>2 hours of Elliott Gould using different ways to light a cigarette>it's kino anyways
>>216480346Whenever I smoke alone I practice lighting cigarettes and smoking in a cool way like Elliot Gould in The Long Goodbye (1973)
>>216480397You're going to die of lung cancer in your 50s. Sorry.
>>216480411>falling for the "if you smoke you'll definitely get cancer" memelol
>>216480427Remember this post when you're in hospital in a few years struggling to breathe.
>>216480346Now watch the definitive best Christmas robbery movie
>>216480411you wanna live forever?
>>216480528This movie was much better than I expected and it actually has a good ending and it subverts expectations too. It's so fucking annoying seeing those millennial fucks all proclaim about subverting expectations being some brand new thing that had never been done in mainstream film before. But almost every random 70s and 80s movie keeps you guessing till the last second and has twists and turns in the final scene that subvert your expectations 3 times over in 5 minutes and they ACTUALLY SUBVERT. No one questioned what was gonna happen in the shitty Star wars trilogy. They didn't subvert shit, it was exactly what everyone expected those woke retards to do
>>216480346Altman > Scorsese
>>216480528that is indeed kino, but I think I prefer Cash on Demand
>>216480649Mid wits and low IQ’s will disagree with this, stay stay strong high IQ bros
>>216480346It's funny I downloaded everything and went through it and all the kino's you guys are into are the same one's.
>>216480346>Let’s take a classic Raymond Chandler 40s LA noir and have it take place in at the time modern time m. Let’s make hard boiled Marlowe a Jewish hipster
>>216480685Yeah, I learned about that upon finishing this film and I do enjoy B/W films quite a lot but I'm skeptical so I guess I'll just have to check it out
Robert Mitchum was the most book accurate Marlowe. He was just too old when he played him. He should’ve played him during his Out of the Past days
>>216480595Millennials don't think millennials invented subverting expectations. We want to do it precisely to mime and try to get some praise from the boomers we're aping, who in their turn were aping fin-de-siecle / early modernist expectation subverters, directly or indirectly (say, through french new wave for example). At least try to understand the shit you claim to hate
>>216480788While adapting something into another medium you can use it as a springboard to create something different, yes.
>>216480788one of the greatest aspects of this movie is that he's not a hipster, he's literally Marlowe but out of time so he seems like a hipster
>>216480346No two ways about it. This is just a bad movie.Though there might be something to the fact that every plot point resolves itself without whatshisname; emphasizing his useless shuffling through the story.
>>216480928Yes millennial media critics that praise Nu-wars think they essentially invented subverting expectations. They literally write essays and give speeches about how every movie before theirs has the princess be a damsel in distress that has to be rescued by a MAN. You think millennials even know what French New Wave even is? They have no fucking clue. I have a friend with a degree in cinematography that works in Hollywood, he literally argued with me about how the Last Jedi was doing something impressive and new for a mainstream Hollywood film by subverting expectations. Since it seems you don't get this - I am a millennial, smack dab in the middle of it. I've know a dozen people that tried to argue with me about how new movies are breaking boundaries by subverting expectations. I honestly thought they were trolling the first time they used the phrase in real life, I thought there was no way they hadn't seen the memes about the phrase but no, they were 100% serious and ready to argue if anyone said differently. The fact you think millennials would ever read a book just goes to show you don't know shit about them. Even the literal Hollywood employed millennials don't give a shit about anything you listed. Trust me I've tried, Lord knows I've tried to make them watch French New Wave. They absolutely refuse.
>>216480788literally this >>216481047 , the point of the Long Goodbye is showing how a studio era harboiled detective would adapt to a New Hollywood style Neo Noir .>>216480346This flick and California Split is why Gould is my favorite actor .
