What movie that you watched this year differed most from your expectations?

what's wrong with the movies made by Tarantino?

Nothing? I guess they might be too edgy or dark for some people, after all they're mostly about murderers and killers of various kinds.

I guess the references and obvious influences from old films might grate someone.

fucked my mind up near the end
it was great tho

When I watched The Yards I expected another mediocre somber melodrama made by Gray. That was exactly what I got.
The infamous overrating of JG by so many is really a strange thing.

mostly the underage/pleb fanbase and tarantino's autistic behaviors

i have to agree i don't understand what people see in his films at all

They're the kind of thing, along with The Matrix or Donnie Darko, that you see when you're fourteen and it really affects you, but by the time you're an adult you should probably be past them. He writes for older children, basically. He's competent, to be certain, but hardly anything else.

He has a horrible fanbase that gets mixed up with his films.

What should I watch today?

Alright famalam. I`ll check out Empire of Passion after it since it´s leaving MUBI soon

How would I know how the Cannes films have been? It's fooking July.
You can only really analyze a year by the half of the next.

When will you stop watching films seemingly randomly

Pick a double feature from some director. La Dolce Vita & 8 1/2 go.

>Already seen 8 1/2.
Then watch it again in new light after seeing it once and seeing another film by the same director.

t. amaranth

Is he finally back for good?

He can only possibly have logged them that day. No other way to explain this madness

I feel like this is the third time I've suggested Castaway on the Moon.

Two wrong ones there
>dumb overrating of merely good horror film
>insane underrating of very good and charming Boyle work
I hope the SM thing isn't justified by some sjw reason

It's usually better to focus on either a movement, a time period, a director, or a genre because you actually gain insight into different arenas of filmmaking. You'll understand how directors differed, what attitudes where prevalent in what part of the world at what time, or just how a director's techniques and sensibilities changed over time and/or the prevailing stylistic or thematic concerns of the catalogue. It ends up being much more rewarding than just randomly collecting unconnected films with no relation to each other.

Currently working on gendai-geki films from 30s-60s Japan. Primarily Ozu, Naruse, Mizoguchi, and Kurosawa -- anyone know of any other directors I should check out in this sphere?

...

I'm ignorant of Japanese cinema. What's your account mate?

Well point taken

letterboxd.com/machill54/

hello how is your day going. good I hope

>mfw our tax payed tv channel is streaming "A Touch of Sin" and "Like Someone in Love" for free

He seems to just log on every few days and log films all at once instead

what should I watch next?

I would add Teinosuke Kinugasa mainly just for Gate of Hell

go to bed australia

letterboxd.com/MrEnormous/
I'm no expert, but I've dipped into a few directors. Also check out Japanese New Wave (Oshima, Teshigahara, Suzuki, Kobayashi) and Yakuza films at some point.

Yeah I've had that movie in my queue for a while -- the use of color from what I've seen in little snippets is pretty great. Does he have other good stuff?

letterboxd.com/crete/

haha I cant believe I'm on those charts considering that I dont post here that much, I'm glad someone cares

letterboxd.com/SimplyEric/

friends

If you`re interested in Japanese cinema I would suggest you watching Shinya Tsukamoto, Takeshi Kitano and yeah it´s anime but still Satoshi Kon

Oh I've heard good things of Kon and Kitano, but I hadn't heard of Tsukamoto. Thanks for the recs!

me

What are you implying with your spoiler, 'friend'?

I just meant that some people are not fan of anime and I thought that he might not be a fan of the genre

You should make some sort of list where you go through your journey. Would help other people to get into the genre?

What are the best endings in film?

2016 has been disappointing in films so far

Daily reminder to start watching more movies and stop being huge plebs.

>mfw almost 20%

I haven't seen any other Kinugasa, but from what I hear A Page of Madness is good

best film coming

>memeactors
No thx.

>kino.
stob its not fun

A Page of Madness is fantastic, I would recommend it to anyone even if you aren't particularly a fan of silent cinema. I plan on watching Crossroads as soon as possible

I'm not a weebfaggot and I know more than

Well, most years are if you judge by this month

nice spoiler

>5%

When Jena Malone betrayed Elle Fanning and ate her

>26%
Not too bad

I'll probably watch it tonight. It's been on my watchlist forever

Probably just didn't check every film he has seen when he registered to the site. I didn't back then

account?

>epin gif
>ride on
>Not too bad
Fuck off embryo pieces of shit.

Do you feel happiness, joy, do you cum doing that?
If not, I really can't see the reasoning.

Gotta go to work in like 8 hours, but fuck it, I'm gonna watch this now.

>White Dog
>directed by Samuel Fuller
>A trainer attempts to retrain a vicious dog that's been raised to kill black people.

>Thinking you can spoil a visual medium.

how was carnival of souls? was planning on watching that tonight actually

Have you completed any filmographies this year?

That movie is hilarious

>tfw i'm not in that list

Fuller made some nice pulp here and there, but well, he was a raging sjw/populist. Would be a 'niggerlivesmatter' supporter nowadays and other shit like that.

13% goddammit

>White Dog
How is thee film *White God*?
letterboxd.com/film/white-god/

It's about doges too

>Johnnie To (officially credited works, excluding tv credits)
>F.W. Murnau
>Erich von Stroheim
>Monte Hellman

Chen Kaige next, I think.

I'm not that fag that blogs about every movie he watches but I thought it was good.

>stob its not fun

He ranges from based (Steel Helmet, Jesse James) to pathetic (Crimson Kimono, Verboten). At least he's never boring.

Best films from each director?

I only know To from those. Did you like his romantic films or his thrillers more?
