Gotta say, it was neat finally seeing Jane Asher in something since I only ever knew her as the pale, freckly redhead McCartney dated during peak Beatlemania. She's even prettier than I remember and the proper Bri'ish accent suits her.Deep End is an excellent film as well, but that goes without saying. It delivers in essentially every aspect you can imagine right down to the ending.
>>222706375That's called GROOMING
>>222706412Mississippi Burning or The Color Purple.
>>222706478>“Jane is just a dream director to work with,” she says. “Working with a writer-director is so special too, because you know that passion is there and they have all the answers to your questions, and I think that’s just such a great collaboration, so more of that is what I look forward to.">Fix’s future is looking especially bright given her sensitive, all-in performance in Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. One key moment is a sex scene in the film-within-a-film that is dreamily layered in subtext. Without spoiling what happens, Schoenbrun’s general advice was to “let it happen, let it happen.”>“It was so nice to have all of that information, because when I got on set, I felt that it was in me, and I could let it go, and just be present in my body, so that all of those things that are happening internally can come out, and it’s not forced in any way,” Fix says.None of that is grooming.
>>222706451I'm nice, but I'm mentally ill and I think anyone can notice.The interesting part about it is that I've noticed getting drowned in pussy by extremely mentally ill women in these last few months since I've fully embraced the illness, even got messaged by a woman I used to talk to and sext which had a weird "no nudity" rule when we did sext and was super controlling... but her boyfriend died like 2 months ago and now she sends me nudes everyday and told me she wants me to rape her like her father did when she was a child. This world is a fuck, man.Films for these feels.
>>222706478>Grooming She is an adult nigga
>DUDE this movie is about AGP, I'M NOOTICING that the movie with "sex" in the title is about sex, such subliminal messaging >society is collapsing, nothing this fucked up was ever made before, demon satan, kikes!Meanwhile 2011 Spain:

>>222706728Transamerica was 2005.This whole seethe around trannies is astroturfed by this point, it's the same fucking conversations since 2018. Only "wins" against muh trannies happened because TERFs cried harder than trannies. Fucking Fox News had polls that showed that normalfags aren't swayed by muh trannies rhetoric.

finally met a beautiful 10/10 queen who claims to be a film nerd but she only likes mainstream slop directors like Ozu, Fassbinder, Max Ophuls. Her favorite movie is ON THE SILVER GLOBE!!! Barf!
>>222707937What's wrong with On the Silver Globe?
>>222707956The complete absence of things right with it.
>>222708024That's the appeal!
>>222707956The best explanation I've read of it is this: >>222708024
If you think every film should have coherent, structured, linear narrative you do not belong here
I really like watching medium budget movies from the 70s and 80s where they can afford a good crew but don't have enough money for a full costume department or sets so you get to see a fairly accurate snapshot of real life at the time, story aside.
>>222708314And how they often shoot on location in places that don't even feel real, like some fabled land frozen in time
>>222708168>structuredIf your narative isn't "structured" in any way, it's not a narrative to begin with. That structure doesn't have to be linear or coherent, it doesn't need to be obvious or conventional or a textbook case, but if you have any narrative, it will have some structure by definition.
>>222708370>If your narative isn't "structured" in any way, it's not a narrative to begin with.Says who?
>>222708412Common sense. Try to write a narrative and avoid it having any kind of structure. You'll find out that that's pretty much impossible, because everything you do to avoid structure will define that narrative in just a different way. Any way you bend it will give it structure.
>>222708168Zulawski just sucks at the traditional narrative style and also experimental narrative styles, thoughbeit. He would also suck at non narrative film art, if I say so myself.
>>222708478>everything you do to avoid structure will define that narrative in just a different wayNot how it works, at all. Lmao
>>222708356Even better if they have a really good cinematographer. I rewatched The Fabulous Stains today, Bruce Surtees did the cinematography and there's some really great shots of the protagonist looking down at the active massive steel plant in Johnstown, PA and a bunch of interiors that definitely don't look anything like that anymore.
It's kinda weird that the most notable summer film festivals are...Karlovy Vary and Tribeca You'd think summer would be a perfect time for a film festival. But instead a bunch of major festivals are squeezed on in the first half of Autumn.>Venice>Telluride >Toronto>New York>London>San Sebastian Winter has >Rotterdam >Sundance>BerlinSpring is also scarce >Cannes>South by Southwest >CPH: DOX>BFI: Flare (if you specifically have interest in queer films)Now on why this matters to me, so many fucking films end up premiereing way late into the year and so they often don't get to theatres until next year, VOD releases too. Berlinale and Cannes offset it a bit by having a really large program pool, with independent selections and such (Cannes has like three) but still. So many fucking festivals in Fall. Première the movies earlier and release the movies earlier please.
>>222708567The only thing that looked somewhat interesting was the new Refn because it was so polarizing. A lot of the best films of this century are divisive
>>222708586I watched it and it sucked. And I think The Neon Demon and Too Old to Die Young are his best work so I don't have an aversion to his meme neon period. But Her Private Hell genuinely was kinda ass. It's just weirdly stiff and not in the same melancholic way Refn usually is. I also hate the hapa male actor, he has an annoying face.
I'm stiff.
The guy who wrote Mysterious Skin (the novel) has a letterboxd account and unlike most "semi-celebrity / artist on letterboxd" he actually rates the films. No reviews tho. Also, he looks like a football jock, that's not the way I expected the author of Mysterious Skin to look like.https://letterboxd.com/scottheim/
Fisting kino.
>>222708738
>>222708803It was actually Mysterious Skin.

I watched Cruising (1980) with my mom
>>222708859They're doing this to me tomorrow
>>222708930did she fist you?
>>222708930Nice, what did she think of it?
>>222708859h-hot, we should bring back discipline on whitey
>>222708951She thought it was just okay. I think it lacked tension or spectacle for her. I also showed her Sorcerer and she loved it but not as much as she loves Jaws.
Only gay film my mom saw with me a little was Happy Together, she walked in the room as i was watching, sat down for a few minutes, saw the absolute faggotry on screen and said "gross. This doesn't bother you?", and after i said "no, not really", she watched for a few minutes more and then got up and left, kek.
>>222709056I was never a super big fan of Jaws, it's like a 7/10 for me. Were the conversations on the boat supposed to be tension building? Those characters did not interest me and I was, dare I say, bored. But there's still stuff to repsect about it. Fuck ass John Williams soundtrack tho, aside from the main theme. What's his fucking deal with whimsical fairy music? This is the first time Spielberg started doing this thing ai hate where he puts Hollywood fairytale whimsy where it doesn't belong. It was mostly fine through the 80s since he did mainly those whimsical movies where it fit, but it started getting bad by the 90s. I also have issues with Jurassic Park for that same reason. Like at the start the whimsy is fine, but in the middle of a movie it's tension breaking.
Watched Three Colors Blue tonight. Was filled with the uncontrollable urge to do two things:>try the coffee and ice cream thing>engage in a lengthy, passionate smooch session with the lovely Juliette Binoche (and her scrumptious neck mole)Thank you for your attention in this important matter.
>>222708526>Not how it works, at all.You're not particularly bright, are you?Do you know what the word "structure" means?
>>222709235
>>222709056I don't see how she could think Cruising lacked tension, it's almost all tension.
>>222701903>Literally the most fucking AGP movie in existence.>The entire thing is the director, saying he wants to be a woman lesbian, while being chased down and raped, which he will have the biggest orgasm ever because he's a dirty female slut and women obviously get off the hardest when they're sexualised and raped.>The whole point of being watched, is that he wants to see himself, as a woman, being raped, from the perspective the rapist, because he gets off on being seen as a woman.>Absolutely insane shit. I love how people are reviewing this film based on it's thin deep "feminist/lesbian" themes, when in reality, it's just a thin cover for him bragging about his AGP fetishism
>>222709234I think most people don't really pay much attention to soundtracks. Like they recognize it's vibe it's going for but nothing really past surface level. If anything something that beats you over the head like hans zimmer is ideal for most people.
>>222709339I'm surprised they nuked that thread, the OP is technically on-topic even if it's (You) Fixspammer. Nice ban evasion.
I'm getting many (You)s
What are some /tenebrism/ films?
>>222709339>check Wikipedia >its realWtf how is that actually the plot
>>222709454That's literally less weird than Crash
>>222709339>I love how people are reviewing this film based on it's thin deep "feminist/lesbian" themes, when in reality, it's just a thin cover for him bragging about his AGP fetishismThe guy who had this spergout doesn't realize that the actually consistently liberal worldview inevitably goes into sexual liberalism and in sexual liberalism sexual fetishism can in fact be tied to those other themes. Like to this guy fetishism is just "dick hard" with nothing else in there, but when you get into it, fetishism for many not only has further meaning but goes even beyond sexual attraction into more general attraction, like some people with fetishes experience them both sexually AND non-sexually. And obviously this can be tied into lesbianism and femenism and whatnot.Not to mention the fact that people can just have their own fucking interpretations, who cares what the intention was. Although I'm guessing it's too obvious to overlook when you're "in the know". This tranny ain't subtle.
I wish I could find that topster someone posted like a year or two ago of cool film scores. I got some good ones off of that. It had The Cooler, Candyman, OHMSS but I can't remember the others.
>>222709588Candyman is such a great movie, and a total gem amongst the 90s horror slop. There wasn't barely anything like it. The rest was lowbrow.
What are we thinking about the new Weezer album here, on /film/
>>222709703The whole "be my victim" dynamic thing is really interesting and not something I've seen much before
>>222706471Many are saying this.
>>222709723These niggas have put out nothing but slop since Pinkerton kek... I don't get why Rivers stopped playing guitar, he was way more talented than the other sloppers he hired for the band and he had no trouble singing and playing at the same time at all
>>222710310Maladroit was good
>>222710332I actually have it on vinyl, but never listened to it because I was so disappointed by the Green Album after everybody told me it was actually good and it turned out to be complete slop like usual, and I know I sound like a hater, but Blue Album and Pinkerton are like 9-9,5/10s both.
>>222709296Can you believe these peter puffing chuds on here that think brown eyes can't be beautiful? Also idk if this sound weird but I love her mouth, her lips have a unique shape and way of moving that I find very alluring. Cute smile, too.
>>222710450Now i wanna watch Mauvais sang for the fourth time.

Was there any reason why the actress' hair was dyed red in this film? Her natural hair is dark brown
>>222708567Blame the awards season
>>222707498Thanks, I appreciate that.

John Waters once met Fassbinder and Sirk and commented that Fassbinder looked like "such a hog".
>>222711743South Asian and Middle Eastern women often colour their hair red as a fashion choice. It actually fits perfectly with the character's more liberal, westernised sensibilities in the context of the story.

Ranking the Wes Anderson flicks:>1. Grand Budapest Hotel>2. Fantastic Mr. Fox>3. Moonrise Kingdom>4. Rushmore>5. Royal TanenbaumsThe rest is just not as good, still haven't watched Isle of Dogs or anyhting after that one.
>>222714554I've only liked Bottle Rocket. He asserted his style later on and it's not one I enjoy.
>>222714554I'd put Life Aquatic above Tenenbaums though I think Owen Wilson as Eli Cash is one of the funniest characters ever in film. Grand Budapest Hotel is definitely his best though
>>222714600>and unorthodoxFox and Hotel are pretty much always ranked top 2. Their list is only "unorthodox" by leaving off Isle of Dogs
There should be a /ludo/ general on /v/ to discuss games with artistic merit, akin to this thread
>>222714712people who sniff their own farts over video games are even more obnoxious than people who do it over movies because your type have an even bigger chip on your shoulder than usual
This movie was great. Willem Dafoe gives an awesome performance.
>>222714766Arty games are still fairly commercialized and accessible to a general audience (think something like MGS2 or the Silent Hill games). Meanwhile any *mildly* arty film is utterly impenetrable for the average /tv/ poster. That's why this general exists.
>>222715093>MGS2 or the Silent Hill gamesOf course two spoofs of American media are fairly accessible to a general audience lmao
>>222715093I mean if those are artistic then so is a bunch of genre movies /film/ wouldn't say are artistic
utterly impenetrable for the average /tv/ poster
>>222715241Of course, it's a film about the trans experience.
>>222715093Early Nier games are arty from what I've gathered without playing them. An arty game I have experience with would probably be Shadow of the Colossus. It's pretty /film/ic. Non-mainstream games I like aren't really arty but just highly autistic.
>>222715093>MGS and Silent Hillsure, these are more artistically interesting than most games but their the movie equivalent would be like something Ari Ester would makeas in, more artistically interesting, but not so challenging or experimental that it prevents it from reaching a big audience and being successfulI wouldn't say MGS and Silent Hill are the game equivalents of Arthouse film I'm sure there are much more niche, experimental, and challenging games out there
>>222715277The first Nier is dynasty warriors but making the gameplay even more tedious and unenjoyable on purpose. So yeah it's artistic but not as much as Taro's later stuff and "i mad it bad on purpose" is probably the most juvenile stage of art right next to some variant of "god made bad things so we can enjoy good things more"
>>222715277Those are definitely arty games but also, my coworker (who would call literally dialogue-heavy movie 'boring') has played SotC, and enjoyed it. NieR's fanbase consists of anime fans. I don't even mean this pejoratively. Make of that what you will.
>>222715287I haven't played it but I've had on my wishlist for year a game called Critters For Sale. It looks pretty /film/
>>222715370>Anime can't be /fil-

Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been mentioned in the chat.
people obsessed with what's true cinephilia or whatever while their favorite directors, writers and actors probably have terminator 2 or john wick in their top 10
>>222715461Pic related is the most /film/ic of the Great Chinese Novel thoughbeit.>>222715469Zzzzzzzz
>>222693374You'll start seeing the difference if you pay attention enough. It's a bit of a curse desu, at some point I got really into the HQ encoding of my own BDs (debanding and fixing dirty lines etc.) and you can never unsee it. I avoid watching films on my pc because of it, on my tv dont notice it at all. VP9, AV1 and even HEVC are all developed and or marketed by and for companies that want to safe money on bandwith, HEVC to a lesser extend but all those claims about "same quality at 50% bitrate!!!" should be interpreted as you can safe x bandwith before the majority of your customers (who watch on their phone/laptop/tv with motion interpolation turned on) start complaining. They achieve this by blurring the shit out of everything, even at high bitrates. HEVC (x265 for us consumers) can be properly tuned for HQ but beyond animation and 4K there is no real bitrate savings compared to x264 if you want a proper encode, and so in that case you might as well use the encoder thats HQ by default, faster and more compatible. Image quality stats are also pretty pointless, the only way to check transparency is to use YOUR own eyes and screen, everyone has a different tolerance for this shite. Thats also why I recommended downscaling to 720p, at 1080p I still see encoding artifacts in these vids at the bitrate 4chan supports, 720p is pretty much transparent to me.
Videogames aren't art, if you think otherwise you're either a 15 year old who knows absolutely nothing about art or a complete midwit who can't understand true art at all.
Most cinephiles are just parisians staring at a wall because they imagine something interesting happening on the other side. The people who make things and the people who consume things are different species.

Why doesn't Criterion add more subtitle options to their releases? Why only limit themselves to just English? They would sell so much more if there were more options and it's not even hard to do nor does it require a lot of space.
>>222715571Third Strike still mogs them all. The bodybuilder aesthetic they went in IV was so weird.
>>222715898the most larped game of all time
>>222715915Why do you fags always act like 3rd Strike has a high-barrier entry or something? do 2D graphics scare you?
>>222715518For me, the Silent Hill games are the exceptions that prove the validity of the rule. To say that video games are not art is the same as saying that a barking dog never bites or that the Ramones made the same song a hundred times. Of course these things are not true, but if we have to factor in exceptions to every sweeping statement we make in life, then we can never make any sweeping statements. The silent prefix of any such statement is, of course, “By and large”.By and large, video games have zero artistic value. I don’t think their attachment to craft elements commonly used to create art makes them art, otherwise porno would also be an art by virtue of being created by the same craft that makes cinema. (Is porno art? A separate argument, but I say porno is garbage — by and large.)In fact, though I like Kojimbo and do consider him a visionary, I find his starfucker mentality exhausting, and his attempts to build cultural status by associating his games with films and film stars — it’s the same tired old trick that garbage film adaptations of classic novels do; the idea that a movie adaptation of, for example, Pride and Prejudice, has an in-built artistic value by virtue of its association with a canonical text, is the same kind of rubbish that plagues film criticism. It’s our grandparent’s middle class laziness that makes them think they’re taking in high culture by watching period pieces, and it’s our generation’s middle class laziness that makes us think we’re taking in high culture by playing games that turn themselves into “interactive movies”.(1/2)
>>222715955There are some games that I would consider to have high artistic value, of course. The Silent Hill games and their attempt to align themselves with works with high cultural cache doesn’t preclude them from being art, I just mean that they are not automatically so for doing this. In fact, the less Silent Hill pulls from pop culture, the better it is. I love the Sonic Youth and Stephen King references in 1, but Team Silent seriously come into their own once they stop standing on the shoulders of giants and start making their own strides artistically — and even dwarf them. Silent Hill 3 makes references to Session 9 and Jacob’s Ladder, but I would say that Silent Hill 3 has far more merit artistically than both of those (and is my favourite SH game).Re: Kojima, I think that The Phantom Pain is a mature and profound work of art. I am less impressed with the Death Stranding cycle. Kojima seems to think with these that just having famous actors in it makes it inherently cinematic, but as I have already outlined, I do not believe this is the case.I think that the video game industry’s intent on turning the consumer into a brainless, button pushing zombie that wants to consoom, consoom, consoom, with games designed around hours and hours spent playing them, high replayability, DLC, these in-baked things have nothing to do with art, rather than likening this to cinema I liken it to Onlyfans, where the intention is for you to keep spending, keep coming, and keep coming back…For me, in order for The Phantom Pain to be a truly great work of art on the level of Tarkovsky or Bresson, it should have deleted itself from the disc upon the credits rolling, and locked your game station out of playing the game forever. What a statement that would be! A true phantom pain. A game that would make you feel real grief and loss like a film or novel can, and not just the satisfaction and itch-scratching that the video game industry necessitates.(2/2)
time to get out my reading glasses.
>>222715950uh probably because the roughly 21 billion "i love third strike" posts to the amount of people who are actually willing to play it ratio?
>>222715915Wtf does this even mean lol? I mean, I don't really play games since like 10 years ago, maybe more, but how could you "larp" 3rd Strike? It's such a technically demanding game.

It's largely irrelevant now but you still get the occasional retard who pretends like it, MVC2 or ST are peak video games because they lack the self awareness to admit they just aren't competitive enough to handle a game with more than their friends who are slightly worse than them and an online playerbase of 12 people.
Do you guys think Criterion will lose its prestige if it keeps adding films like K-Pop Demon Hunters to the collection?
>>222716122It added Armageddon like 20 years ago
>>222716164I didn’t know that. Why though? I thought they cared about the quality of their titles. I guess companies will always seek profit no matter how art-focused they are…
This film convinced me that I should never try to improve a foid's life ever.
>>222716122Already did, in my eyes.>>222716115I actually only started seeing vidya larp with stuff like MGS, Silent Hill and RE due to the recent remakes, suddenly every "alt" girl was into those games for some reason, and many normies also pretended like they were playing OG RE4 with the tank controls back in the day. I think it's really just a question of those games becoming culturally acceptable, kinda like Pokémon cards which went from niche nerdcore to "everybody is obsessed with this shit now".
>>222716197>I am a le poet!>No, you're unemployed.4chan: The Movie
>>222716209RE, MGS and Silent Hill were always popular.
>>222716249Obviously, but only amongst gamers. Now it seems like every normie is into them.
>>222708532based. I wish the majority of that one was in Johnstown instead of just the first 15 minutes
>>222716192That's just their vague brand. They've always had commercially successful and mainstream films. Armageddon is just especially egregious because it sucks on top of being a modern blockbuster with a massive marketing campaign behind it. >>222716287Because gaming is bigger. They were still always popular though. Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil have always been top sellers. Silent Hill is slightly more niche but still plenty popular enough for hollywood to finance multiple dogshit retard adaptations based on name recognition alone.
there were so many hot girls on the Resident Evil forum I posted on in like 2007. tears in the rain...........
I don't think normies are capable of appreciating stealth and the patient, thoughtful approach one needs to play stealth games. They may like RE but that's just smelly girls gushing over Leon
>>222716358Now all the hot girls are posting on /film/
What is The Sound of Perseverance of film?
What are the most larped films / directors of all time? I think Lynch takes the cake.>>222716347In my time, the only games normies allowed themselves to play were Mario, GTA and sports games, everything else was forbidden. It really has felt like they were stealing my culture these last few years, specially with things like Pokémon going from turbo loser shit to literally being played by my boomer professors at University.
>>222716478Godard by a fucking mile lmao, Lynchs work is actually really easy to get into
>>222716478>I think Lynch takes the cakeVery likely.
>>222716471Something that's actually wildly overrated by the public, like Argento's early movies pre-Suspiria. Deep Red, probably.ITP>Human>SBG>SH>Leprosy>TSOP>Symbolic. Symbolic is sooooooo overrated, man.
>>222716527Who larps Godard? Even to people who love him, like me, he has his share of boring shit. I can't imagine a normie going through Pierrot le fou, it's way too abstract and meandering.
>>222715955>>222715970I read it all*smooch*Well said my daughter.>it should have deleted itself from the discI love how they did something similar in the credits of NieR:AutomataTruly the most beautiful gaming experience I've had.
>>222716564What are his best films?
>>222716564Every wannabe cinephile I've ever come across.
>>222716630Vivre sa vie, Breathless, Week-end and Pierrot le fou. The normies were right this time, his political stuff is incredibly self indulgent (I kinda like it, btw).
Nicolas de Staël has been mentioned in the chat.
The most larped director among cinephiles is Bresson. Don't nobody wanna watch that boring ass shit.
>>222716478BERGMAN
>>222709445Sombre
>>222716763Fuck, you're right, most of his films are boring as shit.
>>222716478>What are the most larped films / directors of all time?>the most larpedwtf does this even mean? larp stands for live action roleplay so wtf are you talking about? be patient, I have autism
>>222716766I watched Sombre last night! 7th or 8th time. I'll never hear Bela Lugosis Dead the same way.
>>222716787To larp is understood in this era as basically "to pose as", meaning, you present yourself as a knower of something, or as dabbling in a subculture, while basically knowing nothing of it. It's kinda like what the term poser used to mean back in the day, so saying a director is "larped" means it's very likely to be mentioned constantly by poseurs and dilettantes as a way to gain social status among the uninitiated in a certain field.I used to get so much pussy with literary larping lol, Osamu Dazai and the japanese were key.
*cough* *cough* *COUGH* *COUGH**inhales* *sniffles**COUGHHHH* *COUGHH* *COUGH**inhales* Aaaaergh. *sniffles*
>>222716849Yeah you can't expect zoomers to even know of the word "dilettante" or even attempt to spell it For me it was Henry Miller but the thing is I actually did like his work, just not as much as chicks did
>>222716856https://youtu.be/0SVnQIEVaRk>And I can't pretend for a second he wasn't attractive. He was divine because he was ill, and I love people that are ill. He got a cold and he got at least three muffles on him. So everything that was attractive.
>>222716884I kinda liked Dazai, but not as much as people did. I always thought he was kinda overrated, but there was an asian philosophy mentally ill qt that I liked and she really liked his stuff (and I actually did want to learn about japanese literature in that time). ...and so I larped.
>>222716953I think it's easy to for people to make Dazai a romantic figure but his work doesn't measure up to the image of him, kinda like a literary Jeff Buckley. Mishima was the real deal because he was a memelord AND had the quality work to prove it but he's mostly championed by weebs and snobs
>>222717002>kinda like a literary Jeff BuckleyKinda, though I think Jeff was still a little better than Dazai. A lot of his books are just " "shit's so bad, man", Japan", and people eat it because he's le tragic anime dude. Quite literally it's not that deep bro, the writer.

>>222717451Giga leftist for his time, would be a conservative today.
>>222717512Being anti-capitalist at all would put you well out of the conservative range. Most people being accused of being a leftist are still liberals and think capitalism can be reformed which should show you how little the overton window moved on anything other than social ideas and speech.

God damn is it just fucking video games outside of kino for you faggots? Does anybody have an outside hobby or do anything besides look at a screen?
late Godard always sounds interesting to me but I watch something like King Lear and I'm just left thinking "yeah I guess"
>>222717646I play classical and electric guitar. I fish, bike, I have an unfinished scale model sitting idle, sometimes I read, the list goes on...
>>222717646I masturbate outside and get caught by ukrainian immigrants.
>>222717467I'd argue that La Chinoise is only tenuously *about* politics. The Vertov Group-era films are infinitely more didactic.>>222717673How do you feel about Hail Mary? Passion? King Lear definitely is the most hostile of his non-essayistic films.
>>222717582

>>222717712VERY FUNNY!!!
>>222717690Pretty cool man. I do some of that stuff too.
>>222717690Think you're hot shit, Skippy?
>>222717451>Is he a leftist or a conservative?Jean-Luc Godard was a socialist.
>>222717609He'd be considered conservative by today's standards. I don't think he would get along super well with modern feminists, modern vegans, anti-capitalists, etcetera. A large portion of modern leftism is based only on resentment and searching for a scapegoat for one's problems (men, the rich, the meat eaters), while Godard actually wanted to change the system so that there was more dignity to be found in humanity, but people nowadays give more of a fuck about their pronouns than actually helping people dying of hunger or getting treated like shit at their crappy jobs. I think Godard in the big 26 would hate most mainstream leftism and would be essentially a left wing conservative; his posture on girls and guns should speak for itself.>>222717646I play guitar and am passionate about women and sex.
>>222717646>Does anybody have an outside hobby or do anything besides look at a screen?I walk.
>>222717646If you don't read classical literature and listen to classical music you don't really belong in this general. Appreciating only one form of art is the biggest pseud redflag possible.
>>222717779He would agree with vegans because they're right.
>>222717782
>>222717782>>222717814
>>222717798You know, it's actually funny I had an argument with a vegan on Instagram one of these days and he said that all meat eaters were fundamentally immoral and that producing and eating meat was fundamentally wrong. That was just crazy. Bro thought he was Morrissey there for a sec.
>based only on resentment and searching for a scapegoat for one's problemsWow that definitely reminds me of a certain website
>>222717847Morrissey is also only vegan because vegans are right not because of any sincere care for other living things.

>>222717854"Right wingers" are also retarded. In fact, I would say most people calling themselves left or right wing these days are actually alt left and alt right, just retards, insufferable retards who don't even know what the left or right is actually about and end up doing the exact opposite of what they're supposed to be about. Go eclectic and radical or gtfo.>>222717871Trve.

>>222717718I haven't seen Passion yet. Hail Mary I at least like visually
>>222717945Brazilbro, have you seen the Jô Soares talk show interview with Huppert?It's in French, with Portuguese subtitles. They gossip about Godard, Cimino, and Otto Preminger.
>>222717779>A large portion of modern leftism is based only on resentment and searching for a scapegoat for one's problemsNo leftist is ever on particularly good ground arguing on this. You're forced to litigate over why all the changes you want (which you, by definition, must want) are necessary but all the other shit isn't (but which is arrived at via similar if not the same methods to your own) with people to your left and people on your right who'll turn the very critique you're trying to mount against you.

>>222716478>>222716534I think saying Lynch is a larped director is weird because the majority of his stuff is plenty accessible to mainstream audiences and has mainstream success. Twin Peaks was a big mainstream hit while still being surreal and confusing with intentionally impenetrable or unexplained elements. Inland Empire is the only one that's like actively abrasive if you've only seen mainstream films.
>>222717640webm?
>>222718225Was Twin Peaks a "mainstream hit"? From what I know, it was only a cult show in the 90s and 00s, even considered "patrician" back then.
Should I blind buy Badlands, Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line and The New World? Are those films masterpieces? I liked Tree of Life, only Malick I ever watched.
>>222718225>I think saying Lynch is a larped director is weird because the majority of his stuff is plenty accessible to mainstream audiences and has mainstream success.I think that it's not weird for precisely that reason. It's "safe weird".
>>222717798>they're right.Depends. They're right about a lot of things: Raising animals just to kill and eat them is cruel and pointless. The big farming industry is exploitative (hell, every big industry is, just look at Hollywood) and the way milk and eggs are produced in large numbers for cheap is certainly not ideal. And, yes, growing crops for animal food rather than directly for human consumption is retarded and has ecological costs.On the other hand, vegans can be incredibly stupid about other things: Their refusal to eat honey because it's made by animals, even though beekeepers usually care about their bee hives on a personal level and support bee protection like no one else. Or their refusal to drink milk even if bought from a local farmer who treats his animals well.Overall, I'd say that being vegetarian is the more reasonable alternative, really. Ideally, buying milk and eggs locally if you can.
>>222718316Sure, if you liked The Tree of Life, you can like anything.Badlands is a classic.
>>222717814I talked to this guy once, but he didn't have anything interesting to say.
>>222718345>if you liked The Tree of Life, you can like anythingWhat? That film is esoteric as heck.
>>222718352His mind was too busy thinking about his next walk.
>>222718301Twin Peaks was a huge cultural phenomenon when it was airing (at least until the season 2 falloff) and I don't think there was any perceived "prestige" status for the average person. I've seen old news articles where it was being categorized with the other primetime soap operas of the era like Dallas and Knots Landing.
>>222718336>Raising animals just to kill and eat them is cruel and pointlessNot necessarily. At its best, the life of a farm animal is at the very least a far better life than most lives in the wild.
>>222718316Yes.>>222718336I think he was making a joke, but I think the actual point about why veganism is retarded is because it's based on a black / white logic in which all consumption of animals and animal products = bad, while the truth is that ethically produced animal food is just fine and natural, and the real problem is animal cruelty and cruel production systems like the ones you mentioned. I guess radical vegans would just suicide if they lived back in the hunter-gatherer era, because in their mind, killing for sustenance = cruelty.
>>222718329I mean I don't really see many people going like >my tastes are so fucked up and crazy i liked eraserhead
>>222718301>Was Twin Peaks a "mainstream hit"?Yes. Literally the most watched and talked about Sunday evening series in the US during season 1 in 1990 (before the network moved it to a Thursday slot during season 2), also huge in all of Europe and Japan. It pretty much changed the TV landscape and allowed its successors in the 90s to be more daring and ambitious in their production and in how they told their stories; X-Files is often cited as one of the big profiteers of this.
>>222718448Maybe not in /film/, but I've definitely seen that irl and in less elitist film talk on the internet.
The girl I like is a Cinema student, she called my taste trash, which movies should I watch to impress her? She said she likes "German expressionism", I've no clue wtf that is.
>>222718428>the life of a farm animal is at the very least a far better life than most lives in the wild.Arguably, yes. But what happens in the wild is not really a concern for human beings (mostly, since of course there are forresters and hunters trying to regulate the animal populations in their forrests). We don't breed animals in large numbers to release them into the wilds, but we do breed animals to keep them on farms. If an animal is born in the wild, that's just what it is and it'll have to deal with it. But if it's born on a farm, that's usually for the sake of being "used" by humans, and I guess that should come with a certain responsibility on our part.
>>222718528Just tell her you're a strict Bazinist (as in André Bazin). Say that you're opposed to Expressionism or montage, as they clutter and get in the way of the misè-en-scene. It'll get her undies wet on the spot.
>>222718528German expressionism is normie tier, just play some eroguro shit from the 90s to her and introduce her to the trvth.
>>222718564I wish that got girls wet.
>>222718528>"German expressionism", I've no clue wtf that is.Caligari, Nosferatu, Metropolis.Basically all of Murnau and the early Lang. There are some other, lesser known, examples. But since she's in film school, she's of course talking about those popular ones.
Genuinely though, I have no fucking idea what Bazin means when he calls Murnau a Realist and not an Expressionist. Perhaps I'm just deeply misunderstanding his thesis.
German streetfilm.
>>222718553>But if it's born on a farm, that's usually for the sake of being "used" by humans, and I guess that should come with a certain responsibility on our partIt's one thing to say that we have a responsibility to animals, and another to specify that that responsibility is to refrain from killing them for food. Even if you hold that we do have that responsibility, I'd seriously challenge the idea that shirking it amounts to cruelty (murder carried out with all the concern in the world for the victim's suffering is still murder, but it's arguably not a cruel thing).

Can you cry watching arthouse films? I remember I used to cry all the time but then I got used to melodramas and anime trash where every scene is over-the-top with emotions and everytime I watch an arthouse film I just don't feel anything anymore, that shit destroyed my brain.

>>222718783>Idk being passionate about women and sex is a strange thing to say.I guess I just love women more than the average person. I really enjoy wasting my time with women, talking with women, etc. And sex should be decriminalized.
>>222718769>for it is so beautifulDifficult not to read this post with an Indian accent. >>222718783Thought that was Chloë Sevigny on the left for a sec.
>>222718712I'm more likely to cry over more simple things like selflessness and great acts of empathy over more complex and challenging things. Like I think I cried twice the last time I watched It's A Wonderful Life (the "honeymoon" and the ending) and the end of The Straight Story. But it's unlikely for me to cry over something much sadder or like Lilya 4 Ever or Dancer in the Dark.

>>222718692As always, it depends on the context. There were times and there are places where raising animals to kill them for food made some sense (even though, in general, growing crops for yourself rather than the animal is more economic). But how the "western world" does it nowadays, in large numbers, is definitely cruel. A good first step would be to de-industrialize it, bring it back to the individual small farmers. That would raise the costs of meat, but of course, that would then also lower the general demand. It would make sure milk and eggs are kept "ethical" as well, which renders the whole vegan vs. vegetarian argument moot.
>>222718914He says both actually.

>>222718944Not my fault, either keep up or shut up.
>>222718926>As always, it depends on the contextYes. That's my point. Raising animals to kill and eat is not an inherently cruel thing, so the idea that vegans are right that "raising animals just to kill and eat them is cruel and pointless" is false. You can eat meat and care about the welfare of the animals killed for it, which puts the onus on vegans and vegetarians to find stronger arguments.
>>222719061The act of taking a life is cruel. We're intelligent being capable of perceiving goodness, if you choose to kill in order to eat you are doing a cruel, immoral act. Now, I'm not one of those retarded vegans that will condemn everyone who doesn't follow his ideals, if you eat meat that's your choice, it's a part of life I guess, but don't try to say it's not immoral or cruel.
