It was always way too over the top and up Duffys asshole for me. If you like it I’m not gonna yuck your yum but I will tell you I think it’s trash
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 1 week ago:
I’m actually the opposite, in the early 2000s it was hailed as being “as good as Pulp Fiction”. Rented it at blockbuster and was really excited, at the end of it all I thought was “that was hot pretentious garbage”. I revisited it during Covid lockdowns, still a shit movie

If all the game to movie adaptations weren’t studio led soulless cash grabs and some young filmmaker who loved a game’s story/world and passionately wanted to share it in their preferred medium I’d actually be interested to see it and it may actually be good

- Comment on Kurosawa’s Ikiru, rare Michael Powell and a new Flipside among our Blu-ray releases for August and September 3 months ago:
Ikiru is such a beautiful and powerful film, I wrote a short review of it in college for a film class where I called it Kurosawa’s finest film although not as influential as some of his samurai films. I think I’d stand by that assertion even if it’s been a long time since i revisited it, it’s so human
- Comment on Superheroes 3 months ago:
I agree with a lot of the points you make here, but I actually think Batman will stay popular as a series and not just because of fan loyalty.
In Kill Bill the titular character does a long monologue about Superman being the real person and Clark being the made up one and is his critique on human culture. It’s a fabulous scene but I disagree with the point, Clark grew up as Clark that’s the real person.
But I do think that’s an interesting way to spin Batman, because Batman is the real person and Bruce is the act and you could and i believe they already did the most recent movie play it up as a scathing critique of capitalism, but it’s really long and I only saw it the once.

I feel like doing really great adaptations like he has is a really rare skill in his line of work. Dune was considered to be unfilmable even David Lynch failed to do it. But he did it extremely well

It wouldn’t surprise me at all, that thinking has infected everything.
- Comment on Brandon Sanderson's theory on why the film industry is floundering (YouTube Short) 4 months ago:
I don’t disagree with him on the point that the old model has been broken but I think it’s more complex. I think it was Matt Damon that said steaming has hurt the creative side of the industry because dvd sales can’t make the budget back for risky project anymore. That’s not the full issue either though. Theater experience has been going down and there’s a billion other ways to get entertainment in a social way now. This all leads to studios desperate to keep the spice flowing to only back what they believe are sure returns on investment while simultaneously trying to cut costs by reducing or at least limiting the compensation to creatives. There aren’t as many risks getting taken and producers are reclaiming the power that had long been surrendered to directors and writers.
We’re almost back to the old studio system, if we ain’t already there

I appreciate it, I think I just wanted to put it out there that it can manifest in multiple ways. But it does feel good to not be alone
