@s_mayta @CarmanTse Sorry. I just couldn’t stand it.

[Mark @QuicksilverClay]

@dutyfreechamp @Notcertaim @latenightlevi There’s even that Fassbinder quote about how all filmmakers make the same film over and over again! Gus Van Sant really needs to get more love! People need to see “Paranoid Park”!

@wrexweed @thamosdeaf I love Bringing Out the Dead. Probably my favorite Scorsese. Always wondered whether that 180 deg camera tilt as the ambulance races down the street was inspired by a similar shot in Godard’s “A Married Woman”.

@dutyfreechamp @fromthereel I’ve only seen “The Seventh Seal” and that was a long time ago. But I do love Dreyer, especially “Day of Wrath”, “Vampyr”, and “Michael”.

We should call incels the unpussied like when we changed the name for the homeless

[Mark @QuicksilverClay]

@thamosdeaf Bringing Out the Dead is my own favorite.

@LFauexProd @AMCTheatres This takes me back to when my brother and I watched “That Most Important Thing: Love” with a bunch of elderly women at @QuadCinema .

[Mark @QuicksilverClay]

@dutyfreechamp @fromthereel I honestly think that Scenes from a Marriage is mid.

This is the bff of Platner’s primary accuser in the New York Times’ pathetic hit piece. Maybe we should not listen to these people? Just a thought

@pescayyyu @noahs_corner And FYI, I took "living" literally; I did not take it to mean "currently making films".

[Mark @QuicksilverClay]

@pescayyyu @noahs_corner Why are you so dismissive of the others? Loach, the Dardenne Bros., and Kore-eda are the greatest humanist filmmakers alive today. Wong and Tsai are also legendary. Let me also add Wenders, Schlondorff, von Trotta, Hansen-Love, and Malick.

[Mark @QuicksilverClay]

@TroyMP94 @tnyfrontrow Ehh, Focus Features is still indie, no? And it's just "Dark Waters", which ties into long-standing environmental interests from "Safe".

[Mark @QuicksilverClay]

@Rocco_Parondi The ending is amazing, especially the editing.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Former Israeli Ambassador to France Avi Pazner recalls witnessing a 1996 meeting where French President Jacques Chirac told Netanyahu to his face:

I don't believe a single word that comes out of your mouth. Your entire policy consists of provoking the Palestinians.

Pazner, who had attended hundreds of head-of-state meetings, says he had never seen anything like it:

Chirac turned completely red, Netanyahu turned completely white.

Netanyahu stayed silent, clenched his teeth, then kept explaining his policy.

Walking out, he let out a heavy sigh: "Ah, fortunately, that's over."

« Je ne crois pas un mot qui sort de votre bouche. Toute votre politique consiste à provoquer les Palestiniens.»
- Le temps des hommes d'État en France est loin.

[Mark @QuicksilverClay]

@CarmanTse “Scenes from a Marriage” is mid.

[Mark @QuicksilverClay]

@noahs_corner Ooh, also Brian De Palma, Francis Ford Coppola

[Mark @QuicksilverClay]

@noahs_corner Idk, you have Claire Denis, the Dardenne Bros., Ken Loach, Wong Kar-Wai, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Tsai, Kore-eda, that Turkish guy whose name I forget…
