I kind of like Big Fish to be honest (as sappy as it is), that and Sweeney Todd are the only Tim Burton films I have any time for since the 90s ended.

Have just seen this… excellent adaptation of one of my all time favorite novels.
Charlie Plummer is absolutely wonderful in this, far lesser performances have won oscars.
Will have a Richmond Fontaine binge tomorrow.

watched Blue Collar (1978) last night. was pretty amazing, strong performances all round but the scene with Pryor and Keitel on the porch near the end… Pryor is absolutely amazing. pretty brutal ending too.

Schrader’s new film First Reformed is meant to be his best film in ages

if ewan mcgregor is in it, odds are it’s shite

yeah this is what made me go back and have a look at his stuff i haven’t seen - i remember when he was roped in to that godawful BEE film with Lindsay Lohan a few years ago (haven’t seen it but it is on Netflix) and assumed he’d gone to the dogs these days but the reviews have been surprisingly positive

#159

Yeah looking at his filmography feels like the last time he made anything decent was in the 90s.

just finished Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quais du Commerce 1080 Bruxelles.

oof

hereditary was okay.

took far too long to get going. the freaky stuff only started in the last third. would have liked more. gabriel byrne has nothing to do the entire film.

#162

Pretty much this. The last 20 minutes or so were enjoyably batshit, but it took way too long to get there. It also made me think that The Witch did the whole ‘watch a family falling apart’ thing better, they even have similar final scenes, as the surviving family member hooks up with a bunch of crazies

On a side note, how is Alex Wolff supposed to be the son of Toni Colette and Gabriel Bryne?!

#164

Agreed that Bryne was completely wasted. I enjoyed the film but the horror was way more camp that I was lead to believe and didn’t find much of it very scary Until the end which really creeped me out

think as well it’s one of those films where my expectations were far too high. if i’d seen it not knowing anything about it i probably would have enjoyed it a lot more.
