Dang. Even knowing how serious his health issues were, he was really one of those artists that just seemed like would be around forever. Gotta watch some of his classics tonight.

"He's your first cousin."

"Then I love him first."

@Snow Queen : That's the worst ****ing thing I've ever heard in my life.

A bunch of clips from ‘The Quick and The Dead’’ on my timeline. Never seen it, but all I know that tis considered one of the worst westerns. Still, I kinda want to watch it cause of the cast. Some of the trivia for it is great.

Sharon Stone's leather pants were so tight, she was unable to sit down in a chair. Also she fired her stand-in because she was getting more attention from the crew than she was.

David Lynch

We were so lucky to have him in this era. Changed film forever.

Happy 85 years to a perfect movie:

 

[Lily Adler]

So strange to see Kyle with no forehead wrinkles or being the villain of a romcom.

The Quick and the Dead has its fans. Fair to say, it takes a weirdly exaggerated (camp?/kitsch?) approach to the genre. If you’re in the right mood — or on the right stimulants — it could be worth a look.

I think I have a new Rifftrax traainwreck I have trouble looking away from...

I'm struggling with Sátántangó a bit. I was supposed to watch it next month as part of our monthly double feature with my friend. We both choose mystery films, and I already warned my friend that this would have to be an entire-day kind of affair because of the length. I remember hearing that there was some kind of animal cruelty element to it, and that's a huge issue that I have with any film if it's unsimulated. I can't really look past it, it's entirely immoral, downright evil to me. But I want to see all films of merit, so every now and then I just have to deal with it. Sátántangó, I've heard many times that the scene is simulated and that there was a vet on set, the cat was "safely" drugged, etc., but having checked those scenes out in advance just to be sure that I can show the film to my friend, I'm torn. The way it's shot, it's obvious that the cat is in serious distress and in danger throughout those scenes. It doesn't take an animal behavior analyst to notice that the cat is very unhappy, even if the sounds were added in edit, as claimed by the director. This is a beloved film, so I'm sure it'll be worth the watch, but this whole thing is seriously putting me off. Any thoughts on the film or on animal cruelty onscreen overall?

Randomly remembering that there's a movie based on the video game Rampage staring the Rock. What an interesting thing to have happened.

I don't know about you guys but I think there's already a machine that spits out stupid ideas and it's called your brain.

I'm not familiar with that film but I definitely draw a line at animal cruelty. No art is worth watching that for me.

That's an odd blind spot in film culture to me. There's a reluctance from many cinephiles to criticize animal cruelty when it's done by acclaimed directors like John Waters, Jodorowsky... There's no excusing it.

Sátántangó is going to be a challenge for its length alone, it's 432 minutes long

Yeah that's...a big ask.

They had one job, and still failed spectacularly.
