This is the thread where we discuss matters pertaining to the detrius that accompanies the "End of the Year AND DECADE in Cinema" -- 2019

Jackie Brown was the last good thing i saw from him, and it is overrated.

hidden decade gems

Ari Aster otm

wow i gotta see the homesman

helluva blurb

it's the better version of MM: Fury Road

lol

Lol, Morbs absolutely otm.

It's fine.

Wow, would not have expected a Tommy Lee Jones western to have tons of overcranked, reckless in-camera stuntwork F/X but sure let's give it a try!

the most deeply affecting western since Unforgiven

you lost me immediately by not acknowledging meek's cutoff

not having it is the virtue, honeybunch

Cool, good luck selling fans of MM:FR on it then.

the commonality: transporting traumatized women through the desert

OTOH, i am here for any love for Seidl's Paradise Trilogy which i consider HIGHLY underrated

i dunno about hard to be a god being underrated (i think it's universally beloved?) but it was one of the more hallucinatory experiences i've ever had in a theater.

Still need to see Capernaum
will add Homesman and Ingrid Goes West to the watch list
gonna continue passing on The Bad Batch

those fans are busy at amusement parks xp

xp, i forgot that morbs is anti-Reichardt

unless that honeybunch was directed at eric

The H stands for “Hot Lips”

nope! liked Meek's Cutoff and all her other stuff a lot, til the last one at NYFF

xp

"h" is my Otto Preminger-derived nickname for E

okay, i love you again then. you thought first cow was a snoozefest iirc.

yes, first dog

Paradise trilogy is good, but I kinda think Faith is the weakest part.

"h" is my Otto Preminger-derived nickname for E

Advise and no consent.

I knew you'd snag a husband when you put on a few pounds.

The wrong kind, unfortunately.

Ingrid Goes West is great

Alex Ross Perry picking Hard to be a God reminded me that I was thinking about it the other day - it’s really stayed with me in a way that would suggest I enjoyed it a lot more than I did. I only watched it once, I should give it another watch; I have it on dvd.

hate to be that (god) guy but i can't imagine it having near the same impact on a tv screen as it would in a theater? just too much visual information!

Yeah, maybe that’s why I never watched the dvd - for a film so immensely...filthy a bigger screen is better.

homesman is wildly good aster otm

There should be a fan-made Uncut Gems poster in this style.

I recently watched Apollo 11. The earnest fact and science-based world documented in it by the archival footage seems like the antithesis of our world now

I really like how they aggregate performances/work for those with multiple films to avoid vote splitting. Why can't the Academy do this?

Oh my!
