THE CINEMA LOUNGE

[Prison Mike]

Armageddon Time was a disappointment overall but Jeremy Strong was great in it

 

[Bayne]

And here was me thinking EEAAO was possibly the best movie I've ever seen. But then again I guess I am technically, just barely, a millenial so that apparently invalidates all opinions.

[Sithborg]

Great idea.

EEAAO aint even good enough to carry 'Jacob's Ladder' jockstrap. One of the best films of the year? I suppose. Best ever?..I'm saddened by this. May you find better grails on your film journey, I hope.

Bones and All

Luca Guadagnino is a master. Only he can make that Timonthee fellow less annoying to watch. Taylor Russell is superb. This would've been on my top 10 for the year, but I don't want to re do it, eh.

4/5

 

[Gandhi]

My top 10 for 2022

I loved Decision To Leave. Might be my favourite of the year but definitely in the top 3. I watched it in the cinema last month and then a second viewing on Mubi earlier this week when it arrived on streaming.

Spoiler

The ending crushed me each time.

Watched Drive my Car. It was great. But also, I recommend watching it in segments. It's definitely not a boring movie, but it's a 3 hour long understated drama.

The car is gorgeous by the way.

If that comment is about the SAAB it really makes med glad, since I'm still sad that one of the two decently good car brands our little country managed to produce during quite some decades is forever gone now. Still really need to watch that film though, since I've read good things about it.

This would be 100x better than the "teens in suits" thing that happened with Minions.

Are we here to see Barbie or a re-release of Amadeus? Who's to say.

 

[Kane52630]

These are literally the same movie. It's just like superhero movies for your grandma.

 

[squeekness]

Watched Amsterdam. Yeah, it was slow, but the story was very timely with things going on with MAGA Republicans right now. Good for one watch, but not a keeper.

I was thinking of Avatar WW getting best nom pictures and wondering how much live action does a film needs in order to not count as animation...

I often wonder how it counts in cinematography too.

 

[Kane52630]

This is what I was saying a while back. It's a great year for horror.

From elevated horror to B-movies, 2022 was a strong year for the genre

I guess animated movies could also get art design, costume design and cinematography nods.

And of course I've been wanting for an alternative acting (voice, mobcap) award for a while.

I got half way through Amsterdam before I quit. I can’t remember the last time I saw so many A-list actors give such dry, lifeless performances. I’m shocked at how bad it was.

 

[Kane52630]

Eh it was more or less what American Hustle was...which wasn't memorable either.

 

[flickchick85]

American Hustle’s characters were actual characters, at least. The ones in Amsterdam are just…shticks. One of the most tedious viewing experiences I’ve had, tbh.

Haven’t seen American Hustle. I’m just going by what I saw here, and it was painful.
