What movies are you watching?

[The Argonaut]

Alright, David O. Russell has officially lost any goodwill that he earned with The Fighter. Joy marks his third straight film that is emotionally dishonest, emotionally manipulative, is full of characters that are inconsistent, and is full of dialogue that just isn't the way people talk. I think he's a terrible writer, and an unimpressive director.

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.

While I enjoyed Silver Linings Playbook, I am also starting to lean this way on him. It's like his first five movies were by a completely different director.

IMO, Silver Linings Playbook is the worst of the bunch. I've never seen a movie crawl up it's own asshole so thoroughly.

[LoathedVermin72]

Russell sucks. I loved Huckabees when it came out, though.

Yikes, Strat. Is this where mountain life will eventually take me?

Hey, it was the holidays! It was good for Lol's!

and is full of dialogue that just isn't the way people talk.

Probably my biggest complaint with modern "indie" filmmakers. The "Junoing" of every piece of dialogue has become ridiculous.

[LoathedVermin72]

I find there to be some great, honest dialogue coming from:

Woody Allen
Richard Linklater

"I'm running out of obsequious banter."

"You have a real horseshit attitude."
