What's the film equivalent of Deathconsciousness?
Even better, the equivalent of Weighing Souls with Sand?

>>213806858
That's a leaf.

Gotta be Chet Hanks. The Chris Cuomo, Anthony Weiner, and Sarah Jessica Parker ones were wonderful as well.

Also, that pic of Paul makes me think he should've been the one to play Dr. Eggman in the Sonic movie. Not Jim Carrey.

I'll give you three guesses. I also really like Light Sleeper.

Tbh I've only seen like 3 episodes and Paul was one so I dont feel qualified.

I recently rewatched Obsession, and was re-smitten. I had forgotten how lovely she is in that.

You're thinking of Sarah Gadon and Amanda Fix

>>213808098
No, you've been shown several times that that's not the case. Now soccer balls.

I’m so tired of seeing Gadon and Fix. It hasn’t been funny for at least 6 months. It’s so fucking annoying.

>>213808529
this. tranny jannies wont do shit even though they literally added actress spam reports

Evening Gadonbros

>>213808932
His posts get deleted reasonably often (there are obvious, glaring exceptions). What more can you do about a ban evader like him?

Evening Gadonbro.

I cant believe we are only one month away from new Sarah Gadon kino in theatres!

>>213809044
Why didn’t Kogonada cast John Cho for this. I like Colin Farrell just fine, but he shoehorned Amwf into his last two films so it seems like it would be natural to do so with a known rice queen

>>213809044
Into the machine she goes

Waifufags are way worse. Throw 'em in the pit and let the dogs out.

Holy based.

Who let the dogs out?

He remind me of webm related.

The shit I poop through my dick has way more value than a thousand Kinskifag effortposts.

>>213809427
Puff Daddy.

>>213808529
He's been spamming Gadon nonstop for at least a decade.
>>213809209
Can I get a quote on one of those? Do you take Visa?

What time do you guys watch movies? I can't watch movies in the morning only at night time but if I wait too late and I get tired then I can't watch it. There is a small window of time I have to hit

>>213809657
You've been drinking semen nonstop for at least a millenium. The Millenium Cum Guzzler.

>>213809018
Grab his IP with a link and send the cartel after him.

>>213809665
I watch like 15 minutes, pause, then go on most of the times. Makes the time investment manageable.

>>213809735
It's either multiple posters or he's using a proxy, no use for IP grabbing either way.

>>213809735
Cartel needs to make a fisting into snuff film with these w fellers.

>>213809766
>It's either multiple posters
This is almost certainly true, but there's definitely a core poster doing the heavy lifting.

>>213809665
It depends on the film.

If it's something atmospheric or artsy, I try to watch it late at night. If it's schlock or popcorn stuff, I don't really care.

>>213809665
I usually wait until night when it gets dark. Any kind of available daylight upsets my autism. I also am a big fan of the early morning movie. Basically waking up at like 3-4am putting on a pot of coffee and watching something mood appropriate. My favorite early morning movies have been The Long Goodbye, La Grande Illusion, and Marketa Lazarova.

Passing through!

>>213809933
Look at all of those Timmies. They’re doing the Lee Keng Shake

>>213809978
They're Mexicans.

>>213810037
Yes, mexican timmies.

>>213806873
Deathconsciousness = Edvard Munch
Weighing Souls With Sand = Der siebente Kontinent
Both albums overrated beyond belief, btw. Jesu mogs to an extreme degree https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDLJjKGPOSM
Jesu is Andrei Rublev btw

>>213810037
That one is from the American Cinematheque showing.

>>213809665
Usually between midnight and three, sometimes on saturdays and sundays i'll watch something in the afternoon too.

>>213809920

What is it about her that brings out actual genuine insanity in certain posters?

I don't give a fuck about your stupid bitch, I'm just tired of the faggotry.

so i was looking at thelong goodbye filming locations and i just realized that the arnold+devito film Twins (1998) vaguely recreates all of them. i may delve into this further.

>>213811666
Sure.

>>213811678
1988*

>>213811678
>Twins (1998)
Stephen Altman the son of Robert Altman who worked with father on his movies was a production designer for Ivan Reitman who directed Twins.

>>213811678
Go on….

>>213811832
Fascinating. Should Twins be /film/ of the week?

Twins peak?

>>213811878

>>213812929
Awful, not even one of those "so bad it's amusing" films, just a piece of shit, Preminger's worst.

>>213812947
yeah thats my thought too, just checking

>>213806823 (OP)
Does anyone here think Casino Royale (1967) is kino, I've watched it twice and I like how dumb and silly it is.

We're all just checking here.

Where does Rosebud rank in Preminger's filmography?

>>213814043
Pretty low, one of his lesser films, still decent though.

>>213814893
Were you the camera operator for this unscripted behind-the-scenes shot?

>>213807550
Godard has never made a film more politically radical than this one. His Maoism was empty posturing and was rejected by Chinese people themselves.

>>213814893
Fuck off you smelly shitskin Pakistaanse cunt

>>213815239
>Pakistaanse
Ontologically evil post.

>>213815110
I remember reading a critic making a point that Godard's disastrous politics arose from his cinema theory and not the other way around. He also said Les Carabinieurs was still his most political film.

Why isn't the Gadonpaki banned yet? He has been spamming this website for years

>>213814945
No substitutions.

Many, many different people post the Canadian actresses Sarah Gadon and Amanda Fix

Since spoopy time just around the corner is Exhuma worth checking out?

>>213815331

Deja vu: >>213814056

Godard himself was of course innocent?

>>213815901
Yep. He was an emotionally-vulnerable Norwood casualty patsy whom she played like a fiddle.

https://archive.4plebs.org/tv/thread/213360942/#213363289

>>213815729
I wanna rip her lips off her face with my bare hands like a fucking chimp would do.

>>213816001
Are you black?

>>213815977
Their relationship was very brief. Godard’s artistic sensibility is too incendiary to ever stay in one place.
Glad to hope in this gay discussion and catch up on all your mid wit wheel spinning, heh. Nothing persenel

>>213816014
No, I just really really hate her and her stupid cunt face and stupid cunt lips.

Delusionally and to her own detriment.

During an acid trip.

Not morally-relevant, but a good indicator of her erratic mind

Based.

>>213817355
The probation officer won't take "I was on acid" as an excuse.

Dalle so craaazy

>>213817372
Again, kind of irrelevant. We're talking temperament and motive, not criminal culpability.

>>213817451
I don't remember this scene in Ambersons

>>213817035
Separate the art from the artist.

Watched this for the first time with no expectations, I thought it was a very cool film, really ahead of it time. I wonder how many people thought Jef was literally them in the 60s and 70s

>>213816199
>Lawful Evil: Charlotte Gainsbourg
Why?

Paris vu par - shit anthology but with a virtuoso handheld single take segment by Jean Rouch, sadly marred a little by Barbet schroeder's amateur acting

>>213817674
yeah

>>213817674
nah

>>213817578
none cause there was no internet or phones so people went out and socialized and maintained social networks throughout their lives

Jean Rouch was a great pioneer of Black cinema

>>213816721
I'm not watching it on my TV but I'll give it a shot on the big screen.

>>213817772
either way, Jef was still cool. There’s no way there wasn’t a legion of dudes trying to emulate him when it came out

New Claire Denis movie at TIFF

Senegal set Claire Denis movie number 325...

>>213820093
Claire Denis is such a fucking hack. Terrible movies all of them. Ugly aesthetically with lame premises, not a great filmmaker

>>213820169
I like beau travail thoughbeit

>>213820169
I disagree, a lot of her films are quite beautiful and have terrifically executed melancholic tones. But that's mostly early career. I think her last great film is probably The Intruder, and it's one of her very best. But after that she went into artistic decline.

Toto has way better comedies and this is the most acclaimed one? Critics were right, this was shit

For silence. Brutal. The silence of the beating of shots. The silence of cinema.

Also San Sebastian film festival lineup is up
https://letterboxd.com/neperfectionist/list/73rd-ssiff-san-sebastian-international-film/

I don't think that's the full line up so far tho, only 9 movies in comp seems way too little

>>213820533
It’s great if you just use it to keep track of films for yourself and don’t use it for the social aspect. I still write about any film I absolutely loved in my notebook. If you use letterboxd for the social aspect you are fucked imo. You are ruining the joy of sharing movies with others slowly over time. I’ve had some relationships where you slowly discover who each other are by dropping little hints about movies we found funny or adored in some type of way to each other and hoping they pick up on the hint and say something about it. I had this type of relationship with my chef. He had never heard of letterboxd and he would’ve rightly called me a faggot for using it.

>>213821679
Holy based.

Another thread of 4 Chris Chan type dudes talking among themselves... just die.

>>213817559

If you are asking it means the movie completely failed to provide a sociological representation based on piece name and concept story

Nigga was writing science fiction

Oh why but yes; I'm manifesting the contradiction of being right now.

>>213822282
If you can't appreciate the Schaderian genius of Cat People, you are simply insufficiently developed as an observer of the form. The metaphysics of perky gumdrop nipples and the dialectical interplay between Kinski being clothed and unclothed is beyond the feeble mind of the average /film/troglodyte.

>>213819094
I see people are still repeating the same old myth that Intolerance was an apology from Griffith for his racism in A Birth of a Nation. I've seen even movie critics like Ebert repeat it. Not only was Intolerance not an apology, it was an accusation against his critics. He even takes a jab at them by putting the moral puritans in the Modern segment on "the wrong side of history". For Griffith, it was his critics that were the intolerant ones.

Did I miss everyone shitting on criterion for the 1736362th time for fucking up the new Eyes Wide Shut release? Let me guess- this one is “approved” by Kubrick’s daughter’s niece’s best friend?

Kubrick should’ve been gaped a long long time ago…

We were all raped a long long time ago here.

>>213822995
I actually did get raped and molested multiple times by my cousin. Does that make me based?

>>213823028
Fellow grape victim here. No, it sucks. Only thing that made it tolerable was getting revenge on the piece of shit.

>>213823089

>>213823105
>>213823028
this answers the based question in the affirmative

>>213823089
>getting revenge
Details plz

>>213823144
I did 3 years for voluntary manslaughter. Sentence was 5.

>>213823217
If true that’s pretty fucking based. How did it feel getting the revenge?

>>213823435
I literally cried tears of joy when the dude died, but then felt a cold chill run down my spine when I realized my life was over. I seriously thought in the moment I was gonna face life or death. Luckily, the legal system was understanding of my case and the reasons that made me take such an extreme measure. It also helped that everyone in town knew the guy was a chomo piece of shit and had ruined the lives of many children.

>>213816242

New rule, you have to make Wiazemsky pictures spoilers, i don't wanna have to wake up and look at a demon.

I remember being a kid in high school and my film class were obsessed with the theory that Kubrick was murdered for exposing the elites. They were all visibly upset and excited. Who cares? The nigga was like 70. If most, he had like a couple more movies that would’ve most likely been shit just like eyes wide shut.

>>213816225
This >>213816242, also that documentary The Staircase, it's an amazing courtroom drama.

>>213818390
The opposite of Amanda Fix.

>>213823757
Awful take

>>213823727
>larping
It’s called acting and it’s an art form poser.

>>213823803
Kubrick was most likely a secret society initiate. He was only exposing the method.

Amazing. I bet those years in prison were brutal, but you’re a fucking hero. Absolute legend, hope you were able to recover and also still get work and have a life now that you’re out.

The prison years were obviously harsh on some respects, but all things considered, I had a ton of luck while I was there.
Going to prison as a chomo killer is a completely different thing than going as a chomo or a woman beater. Believe me when I tell you, those guys are as good as dead inside prison; life is just constant torture for them.
As for life after prison, it's honestly been hard as fuck, but I feel blessed nonetheless. I've been doing things I'd never thought I'd do or see since I got out, and the best part is that I finally achieved peace of mind after all of these years.

>then Denzel Washington's character enters a subway and suddenly the visuals change from Netflix digital to being shot on crispy film stock, we get an entire montage like that during the subway sequence; after it the image changes back to digital

Schrader is mid as a motherfucker. Brother has to stick to Marty; now that's what I call a Director (capital D)

>>213827479
Schrader has unironically made more great films than Scorsneedy. With Paulie, you get Taxi Driver, without you get mobslop like Mean Streets. Sorry, not sorry.

>>213827560
>he names two movies directed by Scorsese
I accept your defeat.

>>213827560
Mean Streets is a good movie. Scorsese didn't turn into Scorshitty until Goodfellas which felt dry and anemic. But then I found Casino to be basically a better, meatier version of Goodfellas and Bringing Out The Dead just excellent ! although that was a Schrader collaboration). But the rest of what he did from that period and on is quite mediocre to shit (Irishman is borderline incompetent to the point I thought Scorshitty got senile, although after it Killers of the Flower Moon was actually decently made so I blame Netflix for the Irishman awkwardness, Killers wasn't really a good movie either tho, Scorsese focused on all the wrong elements narratively).

>>213826210
Kino!

>>213827560
Sure, bro, whatever satisfies your obsession. Average Paul film is just Bresson plagiarismo extravaganza with some of the shittiest last acts I've witnessed in my life (Hardcore is straight up parody shit).
And btw, Scorsese is one of the most consistent directors of all time; there is no "Scorshitty". His most mid material is like a 6/10.

>>213827681
That what I said

>>213827757
The Departed is embarrassing so is The Irishman. /tv/ fellates Silence but it's extremely bland. Shutter Island is a melodramatic (in poor taste) Cabinet of Doctor Caligari remake.

Marty never made anything as good as Mishima, American Gigolo, Affliction, or Cat People. I was merely pointing out that most of his best films were written by Schrader and thus have his distinct auteurial touch. And I like the ending to Hardcore, dont know why people make such a fuss about it.
>>213827663
I didn't care for Mean Streets personally, it's a little too rough around the edges. In general I like Scorsese though, dont get me wrong. After Hours and King of Comedy are some of my favorite movies.

Mishma is like 6.8/10

>>213828177
Did you like Light Sleeper?

>>213828177
>it's a little too rough around the edges
That’s one of the reasons why I liked Mean Streets.

Movies for this feel besides the obvious

>>213827824
>The Departed is embarrassing so is The Irishman
These films are not similar in any way, The Irishman is an awful, poorly made film while The Departed is as good of an American adaptation of Internal Affairs was ever going to get.
>Marty never made anything as good as Mishima, American Gigolo, Affliction, or Cat People
He made Taxi Driver, King Of Comedy, Mean Streets, Raging Bull, and Goodfellas; all of which are as good or better and certainly far more influential.

>>213828608
American Gigolo, Affliction and Cat People are all worse than every single movie zoom zoom listed. The best Schrader I have seen is Light Sleeper.

I legitimately cannot comprehend anyone watching Cat People and thinking it was good. I even watched it at the kinoplex. I think it is just Kinskifag’s infatuation with Kinski that makes him believe he watched something special.

>>213828217
TRVKE. One of the most overrated films, ong.

>>213827824
Departed is embarrasingly good and mogs IA to infinity. Makes IA seem AI gen'd by comparison.

>>213828733
Bro's obsessed to shit. Straight up living in Copeland, KS.

For the person saying that cinemas are a lost cause some threads back, I totally disagree. Not to be too much of a vibefag, but I can literally feel the feelings of everyone in the room. It affects the movie that is being projected. It’s a totally different experience than simply watching a film at home.

>>213828799
It’s so much more intense than just watching a movie at home. I’m talking about arthouses though where people are totally immersed.

Tears run down my face like dead leaves blowing in the wind.

>>213828247
Light Sleeper rules, but I wasnt about to say it was better than anything Marty made.
>>213828733
I believe that it's the most underrated film of the 80's and I will die on that hill. It's a peephole directly into the Id.

Please rec me a soft movie I’m feeling vulnerable.

Jealous.

The Wind Rises is a great one, especially for this time of year. It's first movie that pops into my head when somebody says "bittersweet"
>>213828799

They won't ever be, it's metroplexes that are going to die. The future of cinema is a retvrn to smaller two or three theater cinemas.

The good ending

While you retards were bickering about Schrader and Scorsese (both beyond mid), i was outside in the fresh air and sunshine, walking for two hours, looking at birds, trees and milfs.

>>213829539
>i was outside in the fresh air and sunshine, walking for two hours, looking at birds, trees and milfs.
I just got back from work doing shipment for a kinoplex in Arizona. They took the garbage out from last night so it only slightly smelled like spoiled buttermilk.

Wouldn’t it be great if cinema distilled itself into pure art and the only ones who kept the medium alive were those who only ever saw it as art. We’d be like hermit cavemen watching shadows dance on the wall. The good ending…

Back to the beginning. Familiar, warmth, a crackling hearth and shadows dancing on the wall. Just like it’s supposed to be. The ones who care will be the ones who remain. The peak of cinema.
