How many (feature-length new) movies did you see this year, anons?

I'm only at 216, looks like I won't be able to reach my last years 300.

like 10.

reading and video games are more fun

>Sup Forums

What happened?

It depends

letterboxd.com/Shao_liu_ringon/
My four recent watches were good enough, decent, watchable films. My thoughts are in the reviews.
Well done synt you watched the cremator, now watch the rest on that list lol

Kind of want to watch the new birth of a nation just to see how horrible it is. Need an action film though, might watch Chan's Police story.

Only 150. I had college, juggled between movies, books, albums and games and had depression.

Make your response to this post super wacky so I can get on youtube

are you synt's gf????

Get fucked, lol youtube XD fagboy

116 features. No doubt a sizable portion of them are re-watches that I hadn't logged before.

Is this autism getting thinner?

>t. Synt boyfriend

>What happened?
I watched Boardwalk Empire and some other shorter series so that probably makes 70-80 movies right there.

I'll get back to you on the relationship thing when I divorce from my marriage to cinema, it proves the best of lovers.

>that probably makes 70-80 movies right there
Are you a middle school english teacher?

410...

award leaks when

I always saw myself as more of a low functioning sociopath more than anything.

At least I'm not machill or SJBs boyfriend.

Nice.
I myself dropped dvdrip screeners 2 seasons ago

I was excited for Birth of a Nation when all I knew about it was the premise and the image of the dude covered with paint or whatever in a foggy woods...then it became clear that it was actually going for Braveheart 2.0.

Don't you badmouth Ronald, he's definitely more interesting than synt and not as toxic as that thing

>Are you a middle school english teacher?
No, and I don't get what you're trying to imply.

>Boardwalk Empire
Not very good show tho.

what's everyone's fav christmas movies?
from what I've seen: Carol duh, Heaven Can Wait, 8 Women, Inside, Shop Around the Corner, Christmas in Connecticut, The Apartment, Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Metropolitan, My Night at Maud's, Pandora's Box lol

is there an easy way of filtering out shorts from your overall 2016 count?

Yeah I liked it a lot, been a film that I've had on the back burner for a really long time. Glad I decided to watch it randomly, enjoyed it throughly, more than I thought I would. I guess my next new wave choice would be Witchhammer, another one I've meant to watch for a while.

What do you like about Valerie and Her Week of Wonders so much?

It's true, I'm very boring in comparison. Painfully so!

I was looking at that list just last night and I'm confused as to what their definition of christmas movie is.

I imagine I've been blocked by SJB, actually I probably made that post to see what'd happen.

I feel I've started moving away from the oscar bait stuff in recent years.

Meh, it was alright. It wasn't The Sopranos or The Wire obviously, but it was watchable and not bad.

IMPOSSIBRUUUUUUUUU

I'm currently watching through Six Feet Under and Seinfeld. Good shows both, though I prefer SFU.

The Knick was great one. Think I need to watch the Sorrentino show about the pope, didn't know he actually DIRECTED it.

go to Films and there's a filter called "hide short films"

Nostalgia demands it be the muppet christmas carol and the Patrick Stewart christmas carol.

I should re-watch valerie. Alot of my being impressed with it likely came from it being my first Czech movie, saw it back in 2015 when I started getting into films. Then again, I'm very fond of Alice in wonderland type stuff and dreamlike films.
Tell me did you pick up on the dark humour in cremator?

...

don't like the ronald meme

Black Christmas is one of the best horror films I have ever seen. New 2k restoration recently released, I'll be rewatching that closer to Christmas. Vinegar Syndrome also released Jack Frost which is online today, while not as good it is fun. Sad I watched a dvdrip, didn't see that getting a blu release anywhere

210, like you I wanted to get to 300. Doing a masters degree really gets in the way of your movie watching. Bummer.

Which meme is worse Thanking you or Ronald?

Christ, that was very easy indeed, cheers. To answer the question of the day then, I've logged 361 features this year, I'll probably hit 380 but definitely ain't getting to 400.

Ah fair enough, I understand where you're coming from about Valerie. I'm fairly sure that was my first one as well, which is weird because I was under the impression that most people get into the movement via Daisies, which embarrassingly I still haven't seen.

And yeah I picked up on the humour, I kind of didn't realise it needed picking up on, it seemed fairly funny throughout. Ending was perfect mix of the funny and the macabre.

>don't like the ronald meme
Agree 100% rronald Reygan rules!

it's not that serious...

People writing annoying reviews on new films I get being mad at (and I do hate almost every review, which is why I don't go out of my way to read them), but why are even looking at Crossroads etc reclaimed teen movies if you think defending them is a waste of time?
Funny thing is this is a microcosm/repeat of the same criticism of feminist/wider social criticism that's been going on for 40+ years.
;_; "keep politics out of it!"

i've seen 240 total, and i don't watch very many shorts. was hoping to get one a day this year, but i stopped watching for a couple months back there.

They are both low iq in my opinion

324 entries in my diary when hiding shorts, idk if that includes rewatches.

Pretty good number in my opinion. I'll hopefully be able to get to 365 (including shorts) by end of the year, don't think I'll make 365 features

The Cremator is one of my personal favourites. Witchhammer is also really really good.

Is Blast of Silence on this list? I'm not scrolling through 12 pages.

Why is a great kinoment like TRIUMPH OF THE WILL tagged together with garbage like PF, Boyhood, TDG?

>Black Christmas is one of the best horror films I have ever seen.
This says more about the horror genre than it does about the film, tbqwy.

Post the stats so far bitch

What do you mean

Fuck

rude

I'm gonna try and watch it before the end of the year. On the subject of czech new wave, what do you think of Ucho? That's one of my personal favourites.

That if a film like Black Christmas is your favourite horror film then the horror genre is pretty starved for quality content overall.

letterboxd.com/invaderphantom/

I follow back m8

That's really nonsensical. Is your argument that the film's gotta be crap because it's associated with christmas?

Poll results as of this posting:

1) The Neon Demon - 8 votes
2) The VVitch - 4 votes

then theres a bunch with 2 votes (Kubo and the Two Strings, Swiss Army Man, BVS, etc.)

Going to give it a couple more weeks as people wrap their year up.

No, it's that it's not a good film, regardless.

Nice one /lbg/

Could you set up some way to vote that doesn't use google docs?

What makes you say that?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

I'll work on it tonight.

I watched it and assessed its quality as cinema and found it sadly lacking, my friend!

What are you watching tonight?

Probably the undertaker for me

Nashville.

I actually haven't seen it. Will add it to the list.

Did you order that from the black friday sale or is it already on torrent sites like CG?

I just downloaded: The Handmaiden, The Wailing The Lobster and Always Shine.

So I'll probably watch, The Big Combo.

It's not on CG, they have a 1 year rule before you can upload things, but the full disc is on the best tracker in the whole wide world!!! (And others)

the movies aren't there for much of a reason, just to bitch about people in the notes section

Handmaiden is my fav movie of the year and there's been a few I really liked, The Lobster is good (that director and wes anderson are in a contest to see who loves "comedically" killing animals (I thought it worked really well in the lobster though and...I do find it really funny rip) the most though)
going to see Only Shine soon, I ditched the Wailing 20 minutes in bc I couldn't with the cop comedy aspects and it just made me miss having seen I Saw the Devil a week or two before

>The Lobster
that was a 2015 film

letterboxd.com/voexodus/

685 without shorts

Strange Days or Gremlins

I really need to watch The Cremator, it's right up my ally too.

I personally enjoyed the 2006 Black Christmas more but without a doubt the 1974 one is a much scarier horror film.

I'll have to disagree, Black Christmas delivers well with it's unsettling atmosphere which is it's biggest positive. Also pretty neat camera POV shots highlighting a real menacing tone of the killer with a great buildup. If theres an actual flaw its some of the lackluster acting but hell it's still an effective horror film.

>685 without shorts
Are you a NEET?

I'm thinking of watching Sátántangó for my 300 movie of the year.

letterboxd.com/sumidx/

yeah well I saw it this year m8
and so is the vvitch then
fav 2016 in order: Handmaiden, Moonlight, Certain Women, Elle, My Golden Days, Love and Friendship, Maggie's Plan, Indignation, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Evolution

Of all of them The Handmaiden is the most I'm looking forward to watching. I just have to get myself in a position where I can fully invest all of my attention in an almost 3 hour film.

This weekend, hopefully.

What's the best tracker in the world? BTN?

Any idea why Ucho is marked as 1990 on Letterboxd?

nah, The VVitch was only a festival release in 2015 if i remember correctly

The Lobster was actually out on bluray and such towards the end of 2015 in europe

I have a job

Do you work in film or how do you watch that many in a year

I mean if you watch 2 movies a night/evening and 3 one other day a week it's not that crazy.
Almost every tv that I liked ended or got boring so I've watched over twice as many movies this year as last year, but not that many. :(

BTN is tv shows

the best tracker in the world is one that specialises in untouched DVDs and Blu-rays of non-mainstream films

god fuckin awful

The main flaw is that the film isn't cinematic and is only an illustrated story, like most films. I did enjoy the wide-angle POV shots at the beginning.

Don't work in film yet sadly just a movie theater but even then I dont have much time to watch new releases because I do other shit outside work

basically this

letterboxd.com/nuts/

Ucho ended up being released in 1990 despite being a 1970 film, because of the communist government back in the 70s restricting the release. Very tense, claustrophobic film and I liked how the flashbacks were done, its also that directors best film. Still trying to work out what I think of the ending.

I watch at least 2-3 films a day, in some cases 4 everyday though I'll be going back to studying next year so it'll probably be 1 every few days.

Tarrs wreckmeister harmonies made such an impression on me emotionally, especially its cinematography, that I dream about it.

kys

yeah man definitely give The Cremator a look, very dark and funny but has that pleasantly dreamy/slightly surreal and disconcerting czech new wave feel. Also got a very intense and memorable editing style if you're into that.

However I'm very disappointed to see such a low rating for El Topo, how come you didn't like it that much?!

The protaganist made me think of Peter Lorre.
Though I found myself laughing I kind have had to tell myself "This is pretty funny but its a WII set film I shouldn't laugh but I can't help it"

I hope this isn't another case of where a viewer found out a director raped someone and then downvoted a film because of it.

Fuck it, it's a comedy is it not? Good shout on the Lorre comparison, I knew he reminded me of someone but couldn't place where.

How do you mean? Did Jodorowski do that?

>Jodorowski
yes, google his name and rapist

I hated him before I knew any of that though.

I just did, I couldn't really find anything solid on it. I'm not even trying to excuse a potential rape or anything like that, but as it looks to me right now there's absolutely no proof of that claim.

in his own words

won't let me post a link but go to the post called Dead Rabbits—Or—"Too Much Perfection is A Mistake" on a blog called nightmare alleys
