should I watch it?
>>220232576sure, why not, I didn't like it though
>>220232576Jonesy went from fighting Xenomorphs to this depressing artslop? What a downgrade...
>>220232576It's a great film by every technical standard, but it was a bit too mopey for my tastes. I also wasn't particularly interested in the subject matter.
>>220232576yeah, it's the coen bros
yeah it's kino. really influenced my chronic depression
>>220232576As someone who is obsessed with period pieces that depict a unique time and place in history I enjoyed it as a snapshot of the height of the New York beatnik folk scene. It had some funny moments too
Literally and unironically a 10/10
>>220232576let me guess, it's about a jewish immigrant struggling in xx century america?
>>220232917Nope, not even close
Are you currently depressed?
I have also been wondering about this recently, but I don't like folk music and it sounds lame.
the last great Coen movie
>>220232917Funny enough, it's about a talented gentile who fell through the cracks of an oversaturated scene due to a lack of good connections and the fact that he wasn't willing to be flashy or gimmicky in order to stand out.
Why is he stealing that cat?
>>220232716Sure it's mopey but if you look at it from the perspective of him deserving everything he's had coming to him. He purposely poisons all his relationships, takes the paths of most resistance and somehow still resents the world for being unfair, and in the end even his music didn't matter because the New York Times saw Bob Dylan play right after him and nothing that came before Dylan mattered any more.
>>220234098He was a true artist though. He put the integrity of the music above everything else even to his own detriment.
>>220232917it's literally about a goy failing in the folk music industry because he doesn't have the connections (((Bob Dylan))) did
It's really hard to get much out of it if you don't take folk music or music scenes seriously
>>220234098You're not exactly wrong, but this >>220234136
OUTERSPACEUH OH
>>220232576The cat tanking the car was unrealistic
>>220232917i don't think i've ever seen a post that starts with "let me guess" and isn't completely wrong
>>220233748>oversaturated sceneThe opening of Fritz the Cat finally makes sense https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZsdhKPUinU&pp=ygUdZnJpdHogdGhlIGNhdCBmb2xrIGJhbmQgc2NlbmU%3D

>>220232576>Justin TimberlakeYa I’m thinking kino
>>220232576I love the cones stuff but I was not a fan of this, there is just absolutely no one likeable in the film at all and it just kind of ambles about plotwise
>>220232576Watch the superior folk music movie instead.
The idea that Dylan just succeeded due to connections and wasn't writing incredible songs that were head and shoulders above any of his peers in the scene is kind of ridiculous. There were other guys with talent and some of them didn't make it in the end, like Jackson C. Frank for example, but while they wrote good songs they weren't nearly as prolific as Dylan who was just constantly producing quality content and there was always something near from him when he played. He's one of the most prolific songwriters in history. He's written so many songs, so many albums, and also toured more prolifically than a lot of his peers and for longer.
>>220235513Having Rolling Stone gargling one's balls for 50 years helps their image as well.
>>220232576I don't trust the Coen Bros. The make a good western in True Grit then completely undermine the entire movie with a feminist epilogue the movie never established. Mattie Rose (Hailee Steinfeld) should have been married with 10 kids.
>>220232576Inside his mouth or ass? What about his piss hole? What's the biggest thing you guys have ever put up your ass?
>>220235513Dylan is mediocre. I don't understand his popularity but I'm not mad about it. I am still mad about the Nobel though.
>>220235543Dylan was a critical darling years before Rolling Stone magazine was even created, anon.But really the difference with Dylan isn't just quality, it's output + quality. Lennon and McCartney wrote a lot but not nearly as much as Dylan, who had so many songs that he was just constantly forced to give them away, or not record them until years and years later
>>220235074Lol yep, that about sums it up
