necrophilic ass thread
We're all ass here.
>>214451906Why do you keep bumping manJesus Christ, just the let thread die and we'll create a new one later
this thread = comically ass
>>214451947Yes, someone create a better thread edition too next time.
You niggas are really invested in threads dying... did you shoot him?
>they keep bumping it with superfluous postsAnother 49 hour thread, here we come!>>214450803If this is what it's come to, please post some Harriet
Y'all act as if posts were drops of water in the Sahara or something. I watched a crime movie.
>>214452359With pleasure!Damned if I waifupost, damned if I don't; /film/ is in critical condition as of late.
>>214452449Because there's only like three people here now.
>>214452867So what? Nobody gives a fuck and posting is free lol
>>214452994>Nobody gives a fuck and posting is free lolYeah, and clearly most people don't give a fuck about posting here anymore.
>>214453074Name? I caught a glimpse of green hair and I love BBW + unnatural hair colors.I think Lawrence was gay in Lawrence of Arabia, and those arabs maybe gangbanged him.>>214453121But they give a fuck about letting threads die? How does that make sense lol
>>214453171Because it's annoying as fuck seeing someone prop this general up at one post an hour with rehashed jokes because they can't bear to see /film/ archive early.
>>214453363Just hide the thread lol, or never come back. wtf?
>>214453426You forgot -this-
Idk where to post this but I just read a short story called Moiron by Maupassant and in it a beloved man, one who goes so far as to buy his pupils candy as gifts, is discovered to have murdered dozens of his pupils through hiding broken glass in the candy he gives themOn his death bed he confesses that he did this because he realised that God was evil when his 4 children died of illness at a young age, that God was a murderer and that he'd get revenge against God by copying what God did by murdering the childrenDoes that ring a bell?
>>214453393It's funny that you spoiler'd the post; shows you care for the working class lol
>>214453476>Does that ring a bell?No, but it reminds me of that time in It's a Wonderful Life when that drugstore nigga was drunk af and tried to poison a child.
>>214453476Why didn’t authorities realize during the autopsy that all these niggas had cuts in their mouths and it might’ve had sum do with the nigga givin out candy, are they stupid?
>>214453477I worked in a kitchen for 7 years. I WAS the working class son.
>>214453497lil bro thought he was Mr. Potter
>>214453497Idk man but after I read that I couldn't help but think Denis used it for the initial plot of PrisonersObviously Prisoners develops a lot of other themes beyond this plot point but still>>214453503They didHe got arrested and the sentence was the death penalty but he received clemency from Napoleon III and it became a lifetime in a penal colony instead
>>214453560Idk, I'm not a huge Dennis fan. Tbh, I can't really remember about 90% of that film, but the "God is le evil" angle has been played out so much that by this time I prefer more complex motives (though God is le evil is still kino). I like Kurosawan villains; they always have interesting backstories and motives which to some degree justifies their existence.
>>214453560Reminds me of some French story I read about some nigga who was celebrated in the army and elevated himself to high society but turned out to be a sadistic murderer and torturer of children. Something Grilles I think?
>>214453606Prisoners was solid but only as a one time watch kind of movie. Very engaging but no rewatch value t b h. Denis peaked with Arrival and 2049.
>>214453518Thank you for your service
>>214453614You're thinking of Gilles de Rais; he was gonna be the subject of Pasolini's 3rd film in the style of Salo. I would sell my anus for that film.>>214453625Dunno, last time I checked on that n word was with Dune, -which was pretty enjoyable-, though I don't really care that much for his type of cinema.
>>2144536742nd film The 3rd one was going to be a film about war That would've been the Trlogy of Death
>>214453606I like the film because the motives and actions of the real villains aren't really that important and by the time you learn what they are they seem ludicrous The meat of the film is how people respond to the actions of the villains It's kind of like High and Low By the time we arrive at the end we're a bit disappointed when the villain simply rants and then has a mental breakdown because we expect more but I loved it and thought it was perfect >>214453614Gilles de rais?
INTO THE CRYPT OF RAIS OUGH
>>214453674>>214453713Yes that is the guy!Did not know that was gonna be a Pasolini film. Damn shame we never got it.
>>214453732>Gilles de rais?Yes. It would be awesome to see a biopic of him but then again there isn’t a single director today who could probably do it right.
>>214453713I didn't even know about the war film. Still, I think Pasolini's death is the worst event that happened to cinema by far.>>214453732High and Low's villain dude reeing at the end is one of the most relatable / realistic ways of coping with failure I've ever watched on a film.
>>214453785Takashi Miike
>>214453393hell yeah
>>214453743CIRCLE OF THE TYRANTS
>>214453807Yeah but I mean realistically, cause Miike isn’t French and I don’t know how much he knows about the nuances of French speech and behavior so it could backfire like most directors do when they work overseas.

Despite the protests of an elderly padre ('Guy Rolfe') and of war correspondent Max Anderson (Leo McKern), Langford orders Sergeant McKenzie (Gordon Jackson) to shoot two innocent villagers, thereby "persuading" a Japanese informer to surrender vital information. When the Japanese recapture the village, their commander uses Langford's own desperate war-born tactics in a similar effort to extract information from the British.

Hi /film/, after much delay due to moving house over the course of this summer, the text of my new translation of Mishima: A Life In Four Chapters is finished. I just need to fine-tune the line breaks and subtitles timings and I'll be putting it on Soulseek, but first I could do with a couple of folks here taking a look at it as it stands and letting me know if the timings are at least broadly appropriate, or if you think they average way too short to read in time. The quicker folks respond the quicker I can get this polished and out there properly:https://mega.nz/file/So4wCRpJ#mNBKV_pdEaeH8CJLwsWkoxKRIzw4gak1ABm3v1_5De8Since this version isn't final, please don't spread it yet. I expect to have the polished version out next week if I get replies by the end of the next thread.Because of the way the Japanese language works (i.e. in some cases words we use several syllables for, they can express in one or two syllables) my translation is necessarily going to be wordier than the official 'translation' dubtitles, and I'm sure some won't be happy with some word choices or others, but alongside this more natural/liberal translation I will also be publishing a hyper-literal translation simultaneously, and I'll also be uploading my translation notes explaining what things I'm not sure of, and the couple of dozen lines where I've deviated from what's being spoken to varying degrees e.g. to make something that translates awkwardly read clearer in English. I recommend holding off on any criticisms about the translation itself until after I publish my notes regarding my choices. At this stage I'm primarily interested in feedback about the subtitling.What I am certain of is that my translation constitutes an upgrade over the previous translation, which for whole sections of dialogue switches to totally different topics to what the characters are talking about, and thus has been worth doing.

Did you know Yes and Deep Purple are still releasing new material? Who's listening to it exactly, I'm not really sure
>>214474095Crazy how Yes is still releasing new stuff given most of the original members either quit (Anderson), retired (Bruford), or died (Squire). Are Steve Howe and Alan White still playing?
This Jimbo guy was kind of badass, ngl
>>214474095Yeah, I don't think their material of the last 20 years sucks massive ass, but it's obviously mid as hell when compared to their classic albums. It's evident that recording albums is a business for some bands, but I think the world would be a better place if we had more artists going the Acid Bath route: 2 classic albums and quitting the band when it isn't it anymore. KC is kind of a good example of a group which works in a live setting even though they don't record music anymore. Either do it right or don't do it.
>>214474666Anon.... Alan White died 3 years agoHowe is the only real member left. The others are mainly hired guns. And he wasn't even a founding member or the main songwriter, I'm pretty sure he's only using the name Yes instead of 'Steve Howe band' because it's easier to advertise the shows.
>>214474886>spoilerOh fuck me.>I'm pretty sure he's only using the name Yes instead of 'Steve Howe band' because it's easier to advertise the shows.True. Anyone with ears and eyes can tell it's all but a tribute act at this point. I remember 5-10 years ago watching the current band perform Heart of the Sunrise live on Youtube and it was so sluggish, so lethargic compared to the original song. Seeing Howe up on stage struggling the play those fast guitar runs at the beginning genuinely bummed me out. I've always been a huge fan of Bruford and Squire given how incredible they are together in Yes, so when Squire died, I remember thinking they should've ended it right then and there. Yet they're still playing to the peanut gallery…

It's shaping up to be another 2-day long thread.
>>214475175>I've always been a huge fan of Bruford and Squire given how incredible they are together in Yes, so when Squire died, I remember thinking they should've ended it right then and thereOh, absolutely. They were the heart (heh) of the band. I feel a similar way about The Who, without Keith Moon and Entwistle, they're just an embarrassing couple of granddads.Bruford's memoir is superb. He's a surprisingly good writer (assuming he didn't hire a ghostwriter, but I doubt it, since he's very witty and well-spoken in interviews) and there are lots of intriguing anecdotes.

>>214489810>Masamura adapting Junichiro Tanizakigo figure, even Tinto Brass wasnt perverted enough in his adaptation>>214489045would Yukio Mishima have been a fan of the Evangelion rebuilds?
>>214489810Japanese cinema is only about perversion. That or humanism. They are a Godless nation, they never accepted Christ.
>nudity = perversionthis is your mind on amerimutt puritanism
>>214490690>Not only was it absolutely dull as fuck in more ways than one, the philosophy behind it is reprehensible. The cinematography was decent but that's it.Which one was it?
>>214486734well yes that's why people say "see you tomorrow" but we did not in fact see them niggas tomorrow. if /film/ has about 10 people in it and 2 or 3 leave that's going to cause a huge dent, moreso than if it was 30 people posting and got cut down to 28
>>214489045The only truly bad one is 3.33, though I agree that 1.11 was a bit meh.
>>214490845
>>214489083One of the best horror movies of all time. Very emotional, too.
Greetings and salutations Gadonbros
>dude do you see this landscape that is there in real life captured on film in an artsy way?
>>214491105This is talked about in the Mishima film lol
>>214491075I love Sarah Gadon
>>214491105Honestly one of the best tropes of all time in film.
how many blind women does it take to clean house?
>>214490719>>214489045I'm actually meant to be doing Evangelion next, its reputation gets simplified down into "it's about depression" when really if anything it's about the cost of unaddressed trauma on society and families/gendered relationships; and also the escapism stuff being about how it's a false economy, rather than a moral judgement. Stems partly from the usual asian metaphysics but also Anno was beaten by his father growing up, who had lost a leg in an industrial accident and had unaddressed PTSD (attitudes to mental illness being more haphazard in Japan back then) from it he was taking out on his son blindly.
>>214491436Or to be precise, I promised some oldheads I'd be working on it 3-4 years ago, got partway in, and realised my Japanese ability wasn't up to scratch so I went on a detour and did the Mishima film as practice. Now I've gotta dive back in.
>>214491436You mean doing the Eva /a/ or the /film/s?
>>214491371The answer appears to be five.>>214491313For me, it's conversation that points out how a character could become an actor. His ass is an actor in that very moment but doesn't know it because there's a sadistic director trapping him on cellulite that gets shown to people who don't deserve it. All for some coin.
>>214491489Only EoE is /film/, the rebuilds are capeshit tier.
>>2144915534.44 ate, I said.
>>214491489The original run, although the writing is inferior I'm not against the idea of including the Rebuilds for completionism's sake but the dialogue's so much more rudimentary and mostly technobabble that I haven't decided if there's enough extra benefit there to be had to justify re-translating them yet.
>>214491646You seem pretty savvy on japanese things; do you have a top 5 of your favorite japanese or asian films?
after much deliberation the /film/ council has decided that we will merge with /kdg/
>>214491696Not him, but this is the last Japanese film that truly blew me away.
>>214491696Actually, there's a lot of Asian, European, and classic cinema I haven't seen, because I only like watching films for the first time either in the cinema or on BD-mux quality rips, which I don't find a lot of reliable sources for. My favourite director is Leos Carax, particularly for Mauvais Sang and Pierre, though my favourite film work of all time is probably The Act Of Killing (Director's Cut) + The Look Of Silence, I think it's such a brilliant document of the human condition in ways beyond the particular political context it's presented as the story of. The part where the Pancasila guy is describing a rape he committed and says "It might have been hell for you, but it was heaven for me" lays bare the utter inability of political theory to contend with the sheer animal forces in the heart of darkness humanity is creating for itself, the part where Anwar Congo tries to blag at the end that he now knows how his victims felt and Josh Oppenheimer interjects to remind him that in their case they weren't acting presages so much of the last 10 years of politics and the vortex of Spectacle we're being sucked down into, and the western-style shopping mall representing the death of the human spirit upon confrontation, through its excess and ill-discipline, with its own nonsense and finitude, gives me the same chills as a biblical morality play. It's like a Gaspar Noe or Lars Von Treir esque nightmare you can't wake up from because it's our real life. Josh Oppenheimer manages to cram a lot into that film, crafted out of happenstance, under the surface. In 50-100 years, if it isn't buried and there is anyone emotionally intelligent enough left, I think it'll be looked back on and studied as one of the historically great artistic works from our time. https://youtu.be/P4WQOFX77fQ?si=gVVwvSJuuLJ_fZvkAlso call me a normie but The Tale Of The Princess Kaguya might be my favourite animated film I've ever seen.
>>214490822i was going to disagree by using ballad of orin 1977 as an example, but it too is perverted. the blind woman who plays the main character lusts after men and getts fucked and trucked by just about anyone.>my body feels so cold. why won't you warm me?she remarks despite it being summer. she even attempts to fuck her guide on multiple occasions because pervert.
Battle Royale is my favourite post-classics era Japanese film and that's a hill I will die on.
Did anyone see the remake of Harakiri? Was it shit?
>>214492399My condolences.
>>214492383>The Act of KillingI've never watched it but I'm very interested in the topic. Do you have any other brutal documentaries you'd like to rec?>KaguyaI will actually watch it for the first time in a few weeks, because my plex is doing a Ghibli retrospective atm.>>214492399It is an amazing film, and I still wait for the day we get a death game flick on its level.
>>214492566>death gameThis is just anime for grown ups. Grow up, weeb
she can be seen naked (without clothes) at minute 50
>>214492586At least you like pro wrestling. For me it's HBK.
>>214492593Whoa, a naked Asian lady. This is why I watch cinema. Thanks for the tip.
>>214490940Bet you have crooked feet, huh.Tbh I'm not as familiar with his color-era films, but it's one of those things where his style gradually got more ascetic and minimal as his infirmities approached. Ideally you're meant to start with something 'normie'-friendly (not really) like Pickpocket or A Man Escaped, then gradually work your way chronologically, and eventually you start appreciating the more idiosyncratic qualities of the filmmaking. I feel like even going from one of his early films straight to that would leave the viewer extremely befuddled.I think.
>>214492566The action is remarkably solid for a film starring unknown teenagers and I really like the Kitano performance too.>>214492586It's action/horror/comedy just like shaun of the dead etc but its bad because japan?
>shaun of the redditNot /film/, fuck off normgroid
>>214492718Battle Royal is not /film/That is why /film/ is deadThe posters dont understand /film/
>>214492880We are in the post/film/ era. Everything is /film/. Even Chinese cartoons.
>48 hour thread KWAB
We're all chinese here.
>>214493056>Even Chinese cartoonsNope.jpeg
>>214492880Fuck off retard. You're the reason this general is garbage.
1 hour and 10 minutes, the blind woman turns back to fucking and trucking because like a lot of women, in particular japanese women, lust determines their pathway in life
>>214493056what about korean soaps?
QOTSD: You're tasked with creating a film about the first random wikipedia article you'll get. What's the log line of your new film?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RandomMy article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tour_of_Black_SeaMy answer: A multi-day cycling race is forced into a single day cycling race by the appearance of a million angry birds out for revenge. The title is stylized Birds (in turkey) (2026)
>>214493295Odd, because I never post in here. Perhaps it is YOU. No patricians post in here, sir. We left this turd years ago.
>>214493415>No patricians post in here, sir.But Gadonbros post in here.

>>214493439Awesome botox filler face. Her face cant even move LOL. No, thanks
>>214493523Silence cuck
>>214450739cast the /film/ equivalent
>>214492662Kek I actually have flat feet so I liked the opening discussion about foot tread. It's not something brought up often in film.>I feel like even going from one of his early films straight to that would leave the viewer extremely befuddled.I'd only seen Pickpocket prior and thought it was great. I wasn't expecting anything in particular but there was practically nothing to grasp at here. Unfocused message, insufferable protagonist, sluggish pace, dull acting, nonexistent editing… I was filtered hard. The only part that got any sort of reaction out of me was the baby seal clubbing.
>>214493446Rec a 1 to 2 hour film that isn't gonna make me sleep.
>>214450739So /film/ who's going to be watch Sarah Gadon's new kino in theatres this week?
