Climax to me is the best new movie since Elle. Shrieking fucking madness that hasn't been done in such a technically brilliant and colorful way since Zulawski's 80's films. Speaking of, Sofia Boutella's hat-tip to Adjani during her freak out was a tasteful tribute. That's how you pay homage will still doing your own thing. Same goes for the obviously Argento inspired lighting schemes. Love that green. Gaspar gets it.

That was awesome. I'm seeing so many complaints of it being boring but I was engaged 100% of the time. Great ending too, it was totally unexpected to me.

i thought schreiber's character could've been more interesting, and occasionally it's trashy in a bad rather than good way i guess, but yeah it mostly rules.

I love Synecdoche, NY--one of the few films I've bothered to teach to undergrads.

Unexpected outcome: they enjoyed it more than they did The Matrix.

I dunno I didn't really see anything I'd call trashy, except maybe the slice-of-life stuff they peppered in? Like intimidating 50 Cent's daughter's boyfriend and all the marriage stuff with Butler? All of that felt unnecessary and didn't really add to the story much.

I do agree about Schreiber's character though, specifically

Spoiler

why was he so determined to die rather than be caught and go back to prison? Didn't really explain that pretty central to the way the plot unfolds motivation.

Matrix really benefits from time it came out

Ally Sheedy was never any man's best friend

Captain Marvel wasnt that bad of a film. Definitely not replacing my love for Alita, but it wasnt as preachy feminist as I thought it would.

That shit was like something out of a Ice Cube movie.

I didn't expect it to have much of that shit in the actual film, it was all the shit surrounding the making of and marketing of the film that turned me off, as well as a few other more niche views of my own related to the comic book characters, the plot etc.

Definitely need to see Alita though.

New one from the Get Out director.

 

[Sophii]

I've been meaning to watch Get Out, never got around to it. That looks even more fucked up.
