What movies are you watching?

[LoathedVermin72]

I've never been a big Spielberg fan. I'll revisit him someday and see what I see. But I'm glad you're finding a lot to love in his work, verm.

Of everyone here, I would expect you to connect with him the most. I'm surprised you haven't. I hope you revisit him soon.

Joey, let's hang out and watch Spielberg together.

Sure! Sounds like a good time. I'd be all a bout that. But can we skip Jaws, though please?

Sure. I've seen that movie like 100 times anyway.

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.

Have you seen The Color Purple, Empire of the Sun, or Always? I think you would respond to those.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

i've only seen jaws once...i can see myself not watching it again, maybe one more time

[LoathedVermin72]

Jaws is one of the best directed, edited, scored, and cast movies of all time. There stretches of filmmaking in there that are just sublime. Like GoodFellas, it's nothing particularly deep, but the craftsmanship is second-to-none.

Somehow I'm managed to miss Color Purple and Empire of the Sun. Which is absurd because I should absolutely see those films.

I really like Always. Though, I haven't seen it in YEEEEEEEEEEEEARS. I remember really digging it, though.

Both films that do very little for me.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

why watch jaws anyway when in the heart of the sea just came out?

i do want to give goodfellas another try...i definitely enjoyed parts of it, i just remember feeling like it fell apart some in the last third

Which makes sense, given your interests.

GoodFellas is my wife's favorite film, and as such, I have seen it way too many times. It's a fantastic movie, but I would be perfectly fine never seeing it again at this point.

Actually, now that I think about it, it kinda makes sense that you're not on big on Spielberg. While his sensibilities seem like something you'd appreciate, the way he conveys them is extremely visual and visceral. It's not necessarily concrete.

I like Casino a lot. It's certainly a lot more visually alluring than GF.

Well, now, see here. Visceral is something all about, my friend.

Oh sure, but the visceral quality is conveyed aesthetically, I mean. Spielberg's use of editing, framing, and score is very specific, and crucial to appreciating his work.

anybody seen dirty grandpa?

Ah.

Yes. I agree. Look no further than that money shot of a big ol dinosaur perfectly framed with a banner falling perfectly across his midsection as he roars to Williams' swelling score in Jurassic Park.

WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH!!!
