Do you expect anything less? Fuck actors.

>>212564835 (OP)
well the directors don't feel the need to prove they're not just boring people who play pretend for money

>>212564835 (OP)
Well yeah, their job is to convince you they're someone they're not.

you actually watch these lol

>Bill Hader picks his favorite movies
Who gives a shit about Bill Hader?

>the directors always pick well recognized films and classics
>well recognized films and classics

They have to make you think that they're smart and not just people who play pretend in front of a camera.

>>212564835 (OP)
lost so much respect for DaFoe watching this shit
Hader's wasn't too bad

>>212564835 (OP)
I would literally pick like Gladiator and the dollars trilogy. And if they didn't have them? I would ask why repeatedly until I was kicked out

>The fuck you mean you don't have Mean Girls? What kind of candyass outfit is this?

he could literally pick anything, you can't out cred him

>>212565146I'm obsessed with Jewish girls, they're the only girls I feel truly affectionate towards, the only ones I can love. I'm a pure bred white American, blonde hair blue eyes, no jew in me at all, but strangely enough my attraction towards Jewish women has never been one sided, throughout my entire life I've always had the ability to attract Jewish women with no effort of my own, they've always seemed to flock to me, even in settings where there's only 1 Jewish girl around, she always comes to me. My attraction isn't really based in appearance btw, although I am attracted to the phenotype, It's mainly their personality, their aroma, the neuroticism, the smell, everything. This is not a joke or some sort of shitpost, I'm being 100% earnest, I love JEWISH GIRLS! I'm going to impregnate a jewess and have several children. Thanks for reading.

Just watch more films, Criterion stuff is all mainstream

>>212564835 (OP)
Bill Hader is a fag, his movie takes are shit, and I blame him with ruining south park

>>212564835 (OP)
has there been anyone that just picked unpretentious, fun movies and steered clear of foreign tryhard dramas?

Cronenberg's picks were kinda shit, weren't they?

>>212564835 (OP)

i started at the bottom and had to immediately fail you

>>212568596
why?

>>212568159
op. yeah his pics were good. I didn't realize people thought of him as an actor. He's an SNL performer turned director for me

>>212568680
spike lee is a retarded nigger who makes retarded movies that are about retarded nonsensical "messages"

>>212564931
a gregg turkington criterion closet ep in character would genuinely be amazing

>>212568780
you sound massively butthurt over sal's pizza

>>212564835 (OP)
for me? it's lyonne

>>212565995
The actors seem to always pick pretentious slop, but then include something mainstream like Clueless for their last movie. And you just know they really prefer Clueless tier movies but have to pretend to be 2deep4u.

>>212566618
>first pick is a horror movie that scared the shit out of him as a child
Based.

>>212568387
All of the expensive box sets of course

>>212569138
isnt there only like 5 of those anyhow?

>>212564835 (OP)
>>the directors always pick well recognized films and classics
>>the actors always pick the most contrarian try hard z-list inconsequential french and italian drek
Literally then opposite? The older directors pick shit like Fellini or Bergman.

>>212569216
Fellini and Bergman are well recognized and classics

Bill Hader is based tho

So what is this exactly anyway? A closet filled with all the Criterion editions and these actors have to pick their top ten from the collection?

i'd just ask where hudson hawk is then leave in a huff when they don't have it

>>212569271
No they aren't. No one knows 8 1/2 but film nerds

>>212569038
What you call pretentious slop has emotional and thematical depth, but it usually relies on the viewer knowing how to analyze it. It's a skill you gradually develop from watching movies with genuine interest for years.

>>212569452
I thought they let you grab as many as you wanted?

For me? Just the Godzilla boxset, nothing else.

>>212565726
Are these Bill Hader’s picks or yours?

A new redlettermedia is out? cool.

>>212565468
They smell vile and are neurotic messes

>>212565468
>I'm a pure bred white American, blonde hair blue eyes,
kek nice bait

I want to see the seethe PTA's picks would cause. I think he'd pick Armageddon first.

Is the Zatoichi box set worth getting?

>>212566298
Cavett just had a great one

https://youtu.be/9FqyB5edf38

I don't know what this is. What kind of movies they have, or how many they can pick, but if I could choose three movies or tv shows of all time to watch right now at this fleeting moment with my current mental state, with a camera on me and people judging me, or otherwise; I'd pick: House Season One; Star Wars Return of the Jedi; Summer Catch.

>>212569481
Who else would they be well recognized by, retard? That'd like saying the Illiad is obscure and pretentious because only Greek mythology nerds read it.

If I went on there, I'd pick exclusively trashy horror movies and then wax poetically about how the suckling is an excellent metaphor for the struggles of women in society

>>212569481
>No they aren't. No one knows 8 1/2 but film nerds
This might shock you but actors tend to be film nerds.

>>212564835 (OP)
I never got why people in these videos all pick movies they’ve already seen. If I’m getting free criterion blu rays I’m going to pick movies I don’t own.

>>212564835 (OP)
You'd think actors would be more comfortable in the closet.

>>212564835 (OP)
don't they focus almost exclusively on artsy stuff?
I dunno fampai, cuz all my niggas stick with Arrow Video

>>212570076
it'd be mostly 70s and 80s porn schlock

They should have a list of the best classic movies of all time that you can't mention to make these interesting. I learn nothing from someone naming movies that have been regarded as the best movies of all time for decades.

>>212568387
>A man escaped

i like the zizek one, he seems to just pick up random shit and ramble

I didn't imply they weren't you stupid fuck

pta is an ophuls disciple, he might surprise you

>>212564835 (OP)
The directors are the only ones worth watching, actors are generally insufferable people who sometimes magically turn likeable for 2-3 hours

>>212570796
You CLEARLY meant general public you disingenuous piece of trash

Man I hate arthouse scum. No one cares about your slow cinema
