PRETTY BAD.

You wanna talk about it, honey?

kill yourself

This post really hurt my feelings

imagine being over 30 and having this much free time

I'd literally kill myself

who posted that that's over 30?

>imagine being over 30 and having this much free time
perhaps they are wealthy and have the luxury of time

>being a NEET for life
Sounds comfy.

what? i've never seen Yojimbo before.

Just got up. Had a nightmare a don't remember, but otherwise pretty good so far.

letterboxd.com/samtlx/

it was bad but then I thought about machill and it was good

...

do you ever dream about people who post in this thread?

What do you guys think of Ben Wheatley?

OLD THREAD:

Kill List is great. Field in England is "alright". Not a fan of anything else.

are we posting dairies now?

wahoo machillcore overload!
my 4 88 films restored blus came today and also a kind fellow upload the latest 3 code red horror discs which I am excited to see

I like him and want to watch his new movie really bad

I've never been as interested as most cinephiles seem to be in national cinemas as categories. I suppose Jean Renoir, Jean-Isidore Isou, and Robert Bresson do have something in common other than that they all made films in French, but I have no idea what that might be. I'm not saying that there are no characteristics of national cinemas, or that an article purporting to show that Bresson or Godard might have some Renoir-ian roots might not be useful, but rather that directors, the whole output of one director, studying that, has always proven more fruitful for me than generalizing about nations.

>Auteur Theory was a mistake.

Dicuss.

your life was a mistake you dumb faggot

>Dicuss

biggus dicuss

The most essential point about auteurism for me is the way that seeing film B by a director can completely change one's perception of film A, even to the point of making it seem like a different film.

Very true point. Many such cases

ok, please discuss DW Griffith's The Birth of a Nation in light of Intolerance (and/or Broken Blossoms and Way Down East, which also have themes against prejudice and discrimination)

lol ok, when is the essay due, prof.?

Didn't realize this was r/truefilm...

The Birth of a nation has a scene where interracial sex is basically equated to rape and the heroine is killed whereas Broken Blossoms does the opposite and has sympathy for the characters. I think it really is as DW Griffith said that he just took the book to screen and didn't realize the contextual racism of the time.

...

Thank you to the user that suggested George Washington to me last night, its been on my mind all day. Absolutely gorgeous film

Any recomendations for tonight? I have advanced screening tickets for 20th Century Women at 7 30, looking for something to watch when i get home

Last 3 ive enjoyed are George Washington, Fat Girl and The Thin Blue Line

Wow, have you guys seen this list? It includes the best users of letterboxd, in a non ranked fashion.

letterboxd.com/elihayes/list/letterboxd-top-10/

Sure is full of great folks in there!

more like eli gays

I do like most of those users. The others I've not heard of.

I read somewhere that most of the racism is from the book and the Civil War stuff was all Griffith, but I can't say for certain

Personally I just think Griffith was a bit of a rube. He was the son of a Kentucky Confederate Officer and obviously was raised thinking a certain way, but he really never develops the awareness to transfer his Victorian sympathies for the poor to those of other races until he became a national celebrity and half the country called him on it. All his early films are about damsels in distress or the downtrodden underclass, then he makes an epic about how former slaves are conspiring to ruin the nation and the Antebellum upper class are the victims. You'd have to be a moron to not see the hypocrisy there

Now watch the even better George Washing

Mmm, dunno when it's getting UK release though. Also initial reviews weren't too good. I'm holding out hope though.

I am not gonna rate the mirror because i have absolutely no idea what i think of it

Certain Women is the best of the three i've seen, but Don't Breathe isn't bad either.

viy (assuming 1967 version?) was fun, and its freeleech rn
sing street was super fun too

why is link_gorro a pedophile?

how does he keep getting away with it?

discuss

Why are you obsessed with an user and shitposting with a dumb meme?

>an user
pls brush up on your english link_gorro

You're going to force me to delete my account and possibly my life.

are you actually considering killing yourself

Maybe Reddit knows something we don't.

One can only hope.

No.

ok that's good, I was actually almost starting to feel bad

This is Reddit. This is Memes.

Can patricians, e.g., like Bond films and kung fu movies? How do I reconcile an enjoyment of genre film and an enjoyment of art film?

btw On Her Majesty's Secret Service is pretty great

Yes, they can. I'm a patrician and I just watched Enter the Dragon.

This is Reddit. This is Memes.

wuxia > kung fu

desu

also first two Craig Bonds and a few of the Connery ones are great.

Post a video of you performing an operation, Healey

cheers

It's nice to see someone else rate QoS

This is not a dilemma for true patricians

Quantum is very underrated, tards get triggered by it

Lmao, forgot my misspelling

reminder that the "link_gorro is a pedo" meme is perpetrated by Pupkin

consider me triggered

well, the medium's dominated by lefties now, that's sometheen we'll hafta face as long as we're here. one of the few times i've seen someone actively shoot down the propaganda was with the la la land producer mane.

a truly effective & patrician way to react to unthinking brainwash-babble. swiftly but surely. props to the guy despite his tirade attempt earlier.

So am I. Fucking fags have no business putting their dirty hands on Malick

>the medium's dominated by lefties since always

>Jean-Luc Godard will die in our lifetime

Well shit. At least Chris Marker is alive right?

Where did you go Synt?

What did the estonian autist meant by
>Resnair
>will die in our lifetime

>just found out a few days ago Abbas Kiarostami died last spring

>Finland's only other famous person, Raautavara also died last spring

what kind of alternatives?

user, I...

>synt where are you please please pleasecome on plsssss honey answer me

some alternatives

...

I WANNA FUCK THAT FROG

>confusing Abbas Kiarostami with Aki Kaurismaki

Anyways, Finns still have Kimi Raikkonen in F1

...

If Alan Resnais will die in our lifetime but he is already dead then what does that mean?

Wait, did someone actually confused Kiarostami with Kaurismaki? Sweet potatoes, how embryonic are you people?

I have no idea what these threads are. Can anyone explain?

i dunno

trash movie

A Circlejerk between autists. Also occasionally we talk about films

Dumb trashposter

A bad place for bad people to bully and funpost. It's nice in a way
