>It's a Korean movie
>There's a dopey fat guy who only talks about food
>He dies

>it's a japanese film
>it's an allegory to World War 2

Here's the problem. The Japanese ethos was warped forever by the atomic bomb attacks during WWII. Millions of Japanese men, women, and children were forced to come to terms with the idea of an overwhelmingly powerful entity outside of their control that could wipe them out of existence without warning using unspeakable weapons. They did this, for the most part, by exploring the idea in fiction. Godzilla is one example. Anime is another. If the United States of America were to deploy nuclear weaponry against Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and France, chances are the same thing would happen again: More Godzillas, and more anime. Do you think the world can really handle six animes? In the 1980's, United States President Ronald Reagan developed an idea known as "Mutually-Assured Destruction" (MAD). This philosophy stated that war with Russia would not happen, because there was no way to wage it without both countries being destroyed. I see this same situation today. We cannot nuke more countries for fear of mutually assured destruction when they create more anime. Thank you for your time.

Did we ever find out who wrote that comment?

Imagine actually spending time with this manbaby.

I don't know but he was/is a top meme'er

Speaking of top memers, follow me, machill54

What was the name of that girl with dark hair and glasses?

I directed Meet Him and Die and YOU liked it! I guess that makes you MaShill54

LEAVE THE REEEEEEEEEEEEEE-U
What patrician ENGLISH movie should I watch tonight lads?
letterboxd.com/yawned

It's a shame there's only two good Mad Max movies

birdman

Wow this is huge if true

I don't know why this would make me a shill though

its a hilarious pun doot.

I don't understand please expliaan

Prove to the general you're not a huge pleb and tell us how many movies have you seen from this list:

letterboxd.com/cinebro/list/they-shoot-pictures-dont-they-top-1000-film/

machill rhymes with mashill

you're right it does

I don't know how professional it is but I found this one.

I think we can attribute the general rise to price/availability of film and later the use of digital. The drop in the 80s must have to do with the invention of blockbuster and action movies. Nowadays every blockbuster is on the cusp of being as long as an epic.

Only seen 70

Nuclear weapons are a hoax, though.
nukelies.org

Tell that to Hiroshima's dead corpse

Will probably rewatch L'L'Avventura later. Dumb Letterboxd wont use their original titles and have to search with their English name tho

Went into MA in a bit of a ass backwards way. Kinda regret it not watching them in chronological order now.

I fucking knew I wasn't imagining this even with my extremely small sample size when compared to volume of released films per year.

I really hate this trend too.

369

>the decades of biblical epics and ten-hour avant garde cinema is being topped by the rom-com and blockbuster flick era

0.1 seconds in that page and you already can tell that whoever did that is not ok

what didn't you like in Blow-Up?

do you understand the concept of "average"?

also thanks for digging this up user~

What?
Listen to this woman, recounting her story like an actress.

As big a lie as the holohoax.

>caring about impersonal lists of 'best' films
>not being a pleb

Pick one.

>Favorite films of 2015 are Mad Max and Carol
Shit tier.

thoughts:
-TFA is the best star wars tied with V
-The classics are classics for a reason
-Anime wasn't a mistake

>Blow-Up 4/10
>L'Eclisse 6/10
lmao

249 / 1000
>Andy Warhol's Empire is on the list
Pfft.

>impersonal lists of 'best' films
Let me guess, you've seen less than a hundred of those, right?

do you even know what TSPDT is

Why would I have checked?

I just got my lettercuck account.

Can I just bulk add movies I've already seen or is this unacceptable?

a meme website

ur d*mb if you go through lists instead of body of works

Why is this board filled with casuals?

r.y.m. user huh?
yes you can bulk add movies youve seen.

It won't show up in your feed if you don't add a date (if spamming people is what you're concerned about)

or what are you asking

If you don't have any bias against modern blockbusters it makes the theater going experience much better in my opinion. Watching 90 minute masterpieces is more comfortable at home.

Depends on your philosophy
I personally didn't because I wanted to rate every film I watched and couldn't accuratelly rate films I had seen a long time ago
If you just want to have a database of films that you have seen it's ok

Traumatic Stress Post Disorder Trauma?

letterboxd.com/Meoman/

I really liked moon. Next movie is the big 200.

is "body of works" correct English though?
(not my first language)

Whom?

h'haaaaaaaaaaaa

>I watch what they tell me to, but you're the plebs

Who is "they"?

That's the mentality that leads people to read Stephen King instead of Thomas Mann and Faulkner

sup bitches

letterboxd.com/Breaded/

As opposed to the casual fucks here who watch like 50 movies an year and think they're not huge plebs.

You should be envying them. I do.

>that's the mentality that leads people to read something they want to rather than something they've been told to

Are any of the subs for Embrace of the Serpent watchable?

who are you talking about?

Who here "trophy collector" and proud?

I mean, if you really look forward to watching capeshit and reading dumbed-down dull formulaic crap for the rest of your life what can I tell? You're free to do it

rec me a movie to watch with my dad

how many have u seen? letterboxd.com/paul_bruce/list/the-criterion-collection/

Why should I envy them?

It's a Korean movie there's
>a man out for revenge, no matter the cost
>he wears a grey or blue plain baseball cap to hide his identity
>a big fat police officer, who probably dies
>a psychopath, usually seeking revenge of his own
>a loud-mouthed female police officer who also kicks ass

Honestly though Korean indie films are really fucking comfy

Is it ever acceptable to watch a film on a desktop monitor? I have two 24 inch monitors and some decent bookshelf speakers, how pleb is it to watch a movie like this?

207

You should try watching the documentary Eurocrime!, I'm sure your dad will love it

(You)

Funeral Parade of Roses

Nothing wrong with it as long as you devote your full attention to what you are watching and eliminate distractions.

My French and Soviet film knowledge is trash so yes I am a pleb but not proud.

5

well, I certainly do watch more than 50 films every year and I certainly don't claim not to be a huge pleb

...

Because they probably have better things to do.

Watching lots of movies is a terrible hobby.

most hobbies are terrible
most people even watch tv

Yeah, I turn my other monitor off to avoid any possible distractions

Watching a movie a day is actually a really good hobby, especially if you seek out quality stuff.

Better than spending 3 hours watching network television.

How did that quote go? Movies are for artfags and losers.

It is 100% true.

>Because they probably have better things to do.
I doubt it. They're probably wasting the same time shitposting here.
I have coworkers who spend their whole evenings watching cooking/music reality shows on tv. Probably more time than I spend watching movies.

Who dih

>/lbg/ cucks actually thinking being NEET and watching 4 or 5 movies a day makes you patrician

but i already saw it

>Korean movie
>Somebody says "shiba!" while slapping someone on the head

whats up with this user?letterboxd.com/maximeproulx/

gotta be bait

Alright, I forgot how average normies spend their time. It's still an unfulfilling hobby which is easy to feel burn out from.

Russophile?

>Montréal
There's your problem.

that list is old. here´s the ´real´ one: letterboxd.com/jbutts15/list/the-complete-criterion-collection/

>letterboxd.com/maximeproulx/
well, that's interesting
tries way too hard though

I have a 9-5 job and I watch around 300 movies every year.
Unless you're really work long hours and/or have a big family to pay attention to, the excuse "I don't have time" is really dumb.

222 vs 207 in the old list
