does chris nolan's insistence on casting tom hardy then covering most of hardy's face with a mask have a basis in sexual fetish y/n

Shame Bobby Gillespie has such a cameo in this but at least he dies a hero.

― Stevolende, 21 August 2017

oh ffs!

first film of Nolan's that I liked, and only after a second viewing

at least Christian Bale wasn't in it

ugh

pleased to give dunkirk the award for... *checks notes*...loudest film of 2017

Very rarely think of this film since I saw it, except for how loud it was.

I feel like this thread title should just be changed to "A list of a bunch of films that came out awhile ago"

P sure I voted for both Mother! and Sacred Deer - and yes, enjoyed as black comedies and as sidewise horror movies.

120 BPM will be high in my 2018 poll - it was on at the Glasgow Film Theatre for a week or so earlier this year, so I'm guessing it got a similar run at most major UK arthouses.

our Joel made a compelling case to me for Dunkirk being the least terrible Nolan film and not without merit. poll scores are fucking silly, obv.

Its up on Netflix now btw

way too fucking low!

had no idea Mac's mom was in Three Billboards

(still not gonna watch it)

yes, but you know no Oscar nominations xp

as per the two #1s for Billboards, "seems more like #2" (h/t Peter Falk and Neil Simon)

Every time a critically lauded film I don't like very much appears in these results I think we've got all those out of the way and then another one appears. I don't include Dunkirk in this.

rewatched Nocturama last weekend; very dumb interpretations in some corners of the media. had it #4

I loved Nocturama, it reminded me of Bresson and was sexy and cool as fuck, and was bringing down capitalism.. so much to love!

oh lol good fakeout sic

i think people were disappointed it wasn't a 2 hour lecturer on responsible social democracy

Timing of posting mother! after Alfred’s ‘Gay!’ post was impeccable. I wish Gay! mother! had been a film that placed.

let us all now pause to FP sic

i knew no good could come of some bloody Australian doing this

Killing Deer one was not my favourite 2017 film about deer, but I still really liked it. Given how much I loathed the Lobster, I expected nothing from it but it fell apart excellently.

12. Blade Runner 2049
d: Denis Villeneuve w: Hampton Fancher & Michael Green
186 points, 11 votes

It was boring and turgid but the music and the look of the film were amazing. A lot of cool ideas that went nowhere in the end and yes I know it was a sci-fi movie but jaysus it was daft. Lacking any too intensity tbh. I've yet to see a Denis Villeneuve film that hasn't bored me yet.

― Michael B, 6 October 2017

Listened to the score today - haven't seen the film - and it's exactly what I expected : a very precise, very loud pastiche of Vangelis' og score. A hack copy, if you will.

― Capitaine Jay Vee, 7 October 2017

pro - pretty movie, good sound, good costumes, good scenery, cool futurist ideas
con - bad script, bad acting, huge plot holes, tired story, predictable, jared leto, sexism, bad philosophical ideas

― the late great, 7 October 2017

this movie was lame

another joke? alas i suspect not

in my bottom 3

I like how this list is split between utter corporate rehash/branded garbage and unwatchable art films though - the state of cinema today, I guess

lol unwatchable

unwatchable?

how many of the art films have you watched?

none, they literally could not be watched

my only hot take for today is that BR2049 was way more sexist than mother!

unless we're talking about one or two of the boysy shockmeisters cos they are hard to take sometimes but i wdn't really call them art

Blade Runner 2049 could have lost Leto and about a half hour of flab, but otherwise I liked it.
