Queen of /film/
>Lose yourself deep in my eyes.
>>220952619>Shamone! Hee-hee!
>>220952547Why mineralismo man? Why Arrabal??
I'm a hole licka.
>>220952547Who's the best director from Absurdistan?
What does one get out of constantly pretending to be someone else?
>>220952678You think every woman looks like MJ
>>220952678>WHO'S BAD
>>220953172Imitation is the highest form of flattery. I guess I should be flattered that someone takes time out of their day to skin walk me?
>>220952793like Jodoroswky, he's a meme in his home countrybut he's very well respected in the intellectual french circles, as if he was a spanish Jorge Semprún or Julio Cortázar
>>220953699*as if he were
IN THE FIRST PLACE, IT'S PROBABLY JUSTPARANOOOOOIIIIAAAAAA
>>220953699I assume that second line does not also refer to Jodorowsky? I mean, not even people who low-key enjoy his films respect the guy.
>>220953591skinwalker
Arrabal and Jodorowsky took the character way too seriously... they would have been better off just doing normal shit instead of doing the le spiritually enlightened misunderstood artisté routine for the rest of their lives.
>>220953591>Imitation is the highest form of flattery.Very true. I've been dealing with someone doing it to me for a good two years now and I'm curious when they're gonna finally hang it up or get permabanned….>>220954117>mfw
>>220953591>>220954117>>220954238I guess that all there really is to say about it is that ultimately I'm always delighted to see the thread Bautified whether by my hand or another's.
>>220954087one thing is watch his movies and read The Incal and another is watching him doing stupid pseudosanteria rituals and dancing naked while trying to score with some alternative hippie chicks
>>220954401Jodo's less talented kid (Cristóbal) went full into the guru route, the other sons tried to be in theater and musicbut like his father; the goal of 99% of that shit is trying to fuck with some alt-chicks

>>220954238>>220954300Happy to see my friends here! Good evening darlings.
>>220954577Agalloch?
>>220954710Yeah they sampled that once. I think either John or Don was a film student.
>>220954577Love that song, might be the only good thing in Fando y Lis.
>>220954646We're all friends here.
Pale Folkore > From Which of This Oak > Ashes Against the Grain > The MantleDead Winter Days is their best tune.
>>220954769Some of the abuse scenes look like Spopovich vs. Videl in DBZ lol
>>220938731The Schooly D acoustic cover is incredible
>>220954960Hell yeah it is. "Can't say it, can't say the word", kek.
Okamoto's The Human Bullet is an excellent absurdist WWII comedy, probably my favourite war film from "the other side".
>>220955012For me it's>The Human Condition>Red Angel>Under The Flag of The Rising Sun>Fort Graveyard>HanagatamiFort Graveyard is relatively unknown considering it stars Mifune.
>Day of the Dead will be out on 4K in a few days>some random German company just put out an AI upscaled version>now all private trackers are littered with the AI version and the proper 4K will most likely get ignoredsame fucking deal with Herzog's Nosferatu and I hate it
>>220955214Makes one want to flip cars and set buses on fire doesn't it?
I did the AI upscale.
>>220955214Be the change you wish to see in the whirl
>>220955433Some AI upscales are surprisingly good.Others are uncanny.Others are a downright scam. "4K upscale" and that shit still looks 360p.
>>220955138>Red AngelOne of the few Masumuras i'm yet to see. Have it downloaded already.
>>220954646Priceless edit.
>>220955594>>Red AngelThe trvth nvke is that the world is cruel and the world is impure, but it's also beautiful.
>>220955476I know nothing about AI upscaling, but I recently watched Ghosts and was wondering what you guys thinkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHaUz1zkvNwdid they do a good job with it? I compared it to a few other versions I found online and this one looks the cleanest by far. it’s the only one where I can actually make out what’s going on. Maybe too clean to a trained eye?
>>220955945Life is a never ending series of both blackpills and whitepills.
This short low-key nailed the The Sims (Maxis, 2000) aesthetic.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z27z7oLQb3o
>>220955822Rare Jess pic.
>>220955945RNs actually enjoy the blackpills because they let us play the game of being the hero or villain of our story...
The world is an epic win, Ryuk
Who are your favorite old-school detectives? Detective Marino from Dressed to Kill is cracking me up.
>>220956703Phillip Marlowe of course.
>>220956721Which version of Marlowe though?
>>220956799Bogart.
>>220956703Also, why did De Palma love the diopter shots so muchLike, yeah they look cool but they also take you out of the movie.
>>220956703Maltese Falcon dude -acted by a RN-, is a RN.
None of those hard-boiled detectives are old school, mein niggas.
>>220956891What do you mean by old school then?
>>220956891This guy gets it. I’m talking about guys like Popeye Doyle, or Scarface detention center cops “Where’d you get the beauty scar, tough guy? Eating pussy?”
>>220956909Poirot, Holmes, Dupin, the list goes on.
>>220956933He doesn't: >>220956939
>>220956933You should've just said 'old school cop' instead.
>>220956933Then unironically L, Near and specially Mello, lol
I'm always bored with noirs. I also really don't care for 'sharp' or 'witty' dialogue.
>>220956976>You should've just said 'old school cop' instead.>Both the examples I've listed are detectives
>>220956986Well, I guess you're a lot smarter than the rest of us, eh genius?
>>220956956You guys aren't media literate enough to recognise what is an old school detective.
>>220956529Indeed. I've never posted that one before.
>>220957047How the Edogawa Ranpo dandruff suffering detective from the Ichikawa adaptations?
>>220957192How about*
>>220956986I get it, fast, witty dialogue can become quite insufferable.
Hard-boiled dude > piece of shit sleazebag > old time "gets conclussions from thin air"-"Eureka, I got it!" "detective"
>>220957013Yeah, but they're police detectives, and when you say detectives most of us will think private dicks.
>>220957267This guy has no deduction or induction power. Massive skill issue.
>>220957323Aha! You said you were a millionaire, yet you have dust in your shoes! You killed that woman in the desert, didn't you!?
Elementary, my dear retard.
>>220957387Bro just because I'm a murderous Mormon magnate that often roams the desert with a sniper rifle don't mean shit!
>>220957387I said I was rich, inspector, not that I could afford clean shoes in this rotten town!
>>220952547BRING BACK LLOYD
If I get my dick sucked in Qatar, am I at risk of dying?
>>220957509Nah, we good.
>>220957631Doesn't look like
>>220957671We good, trust the plan (or get "disappeared")
>>220957727Careful
I plead guilty to the crime of eating tight, wet puthy, your honor.

>A hundred Italian films to be saved (Italian: Cento film italiani da salvare) was established in 2008 by the Venice Days sector of the 65th Venice International Film Festival, in collaboration with Cinecittà Holding and with the support of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage. It was edited by Fabio Ferzetti, film critic of the newspaper Il Messaggero, in collaboration with director Gianni Amelio and writers/critics Gian Piero Brunetta, Giovanni De Luna, Gianluca Farinelli, Giovanna Grignaffini, Paolo Mereghetti, Morando Morandini, Domenico Starnone, and Sergio Toffetti.https://archive.org/details/a-hundred-italian-films-to-be-saved

Who's arguing with him? Catfaggot? Just stop man

More Carax news. This dude REALLY fucking loves motorcycles, doomed lovers, and the colour green.

This song has been stuck in my head since I watched this scene in Ms .45, and frankly it should be the /film/ national anthem.https://youtu.be/KCjMZMxNr-0?si=x4_M2eHsxgtOzBbF
>>220961778Heard this in the supermarket today. Parts of it really remind me of Jerk It Out by The Caesars.
>>220961762I think you mispronounced "Caraxkino"
just finnished masturbating to nastassja kinski. which selection of images, you ask? i, uh. gotta go sorry,
>>220961715Jenna is finally gonna be /film/.
>>220961910You're a thread late buddy
>>220961778
>>220961910For me, it's her Rolling Stone cover photo. Absolute gumdrop nipple perfection.
>>220962023As if I couldn't love her even more
This Kinski shit's gotta be samefagging.
>>220962363You think everyone is samefagging because of Fixfag.
I would never samefag. That shit is gay.
>>220962492TRVTH NVKE
>>220962492t. Not the Kinskiposter
Why does no one ever post Nicolai Kinski?He's way more active as an actor these days than his sister, has arguably a more prolific career, and as far as I know, has never had a director retract any nude scenes of his half a century later.
>>220962023>>220962268
>>220962517Having had to deal with you-know-who's absolutely Biblical levels of samefagging in my standalone threads has given me a particular distaste for the practice.>>220962671Those crazy kids, I'll tell you huwaht.
>>220962671I wish she'd rob me at gunpoint...
>>220962849I wish she would rob my semen at pussypoint.
>>220962849She really had the most stunningly beautiful brown eyes I've ever seen, impossible to stop looking at.
>>220954646*smooch*
>>220962950Listen up buster. I'm ovulating. Take your fucking cock out and breed me. I have a .45 with me so don't get cute. Don't ask any stupid questions. You will never know who I am. You will never find me. You will never find out what happens to your child. Now, shut the fuck up and fill me the fuck up.
... So it's an election year-
>>220964531>an election yearI once knew a Chinese guy who had multiple elections a day.
>>220964558and by any chance did you suck his cawk?
>>220964558Heh.
>>220964558
>>220964617>A Johnnie To FilmLike Yin to Yang
>>220964748Girls either love or fucking despise Buffalo '66. It's almost funny how polarized the reactions are to that film.
>>220963801Can I get a gofile? This looks better than the dogshit YIFY rip I got a while ago and I've been meaning to rewatch it.
>>220964889Sure. It's upping
>2023+3>i am forgottenfunny how fast these festival darlings "best movie of the year" disappear from the public talk
>>220965270>une pelicula de fallen aki kaurismäki leaves la mejor melicula delañoOkay.
>>220965270Kaurismäki is a very niche artist, I've seen more people bring up Fallen Leaves than any of his other films

>>220965429Cheers.Ferrara/film/ is kind of an interesting development.
>>220966099It's more zoeworship/film/ but it's nice. Will probably watch Bad Lieutenant from him next.
>>220966479>zoeworship/film/Surely I can't be the only one who found Darlene Stuto way cuter?
>>220966479I rarely find top Letterboxd reviews funny but the one for Bad Lieutenant sincerely made me laugh.
for me it's nonsense/film/
>>220966552I had the same thought at the beginning of the film, but Zoe grew on me. I still find Stuto to be a cute!
>>220966634
>>220967331Hell yeah dude.
>>220967569Still haven't seen that one. Have it downloaded though.
>>220967569>sound of flat titties flapping
>>220966552>>220967313Wow, she is way more my type than Zoe.
RIP Indio Solari
Does anyone else ever see a Letterboxd profile, think "oh that's a cool profile, I should follow it", but then you notice their ratio is like 150 following/1,500 followers and immediately lose interest?
>>220967569Harriet Potter
>>220968849If you felt that, then it wasn't worth following in the first place.
>>220968817Never heard of him. His music seems pretty decent. Interesting at the very least, from the quick listen I just gave a few songs. The language barrier doesn't really allow me to make any deeper a judgement.
I miss the 80s
Are there any non-linear narrative films that engage with contemporary monetary systems?
>>220970203This but the 70s.
>>220970590>engage with contemporary monetary systemsFrankly, I'm not sure what you're even asking for here.
>>220970990Monetary transactions with methods of the time of the film's release?
>>220967331Stav sucks so much.
>>220966099Yeah, it's cool, but i wish people were watching more of his films instead of hyperfixating on this one; his 90s filmography is great.
>>220971001I fear that doesn't clear up anything.You want a film that is about people paying other people?
>>220971577that's his whole schtick though, he obsesses over one actress and then moves on to the next one. not really hyper-fixating on the film just actress in the film.
>>220971684I'm hyper-fixated on cinema and I cherish the people who are in films, some more than others. I'm far from the only Zoebro anyways.
Turns out the "nude" scene that bitch Nastassja is complaining about is not a nude scene at all - she's wearing panties - all it is is 15 seconds of tits in the dark; 15 seconds of tits in the dark and this cunt is whining about it 50 years later. As for the film it left me with the same question as all of Wender's films i've seen: "why is this guy praised so much again?"
incredible production value, period accurate costumes, gigantic sets, a cast of thousands, LIVE LIONS walking around the main star and pulling a chariot......and it's kinda boring
>>220972123>...and it's kinda boringProbably still a way better retelling than Nolan's upcoming Odyssey/Illiad mishmash.
>>220972123maybe it was the music? I watched the wikipedia version which is 640x480 maybe it was that?The Nibelungs is from the same year and it's a thousand times better
>>220971577>his 90s filmography is great.I'm more of an Addiction guy myself but I haven't seen Bad Lieutenant yet. Is it really his best? I thought Stipetic's spiritual sequel was pretty good.
>>220972201>The Nibelungs is from the same year and it's a thousand times betterDie Nibelungen is by Fritz Lang.Helena is by Literal Who Setdesignman.That might have something to do with it.
>>220972265>Literal Who Setdesignmanhe died young, if he had stick around until Hitler came to power, maybe he could have made the definitive Odyssey movie with all that Nazi money
>>220972313Yeah, well, we'll never know.
>>220972257The Addiction is his worst film of the 90s and it's still very good.
>>220972186I'm kinda hyped for Nolan's Odyssey; the plane scene was 5 minutes long and it gave us the PEAK ERA of this godforsaken websiteand we still have daily Bane threads fifteen years latera whole movie like that... i can even dare to imagine it

We're all honoring the cafeteria here.
>>220974666The film is a journey without confrontations, without action, without epic or romantic intervals. In fact, Cavalry Honor answers the question that the viewer of westerns has undoubtedly asked himself at some point: what would the inseparable friends James Stewart and Walter Brennan from 'The Far Country' (Anthony Mann, 1954) do, for example, if they did not have a script that energizes their bodies? Well, they would do what the protagonists of Serra's film do: lie down, sleep, eat at times, look at the sky, move forward slowly, as if tired, with the horse and the donkey, and talk about a little bit of everything (about dogs, about the weather, about God and the feats he has entrusted to them, etc.). Or bathing in the river and then, on the shore, chatting serenely while munching on some walnuts, a scene that, without leaving the western, is reminiscent of a famous one by Richard Widmark and James Stewart in Two Ride Together (John Ford, 1961).It is a contemplative and parsimonious, ascetic work, with slow breathing and very long downtime, where nature and sounds (crickets, wind, water, dry leaves...) are harmoniously integrated with the figures of undeniable twilight air of Don Quixote and Sancho, often watered with a mocking humour, like the one distilled in the scene of the snails after the rain.
>Both are non-professional actors, unknown, as non-professional were all the actors of Robert Bresson, Ermanno Olmi and most of Pier Paolo Pasolini; these three directors, who, together with Jean-Luc Godard, Yazujiro Ozu and Aleksandr Dovzhenko, represent the inspiration for the entire cinematographic imaginary on which this film is nourished
Hey Albert, why do you keep pushing specifically your first film here? Shouldn't you be pushing your latest one?
>>220952547Started watching Army of Darkness for the first time.Am I in for a good time?
>>220975470It's ok, wasn't that fun.
>>220975470Evil Dead > Evil Dead 2 > Army of DarknessThe first one significantly mogs the other 2. Hell, I think the Spiderman Trilogy mogs the Evil Dead trilogy.
>>220975803>the Spiderman TrilogyNot an expert on this shit, but aren't there two of those?
>>220973683He said yes to the Inland Empire restoration and that was notably botched So maybe it's not a big deal
>>220975470Surprised by the authenticity of those costumes.They could be a bit more colorful, but still ahead of modern medieval slob, where everyone wears dark leather.
