the absolute state of this guy
epic fail. marty supreme gets rave reviews at surprise nyff screening meanwhile this dork is walking around with a sandwich board at an amc three blocks away begging people to watch his flop. josh won, benny lost
KWAB
>>215082933he will be fine>win best director award at Venice>film is a bit polarizing, but was acclaimed by most critics>praised for being able to turn The Rock into a respected dramatic actor
What even happened between the two brothers? Do they hate each other now?
>>215083648hi benny
>>215082933these movies are funded under "brand development" and are tax write-offs anyway, they make these for awards, not for money. If profit were motivating wes andersons slop, he rightfully would have been out of a job by moonrise kingdom
>>215083700Wes Anderson was in the green on the majority of his films. Some are even hits.
>>215083749What does "in the green" mean, anon?
>>215083749The expression is "in the black."
it was a mistake to work with the pebblehe now carries the familia curse
>>215082996This is pretty based actually
I find him so unsettling to look at, I think it's his weird mouth. I don't like him. I don't want to see him any more.
>>215083928>>215084116my bad, but grossed more than the budget obviously
I curse you
>>215082933>dude what if I completely ripped off scorsese raging bull and put the rock in itfuture genius of modern american cinema
>>215084116ong?
>>215082933He looks like Marlon Brando took a shit.
>>215084759Did you mean Brando in the process of taking a shit or that he looks like something Brando shit out?
>>215084800
>>215082933First time I saw this guy was in Happy Gilmore 2 and I thought he had makeup or prosthetics on to make him look like a dumpy goofball jew... turns out that is just how he looks.
>>215082933Don't be mean to him, he posts here.
>>215082933He makes actual polarizing and nuanced kino while Josh makes "MY HECKIN ANXIETY ADRENALINE RUSH!!!!" kino for Letterboxd users and ADHD-ers.
>>215087180what the fuck is nuanced about Smashing Machine
>>215083650Benny keeps insisting that there is no beef and they did take a photo together at The Smashing Machine premiere recently. But neither Josh nor Benny have thanked each other in their acknowledgment speeches at Venice and NYFF even though they thanked friends and family.
>>215083650they're trooning out soon
>>215083650rumor is that Benny is an ardent zionist while Josh is antizionist
>>215082933the millennial ethan coen
>>215083700I heard Wes Anderson always gets funding because some billionaire guy is his friend and fan of his movies.
>>215087248We pay to see MMA fights and find them exciting but real life domestic fights like the ones between Dwayne and Emily are just sad and uncomfortable. Everyone in the movie is going through literal pain, either physical or emotional in almost every scene.
>>215083650after uncut gems Josh hung out with Abel and did a lot more coke than he was already doing
>>215082996I think this guy just loves attention, that's why he puts himself in front of the camera even for other people's movies. His brother is more into writing and introverted. That's why they probably stopped working together.
>>215084365He apparently ripped-off shots and scenes straight from the 2002 Smashing Machine documentary too. There's some reviews saying that this 2025 movie is like watching a remake of the 2002 documentary.
>>215087302Yes, and not only is that guy literally a multi-billionaire but he owns the Criterion Collection company too. Look up Steven Rales.
>>215088258the other one stays behind the camera because he is cartoonishly hideous.
i'm inspired by him, he looks as ugly as me and is in everything he wants to be in
>>215083650SAG rules changed regarding directing credits, so the brothers don't have to stick together anymore and can pursue their own projects. same reason why the Coens are doing their own thing now too.
>>215082933Why did he break up with his brother?
>>215082933How can you even stand looking at this disgusting kike?
He's a great actor, great range to go from Stars at Noon to Good Time to Oppenheimer
>>215088424>because he is cartoonishly hideousHe is a little troll, but Benny isn't much better. There's a reason him playing the retard in Good Time was so believable, and it wasn't just his acting.
>>215087297Based Josh
>>215088424>>215088943be nice
The Smashing Machine was pretty good, watched it last night. I’d give it a 7/10. Kind of hilarious to get a rock tequila ad before it. Will make a good double feature to go with The Wrestler
>take risks doing something different and pushing actors out of their comfort zone instead of doing some slop>AHAH he didn't do as much money as capeshit movies and jumpscare slopI don't care about this kike in particular or the rock or A24 but hate how even on 4chan people think making hollyjews richer = good movie.
Haven’t seen Smashing Machine but I want him to make something as good as The Curse again
>>215087297Too bad cos Josh seems like he beats women
>>215088686>hypernormalisation damn what a pseud faggot
>>215082933Is he white?
>>215088337haven't seen the film yet but the trailer is full quotes and scenes from the documentary which I love
>>215090778it's somehow the most popular Curtis but I found it one of his weakest
>>215089251I would argue Smashing Machine is slightly The Curse-coded as far as look, pacing, and aesthetic goes. The story is the weak link but that's because it's a biopic
the scene in Heaven Knows What where dudes with stringy long black hair are listening to black metal on a public library computer in NYC while one of their girlfriends tells them she's gonna kill herself and they ignore her is one of the most realistic scenes I've ever seen, like something out of Gummo>>215090864no
>>215090864he's dominican
>>215091559>while one of their girlfriends tells them she's gonna kill herselfThe whole film is based on that actresses experience as a homeless woman in NYC. The film certainly nails it when it comes to scumbag hobos.
>>215088383>Steven Raleskek, shots fired
>>215082933Loved Benny Safdie in Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret
>>215082933>Cross the room if you think OP is a faggot>Does a 360 and walks away
He deserves it for betraying his brother...
>>215087307i already watched rocky 25 years ago tho
>>215089049yeah. I'm cold. yeah.
>>215082933He looks very Ashkenazi.
I was shocked to discover he wasn't actually a retard like in Good Time. He has the look.
>>215083650One still browses here. The other does not
>>215092999he walked through blood and bones in the streets of manhattan looking for his brother
>>215082933this guy looks like someone fucked up their shepard in the character creation menu
>>215094492lmao
>>215088679>same reason why the Coens are doing their own thing now too.The one that made that boring awful dyke movie needs to go crawling back to his brother. Dunno which is which but that one was the retarded brother
>>215095661>one brother made anti-normie art>the other is making lesbian schlockat least we know who was the driving force behind specific movies now
>>215082933>>215082996The Smashing Machine is the only new Safdie film I've heard of. I don't even know what the Ashkenazi looking one made.
>>215096115that's because you're stupid and unaware
>>215096115Smashing machine has the rock in it so it gets much more attention but also >>215096146
stop bumping this jewish shit
>>215096296>stop talking about movies on the movie board
>>215088992>OppenheimerHoly fuck that was him? He played Teller. Fucking based.
>>215088679>same reason why the Coens are doing their own thing now too.Joel has been doing nothing for the past four years and his brother is going through an extended humiliation ritual with his lesbian wife with whom he has an open-relationship.
>>215096296Stop being stupid and unaware?
