Saw this for the first time this year

are you fucking retarded?

No? It was playing locally so I thought the first time I saw it might as well be in a theater.
Also rude.

what's this film is about? poster looks interesting

also, MOTY for me is Good Time, but i haven't seen Blade Runner 2049 yet

Pic related probably, need to see Lady Bird, Florida Project, The Square, Happy End, Killing of a Sacred Deer, and a few others

maybe he saw the 35th anniversary screening.

Good Time?
Waste of Time

haha cute. kill yourself.

The movie sucked after the first thirty minutes

this shit was trash

you just outed yourself as a pleb

...

Ok, how was it supposed to turn out after that arbitrary amount of time?

...

Fucking gay.

Supposed to turn out better than that meandering piece of shit with a nonending

>meandering
>nonending
nether of those things are true. you're just shit at movies. get a new interest.

...

>goes from focused "we need money" to "I fucked up and have to save my brother" to "imma fuck this black child and whoops i accidentally kidnapped the wrong man how silly!" without any of the irony or comedy such stupidity deserves but fortunately he's a contrived element who can help me make much more than I need
>plot evaporates at the end with mongoloid brother marching and mumbling around while a man sings about crocodiles

Just absolutely braindead. You didn't even understand that he seduced the black chick in a complete act of self preservation to distract her from seeing his mugshot on the news. How the fuck am I supposed to expect you to get such a simple crime flick if you can't even make that connection? How is "we need money" focused?

Thor, buddy, I have to say that Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk was absolutely not the best movie of the year, least of all because it was released majorly in 2016. Solid list otherwise though. Did you see Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri yet?

>you can choose only one


what part of this you do not understand?

Shin Godzilla was 2016

don't feed the trolls

but honestly, why didn't he just change the channel? why go to that extreme?

My fellow patrician

No, not yet.

"Billy Lynn" is a post-ironic masterpiece about the subjectivity of personal experience and morality against the artificial political and dramaturgical constructs of postmodernist culture.

It is the most underrated movie of the year, and the best movie about the Iraqi war yet.

You can read my full review here:

(It is in Russian, but Google Translate works surprisingly okay here.)

I understood every part but I chose not to comply.

>"Hey instead of changing the channel I'm going to fuck this child"
>a heist/survival movie brought about by abject poverty/bad decisions/handicaps and shortcomings
>not a better and more focused story

I read the review, and we discussed this before. I'm just reiterating. Always a pleasure.

Because 1. He's a sleazebag. 2. He had a better chance of making her forget what she just saw by getting her rocks off than just changing the channel blatantly trying to hide something

Columbus is my MOTY.

so did it actually leak?

Oh Thor,
Oh Thor,
all these years later
and you're still
mumblecore.

It's available to rent on Amazon.

Not to be the Thor Internet Defense Force, but there is no mumblecore in his top 5 whatsoever. That is an absolute far cry from what he would have listed five years ago. His taste has evolved for the better IMHO.

...

"Columbus" is so affected and artificial it made me almost sick to my stomach when I watched it.

you asked for it

>Hong is not Korean mumblecore

I'm just havin fun. there's lots of mumblecore adjacent stuff there (Joanna Arnow, Kevin Phillips, Safdie, Swanberg, and Hang Sang-Soo is unofficial korean mumblecore)

I still don't know how he gets to see all that stuff. It's never released where I live.

the first hour is good. but the plot device of the coma guy stalls and it just sits there and wraps up with an unoriginal and Sundance-ready resolution.

The framing is nice though.

this man knows his shit

Well his movies tend to have a script do they not?

Good Time is not even mumblecore adjacent it's just a crime flick.

AMWF + Architecture kino

adjacent means it's by people related to the scene. not that it is mumblecore.

mumblecore wasn't really that hard defined around improvisation. It was coined from muddy sound mixing and was a broad catch-all that applied to a specific mode of American microbudget filmmaking.

What? He doesn't really write scripts and usually comes up with the scene concepts on the day of shooting, and just improvises with the actors from there.

Have you even seen his movies? They are so free-wheeling and formless, Duplass/Swanberg/Bujalski films are like Tennessee Williams plays in comparison.

>Have you even seen his movies?
just On the Beach At Night Alone and I think that movie has a very clear form, direction, and reason to exist unlike, say, Uncle Kent.

>I still don't know how he gets to see all that stuff.
Literally every movie from my list is available online.

not all of them on public trackers though.

You can request specific films from private trackers via special forum thread on Rutracker.

teach me russian reeeeeeeeee

bladerunner. havent seen many movies at all this year.

have really high hopes for billboards and sacred killing of deer

Three Billboards has great characters but the story is fairly retarded, particularly the end. Still worth watching for sure.

...

Where are my good Joes at?

Interlinked

The Shape of Water probably won't be good but god damn that trailer looks awesome every time I see it.
>You were speaking RUSSIAN, BOB!

>there's lots of mumblecore adjacent stuff there (Joanna Arnow, Kevin Phillips, Safdie, Swanberg, and Hang Sang-Soo

Tim Sutton, Mike Ott, and So-yong Kim are actual mumblecore directors too.

American Made
And I'm someone who's burnt out on le Escobar Taconigger content, but Cruise displayed new range and vulnerability almost Steve McQueen tier.

I also liked Shot Caller and Brawl in Prison Block 99 or w/e, but they're so similar. First year I can't name five good/great movies. Dead art form.

Dreadfully distinct

American Made was pretty good

Just finished watching this, it was dope.
Really well directed.

In no particular order.
The square, song to song, the other side of hope

...

>the other side of hope
this was so great. Kaurismaki hasn't made a bad film.

Song to Song was ass, coming from someone that loved Knight of Cups

so far Wind River 4/5

but i watched only 8 movies from 2017... and any oscar contended.

I thought the same thing, and I'm all about that Roon.

Personal Shopper

...

>t. disingenuous pederast

Would love to see Danny get a Soundtrack Oscar for dis

i agree

Anybody liked It Comes at Night? Thoughts?

It was okay for what it was
But the filmmaking is very barebones
