THE CINEMA LOUNGE

i think part of the discussion is also, like her character, that she suffered from dementia later in life.

Sydney Sweeney and her team have done a masterful job promoting her image. Her instagram alone now is better than any late night interview could ever do for her. Respect her for knowing why she is popular and using that for income and getting things done.

RIP to the great Alain Delon.

Easily in the top three most handsome actors ever on cinema. A great men’s fashion icon as well.

I shall rewatch La Piscine in his honor.

Thank god Rifftrax fixed the issue with their youtube channel. Shake Hands with Danger is too important to me.

They keep enabling the dumb crowd on RT.

Haven't seen Longlegs yet, but Oddity might be my favorite horror of the year so far. Great double performance from the lead and just some creepy direction visually and narratively. Atmosphere off the charts. The ending didn't reach as high as it's best moments, but it all plays very well as a whole. The hubris of man in this one is despicable.

Over the past month, I've seen so many people on Film Twitter try to do critical revisionism for Prometheus and even Alien 3 and Resurrection. And these aren't even usual nostalgia bait accounts, but critics and pundits whose takes I usually respect. But these are truly horrid messes of movies, I just don't get what's possessing folks to go to bat for them...

Nice try Rotten Tomatoes but Brandon Perea is a cinnamon bun. Try presenting this to someone who doesn't give a **** like Ridley Scott and see how far that gets you.

This is such a dumb concept that is going to make review bombing SO much worse

La Chimera

Alice Rohrwacher Is a masterful director.

Been a week since I’ve seen and it stays with me. The Fellini influence is here, but I suppose it is difficult for any filmmaker to leave his shadow of influence when you touch his dream- like surrealism. This often plays like a dark comedy and then into a lost romance, while the darkness leans in bit by bit. Josh O’Connor is great. In my top 10 of the year for sure.

 

[emielaen]

It's sitting at #1 for me on the year. It's so mystifying and alluring. There are some incredible directorial flourishes all up and down this film. O'Connor is incredible in it, everybody is, but the stand out for me was Duarte. She was oozing empathy.

No shame self-plug:

One can also read vertigo as one mans quest to ‘’get it back’’, as he is no longer capable to do perform or so. Eh. Hitch was a massive perv in real life, but tis’ for another thread.

Lionsgate is having a banner year of releasing crap after crap.

1. Miller's Girl
2. Imaginary
3. The Strangers: Chapter 1
4. Borderlands
5. The Crow

And they still have Megalopolis yet to be released.

QT not only has a strange grudge with Bruce Lee but he has a grudge with Brandon Lee too?

 

[The Shape]

That Tarantino podcast interview with Bill Maher was awesome, mainly because Tarantino gets absolutely toasted during it via smoking pot and drinking. About three quarters of the way through, he is full on slurring words and was hilarious. Love to see it.

He also had some choice words to say about Toy Story 4 which he frankly wasn't in the wrong about.

It was great because Tarantino is always fascinating but Bill Maher is a terrible interviewer.

 

[Drizzle]

I didn't see the whole interview, just the clip where QT talked about Toy Story but at one point Maher asks him if it's a cartoon. Mother****er, do you live on this planet?

 

[Lily Adler]

I guess this is what Bob Iger meant when he said he's done making movies diverse.

See @ThePowerCosmic, I told you there was more franchises they'll milk.

He's also the bad kind of wasted person. He laughs at his own horrible jokes, doesn't listen to the guest, interrupts constantly. Just awful.

Bruh, a Prince Anders movie? That's horrible. Absolutely horrible.
