Based on that one tweet, I've put together a ranked list of all the movies I've watched that could reasonably be considered to feature racing motorsports lol. I guess at least F1 makes the top ten.
1. Spielberg - Undeniable.
2. Coppola - The most inspired of the set.
3. Lucas - American Graffiti and being the mastermind of Indy makes him fire.
4. Scorsese - He's got his ups and downs imo but when he hits, out of the park. Hasn't hit in 15 years though.
huge gap
5. De Palma

...SHUT THE *FUCK UP* ABOUT THE ODYSSEY
I can't really take seriously anyone who treats the Criterion Collection as anything other than a pretty good boutique home video company, which is what it has always been
As the screenwriter of The Batman 2: Still The Batmanin', I can confidently spoil that Alfred dies in the first act from a heroin overdose. We did this to free his commitments.
I don't know, I don't think I'd want my picture associated with this story whether I'm the guy who commit suicide or the girl who had to witness it and then land a plane.
One could always point to Denzel Washington as Don Pedro in Much Ado About Nothing 3 years earlier if they want to stick it to racists about colorblind casting in Shakespeare movies, which still feels irrelevant to colorblind casting in Homeric epics (both non-issues).
I agree with the general point but goddamn Perrineau is not even the best performance in Luhrmann's movie, let alone one of the greatest performances in the history of the Shakespeare movies (which I don't think that movie has any candidates for and I like the movie).
One concrete reason I find the RW backlash against Nolan's casting so absurd is that Baz Luhrmann cast Harold Perrineau as Mercutio (a cross-dressing Mercutio, no less) 30 years ago, and Perrineau delivered one of the greatest performances in the history of Shakespearean movies.
It was plainly a brilliant casting choice, and if you didn't watch the film because you were offended by imaginary wokeness (back then, we called it political correctness), it was your loss. Until you see Nyong'o's performance, you are in no position to judge whether Nolan made a good decision in casting her.
@edgewalker81 SEE IT OR DONT WHO GIVES A FUCK. AT THIS POINT I JUST TAKE IT AS A MATTER OF COURSE THAT MOVIES MADE TODAY ARENT FOR ME. ITS CALLED BEING OLD. PEOPLE USED TO UNDERSTAND THIS
Some of y'all don't deserve Hugh Jackman if you don't appreciate Les Miserables, The Greatest Showman, and Song Sung Blue. Fella makes those movies much better than they were meant to be.
some so-called “late style”/“vulgar” appreciators will just praise any old auteur slop like it’s countercultural (Megalopolis, Costner’s rape westerns). do you have the ideological and aesthetic steadfastness to admit when Minions 3 is good? or the Markiplier movie? likely not.
if you had to watch every single film one of the following actors had been in, in release order, while not looking at your phone or doing anything else to divide your attention, and without watching any other films until you’re done… whose catalog are you picking?
(The two unwatchable movies are The Card Player which is so unremarkable and Do You Like Hitchcock? which is beneath its already low tv movie standards)
"Dario Argento hasn't made a good movie since 1987" is an understandable sentiment, even if I don't share it. "hasn't made anything watchable since 1987" is flatout perplexing. He has maybe only two unwatchable movies, otherwise even the dogshit is entertaining lol.
