>QotDIf you think hobbies are personalities
Queen of /film/
I think it's a certain expression. A unique side to you. Many say "how can consuming be a hobby? youre just watching a screen, etc." but i think if you engage with it honestly, then you think about it and it might be like some monks who had alternate meditation methods. Now the next part I haven't though about a lot to write coherently but it is a personality. i believe in a certain determinism, the only people who care about it are those who would always care about it, someone not wired for it will NEVER be into it.which is why i dislike the letterboxd filmtwt people so much, i can tell theyre not real, theyre only replicas. i havent thought about this a lot in regards to the internet...i just have a deep fear of something or anything inauthentic
>Underneath it all, there might still be the desire in men to physically dominate women and the desire in women to be physically submissive to men through a bit of a struggle.
>>224148095Only certain people will be into it, only some will go on to engage with it, continue it, practice it. I believe in fate and determinism, a set future you're just already subscribed to.I am also wary and afraid, I'm not a nazi alright, i'm not even the makeup of a nazi but the decline of say asian and white populations...if i subscribe to my idea. i mean, what the others dont give a shit about art seriously, they have been doing jackshit about it for centuries...this teenage culture, its some weird fate
>>224148023>QOTD No.>BonusIt made me ok with not being social at all as a teenager and that was ultimately very detrimental to me.
Neat.
About the happy end.

How do I get into this hobby? I've only seen mainstream movies for the most part.

>>224156246that's quite a 7/10 mark, which is good

What is the lowest rated film you think is a classic? I feel like Caligula is that for me, people say it's a piece of trash but I love it.
>>224156491Tick-tock...
>>224156566Candy
>>224156566Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is insanely underrated because of shallow, knee-jerk responses to it being politically incorrect (it's far less objectionable and more nuanced in practice than it is often described as being and has a subtle kind of sweetness akin to the best of Lubitsch's). At the very least as good as Singin' in the Rain.

Why aren't you watching films right now?
>>224157681I have seen all the good films already.
>>224157681Shitposting is easier than watching films, that's all
>>224157681I'm listening to the soundtrack of one instead.
>>224157320Broadly agree with this. If it's a newly released film and it's getting glazed hard you know it's either a pretty good film that is getting too much attention or it's some bullshit mainstream shite that is getting all the attention from tourists who only watch tarantino and think goodfellas is the greatest thing of all time.The rating system is more reliable the more niche you get
>>224157681it's too early
>>224157320Probably a bit of an exaggeration, but directionally correct in that Letterboxd gives a lot of false positives and false negatives.

Questions about a scene in Singin' in the Rain for anyone who's knowledgeable about that era of Hollywood. In the "All I do is Dream of You" sequence, Don finds out Kathy works as a chorus girl at the Coconut Grove (Is that the Cocoanut Grove nightclub at the Ambassador Hotel?), and Kathy hits Lina in the face with a cake which Lina gets her fired for. The next time we see Kathy is in the "Beautiful Girl" sequence a few weeks later where Don finds her as an extra in a Monumental Pictures film directed by Sid, a character that exists only for this scene. Sid mentions that he featured her in nightclub shows, and it can't be the Coconut Grove because the scene implies he doesn't know about the cake-throwing incident. Did film directors own nightclubs? What's the sequence of events here, Kathy gets fired from the Coconut Grove, she finds a new job as a chorus girl at another nightclub owned by Sid, Sid is impressed by her performance and hires her as an extra in a film he's directing?
>>224162275Nightclubs were all owned by the jew and italian mobs.
>>224162179I love the very eerie, foggy, almost out of focus look of this film.
>Is filmwatching a personality?somewhat>Has cinephilia been detrimental to other aspects of your life?Not yet. I only just started watching French New Wave films in the last 2 weeks. Although if I pick up smoking cigarettes like an absolutely impressionable faggot, then yes, it will be detrimental to my already suboptimal health.Just marathoned pic related, and have already seen Pierrot le Fou and Breathless. What should I watch next? Should I bother learning French if I can pick up a(nother) Romance language easily enough?

I just wish there was some reprieve in the register of fever pitch strangeness it maintains the entire time because after awhile the impact gets blunted but I guess that stubborn refusal of restraint is also one of its strengths

>>224164333Is being transylvanian considered a hobby now?
Tom Cruise kinda sucks
>>224164333At the range, you're risking your life, at the DND group, you're risking prison (because you could end up killing some redditor). Just two days ago, I saw some guy with a "think twice before you talk, because I'm not gonna hold back" gun sticker on his car.
>>224164421On the contrary, he kinda rocks.
>>224164412>Is being transylvanian considered a hobby now?You know it.
>>224164480All his supposed good films are kind of bad.
>>224164421Sure he's pretty old now but he's a reliable engaging presence, a true peer to the big ones from the Golden Age. And that already from his Risky Business days.
>>224164463>Just two days ago, I saw some guy with a "think twice before you talk, because I'm not gonna hold back" gun sticker on his car.And you believed him? lmaoooo pussy.Someone disciplined enough to go to the range regularly is not the type of overconfident shithead who's likely to end someone's life because they simply, with no intimidation or physical provocation, said "guns are dumb".Correct on the DnD and prison. They'd likely call the police and claim you threatened their lives or something because you "invalidated their existence".

The Passion of Darkly Noon is a good film
>>224165232the italian cut of Hercules and the Captive Women is incredible in all its beauty and artifice. Luc Moullet did a nice write up on it for cahiers, if you are interested in that sort of thing.
