lol xpHave you seen any other Martel? Zama is way up there for me, you should def check it out. I mean people can randomly call almost anything a secret horror movie
― shhh / let peaceful like things (wins), Sunday, 9 June 2019 19:33 (four years ago) link
Zama's top-5 for me, a black comedy with a bleak punchline.
― WmC, Sunday, 9 June 2019 19:35 (four years ago) link
"secret horror movie" isn't a real thing, like if there's a zombie or a dracula or a ghost or whatever in the movie it's never a surprise tbqh

and yeah Zama's good, gratitude @ my friend who got me to go see it with him
― don't mock my smock or i'll clean your clock (silby), Sunday, 9 June 2019 19:39 (four years ago) link
some ppl were like "Phantom Thread is a horror movie" which is obviously wrong, it is a rom com
Zama is a neon lit.. it's a very very fine movie.
lol, first thing I think of from that tweet is p badshaw's 5 star review of gaspar noe's enter the void or some other git on that awful dross holy motors. but then i guiltily think of my own clownish hyperbolic bullshit that i've conveniently wiped from my memory over all sorts of other noisy dross over the years!

That tweet is so me it’s kind of a miracle I don’t like refn bollox much more than I do tbh

reminded me of the 90 minutes i spent waiting for mandy to end

My number one will shock you
― shhh / let peaceful like things (wins), Sunday, 9 June 2019 20:03 (four years ago) link
My number one won't, lol
It's a secret horror movie! Danger lurks anywhere on the football court, and only one man is brave enough to change the rules.

see zama dude, it's great
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Sunday, 9 June 2019 20:28 (four years ago) link
Ok I’ve been swayed, I will check it out. I haven’t seen any other Martel but have heard great things about La Cineaga in particular.
― flappy bird, Sunday, 9 June 2019 20:31 (four years ago) link
I don't think it's great, but it's certainly worth consideration

you can write-in vote for a dream you have, but only between #30 and #35

Yeah, Dead Souls is a must. As is La Flor.
― Frederik B, Monday, 17 June 2019 21:46 (four years ago) link
Feel free to skip last year's Lav Diaz, though.
neither been released in the US as yet, so stay in your ivory theater

you're at your most Dar-RILL in these poll threads, aintcha?
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Monday, 17 June 2019 21:48 (four years ago) link
xp yeah, La Flor opens in the US this August and Dead Souls only had a limited showing at NY Anthology FIlm Archives last December as far as I know
― Dan S, Monday, 17 June 2019 22:13 (four years ago) link
the hardest part of organizing a ballot for me will be the 'new-to-you' older films from prior years, I watched so many classic films for the first time in 2018
― Dan S, Tuesday, 18 June 2019 00:22 (four years ago) link
Sent!
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 18 June 2019 01:46 (four years ago) link
I do make that older films list in January bcz it's self-limiting
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 18 June 2019 01:54 (four years ago) link
limiting my new-to-you list to actual cinema screenings to narrow it down a little
― devvvine, Tuesday, 18 June 2019 12:03 (four years ago) link
I did the same thing
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 18 June 2019 15:40 (four years ago) link
any roma talk really did just disappear as soon as award season ended, only remembered it existed when i was trying to work out where the pic at the top was from
― devvvine, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 12:40 (four years ago) link
It did. And I'm fine with that.

will watch what some have called "the most impressive directorial debut by an actor since Night of The Hunter" before i vote
― devvvine, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 13:23 (four years ago) link
Oh god, that blurb. I'd settle for the "least embarrassing directorial debut by an actor since Lady Bird." Maybe.
― zama roma ding dong (Eric H.), Wednesday, 19 June 2019 13:30 (four years ago) link
lol what’s that for, eighth grade?

didn't get around to Zama but I did watch La Cienaga the other night and wow, not my thing at all
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 17:16 (four years ago) link
more like ZZZZZama, amirite?
― . (Michael B), Wednesday, 19 June 2019 17:17 (four years ago) link
can now confirm that a star is born is not as good as dead souls
― devvvine, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 17:18 (four years ago) link
better than cold war tho
― devvvine, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 17:19 (four years ago) link
Martel can take some getting used to; Zama is a *little* more plotty tho
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 19 June 2019 17:38 (four years ago) link
I didn't mind the pace, I just cannot get into body horror. I'll check out Zama and keep plugging away with the rest. I thought a lot of the composition in La Cineaga was striking.
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 19 June 2019 17:46 (four years ago) link
after seeing La Ciénaga, The Holy Girl and The Headless Woman I was primed for another film by Lucrecia Martel

I hope some people are voting for Hale County This Morning, This Evening
