Thoughts?
Max and t2 are rewatches

Thoughts about what, you didn't give anything to think about

FUCK YOU

Green Room is your favorite movie ever? I found it utterly mediocre

I wouldn't say top of all time, but top 10 in the last couple years? Fuck yeah.
Intense yet well paced.

You know what you're looking at?

Yeah, that's right. A gnostic atheist with an IQ of 162 on the WAIS-4 scale. I've received numerous invitations to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, all of which I have declined. I was watching silent films when I was 8, and reading at a collegiate level when I was 12. I have a voluminous intellect and a flawless thought-process normally associated with the great thinkers of the past. They're already calling me the next D.W. Griffith. I'm working on a film right now which is basically Orson Welles's Citizen Kane, except better -- which would put me in line for a spot in the film canon. You've all allowed your minds to slip into idiocy by spending time on this message board, and I can see it every time I read a post here; the mark of a mind wasted. You were probably all gifted at one point, but you spend your entire days looking at dumb pictures of Japanese cartoons. You don't even have the spine to embrace your own culture.

What's worse is how all of you so confidently hide behind your veil of anonymity. It's because when you are inevitably met with crushing failure or embarrassment in one form or another, you can simply keep on posting and no one will be any the wiser that it was you. This results in you no longer striving for perfection, and instead settling into not a pattern of experimentation, but one of mediocrity.

I hate every one of you, and I have little doubt that if I ever met any of you in a debate I could smash your intellects beneath mine like a sledgehammer to a grape.

who's a letterboxd you pretend to hate and actually like?

Every day this kid opens up Sup Forums to start spamming pictures and samefags in letterbox'd threads.

With comments such as ''s-s-stop using l-l-letterbox'd!!!!''

And everyone just laughs at him. Tells him he's an idiot. He carries on, like the pathetic insecure loser he is, thinking he is making a difference.

When in reality, both pleb and cinephile like myself, cannot stop laughing at his pathetic existence.

The Demise of David Wark Griffith

When the Directors Guild of America bestows its annual laurels tonight, Steven Spielberg will receive the guild's lifetime achievement award. Since its inception almost 50 years ago, this prestigious honor has been known as the D.W. Griffith Award, named for the Kentucky man born 125 years ago, who, to this day, is acknowledged to have been the greatest directorial visionary in Hollywood history. But Mr. Spielberg will not receive the D.W. Griffith Award this year, as such industry giants as Cecil B. DeMille, John Ford, King Vidor, Frank Capra, William Wyler, Alfred Hitchcock, David Lean, John Huston, Orson Welles, Ingmar Bergman, and Akira Kurosawa have before him. Instead, Mr. Spielberg will take home the DGA Lifetime Achievement Award, a prize newly named to meet Hollywood's strictest codes of political correctness.

This is not the first time movieland has stripped people's names from their honored places in motion picture history. Ten years ago, Lorimar quietly pulled down the name of Golden Age movie star Robert Taylor from the Robert Taylor Building on the old M-G-M lot in Culver City to punish the late screen idol for his 1947 appearance as a cooperative witness before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Now, the DGA has expunged the name of D.W. Griffith from its greatest prize because, as guild president Jack Shea says, he promoted "intolerable racial stereotypes" with his great and controversial epic of 1915, "The Birth of a Nation."
Running more than three hours long, this saga of the Civil War and Reconstruction has always been heralded for creating a new, visual vocabulary for storytelling with its remarkable scenes of the Civil War and convincing human drama. Even in 1915, however, the movie's depiction of defeated white Southerners being preyed upon by black mobs and white carpetbaggers, not to mention being rescued by the Ku Klux Klan, was incendiary stuff, sparking criticism around the country. Of course, it's worth noting, as film historian William Drew does in a recent issue of Heterodoxy, that D.W. Griffith's vision of the suffering of the old South in "The Birth of the Nation" coexisted with the horrific depictions of slavery in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which Mr. Drew calls "the most often filmed story in the silent era." Taking stock of the themes that emerge from the Griffith oeuvre (an astonishing 450 films), Mr. Drew points out that dramatizing the plight of Southerners during the devastating aftermath of the Civil War fits in neatly with D.W. Griffith's career-spanning interest in the consequences of defeat an interest, ironically, that inspired many movies infused with a surprisingly modern and quite liberal sensibility.

Whether championing the rights of American Indians in "The Redman's View" or highlighting urban poverty in "What Shall We Do With Old?" to lamenting the excesses of wealth of power in "A Corner in Wheat", or attacking the repression of women ("Way Down East"), D.W. Griffith could be, especially for his day, downright left-wing from time to time. Mr. Drew cites the brilliant and kind of crazy 1916 epic, "Intolerance" as an example: Combining four stories from four historical periods, the movie is anti-war, anti-capital punishment, and anti-capitalism.
Political content, however, is not the point when arguing against the DGA's decision to expunge Mr. Griffith's name from its award. It was D.W. Griffith's seminal artistic achievements, not his politics, that led to his eventual enshrinement in the industry he did so much to build. The fact is, as the noted critic Andrew Sarris once wrote, "The debt that all film-makers owe to D.W. Griffith defies calculation." Hollywood, however, in its ignorance and irresponsibility, has chosen to forget that debt. In so doing, it has surrendered something precious a rich artistic heritage to be in accord with the latest and shrillest political demands.

Looks like Bruce Melvin and his gay Jewish boyfriend Winstonne and their lover Pete the Furtard escaped from the looney bin again

>gay

DW Griffith confirmed cuck!

Isn't Andrew Sarris a confirmed racist?

Facts are not racism. Scientific evidence is not racism.

judge me
btw I didnt see the appeal of breathless and I enjoy other nouvelle vague flicks, was it only good at the time?

Rate what you watch

He literally shitted on every film that portrayed black people in a positive light. You can really tell in his reviews of Shirley Clarke's films. And he never said "black" in a review, always said negro

>and I enjoy other nouvelle vague flicks
only because you relate to the self-inserted banal fantasies of rebellious and aimless youth.

It's too tiresome, I constantly go back and rerate everything to adjust to new ratings

>I only watch pre-1940 movies to seem more mature! XDDDD
kill urself faget

Who are you quoting?

I refuse to associate those creatures with the human race.

yes and no, but I do like the style. Breathless just had some quick cuts and nothing more, I don't think it held up

How come Intolerance covered capitalism, reform, sexism, classism, modernism, age division, classism, poverty, religious persecution, and war but not racial prejudice?

>yes and yes
FTFY

Man Bites Dog caught my attention early in the film. It tapered when I found that everything was kinda meaningless. Had some interesting moments but I feel it was ultimately just violence porn.

Everybody Wants Some!! is pretty much classic Linklater. Interesting premise and some good moments. Executed well despite not necessarily being anything new for the director.

Jean Vigo early films A propos de Nice and Taris were really cool for their time period. Vigo clearly had a fascination with the dynamics of cinematography. Excited to move on to Zero for Conduct. Too bad he died so young.

There were niggers in Intolerance

watch it again

>Man Bites Dog

>Too bad he died so young
Why? He wasn't good and did nothing original

Emily Jean Vigo

He made 3 short films and only 1 feature but most serious directors don't start with their best work. That comes with time that he didn't have. I think he would have done some great work had he made more.

Griffith shows the truth. Fuck niggers. They don't deserve a platform. Got more time than deserved. Intolerance is about human history.

>shorts

I show the truth. Fuck you. You don't deserve a platform. Got more time than you deserved. This thread is about letterboxd.

>what is Biograph?

I usually only watch features but make exceptions when necessary. It wouldn't even be possible to watch anything by Georges Melie if I didn't. I wanted to watch some of Jan Svankmajer's work but most of his good work comes in the form of short films. When it comes to Jean Vigo, if I didn't watch his short films, I would only be watching 1 movie he did and that's likely no gauge of what kind of director he was.

An irrelevant company I could have bought

Not with crippling debt after the first one
Oops!
