emigrate or degenerate. the choice is yours

-Gladiator

My parents introduced me to this when I was around 12, and I hated it. I guess I was expecting an epic swords and sandals all out war film but I was put off by Joaquin Phoenix's disturbing performance and didn't really pay attention the film's emotional intricacies. Obviously as I matured I learned to appreciate Maximus' quest for vengeance and his love for family.


-Killing Them Softly

Another film which I had different expectations for. I was hoping for a Goodfellas esque film set in the modern day, but found the film's pacing off putting. After several viewings I think it's an unrecognised masterpiece, and I love the film's subtext that American capitalism is the perfect breeding ground for crime. It's also one of James Gandolfini's last and great performances.


-Spirited Away

Only weeb film I find acceptable. Again, another film my undeveloped mind didn't really understand. The imagery and the concept of this film is actually quite disturbing and unnerving for a U rating (having your parents turned into pigs only to then be abducted into slavery by Japanese spirits), but the animation is utterly absorbing and the struggle the main character goes through to win her family back is compelling.


-The Prestige

Probably Nolan's best work. At first I thought the bitter rivalry between the two magicians was unwarranted and kind of ridiculous, but then I grew to appreciate the lengths two performance artists will go to perfecting their craft and appeasing their audiences at the expense of their lives. A movie will always get props from me for having David Bowie as a cameo.

I actually liked The Prestige to begin with. The trailer for it even looked interesting.

I don't really think I have any. I like movies, and then I like them less and less the more I watch them. If a movie is garbage, I don't typically give it another chance, because the things I don't like about it are sort of integral to the film itself.

Turkey questioned my lack of appreciation for the Cabin in the Woods the other day, so I decided to watch it again with a new perspective—ie. not as a love letter to/deconstruction of horror, but as whatever he said it was supposed to be (to be honest, I don't understand what it's supposed to be if not a critical satire)—and I just ended up disliking it even more. Really tedious and poorly-executed movie through and through—but this is Joss Whedon we're talking about.

Maybe blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, but the latter still comes off as pretentious to me.  I don't think I'd rewatch them, anyhow

The toxic avenger movies. It's only fifteen viewings each that I recognize the unfettered genius of these films.

Can someone tell me why Harrison Ford is so beloved? He was the worst part of Blade Runner
I hope Ryan Gosling kills him in the next movie.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
If I don't like it after the second viewing, I'll never like it.

Gosling makes a decent sociopath, so I hope he loses his shit in the movie.
