What movies are you watching?

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I’d be really curious to hear your thoughts on Darjeeling, Joe. It’s the most overtly misogynistic — the sons are all shits — but I think it’s also one of his most effective stories.

Are you saying the movie is misogynistic because you think characters in it are misogynistic?

I was being lazy. The characters are misogynistic.

[LoathedVermin72]

Pretty let down by Ford v Ferrari. It was...fine. Mangold is the definition of “fine.”

[Dev]

Rushmore and Darjeeling are my favorites.

[The Argonaut]

When/how are the brothers in Darjeeling misogynistic? I don't see it

yeah, i dont remember the Darjeeling being misogynistic. I do remember the movie being boring and kinda formulaic.

[Anders]

The Matrix-trilogy (not for the first time)

[epilogue]

I hope The Matrix (Not The First Time) is the title of the new upcoming Matrix movie.

Sandler was really good in Uncut Gems. Good movie. Prob 20 mins too long though.

[The Argonaut]

oh fucking please, that is not right.

Obviously there's more to it than that -- the scene in and after the river is particularly great -- but I stand by my main point that it's about three emotionally selfish shit heads who want their mom to fix their problems despite her request for space.

Don't get me wrong, I love the movie, as I said earlier I think it's one of Anderson's most effective, and that's because the characters aren't so thinly drawn as in his more recent works...

But Joe, if you've seen the Royal Tenenbaums movie, imagine Gene Hackman's id divided across three individual sons who carry the same personality traits. And yet they are more sympathetic than Hackman's character for reasons I won't go into.

Ok, I'm tempted to not respond to this at all bc a reading of Darjeeling as a movie about three men who refuse to honor their mother's request for space is so simplistic and disingenuous that it kind of doesn't even merit a response.
Actually, no, I'm right. I won't respond to that. It is beyond hope

[The Argonaut]

I mean Jesus Christ everything you said was wrong. Every single thing

Argo CALM DOWN man.

Is that meeting him halfway or you just restating your point?
