What do you think of the film's length? I enjoy it overall, but it can feel like a slog towards the end.Mickey wrote:Zodiac

Re: What movies are you watching?
Yeah I felt similarly. It's a good movie with some great performances (John Carroll Lynch is awesome), but it's a bit too long, especially for a film where the third act is primarily about....going through archival materials. And it tends to lean heavily into the details of the case at the expense of character.Ello Sailor wrote:What do you think of the film's length?

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.

It feels like its subject, obsession with no satisfaction, which makes it a difficult watch for me. Though I occasionally return to it for its pristine craftsmanship.

Resolution
Pretty cool for a "horror" movie that probably cost like $500 to make. No other comments given how spoiler sensitive it is.

Good Time was pretty good... but pales in comparison to Uncut Gems, which is a much more mature, complex, complete movie.

High Life - enjoyed it, but this was bleak
The Beach- absolutely hated this...good God
Inside Out - this was good, but I wasn’t as enamored with it as most
Blue Valentine - man this was great..probably my favorite gosling and williams’ roles
