movies

So many folks get so butt hurt over this. Just look at these awards and take them as recommendations. You don’t have to like any of these.

A bunch of rich, privileged assholes jerking each other off... Those of you that participate are just as out of touch.

I made through about 10 minutes of One Battle After Another.

I've never heard of Hamnet.

I've watched two movies all the way through recently, D(e)ad, and Our Man In Havana.

Our Man was entertaining, and beautifully shot in black & white. You just don't see movies like that anymore. So much attention to every detail in each frame. What happens in the background is not important to the story, but is so important to the rich feel of each shot. The shots are deep, watch on mute, and just marvel at how the city seems so alive and real. I suppose the old masters were still of the mindset they were competing with stage plays, and wanted to show what film had to offer that couldn't happen on a stage?

I dunno, I don't know anything about movies, I just know what I like.

If you won't watch B&W movies because "the world is in color", I'll take a quick stab at suggesting why you're wrong. In the same way that a constraining writing prompt brings out creativity in writing, the lack of color forces the photographer to paint with light, contrast, depth of focus, motion, etc. Color is just one tool in the artist's bag, and not even a very important one when it comes to telling a story.

One battle after another needed like, an hour cut out of it. Good movie but it had a lot of unnecessary things in it that bloated the time and took away from the impact.
