The Phoolosopher
Deep fake came to mind when I posted last night, seems like someone's already been there and done that... and Clue does look much more convincing!
Great movie, fan of Snyder, not everyones cuppa but big faves of mine long version of Watchmen and Sucker Punch. Similar style to 300 there’s the Sin City films.I just watched 300 (2007) on blu ray there and holy shit, what a film! I've seen it before, years and years ago, but more than ever, I could really appreciate how stylised the sound and visuals are, which made Gerard Butler in particular extremely convincing. I mean, when he says "THIS IS SPARTA" (probably the best three-word scene ever) you really get a visceral urge to kick that emissary into the abyss yourself! The violence - and blood - is obviously extremely gratuitous but, like a good Tarantino film, it works all the better for it. Recommended!
Anyone see "The Maltese Falcon"? I saw it when I was about 20 and could not make head or tail of the plot. But I always assumed I was under the influence of something at the time. Then I saw it again two nights ago, and still did not understand the plot. Assumed it might be senility. So I went on Wikipedia and read the plot. Still did not make any sense. Then found innumerable websites, blogs, in which people complain that they cannot understand the plot. And yet it is considered one of the great masterpieces of cinema history. Anyone here understand the plot?
It was really poor. Adam Driver seemed to understand there was a better movie in there somewhere. I felt the same about Gaga in A Star is Born. Bradley Cooper was the real revelation in that. Shame it wasn’t recognised.I watched Gucci at the weekend Lady Gaga is sh ite as an actor she ruined the film with her ham acting, Adam Driver is very good though but the film isn't really worth watching as it's all just padding, nice padding, but two hours to tell you about what happened to him by his mental wife and her crazy guru tarot reading maniac mate.
Load of pish actually.
"She got the pool boy, I got the pool".I just watched Mulholland Drive there on blu ray, a damn good film that gets better every time I see it. I mean, I'm now thinking it's one of the best films ever made and with it, David Lynch has secured his place in the pantheon of great directors for sure. I reckon people will be admiring and studying this film for centuries to come (assuming we've got that long left on the planet). Heck, even the title shot on the main menu is incredibly captivating. Obviously, and frankly recommended!
Here's a great short video essay on how Lynch works some of his magic:
