Film 📽️ THE CINEMA LOUNGE

[ComicChick]

i did not know that's what that film was about until recently

May December

To me,

Julianne Moore>>>>Mehryl Streep. Always.

So this was a lifetime movie done via the pov of an auteur. This was fun, dark, comedic in moments where I think it wasn't suppose to be. The film carries the ham type plot on its sleeves and it was great. Portman goes toe to toe with Moore, but that Charles Melton fellow is a revelation, he can act his ass off. He definitely should get an oscar nom. Also, for those of us who grew up in the 90s, this story which is loosely based on was all the fuzz. Crazy to say outloud, but this story at least in my mind was the original student/teacher scandal that I can remember getting so much coverage. 90s had this case, OJ, 2pac murder back to back. One of the best films of the year for me.

8/10

Still better material than what Blunt and Pugh got for Oppenheimer.

 

[emielaen]

That bit brought the fantastic melodrama that Haynes is so good at. One of the best films of the year.

maybe now we can get that proper National Treasure tv show

 

[emielaen]

Cage leading a seedy ass True Detective/Night Of type of crime/cop show would be fantastic. Or playing a Walken/Tuturro type role from Severance.

Too little, too late. They probably wouldn't even have done this if the strike hadn't crippled their release schedule next year.

I need to do this myself. I'm trying to figure out the best method to do it and the most efficient way I can think of is going through movie lists by year of release and checking off the ones I've seen.

I need to do this myself. I'm trying to figure out the best method to do it and the most efficient way I can think of is going through movie lists by year of release and checking off the ones I've seen.

I did it in different ways, one is through each year and each decade like this:

Browse Films

Browse our database of a million titles, by popularity, average rating, etc.

letterboxd.com

Then it's through popular lists and obscure lists that usually contain hundreds of movie titles like these:

A further companion piece to Dave Vis' list of Letterboxd's official top 250 films of all-time. To be updated once a month. The list is ranked by the number of fans on Letterboxd. A “fan” is a member with a particular film as one of their four favorites. The Crew HQ account will continue...

Generation X/Millennial Classics (Nostalgia for the 90s Kid)

I do not recommend a vast majority of these films. In fact, a good 80-90% of these are anywhere from bad to terrible. But this list is operating purely on nostalgia when it comes to being a kid who spent their first decade of life from 1990-1999; and is meant to showcase the movies that were put...

letterboxd.com

Then I would go through several movies that I've logged in and scroll down to the Similar and Related film lists.


After I got a lot of movies logged in, I would also go through each decade again and use the "hide watched films" filter to declutter the stuff for a better view.

And now I want to see them interact with one of them as the protagonist and the other as the villian. Would work either way for me.

 

[Snow Queen]

 

[Black Narcissus]

Killers of The Flower Moon

I'm disappointed to say that this was not one of the best films of the year for me. Still, a lesser Scorsese flick is better than most, if we being honest. I admire Scorsese for even making this in the first place, as he is making flicks with time against him. The legend is still throwing big punches, even if they don't land, he is still fighting back and for that, we should all be happy.

7/10

The path is clear for Bald Nolan to get his Caesar moment at the oscars..

I’ve knocked two movies of the long list of things I haven’t seen but probably my should today:

Children of Men
Love Actually

What a pair? The only thing they have in common besides British movies is that Chiwetel Ejiofore (sp?) is in both.

Not sure I feel the need to ever watch them again but they were good all the same. I might’ve enjoyed Love Actually a little more if there were a few less couples and a little more of their story to delve into. Kinda felt like samples of dishes but never a full entree. I guess that was the point?

Also Children of Men was, well, the word that keeps coming to mind when I think of my opinion is visceral. It was ugly. It was hopeful. It was dark and realistic sadly. The long shots were well done and definitely stick out to me as I think back.

I don’t like posting in my mobile cuz of 500 ads per page so I’ll just quote this until I can edit it later

Who did Aaron Eckhart piss off? You can add Clive Owen and Eric Bana to that list. lawd.

Mickey Mouse will soon belong to everyone as Disney’s copyright expires in 2024

Current artists and creators will be able to make use of Mickey, but with major limits.

More accurately, the "Steamboat Willie" version of Mickey enters the public domain in 2024.

Which is why it has become part of the Disney logo. Very protective of their trademark.

Not sure about Clive Owen and Eric Bana but apparently Eckhart is a d-bag.

I hope Owen and Bana aren't like that since I genuinely do miss seeing those guys in movies.

 

[Kane52630]

I feel like we got a contender for one of the best worst movies of the year in 2024. This looks like some early 00s MTV trash.
