Holy shit, what a complete faggot way to make the OP.
Also, could you try to be more desperate to be the one making the new edition of this garbage general?
>The mission of /lbg/ is...
kek, how delusional are you faggot. you must be german.
the point of /lbg/ is to shit talk about other users and pretend you're a patrician by logging obscure films that you haven't even seen.

Reminder that /r/movies is the definitive film and culture discussion forum.
>by logging obscure films that you haven't even seen
you mean by making your favourites all super obscure movies and only rate others by how obscure their favourites are and how many movies overall they have logged.

It is if your hobby is letterboxd general threads
It certainly is when this hobby is a general in a board of a site, and them being what they are

What are your hopes for future Criterion releases?
I can't even think of one.
dont get too worked up, it's all shit talking here. i like letterboxd. good way to keep track of movies you've watched. and every once in a while some people will have a discussion on movies they've watched.
>I can't even think of one.
typical normie.
The Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
>i hateee criterion so much my faves? everything by the hollywood collection :)
what exactly determines what gets a criterion release?
In ascending order: rights and film elements availability, moneymaking prospects
besides the fucking obvious.
rights + "movie buff" status of it (just check the reddit thread where they praise the canon).
+money
The Graduate is sucha good flick and I strongly recommend it if you haven't seen it, it show how America used to be able to make authentic mainstream art films and not meme "auteur" trash like The Revenant
Sometimes the selections deal with the technical innovations the films presented. Case in point, Armageddon and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Armageddon isn't a great film, but as the extras explain on the Criterion disc, it was one of the first films to obtain help from and access to NASA and the military in a significant way. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button developed new technology in order to have Brad Pitt perform at different ages. Therefore, the contributions don't necessarily come from the films themselves, but rather through the processes by which the films came to fruition.
You really think it's an art film?
What is "inauthentic" about The Revenant?
How is AGI not an auteur?
If you aren't already, I recommend subscribing to this subreddit: reddit.com
They've even got an /lbg/ favourite Edward Yang thread.
Okay, kiddo.
funny enough i actually just finished watching the revenant.
honestly, i loved all the raw frontier shit. the hunting and fighting was really well done. great acting and cinematography and all that other shit.
what it really suffers from is all the middle shit with the visions and "muh wife". beginning and end is great though.
The Dove might be the most pretentious thing ever
kind of criminal to have armageddon get a criterion release but no 2001:a space odyssey dont you think?
Why? 2001 already has proper bluray release.
Thoughts?
true. but i imagine there's a lot of behind the scenes stuff they could dig into and document that the blu ray doesnt have.
Not an art film like a film essay, but art like you are making a film with artistic vision, a genuine attempt to display your creativity without caring about critics
It's a complicated subject because it always develop into my opinion > your opinion, but it feels like he tries too hard, he cares to much about the technical details to the point everything seems a self-indulgent exercise of "look how good I'm making this" rather than a good film, I also think a good amount of the "inauthentic" attribution come from his "homage" to Tarkovsky, some people feel it's pure plagiarism; It is implied that Tarkovsky did what he did from a genuine perspective and Inarritu did it because he sees himself as a great director.
Do you have any basis for those claims and hate? Interpreting some cheesy Tarkovsky memorial scene as "i'm great director look at me IM DIRECTINGGGGG" is quite weird.
The problem is the full movie is full of Tarkovsky references, again, most people think of Tarkovsky and they imagine a well-read Russian trying to make philosophical questions through his films, making USE of technical details to convey his message, it is like Inarritu tries really hard to do the same but he do what he does because that’s what great directors do, there’s not an original message, there’s no substance, he makes technicalities the main achievement of the film.
tfw Wajda is actually pronounced Vaida all along
You didn't seriously think it was wadge-da did you?
go aawayy u have the worst account
What would mean substance to you? How would you rewrite a narrative in The Revenant (pick any) to have substance?
Stop using trash as an adjective.
Why do you say that? He has a good eye for cheesy, kitsch stuff, good bad taste as they call it.
HA nailedem
blocked by SJB hahahaha can't comment on that La La Land review that is pure cancer
fucken dumb ape. goddamn fucken idiot. so pathetic. so truly pathetic. i cannot stand to look at that polygendered oaf any longer. dirtugly chunk of catshit. cancer in your asshole, sally! centuries of temporal pain in your afterlife!
Reminder that la la land is bad just because the cast is white
>CW: white supremacy/racism/whiteness, gender
ahahaha what a fucking site my fucking sides
Wow i bet SJB is such a fan jazz, he must be a real expert on the genre and not just projecting his insane beliefs on the movie
That review was such horseshit. In the comments some fag runs in "wow great review, haven't even seen the movie yet"
I want to die
Some of the sequences in the untouchables were amazing by themselves but it never really came together into a whole
Emily Jean is amazing
One would think he'd realize that if he has to block every 2nd person the problem lies with him.
Then again, can't expect insane, narcissist trannies to be capable of that kind of introspection.

i agree w/r/t those posters, but i haven't seen Dragon Inn yet, and don't want to buy a poster for a film i might not like
(though i've seen Come Drink With Me and A Touch of Zen and loved them both, so i'm assuming it's a safe bet i'll like Dragon Inn, too)
