Post Random Movie-Related Thoughts You Have

[epilogue]

no, go to the cinema!!!

It's not playing here opening weekend. We have one multiplex, and one single-screen theater for art-house/old print stuff.

These big city guys don't know how hard it is for us out here in the provinces

You guys getting the Scream 2 Anniversary print?!

Are they re-releasing Scream 2?!

either that or Bozeman is finally getting its first run

AL

Are you gonna go? I'd 100% go see Scream 2 on the big screen again.

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.

Babysitting availability is practically a luxury and Scream 2 does not make the cut! But I'd pull it together for Triangle of Sadness.

Fair

Probably the better call.

Scream 2 is a classic, you should be there

Triangle of Sadness looks promising. I loved Force Majeure (and the US remake totally missed the mark). The Square was disappointing overall but had some incredible scenes.

That’s what’s up.

yeah, i wanna see it. I loved FM and was somewhat bored with TS, but this one looks great.

I will say that I think about the Elizabeth Moss condom scene in The Square all the time.

[VinylGuy]

haha yeah

frightening moment

Can't wait for Circle of Disappointment

i'd probably put no stock in any actor's endorsement of a particular movie.

What if that actor is also a director?

then i would! gosling for instance

bill hader too

[epilogue]

yeah, you lost me there

[VinylGuy]

Bill Hader is a director?

wait, because he did some episodes of Barry?? Cmon guys

still, if we need to compare him, lets compare him with a tv director.

Its a different medium and different way of storytelling.

[Malloy]

what comparison are you referring to? i didn't think i had made one.

but i'll make one now. bill hader has seen more movies and has better taste than all of us in this thread. he might not be a great director, but you can tell what his sensibility is. same with gosling. Lost River is a bad movie, but at least he's interested in stealing from/aping the right people

[Malloy]

i agree with vg that the film & television forms are importantly different. but they have enough in common -- they are both sequential art forms, for instance -- that you can make some comparisons. you can compare editing choices, compositional choices, etc.

so while i didn't intend to make a comparison between baker & hader, or hader & gosling, i don't think it'd be completely mistaken to talk about each one's general sense of aesthetics and note similarities & differences, while simultaneously keeping in mind the conventions & constraints imposed by the form(s) in question.

[Malloy]

one last thing -- what i found so promising about the first two seasons of Barry were their explicitly cinematic quality, particularly the second season.

the most recent season dissuaded me from that idea. i dont think it's the best show on television because it's become just that: yet another television series. but formally for a minute it felt like more than another episodic black comedy.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Wow.
