions
>>204164442It's so fucked man... it's never ending. A true nightmare, indeed.
>>204164431>cultural terroristThe fuck does this mean lol? For some reason, there are very good vibes in this thread today. Anger = gone. Head = empty.
>>204164480trust me, I understand. I've got 5 different watchlists, and also this list of films that I need to get through and decide if I want to add any of these films to any of my watchlists
>>204164442I've seen that anthology anime film, Tekkonkinkreet, Ninja Scroll and Wicked City, also read Hokuto no Ken manga. I'm an anime man... A N I M E
>>204164582any anime you would recommend?
>>204164509Yang's asian man is a cuckold dreaming of America, emulating Americans, his thoughts occupied by American export. Thus Yang turns his cinema into cheap orientalist product aimed at clueless American boomers who have waddled into the cinema straight from Panda Express. Yang despised Taiwan, that's why he moved out the first second he could. Only returning to shoot his movies there. He only used it to sell his fraudulent vision to American festival organizers and Asiaboos.
>>204164717Don't see any problem with any of that. Also don't see the terrorism. Why is this "bad"?
>>204164442Great film, even low-key masterpiece
>>204164763The man pissed on his own people, spat on his country. I will despise him and celebrate his death as long as I live!
>>204164682I dunno, Queen Millennia, both the series and the filmhttps://youtu.be/67U_I5omo5w?feature=shared\
>>204164809Are you taiwanese?
>>204164763These anons with a burning hate for anything american just see and write red, no actual logic to be found in their angry brains.
>>204164213What books?
>>204164852Yes. Born here, moved to Australia as a child, and currently back in Taiwan.
>>204164947Guess it makes sense. 7 AM in there? What are you doing at this time of day?
>>204164873Normie stuff, like Film as a Subversive Art or What is Cinema? stuff like that. I've not read that much, that's why I've put it last on my list.

>>204164947Is it true Lee Kang-sheng is Brad Pitt tier famous in Taiwan and can't walk outside without being hounded by paparazzi and fangirls?
>>204165321Curious about this as well, and is he consider the big one by the taiwanese? And how do you and the taiwanese see Tsai?
>/film/ falling for "Yang betrayed Taiwan" schizo againYou niggers will fall for "my father works in Nintendo" tier shit. He isn't a chink.
Walt Disney, Tex Avery, or Chuck Jones?
>>204165321My favorite Taiwanese director. He is consistently very good.>>204165385Hou Hsiao-hsienWang TungKo I-chenWu Nien-jenTsai Ming-liangWan JenChang YiSylvia ChangChen Yu-hsunKuo-Fu Chen>>204165400There are many awful directors but you would probably never even hear of most.>>204165439I've been asked before, but I only know Mandarin, not Cantonese.
Angry taiwanese man left us just when he became famous... he only used us, bros...
>>204162604I've only seen a few Renoir films so I guess we approach film history differently. I have seen Bresson's entire filmography and The Devil Probably is my favourite. I know that's controversial but I think it's seriously underrated and it resonated with me
/film/ really is worldwide, huh?
>>204165820WE control EVERYTHING. OUR influence is IMMENSE.
>>204165632For me, it’s Chuck Jones.
>>204163465This is the post of a filtered fool
>>204165632Tex is funnier but Chuck Jones is mote consistent.
>>204163901Unironically these threads, only reason I’m still here. You don’t like it- leave, good riddance
The Rothschilds bow down to /film/
>>204165676What about King Hu?
>>204164223There are multiple posters here who chimp out, including myself. I wish more people would.
>>204165676all of them feel like intellectual counterfeit money compared to a good swashbuckling film
>>204165942Can I attend one of your orgies? Could just watch, really
>>204165550No.>>204165574Hou is held very high by people seriously into cinema.Tsai is extremely niche but he has his big fans.>>204165631I'm half asian, half white.>>204165947I suppose he's good but I'm not interested in wuxia myself.
>>204165964Why? It's only funny when done with style.
>>204166020Thanks
>>204165964I only chimp out when anons says abysmally retarded things like "Rohmer is filmed theatre".
>>204166039

>>204166341I don't see Edward Yang so you are good to go.
>>204166004On another topic, how do you feel about Wong Kar-wai?
>>204166218Hi you
>>204166393Overall a good director but he has made some movies I don't enjoy at all. Very uneven. Fallen Angels is probably his best.
It's Joever.
>>204166975Not a big loss for film. He can take his sweet time.
>>204166975Asian cinema grifter pushing exotic orientalism to pander to western film festivals, many such cases, his films are not made for actual people but people like David Ehlrich and Tony Zhou
>>204167337>cinema grifter pushing exotic orientalism to pander to western film festivals, many such casesSans Soleil (Marker, 1983)
>>204166393ChungKing Express is in my top 10 movies of all time so I am kind of a super fan. You've got to respect how he does not give a fuck about the festival grift, his films such as Hero, Blueberry Nights, Ashes of Time, 2046, The Grandmaster, filter the establishment constantly.
>>204161554Many people love Sarah Gadon
Everything is orientalism, kino is dead, yadda yadda...
>>204166748>>204167467I kinda hate his shit, need to see more of it to build a complete opinion about him, nonetheless.
>>204167665Perfume commercials.
>>204167633>kino is deadThis is true though.
>>204164306red desert
>>204167702So what? I'll fuck her dead corpse until I die too. A good ass on a theatre screen is better than the next big thing.
>>204167702Only for retards or cringe doomers
>>204167692That is just one aesthetic style that he used in "In the Mood for Love", it only became a perfume aesthetic because he invented it. Chungking express and Fallen Angels are gritty, not perfume at all.
Watched The Live of Others (2006) I liked it,any other Cold War themed-kinos?
>>204167765Dangerously based
>>204168176Fallen Angels isn't gritty lol
>>204166393Ashes of Time actually does some interesting things with cinematography and editing.Rest of his filmography is quite boring.
So the guy who calls some films perfume commercials and hates Yang is the same angry chink who's always sperging here?LMAO
>>204168344Think you're mixing too many different anons.
>>204168344It is probably the Tsaifag who doesn't want other asians spoken about
>>204168344No- YOU are every single poster here in these threads, including me aka YOU
>>204168396I think that schizo mix ends up describing every one here.
>>204168344I'm the anon who got angry about Yang the fraud and I've never called anything perfume commercial.
/AsiaBox/
>>204168404I'm not the Tsaifag.
>>204161554Everyone loves Sarah Gadon
>>204168561There's something I still don't get about the Yang grift... supposedly he sucks and is a fortune cookie seller, right? So how come he collaborated with a lot of the filmmakers you mentioned as being good? (HHH, Sylvia, etc.). Did they fail to realize the grift or were they just unbothered by it?
>>204168637I can't really speak for them, but in Sylvia's defence she worked with him very early on when the fortune cookie fraud wasn't yet apparent. As for Hou in Taipei Story... He should have known better. Taipei Story is a film dreaming of going to America.
So the accusing fag is also the horse man? HOLY SHIT HAHAHAH
>>204168977>accusing fagwho
>>204168951But, in your opinion, what's the problem with hating Taiwan and wanting to move to America? Serious question.
>>204168344I'm the one who called Kar-Wai perfume commercial and i'm not a chink and i love Yang. Why do some anons always think they're only talking to one person on 4chan?
This would have been perfect if not for the mail-a-ring thing.

>>204169091>what's the problem with hating TaiwanI love this country. Of course I'm going to have a problem with traitors. A traitor is even worse than a foreigner who hates Taiwan. Odd question.
>>204169295But why would I be the horsefag? There's no association. I hate that shit if anything.
>>204169339https://youtu.be/Th0Ehv-xVQs?si=Z-S5SMtXkR2fYF50
The Amazing Mr X- fantastic lighting, good acting, I enjoyed the plot twist and the ending was great. Ended up being part noir, part thriller, part horror. Wish he had a threesome with the sisters, holy shit can you imagine?
>>204169367Sorry dude, it’s obvious. You’ve been had- just come clean and post the goddamn horse
>>204169444I have a feeling you're the horse guy. No one was even talking about it.
>>204169339A man can hate a country and still make good films. It's pretty obvious, kinda like doubting Heidegger's philosophical advancements just because he was a nazi. Same kind of prejudice. I've never understood people who can't make that distinction.

>>204169527But we feel his horse-like presence through every post in the thread I’m keeping my eye on you…
I will never understand the fucking horse pic. Is there any context for it? Is it a reference to something?
>>204169782It is a reference to something very deep.
>>204169782>he doesn't know
>>204169819>>204169820
>>204169718You're completely opposite to me. I couldn't care less about ideologies and pride, that kind of stuff. Only personal attacks annoy me. Shitting on my country, or on other countries for that matter, doesn't matter at all to me.
So the anon who claims horse ignorance is actually horse anon and tsaifag?? LMAOOOOO!!!!!

>>204165964I don’t even chimp out 99% of the time because I believe half the shit I’d hypothetically sperg out at is bait. I’ve literally had someone bait me recently and admit 5 minutes later they were doing it just to fuck with me specifically.

>>204174060Night on the Galactic Railroad
>Confessions>4.5/10Gonna have to get rough with this one too. Edgiest film I've ever seen, by far. Imagine the concept of "new jap extremity": this film embodies that. On the one hand: editing = ridiculous. Music = wasted. Acting = a joke. And this nigga can't write dialogue to save his life: this is like Tarantino on steroids.On the other hand though, some of the themes have been quite surprising while reviewing some of Nakashima's work. He's maybe the only filmmaker I've ever seen that makes stuff that feels really evil, but I think it's just shock tactics at this point. I don't know if he hates humanity, or is just a cosmic agent of evil, but some of this and Kanako felt like demoralization propaganda. Still pretty cool to endure through, due to how different it is from the usual Disneyland-love type shit that sells nowadays.Overall, a pretty interesting film which I recommend watching if you want something different or a laugh. Need to see the reaction of guy that shills this.
>>204174077I’ve gotten better at spotting the bait, but sometimes it’s still worth it to explode, feels good man and gives people here some chuckles too

>>204174349>>204174438We got to do some anger polling one of these days... I'm not the one to chimp out on inanimate objects. ASPD dude in here. Reformed via judicial system. It worked. Punishment's pretty bad. Only the most elite of chimps know that.
how is Rohmer not filmed theater
>>204174527He is.
>>204174527>>204174582>character-driven movies are le filmed theaterTake a cyanide pill, both of you.
>>204174527>>204174582Ngmi.
Rohmer's movies are just plays performed in front of a camera on location
>>204174425Respect.
>>204174647Of course cinema can be character driven, but Rohmer doesn't make cinema. It's a matter of film form.
>>204174724One waifu to rule them all.
>>204174858He's my husbando though. I'm not going to do some pseudo-tranny shit by calling him a waifu.
>>204174724:D
>>204174713>>204174797https://youtu.be/8PEprNYSFss?si=9UpMTaXNiiJ_0c7dThis isn't cinema in the idiot's mind. This is a filmed stage play in the retard's tiny brain. Like i said in the other thread, Rohmer is an (in)direct sucessor of the silent film and the closes to Murnau of any filmmaker of his generation, there's absolutely nothing stage-like about his films, it's pure living breathing cinema. You are faggots and you dosgust me.
>>204175037>hur dur it has a few cuts so therefore it is cinemaRetards like this are why art film is dying.
Rohmer is an enemy of images.
>>204175065My god you people are hopeless, you don't understand anything, and your use of the term "art film" is very telling.
97% of Rohmer's films is people blabbering in medium shots and closeups. The progenitor of TV soap operas.
>>204175163Meaningless.
>>204175037>and the closes to Murnau of any filmmaker of his generationLMAOOOOOOOOOO
Rohmer personally told me his aim was to devalue movies. It's true.
You guys forget that the second half of Rohmer's filmography is even worse, almost exclusively 16mm joints shot and lit like TV programs.That said personally I don't mind Rohmer at all. He never pretended to be anything more than he was. For me a Rohmer flick is a guilty pleasure I can watch on a lazy, relaxing day. Plenty of people far worse and far more inimical to cinema than him.
Rohmer for me is a nonentity.
>>204175461Based.
I've never seen a Rohmer film. Where to begin?
>never seen a Rohmer filmMy estimation of Tsaifag as a man just fucking plummeted.
>>204175602Can't get around to seeing everything, my man. I've seen tons of films from all the other big FNW guys, but he always slipped by.
This Joker release has brought the worst human beings I've ever seen flooding our precious board and general. They are turbo normies of the kind who watch The Critical Drinker and Tony Zhou. This is even worse than when the Substance came out, and twice as bad as when Megalopolis came out. Capeshit fans are just really the bottom of the barrell.
>>204175657I wouldn't know, but I believe you. I haven't opened a single Joker thread.
>>204175657>ever reading outside of /film/lmao
>>204175432>a guilty pleasure I can watch on a lazy, relaxing dayA Rohmer joint's a lot like a a good kung fu film, a Fred Astaire picture, or a porno.
>>204175657Are you new here by chance? /tv/ is almost always like that, this board doesn't watch anything besides capeshit, the latest highly rated slop that advertisements shove down their throats, and JewTube videos
>>204175628Go watch La Collectionneuse and work your way through his filmography from there.
>>204175808I'll do that.
>>204175549Start at La Collectioneuse, follow chronologically, all his films are very consistent in form, content and quality. Watch at least the big three, La Collectioneuse, Ma nuit chez Maud and La Genou de Claire, he went downhill after, regressed to shooting on very obvious sets or on 16mm TV reporter style.
any recs on foreign crime kino?
>>204176137Foreign?
>>204175731There is nowhere else to hav film discussions, reddit is all zoomers, lb is all trannys. I miss the IMDB message boards.
>>204176162Not from the Usa. Be it eurocrime etc etc...
>>204175549Start with Ma nuit chez Maud, if you like that one come back and i'll tell you which one to watch next.
>>204175824>regressed to shooting on very obvious sets or on 16mm TV reporter style.That doesn't sound bad at all.
>>204175731This shit always happens when a big movie comes out but personally, /tv/ was damn-near unusable for like two weeks when Alien Romulus came out. Not only were there a metric fuckton of Romulus threads, compound it with all the threads for Alien, Aliens, Aliens 3, Resurrection, Covenant, and Prometheus. I only opened the Siggy waifu threads and even they were all Alien. Plus Spaeny has been posted nonstop here after starring in Civil War/Romulus.
>>204175824Wrong, Rohmer, like Bergman, never went downhill, his last film is as good as his first film.
Horseposter is alright in my book.
EXPLAIN THE FUCKING HORSEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
>>204176137Don’t ever open that door and If I should die before I wake are two superb crime dramas from Argentina.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Ever_Open_That_DoorThe former is about a criminal with an involuntary whistling tic hiding out at his mother’s house in the country. The second film is a remake of Lang’s M essentially with a little girl tracking the serial killer who targets her classmates.
>>204176333Then you will probably love Le Rayon vert and La Femme de l'aviateur>>204176447I did say all his films are very consistent in quality, the way they are shot are minor details unimportant for enjoyment and analysis, but they irk me nonetheless
>>204163901Senscritique if you’re a frogfag
>>204175205>>204175432>>204175824>Academy ratio = televisionAnons, I...>The progenitor of TV soap operasIf you can't tell the difference between Rohmer's mise en scene and soap operas you really are hopeless.>lit like TV programsNooo you can't make use of economical means, cinema has to be le big spectacle, muh 70mm, muh cinemascope.
>>204176584No argument. Rohmerfags in shambles.
>>204175657I don't look at /tv/ outside of /film/ and /hor/ and nobody should.
>>204176137Le cercle rouge
>>204176539Great recs, will check out! >>204176631On my list for sure.
>>204176676If you watch cercle rouge you should also watch Once a Thief. It is American but it also stars Delon and is pretty good
>>204176447>his last film is as good as his first film.Based.
>>204176611You are the ones without arguments.
>>204176791>no, uRohmerfag getting desperate.
>>204174438he's far worse. he's filmed /lit/
Rohmer must be glad he's dead because otherwise he'd have to deal with my fists
Not an original opinion at all, but Lynch's Dune is one of the biggest pieces of shit ever released.
>>204176618Based fellow /filmhor/anon.
>>204177123Agreed. One of the few movies to give me a headache with its stupidity.
>>204176824Here >>204176584 i was simply answering the assertion that academy ratio and economic ways of lighting means television which means bad, which was the non-argument made by you retards. I'm not desperate, in fact i find it quite amusing how hard Rohmer filters you plebs.
>>204177123>>204177144How so? It is the only arthouse mega blockbuster.
>>204177130Hey. I'm the guy that was watching the Stuart Gordon films.
>>204177146>assertion that academy ratio and economic ways of lighting means television which means badI never said or implied these things THOUGH. Mentally ill Rohmerfag imagining posts.
>>204177123Dune is barely a Lynch film and very much a de Laurentiis joint. The best thing about it is that it secured Lynch financing for Blue Velvet with full creative control.
>>204177159It sure didn't bust any blocks.
>>204177159>Dune>arthouselmaoIt's just an abridged version of the book with a few wacky details added by Lynch. Stuff for teenage boys.
>>204177168Very nice. I just watched Dagon a few weeks back, maybe I should check out Re-Animator this month.
>>204177159>mega blockbusterwhy would a giant flop be a """mega blockbuster"""what's so fucking mega about it
>>204177179I must've misunderstood you then, i'm sorry.>>204177264Definitely, it's by far his best alongside From Beyond, they're both immensely better than Dagon.
>>204177296I forgive you. I don't actually even dislike Rohmer. I was just doing a little bit of trolling.
>>204177296Wait, are you anon that just gave me a shout out like two hours ago?
>>204177159I just found it mind numbingly boring and ugly, and, personally, I generally detest films that have overly complicated plots (maybe I'm a brainlet)>arthouse mega blockbusterWouldn't something like 2001 have a better claim to this title
>>204177291>>204177223>>204177260Watch this scene, this is the weirdest shit you will ever see in a major blockbuster: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGqdE1NdMTg

When did zoomers start calling any big budget film a blockbuster? Don't they understand that blockbusters have to bust the blocks
