BRAP
rooney is that you!?
Bruce puzzles me. He has such potential for greatness, yet he chooses to spoil it
pick ONE (1) 30s film.
my pc/hdd broke ;___;
welcome to the club
slept never had potential
hating Foolish Wives is foolish
It is a huge case of intolerance to hate Intolerance
Foolish wives was so bad. Murnau did it better.
Intolerance was so bad. Tarkovsky did it better
If you are about to get married to a woman and you hate Stroheim you are a Blind Husband
It was one exciting night as we got to see One Exciting Night
Blind Husbands was so bad. Murnau did it better
thanks for letting me sit at the cool kids table, I really appreciate it guys
One Exciting Night was so bad. Varda did it better
Megaautist was so mad at her husband not liking Griffith & Stroheim she grabbed a baseball bat and started Remodeling Her Husband
I am not a girl.
WHY WONT YOU BE MY FRIEND!!
What should I watch tonight
SEX AND THE SINGLE GIRL!!!!!!!!
To megaautist, D.W. Griffith is The Greatest Thing in Life
YAY!!!!!!!!!
sounds degenerate :/
If you don't rate, your profile is useless and not worth visiting itt
What a dish, what a dream, what a dame.
wahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOT GENES
i don't remember anything truly degenerate in Sex and the Single Girl even though it was in the 60s
What's the greatest film of all time?
i'm a christian so I can't watch a movie with sex in the title
i'm really sorry :/
>can't watch a movie with sex in the title

Vertigo
not even top 5 hitchcuck
sorry :/
Oops!
did anyone use the dolly zoom before vertigo
>Citizen Kane
Oops!
haha that journalist was called ‘gay’
>manual zoom on an axis
You act like that's an invention. It's something you do in a moving car using the zoom function on your phone. It's an accident.
9TH POSTER!
sometimes the best art comes from accidents
did anyone DELIBERATELY use the dolly zoom before vertigo
> Should you watch films for entertainment?
sure why not?
You'd have to look at the history of zoomar lenses since the 40's!
Better than any hackneyed overused distorted technique!
OH BOY! HITCHCOCKS SURE LOVED THAT "TECHNIQUE"! HE LOVED IT SO MUCH HE USED IT 50 TIMES THROUGHOUT THE FLICK AND CALLED IT THAT!!!!!!!!!

Watching films for entertainment is the height of peasantry. Films are made to be studied, to broaden the horizon of the viewer, to help the audience understand the visual medium as an art form, an understanding they otherwise couldn't reach with mere words
WHAT IF GRIFFITH CALLED INTOLERANCE CROSSCUTS IN TIME!!!!???????????
Louisiana Story: Man dies watching Louisiana Story
>visual medium as an art form
ummm sweetie how is a reproductive medium art
tfw no one at my uni cares about griffith, flahery, stroheim early murnau and emily jean
I notice Bruce saw Sex and the Single Girl. But he only gave it 3 stars
>being at uni
Cecil B. DeMelle
>The Brown Bunny 5
>Winter Light 2
I admit I'm triggered, never knew such shit taste could exist.
only retards care about acting in film
>Burpman
The irony is that YOU have shit taste
...
you're a retard
"I never felt I was an artist. I didn’t wake up one morning and think, ‘Well, I’m an artist, so I will go and make this industrial film in this manner.’ I was ambitious and I liked…At first I was in awe of actors, and then I came to love actors, I came to sort of understand how really courageous they are. They’re the ones that stand up there naked. It’s not me. It really is an actor’s medium. We talk about the writers and the directors, but it’s not really correct."
-Robert Altman
what's so special about robert altman
haven't seen his films, just seems like a typical director
...
sounds like a retard, actors aren't courageous they are vain narcissists. they are stupid puppets.
>DUDE GOD IS SILENT LOL
It just gets boring
>what's so special about robert altman
nothing.
If you believe actors have any value you're probably an aspiring actor, the only responsibility actors have is putting out an acceptable performance and having the integrity to not do trash flicks.
>God is silent
He's not. He has already spoken. The Birth is the testament of God, history written by lightning, the shifting of tectonic plates. Ignorance is the first step to self-destruction.
Wrong list.
wow, after seeing this i am now convinced that ozu is the best dorector
actors are just clay for the director to shape, they are nothing, empty.
Looks like you fuckers were too ugly even for Weinstein!
so you are an aspiring actor? tsk tsk
>Directors
Who gives a fuck what nolan and tarantula think
You must really hate Griffith if everyone who considers him an influence is bad on principle.
>directors
Now THERE'S A USELESS LOT
t. useless actor

brainlet still doesn't know what performance is
was megaautist alive during this event
then enlighten us
>aspire
When you're genetically inclined, you're naturally superior
So to follow in Griffith's steps, have you developed your "pretending to be a drunk black man" act?
...
when you worship the false nature of actors, you're genetically inferior.
Easily the most pathetic moment in music history.
>wah, our music isn't popular anymore, I'm a litteral fucking baby who didn't know things become less popular
>wah, our shitty rock stars who ripped off blues were forced to rip of funk and that's funk's fault
>better start ransacking stores and burning records
The only superperformances that can incontrovertibly be considered the sole contribution of one woman is _____ ____
the difference in quality of a film between having passable actors and so called "great" actors (no such thing) is almost minimal.
Reminder:
Behind the scenes, among themselves, the miniature movie colony even dared to gossip about the God of Hollywood - Griffith's obsession, on screen and off, with young, female children. And were those Griffith discoveries, those devoted, hard-working child-women, really all that virginal? Was it possible? And, thinking the unthinkable, was Lillian Gish Dorothy's lover?
