i was also sorta bored by this, but not in an aggressively unpleasant way, since i still realy liked it. struck me as appropriate to the whole sober approach of the movie to never really allow the Ravel piece that pops up a few times to really take up all the space on the soundtrack--it always seems rather muted.― ryan, 6 April 2017

i promised myself i was never gonna fuck with BR 2000 but if i keep hearing how pretty and boring and vapid it is i'll probably end up seeing it eventually, plus Jared Leto has somehow become a guilty pleasure of mine

the original movie and the book are irrelevant to how bad BR 2049 wasbut since you brought it up it fundamentally *misses* PKD's essence imo, which is that humanity is defined by empathy (and not by, like, whether your memories are real or who your daddy was)

it's extremely pretty and boring and vapid, nood xp

Didn’t see it, carry on

The Lost City of Z felt, to me, like the kind of movie that might have been a major Hollywood release in decades past, but is treated as arthouse fare these days. I liked it.

respectively
there's a hallucinatory clarity to Gray's film that has nothing to do with Boorman or Herzog; he's one of a kind among American directors.

Lost City was really pretty, especially in some of the final shots.

second view of AQP: future Governor Nixon still excellent, as is Ehle, but some real problems in the script and supporting cast. Knocked it to my second ten.

A Quiet Passion made me think of mortal fragility and aching sadness and there were some tremendous performances. my no.1 and I watched it 4 times.

there were some beautiful sequences in AQP but i was disappointed. one character whose witticisms were meant to delight dickinson was partic painful
