>>215516475>wrong name in the subject line>didn't link the old threadYeah, this thread deserves to die.
>>215516115Isabella Rossellini's dad said Nazis were gay degen
>>215516115>making this OP when hornyposting is the lifeblood of this generalThe fuck were you thinking? Eros is this essence of kinoma btw.
>>215516991Cinema is when I get lost in Ingrid Bergman's eyes and dream of her soft, warm lips touching mine.
>>215516959He was right on the money.
>Le Carré spy thriller>directed by Sidney Lumet>starring James Mason, Simone Signoret, and my wife Harriet Andersson>soundtrack by Quincy JonesHow have I never heard of this???
>>215517630Someone must've cut the string between our tin cans 'cause I tried to tell you.
I watched The Friends of Eddie Coyle and I Know What You Did Last Summer today.Goddamn, Mitchum had swag. Goddamn, Gellar had tits.
Kasablanca?

>>215517630She monkey
>>215517630who lensed it
>>215516991There is truth to this, also. The last /film/ threads to hit the bump limit (>>215356659 >>215314262 >>215286759 etc) all featured chicas on the OP.>>215518359BASED.
>>215517779Pimpchum really was the coolest actor of his generation.
>>215517779>>215518544Mitchum or Bogie?
>>215518544Nigga didn't even have to try: he was already born fly.
>>215518548As a manlet I really wanna say Bogie, but it's definitely Mitchum. The Calypso album alone would secure it for him.
Is Harakiri actually good?
>>215518381This fellow by the name of Freddie Young, who also 'lensed' Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago (a Lean night!), but it doesn't really matter. Sidney Lumet was very deliberate about how his films looked, he wrote a whole book about it, in fact. >Someone once asked me what making a movie was like. I said it was like making a mosaic. Each setup is like a tiny tile (a setup, the basic component of a film's production, consists of one camera position and its associated lighting). You color it, shape it, polish it as best you can. You'll do six or seven hundred of these, maybe a thousand. (There can easily be that many setups in a movie.) Then you literally paste them together and hope it's what you set out to do.It's the director that picks the visual language, the cinematographer just helps him capture that vision.
>>215518513>The last /film/ threads to hit the bump limit (>>215356659 >>215314262 >>215286759 etc) all featured chicas on the OP./film/ is a gynolatric general.
>>215518621Overrated as a motherfuck, but still decent.
>>215518621Yes.
>>215518621The first half is a bit slow, but the second half is truly excellent imo.
We love our women here don't we folks!

>>215518625oh i watched solomon and sheba a few days ago, shit was ass>It's the director that picks the visual language, the cinematographer just helps him capture that vision.so the DP does all the work based on vague instructions or does a billion times more work while the director whines about "UHMMM THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE!!!" gotcha
>>215518646>The first half is a bit slowLetter of apology to /film/:I wrote this post thinking that the person I was replying to was, in fact, a normal guy not into classic joints, regardless if that's true or not.I'm in fact very fond of slow movies.Thank you.
>>215516115I watched Yi Yi and really liked it. I don't feel as if it is one of the best films of my life though... so I feel slightly underwhelmed... even I think it is a 9/10 film.
>>215519089>9/10Strong 7 at best.
>>215518690>does a billion times more work while the director whines about "UHMMM THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE!!!"I've seen Martin Scorsese (or was it Michael Mann?) say this once. That his main function as a filmmaker is complaining to his Director of Photography.
>>215518629> >>215314262God I love Shirley.
>>215519591Did you like that Helmet song? I'm not sure why they titled it that, but it's a good track.
>>215519602I didn't even know the song existed until this post but yes, I liked it. There's a serious Sabbath influence despite it being punk/noise rock.

>>215520801I am 28. I probably would have liked it more 5 years ago.
>>215525090That's the least of his worries wrt Shirlanon.
>>215525986Watch it again after you turn 30.But anyway, Yi Yi is a rare 10/10. ABSD is the even rarer 11/10. Watch it NOW.

>>215529455Jane Horrocks....I love her voice in that film
>>215530651I laughed when she responded TORY! when her sister called her dad's trailer an investmentGod it reminds me of the world from my childhood
>>215531299Ha, the scene where she's bickering with her mum and starts crying is definitely relatable.https://youtu.be/KGAWliosbao>I don't want friends.... They disappoint ya.

Gay general. Disgraceful to the board.
Straight specific. Graceful to the get off.
Would it be weird for me to "like" the movies I directed on Letterboxd? Nobody else has yet
It's fine Chris no one will judge you
>>215534254Fred?
>>215534504>>215534566I'm not anyone you've heard of unless you've been using these threads religiously for the past few years

>>215534871*2024time.... passes
Have any of the Lil Timmies read/seen any Noh?And don't reply with "No." I'll kick your ass, man.
>>215534895I've read NohThe one about the drum
>>215534895Nein, not outside of movies like Kawidan, but I've always felt more attracted to and entranced by Noh than the more popular Kabuki.
>>215534895Noh
>>215534795Thanks.
>>215535038Prepare thy buttcheeks
>>215535099You're well, cum.
I've been using this general on and off since the very first thread and I swear to you that once upon a time there was actual intellectual film discussion going on here
>>215534895I read a couple from Yukio Mishima
>>215532774he was trapped in a portrait until the ghostbusters released him
>>215535383I've been using this general since the /advanced/ days and I swear to you that these threads were always taylor made for low IQ subhumans.t. high IQ external observer
>>215535650Super Mario 64 was a documentary
>>215535598I was unaware that he did Noh. I assumed he only wrote European-style plays. Thanks.
>>215534795It was your wife’s boyfriend’s name
>>215535932lol
>>215535932It actually was though.
>>215536385I put my johnson inside a movie.

This is the gayest general on 4chan
>>215536564> Arthouse & ClassicsSounds gay af. Art house like gay bath house
>>215536564Yes, we are the happiest ones on 4chan.
/film/ - Gay Art Bath House & Classics
>>215536564Didn't catch the memo? We're 100% heterosexual straightshooters here. That's right, buddy, we're able to appreciate male beauty without resorting to lascivious parlance.
>>215536564what about kdg?
>>215536800If you ain't got lust for women, you gay, and korean dramas are just about kissing and cuddling and homo shit like that. Nigga you gay.
>>215536862K dramas are full of emotions like Heredditary. Very gay.
>>215536893> Heredditary
>>215534895I watched some Noh while working on my Japanese minor. Would like to get more into though. Any recs?
>>215536893Hereditary is alpha as fuck because they behead motherfuckers in that bitch. If you ain't barbaric you ain't alpha. RAHHH!
>>215536945uhhh why do you have a japanese minor?
>>215536997I used to live in Japan, and when I came back to the states I was able to test out of a bunch of the Japanese classes, so it made getting a minor trivial. It would have been stupid not to get one
>>215536945I'm a dilettante, so take this with a grain of salt: That Penguin Classics bundle I posted is pretty cool and accessible. It has a ton of notes detailing the historical context and the background of each play. I haven't actually watched any of the actual performances yet, though.
Finna watch Roma (1972).
>>215536997When I came back to the states, I felt so out of place. Everyone and everything felt so uncultured, so unrefined. It was like a land of cowboys and ruffians whilst Japan was cleanly and everything was spotless and shiny.

>>215516115Why are you against sexiness? We're adults.
>>215537581New here, is this movie actually good or just a meme?
Are Julianne Moore or Olivia Coleman /kino/
>>215537884Not a simp cuck.
>>215537896It's worth watching if you liked Buffalo '66 but it's nowhere near as good
>>215537916I'm surprised Julianne Moore hasn't been posted here more. She's very /film/.
>>215537980She looks like such a liberal
>>215537980Hasn't been posted here Moore, I mean
just watched the asphalt jungle… oooo gosh was it worse than all the other legendary noir films. so many characters, nobody to identify with or care about… such a convoluted plot. fast talking, hard to catch a lot of what’s said. north by northwest and in a lonely place were so much more enjoyable.
>>215537980>>215538278Moore has definitely been posted here before.
You guys have no taste.
>>215538640And no money, and no hope. But we stay lit...
>>215538327The difference in quality between it and The Killing being so pronounced is very telling.
>"Historical evocation of Ludwig, king of Bavaria, from his crowning in 1864 until his death in 1886, as a romantic hero.
