There was a somewhat interesting thread about Von Trier's Dogville earlier today. People were discussing Bertolt Brecht's influence, the Threepenny Opera, and other allusions/symbolism contained within the script.

It, of course, got quickly deleted and replaced with 14 threads dedicated to Star Wars (Andor™ now available on Disney+™). Such is life!

As far ad horror movies from this century go it's good, as far as John Carpenter films go it's just ok. He's such a great formalist though, it looks do much better framed and staged than every other mainstream american/horror movie from 2010.

what this does is extract the clips and then crop, doing both at the same time never worked for me idk, takes a bit more time because of that, you want to adjust these:
crop_width = 1420
crop_height = 1080
crop_x = ((1920 - crop_width)/2)
crop_y = 0
if the black bars are horizontal, then crop_y = ((1080 - crop_height)/2)

im sure there's a way to combine both scripts and maybe even use ffmpeg's cropdetect but it werks

The second sketch was really funny. It's so weird to see these light lovely comedies from the USSR when what you're used to from them is dire bleak faux-poetic existential horseshit like what is popular as "soviet cinema" in the west. It's almost as if they only wanted us to think of the USSR as nothing but suffering and soviet people as nothing but miserable, really makes you think.

>>212193181
Gaidai is great, although this isn't his best, that would be The Golden Arm, and that has a lot of satire on the Soviet way of life. In fact the soviets told him to cut out a bunch of scenes out of the film so he put footage of a nuclear explosion right at the end of the movie and said he is willing to remove any scene but that. The authorities allowed him to leave the movie as it was in the exchange for removing the nuclear explosion.

>There was a somewhat interesting thread about Von Trier's Dogville earlier today. People were discussing Bertolt Brecht's influence, the Threepenny Opera, and other allusions/symbolism contained within the script.

That was me actually. I like Von Trier. I’d say Von trier’s main influences are the Bible (obvious Christian symbolism), Bertolt Brecht (Marxist class analysis plus epic theater) and Carl theodor Dreyer. Dreyer was of course from Trier’s native Denmark and his style was minimalist- empty rooms with bright lights similar to what we see in areas of Dogville.

Here is an awesome video from Von trier himself on Dreyer’s influence in Dogville

Same thing can be said about films. It's either that, or they're not compelling enough.

Highly personal opinion. There's replay value in a game like Deus Ex.

>>212202631
There is a frictional cost to trying to glean whatever artistic experience there is in say, Silent Hill 2, since the technique of making survival horror has been improved iteratively 100 times since then and you're now accustomed to that. Meanwhile there is no real QoL difference between Lawrence of Arabia and Dune, two films 60 years apart. Technique was perfected relatively early in film's history. It's easier to watch an old film than to play an old game.

>>212205771
Its kino. Might actually give it a 5/5. Themes of the evils of the prison industrial complex, every man's desire to be free, and the obvious comparison of the people who run prisons to Nazis are more resonant than ever today.

>>212208949
you're talking about gooner theaters right?

times you acted like the manchurian candidate

>The films’ screenwriters, Preston Sturges and Billy Wilder, dismissed Leisen’s skills. Sturges thought of Leisen as an “interior decorator.” Wilder, who wrote Midnight with writing partner Charles Brackett, said the following: “… he fucked up the script and our scripts were damn near perfection, let me tell you. Leisen was too goddamn fey. I don’t knock fairies. Let him be a fairy. Leisen’s problem was that he was a stupid fairy.” Motivated to control their work, both began their own directorial careers soon after their collaborations with Leisen ended.
Based Leisen making those two retards seethe. Midnight is better than anything Wilder ever did btw, so the "fairy" was right.

That's true, based on stories I've read. They also said that it was mostly creepy gay oldfags that went there to get some action, and that ocasionally some whores and "liberal" women would come in too, but only like 5% of the time. Back then, there was one of those theaters close to where I lived, and people have said that attenders even did orgies in the bathrooms.

>>212189031

The pacing is terrible it just has a cool atmosphere and is iconic. It's really just more "iconic" than good, I wouldn't rewatch it desu. I always liked Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street more too.

>>212216190
That one is good not great. So is Starman.

>>212216404
The pacing is absolutely perfect, in fact it might be the best paced film ever.

>>212216262

1. The Thing 5/5
2. The Ward 4/5
3. They Live 4/5
4. Prince of Darkness 4/5
5. Big Trouble in Little China 4/5
6. Starman 4/5
7. Escape From New York 4/5
8. Escape From LA 3/5
9. Halloween 2 3/5
10. The Fog 3/5
11. Halloween 3/5
12. Memoirs of an Invisible Man 2/5
13. Assault on Precinct 13 2/5
14. Ghosts of Mars 2/5
15. Vampires 2/5
16. Village of the Damned 2/5
17. Mouth of Madness 2/5

>>212216469
The entire final act is an absolute slog it's so obvious she'll get away and it's insufferably boring. It's one of the worst paced films I've ever seen, if it wasn't for the music and the suburban look it would be a 1/5

>>212216404
Unfortunately your opinion is wrong.

Horror tier lists:
5/5 (classic) - Texas Chain Saw Massacre
4.5/5 (sublime) - Cannibal Holocaust
4/5 (excellent) - The Exorcist
3.5/5 (great) - Nightmare on Elm Street Pt. 1
3/5 (decent) - M3GAN
2.5/5 (mid) - The Blair Witch Project
2/5 (bad) - Friday the 13th
1.5 (terrible) - Hostel
1/5 (worthless) - Anaconda
0.5/5 (torture) - Manos

>>212217472
Nightmare on Elm Street, Blair Witch Project, Friday the 13th, Night of the Living Dead, Repulsion are 5 masterpieces. Cannibal Holocaust is close. No idea what Megan is.

Exorcist and Texas Chainsaw are massively overrated and mediocre. Hostel is garbage. Anaconda is garbage.

Based, this is the worst horror film I've ever seen.

>>212217472
Interesting list. TCM is one of the only three horrors that I rated 4/5, along with Cat People and I Walked with a Zombie (which are variations of the same film). I've never seen Cannibal Holocaust, but now I'm intrigued. The Exorcist I saw 20 years ago so my impression is rusty, but most likely it's a 2.5/5 for me, same for Elm Street.

We're all interesting here.

These sll appear to be genuine liquor bottles, at least judging by the fact that some are genuine, and making some fake labels, while using other genuine ones would not make sense.
Chivas or Chivas Regal is the Scotch bottle on the left.
I think the next bottle from the left is Old Overholt Whiskey.
The green labeled bottle is Cavanagh Whiskey.
The bottle on the right is Golden Eagle Dry Gin.
The bottle second from the right is an older Smirnoff bottle.

Some of the bottles are older designs, and other brands seem to not be common.

>While it is doubtless fanciful and recherché to read Paul Schrader’s movies as unmediated reflections of his own life and feelings, it is nonetheless true that the director/screenwriter’s ‘‘religious fascination with the redeeming hero’’ echoes his extreme fascination with himself.

the ones with asterisks I wasn't sure about including at first, but I didn't know where else to place them with how I have the rest of Europe split up, and I feel they fit here. also, I was originally planning to have the Czechoslovakian and USSR flags on the films where applicable, as well as the flag of the country that the director is actually from, but I'm now thinking I'll just use the director's nationality because the other way seems like too much work. thoughts?

Watched A Short Film About Killing and A Short Film About Love. The plot of the Love film is completely unrealistic until you realise that there are people out there that don’t close their window coverings, even when they live in a super exposed area. I can’t relate to exhibitionists.

shitty pseudo camp Blumhouse slop, how the fuck you rating that over The Blair Witch Project
Anaconda on the other hand is an actual B-movie delight and vore kino

Does /film/ watch anime? I've decided to give Serial Lain Experiments a watch since I've heard good things about it.

what are some Disneyland kinos?

>>212228982
Anime sucks. Don't bother watching it, it's laughable trashy pulp

Hello, I love THX-1138.

>>212230220
It does, cool

>>212230183
I love American Graffiti

>>212229494
The only real issue that I have with anime is that it's animated. Thing is, though, there's so much variety out there compared to live-action stuff that If I wanted to watch a halfway decent horror movie about mechs, let's say, I think the closet thing I'd get would be something like Terminator.

>>212227782
>A Short Film About Love
The ending was awful.

>>212230665
Terminator isn't horror or mecha.

>>212227287
Dovzhenko, Paradjanov, Iosselani, Tarkovsky, Vlacil, Jancso, Jakubisko, Zeman, Vavra, Menzel, Lipsky, Svankmajer, the list goes on...

Melbourne kid like you knowing all this about my homeland?

>>212227287
another question, where should someone like Larisa Shepitko go? she's Ukrainian, but she never made a Ukrainian film (film either taking place in Ukraine or where they speak Ukrainian) from what I can tell. should she still be counted as a Ukrainian director, or Russian? there are a bunch of directors in this situation, and I don't know what to do with them. I'm leaning towards still counting them as Armenian, Georgian, Ukrainian, etc., but I'd be willing to change it if that's what people think

>>212231435
actually, I've now changed my mind. if they are a USSR director who never made a film in their native country or language, they are going under Russia

RIP Florence Delay
she starred in Robert Bresson's The Trial of Joan of Arc as the titular character

>>212227287
I think there should be separate charts here, one just for member of the USSR, which would be a big enough chart, and then Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, East Germany on a Central Europe chart. The way you've set up here is gonna be way yoo big.

Noticed that when he said Deadpool and Wolverine was "good" earlier this year.

M3GAN is hilarious, eat my fuck.

>>212228982
I want to get back into it. I used to watch anime fairly regularly until 2015; since then, I just read manga a few times a year.
Lain is great. Watch Kaiji if you want a really entertaining and unique gambling anime with social commentary.

>>212230320
Sarah Gadon watches American Graffiti every summer. Amsterdam she once stated that if she could live in any movie it would be American Graffiti.

>>212231972
Just make a USSR category.

>>212232501
I can do that, so it will be
>Eastern Europe
Armenia
Azerbaijan
Belarus
Estonia
Georgia
Kazakhstan
Kyrgyzstan
Latvia
Lithuania
Moldova
Russia
Tajikistan
Turkmenistan
Ukraine
Uzbekistan
>Central Europe
Czech Republic
East Germany
Hungary
Poland
Slovakia
>>212233325
that makes it more complicated imo, because then does someone like Sokurov go under USSR or Russia? what about Balabanov? and shouldn't someone like Abuladze be counted as a Georgian director even though all his films were made in the USSR?

>>212233702
Nice.

>>212233315
>Amsterdam she once stated that if she could live in any movie it would be American Graffiti.

Anime sucks although Lain is an exception. It still has some cringey anime mannerisms, but between the plot complexity and certain aesthetic elements it's definitely worth giving a go imo.

do you have the webm from either a Japanese or Korean movie/tv show where a woman is at a job interview or something and asked her hobbies, which she responds with something along the lines of "I like to watch movies", and then the other lady responds with "Isn't that the same as having no hobby at all"?

>>212236908
>anons needlessly dumping pictures of mediocre looking actresses
Yeah the Chika Araki spam has gotten a little out of hand lately.

>>212237255
it's from the show Tokyo Girl you can find a torrent for it in the kdrama general shows pastebin

>>212218611
It's not even remotely close to The Thing. The Thing is a phenomenal work of suspense and imagination, Halloween is just some dumb high school girls being goofy and then a girl who is able to fend off a killer in the most predictable fashion that makes the final 30 minutes of the movie a chore, and the entire suburban cult thing was literally developed more in The Ward even though it looks like every low-tier horror movie of the 2010s, but it is an interesting story.

Literally everything from The Ward to Wild Things to It Follows (bad) has already done the same thing as Halloween while being less of a slog.

>>212218123
Lovely Molly, Altered, and Seventh Moon are all very good. Exists is okay.

>>212237479
lel thanks

>>212218276
As if Halloween didn't birth elevated A24 metaphorical Horor. The Badadook, Hereditary, It Follows, Get Out are all just new versions of Halloween. The only movies to ripoff Blair Witch are Lovely Molly (same director and better) and Paranormal Activity (decent) and Cloverfield (terrible).

>>212237761
I disagree.
BWP was the trope codifier to an entire genre of (mostly) crappy movies: Found Footage Horror.

The Blair Witch Project is actually the greatest movie ever made. You may disagree but there are objective reasons why this is the case.

>>212237976
I agree.
BWP was the trope codifier to an entire genre of (mostly) terrific movies: Found Footage Horror.
