Just watched this. Why didn't they rape Eliza? Were they gave?

You don't rape women user, also she was a total slut irl you could just pull your cock out and she would suck it, I guarantee

Childhood is idolizing Mann, adulthood is realizing Friedkin makes more sense

Mann is a hack

CHILDHOOD IS IDOLIZING MANN
TEENAGE IS THINKING FRIEDKIN MAKES MORE SENSE

ASCENDED PATRICIANDOM IS REALIZING VILLENEUVE IS THE MOST KINO OF THEM ALL

Why can't a woman be more like a man?

I'm leaving, too many shitposters in /lbg/ today

If anyone needs me I'll be at /who/

What directors are the holy trinity of /lbg/?

Inarritu - Bresson - Ford

Griffith/Nolan/Mann

/dropout_bear

heavy lies the head that wears the kino crown....

I'm not sure I've found the third yet, but two of them are Ford and Ozu for me

You can't have anybody good in the trinity.

It would be Mann, Tarko/v/sky, and Markoupolos.

ltimate meme trifecta

Brian DePalma
Michael Mann
Hiroshi Teshigahara

Monte HellMANN

You're all wrong! The three favorites of lbg are clearly Yevgeni Bauer, Jean Vigo, and Dimitri Kirsanoff! It's only proof when these are the ones that are given 5 stars on lbg's profiles, not DW Griffith, Erich Von Stroheim, Henry King, James Cruze, King Vidor, or Frank Borzage!

Why do you Howard Hawks, but haven't seen his best film?

In early June, 2013, my best friend killed herself.

I'll have to get around to that one, I think the earliest film of his I've seen is Twentieth Century. Victor McLaglen and Louise Brooks sounds like a good combination

My dad once forgot to clear his search history.

>Ozu
Shitty Japanese wannabe Leo McCarey

It's funny and entertaining, but not really a good example of what is great about Hawks.

>I'll have to get around to that one
If you actually liked Hawks, it would've been the first you saw

>male companionship
Everything is already there

William Wyler>John Ford>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Howard Hawks

That's not the thing that makes Hawks great. It's the way the mise-en-scene grows out of and is based around the small gestures and physicality of the characters. You don't understand Hawks.

>mise en scene grows
i once read that wikipedia page too!

because of Make Way for Tomorrow? I hardly think one film is the basis of Ozu's entire filmography. The rest of his output doesn't seem to match up with Ozu's filmog; even the Lloyd he directed was made after Ozu's silent comedies.

I guess I don't like him :/ Are you an advocate of watching directors chronologically or is it happenstance that the quintessential Hawks is also his first film?

Already there at the docks when they both meet, the Louise Brooks circus scene and the scene when they're playing with the baby.

You didn't even see the film.

youtube.com/watch?v=KAnjyidxM-Y

Is this any good? Peter Fonda only directed a few films, is he any good?

its good

No, because Leo McCarey deals with regular human conflict and natural human reactions. Watch more than Criterion-shit, babby.

Why? What makes it worth watching?

Friedkin. Dude was more eclectic in his work and had a raw sensibility too. Even in his later work.

Compare Public Enemies and Blackhat to Bug and Killer Joe and you'll see that Mann lacks self awareness while Friedkin is in on the joke with those movies.

>Peter Fonda
Shit hippie just like his sister

Are you an advocate of dumb action flicks, or is it only happenstance that you have Only Angels Have Wings in your favorites?

The Awful Truth is one of his most popular films and it's a screwball comedy, miles away from anything Ozu produced to my knowledge. He may have similar humanist tendencies but I think predicating Ozu's entire filmography on McCarey's is tenuous at best

>even the Lloyd he directed was made after Ozu's silent comedies.
Leo McCarey came way before Ozu

He stole all of his trademarks from Leo McCarey

comme ci, comme ça

there's 4 years between their debut films. Hardly "way before"

Hawks - Brakahge - Mizoguchi

You can watch a lot of films in 4 years. You can rewatch a lot of Leo McCarey films

you're moving the goalposts amigo

wrong generation_bear EXPOSED

>it's a screwball comedy, miles away from anything Ozu produced to my knowledge
Your knowledge is stunted. Actually watch the film before you speak.

Is dropout_cuck /lbg/'s punching bag? Seriously he seems to get destroyed every thread.

I will always be better than you, /lbg/.

Physically, intellectually, socially, and especially sexually.

I never tire, I choose to sleep. I never hunger, I choose to eat.

I am corporeal perfection!

He's already catalogued. We're only waiting for the inevitable time it happens.

Name a better Bond, I dare you.

what a faggot, we are probably the only people you talk to

also, It's worth the watch? its any good? obviously it's soviet propaganda ,that does not mean its bad, but whats the verdict

exposed how?

hmmm nah

this might come true one day and I'll be thankful for the user who turned me onto exploring McCarey's filmography

You ignorantly spoke out about Leo McCarey's filmography without seeing any of his films. You're a clown. You don't know anything. You're not a historian, you're not a scholar, and you're certainly not a patrician. You're a clown at the bottommost rung of /lbg/ totem pole. Now, add those Leo McCarey films to your watchlist and status like the good clown you are. Dance, clown, dance.

It's shit. Watch Intolerance instead. Better poster and the better film. We both know you're not Russian anyways.

imbroding dis bread :DDDDd

I'll fuck you up you little shit

>You're not a historian, you're not a scholar, and you're certainly not a patrician.

I'm also not a big nerd

notice how dropout_cuck recoils from his pseudspeak and only responds with memes and short answers? that's how you know he was E X P O S E D

letterboxd.com/machill54/

whole lot of memes in this here thread today
well have one more: my profile and also life

I feel like what Don't Look Now does is so much closer to Bunuel than what Lynch does.

What director would you like to see remake the plane scene from dark knight rises?

Baby you the whole package
plus you pay your taxes
And you keep it real while them other stay plastic
You're my Wonder Women call me Mr. Fantastic
Stop
now think about it

Pure cinema is the poetic documentary.

im not trying to watch pure cinema

You're a clown too

You're not one to mock, Scantysama.

Your favorite films are ostensibly children's cartoons and the worst film by Wyler and Altman. You've had Best Years of Our Lives in your watchlist for ages, and you spend more time here shitposting while I'm only getting stronger.

letterboxd.com/SCAntysama/

Don't worry, I will be in the list of /lbg/ users.
And I'm not the one who always responds to you.

You've also just recently watched a couple DW Griffith films and gave them both low scores in vain attempts to spite me.

Yeah, well, I'm not a pedophile.

Dubs of truth.
