I liked Oppie much more the second time watching. I think it's a brilliant small artsy story told on a massive scale only the way Nolan could have. It's definitely not for everyone, but if you pay close attention and manage to follow everything it is very impressive and quite enjoyable.Ello Sailor wrote:Oppenheimer
That was a lot. Basically an unrelenting info dump with an often overbearing score. I've no doubt that a second viewing would do wonders for my opinion of this film, but I can't see myself doing that anytime soon, so for now the best I can do is "pretty good". And I usually love Nolan!
Killers of the Flower Moon SHOULD nuke this come awards season. They're not even in the same league.

I'm going with 2023, just so I can include it in my year end list.Anders wrote:Jorge wrote:Kelly Reichardt’s 2023 film, Showing Up, now streaming on Showtime. Immediately one of my favorite films of the year
2022 film?
I liked the look of it as well, and added it to my to watch list a few days ago.
Showing Up premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 27, 2022, where it was nominated for the Palme d'Or. The film was released theatrically in the United States by A24 on April 7, 2023.

I always go for the official year listed (rotten tomatoes / imdb etc.), so it’s on my list for 2022.Farmer John wrote:I'm going with 2023, just so I can include it in my year end list.Anders wrote:Jorge wrote:Kelly Reichardt’s 2023 film, Showing Up, now streaming on Showtime.

I am impressed by how many of you rewatched this so soon after your first viewing. Dedicated film nerdz.

Re: What movies are you watching?
I watched it three times so far. I have a lot of time to kill at work and the movie blew me away. It's probably the most dense movie I've ever seen, and it feels so vital.Ello Sailor wrote:Takes a lot more to offend me. You're fine.tree_ wrote:I didn't mean to insult anyone.

Re: What movies are you watching?
I go back and forth on this. I think ultimately if I watched the film as part of a festival, I count it for the festival year. But if I watched it in wide release like most everyone else, I count it for the wide release.Farmer John wrote:I'm going with 2023, just so I can include it in my year end list.Anders wrote:Jorge wrote:Kelly Reichardt’s 2023 film, Showing Up, now streaming on Showtime.

Have you seen Michael Mann's Thief? That's absolutely worth a watch.

Michael Mann rarely disappoints. Looking forward to the wide release of Ferrari.

Watching Silverado on Netflix. So far, so good. It's a little cheesy, but that's ok in a Western. It's got a killer cast.
