And now for the movie I'd hoped would be the saving grace in a year that seemed like an artistic hole. And it turns out, it totally is - and then some. Leave it to Pixar to tap into raw emotions and make you feel things - all the things. Jaw-dropping animation - in-movie NYC felt much like the real deal with all the dimensions, the details in the streets and some stellar light and shading. There's a certain vibrancy to this movie's visual style that really brings its world to life. Then there's the beautiful score by Jon Batiste and Trent Reznor + Atticus Ross. Plus the sound design - crisp and clear, it's like the rhythm of certain dialogues have a musical quality to them too. And the themes: This is bound to resonate with many on such a deeply personal level - a specialty of Pixar. I was spellbound. It's still a bit early, but I believe next to "Inside Out", this is probably my favorite Pixar movie (out of those I've seen). This was downright cathartic.


A+

a season's classic:

WHIT STILLMAN'S "METROPOLITAN" (1990)



i like it more with every rewatch

Little Giants.

Watched The Hateful Eight, its set at Christmas. The Extended version on Netflix. Then I watched A Carol For Another Christmas, a tv movie written by Rod Serling which I had never seen before, and it was fantastic.

Is the extended version recommendable? I don’t think we have it on Netflix in Europe, but I just read that a very large part of the additional duration is taken up by the elaborate end credits

Anyway:


And also:

Awww, you put a little love in your heart.

This may prove interesting to some of you:

Phantom Thread — great and weird
Hidden Figures — pretty good, a bit basic from a filmmaking standpoint, but good

Glory Daze

another piece of brilliance that improves with every rewatch

i had heard about this guy before but never read him. now here he is, and wow, he was great, seriously, my kind of glutton (but i'd do intermittent fasting with a job like that).

he really shows what's great about his town, but i still wouldn't live in fucking l.a. with all the cars cars cars hahahaha. fuck cars! sorry but no. he died too young probably from a combination of too many restaurants and not enough walking.

does make me wanna visit post-pandemic, however.

Wonder Woman 1984 - decent fun for a lazy holiday weekend, but that’s it
Disaster Artist - Having not seen The Room in full… I still quite enjoyed this one
The Favourite - Great, grotesque black comedy/tragedy

If we count documentaries, "The Orange Years: The Nickelodeon Story"

The remake of The Witches by Bob Zemekis.
It was kinda charming and fun, appropriately dark for a Roald Dahl adaptation. Anne Hathaway looked like she was having fun, but I can tell her performance is going to really irk the people who inexplicably hate her. She chews scenery like mad. But still, fine movie.

Entering the new year with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

The Cable Guy

man, for me, this movie was even sadder than silverado

The Lighthouse.
Cool movie with cool visuals. Not sure there was much substance though.

Yes, God, Yes.


Tickles all my funny bones about poking fun at religion as well as early 2000s internet.

lol, I thought you were referring to the previous comment but it is an actual movie :p
anyway, I watched Young Adult yesterday. I'm usually not the type for those rom-com flics, and this turned out to be not the usual one. And I actually quite liked it

We Can Be Heroes, on Netflix

Nah, didn't like it very much. It has its moments, but it's too sugar sweet.

try this instead

Uh, the Lighthouse does?

Anyway I watched The Sound of Metal on Prime. ‘Twas very, very good.

Also some movie called Downhill on HBO. Can’t figure out if it’s a comedy or a drama, but it’s not very funny or dramatic, so I guess it’s kinda bad? But it has some nice scenic shots.

Oh and the Babysitter with Jonah Hill. Not sure why, just bored and it was on. Wasn’t very good.
And I also watched Eighth Grade. That was good.

Sound of Metal is great, more people need to discover that movie.

Downhill is a remake of a Swedish movie called Force Majeure, which is actually pretty good. Not sure what if any are the differences between the original and the remake, but would recommend the original movie.

Sound of Metal is great, one of the best movies of 2020.

Last night I watched Kong: Skull Island, which is alright. I'm actually looking forward to Kong VS. Godzilla.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8949056/ It was a literal title.

recently i watched Intouchables

since we're probably at defcon 4 right now i thought we can have a laugh in case it all ends soon

Oh lol

this little beauty

bill plympton's "the cow who wanted to be a hamburger"

watch it here:

I watched this movie a few months back already but it's somehow still stuck in my head


That Yul Brynner is very impressive as the robotic villain!! Definitely was a big inspiration for the robocop in Terminator II. Guess I will need to watch Westworld the series now too ....
I'll watch the movie again first

Captain Ron, boss.

stupid and funny, good saturday morning cartoons:



the trailer gives away too many jokes so i removed the link

Better than most mainstream horror movies.
