For a long time his only two 9/10 were Citizen Kane and Touch of Evil. You think Repulsion deserves a 9?
>>222776727Genuinely awful taste. How could someone who has seen so many movies have such a limited selection of favourites?
>>222776855no way he watches all these https://www.scaruffi.com/cinema/best26.html
>>222776855There's no way Scaruffi has read all the books, listened to all the music and watched all the movies that he rated on his website. And he still finds time to conduct research and write papers. Either he's a huge shut-in or he's lying.
Rosemary's Baby deserves the 9 desu
>>222777085>>222776879>>222776855Wasn’t it confirmed years ago that he skims most of the stuff he rates? Like he’ll listen to an album by listening to a few seconds of each song and then he’ll write a review of what he thinks the album will probably be like in its entirety. These days he also has fans (?) who rate stuff for him “as he would”.
>>222777085He listens to the music he rates (which is why the reviews take forever to come out and are far more detailed in general), but the movie ratings is definitely 90% vibes based on what critics say. He literally rates like every movie that comes out every year lol
>>222777179It's actually easy to find out what movies he's watched or not.If a review is detailed and written in English he has certainly watched it, especially if he evaluates the ending. E.g. he's certainly watched all the Lynch movies but not all of Kubrick, where the Barry Lyndon entry is just:>Barry Lyndon (1975) is an adaptation of Thackeray's novel "The Luck of Barry Lyndon" (1844) with amazing cinematography by John Alcott.
Yes. Repulsion is better than Citizen Kane and Touch of Evil. I'd give it a 10.
>>222776727Citizen Kane is the most 7/10 movie of all time.
>>222778175>Seinfeld is not funny
report eceleb threads as off topic
>>222777085That may come as a surprise to you but there are guys in their 50s on Letterboxd who have logged almost 10000 movies.
>>222777085This is the problem with midwits, they can't fathom how geniuses are not subject to the same limitations and can process information stupidly fast, so they'll claim bs. You don't know shit,midwit.
>>222777160>by listening to a few seconds of each songThis was never stated or confirmed by anyone
>>222777160Not a fan of the guy but judging by his reviews it doesn't seem like it
What's his opinion on argento? I think his movies are trash but I want to know what italians think of him
>>222779498Good but not great
>>222776727some italian he is. where's De Sica? i give Umberto D and Bicycle Thieves both a 10 out of 10. and also fuck this guy for making his highest rated movies only a 9. if he doesn't think any film is truly great or perfect why does he bother with this shit? he doesn't love movies.
>>222780220What is perfection? Is it even something you could identify if it were right in front of you? Seems to me like you've trivialized that unknowable something down to a simply relativistic judgement.
>>222778175>and thats a good thingUnironically
>>222777144Rosemary’s Baby is shit.
Repulsion is gigakino
>>222777085he has said before that he uses his website as a personal notebook.it's clearly written at the top of his yearly cinema pages "the following list averages the opinions of my favorite critics plus mine".for music, if it's an in-depth review he has listened to the album, if it's just a short summary it's probably something he has read somewhere.people on /mu/ used to shit on him because he reviewed the early Board of Canada's works, albums that almost nobody has actually listened to outside of their circle of friends. But it's not like he wrote a lengthy review, he just called them "collections of uneventful electronic music" because it's what they probably were.
>>222776879He has the same films rated multiple times and given quite different ratings lol
>>222777485>THE RADIATORLynch was the most incredibly mid person in history and the cosmic joke played on humanity is that they thought they could "interpret" anything he ever made like there was some kind of shining jewel of meaning buried deep inside if they could just polish it enough. The reality is the guy just had weird ass drugged up sleep paralysis dreams "uggh the radiator is comin to get me i gotta make a movie about this, what if an asian lady became a drawer knob" and slapped all that shit onto camera and the people lapped it up like so many retarded trough feeders.Lynch was the filmic equivalent of pretending you have a dog treat in your hand and throwing it so the dog spins in circles trying to find something that was never there.
For me it’s the best nature list.
>>222780813he must think Canada is the Beatles of countries
>>222780793plotfags are the ultimate midwits
>>222780813>be a wop>doesn't include Italy in a top 20holy contrarianism
>>222780910>A DRAWER KNOB JERRY! THAT'S GOLD!nigger nobody likes hearing your crazy dreams any more than they like hearing the "wild conversation" you just had with your LLM
>>222780813what is it with autists and lists?
>>222780945He might be an /out/ist that doesn’t like places like Switzerland because it’s too crowded to really enjoy.>>222780971An an autist I have no idea. I will rank fucking anything.
>>222780539nah it's absolute kino
