Eating lomi and drinking pineapple juice!

@DanielGorman20 Spotify is more doable, ty 🙏

I completely understand this. Sometimes you have tracking shots with moral conviction, and sometimes you don't. It's really that simple!

[Auteur House @auteurhouse]

Martin Scorsese on if criticism ever illuminate anything for him about his own work:

"Sometimes. There are people who actually go through the work and find similar themes, I find that interesting. But critics who talk about “the tracking shots lack moral conviction,” things like that, I don’t know what they’re talking about. That sort of thing drives me crazy. Or “the medium shots lack humility.” That’s another one that get’s me. Who wants humility? Forget it. You’re not going to get it here."

@maxies_back I've gotten really into Refn recently too.

Seeing his works in person is sublime; a transcendent experience. Last time I was in the Rothko room at the Tate Modern in London, I just sat for two hours and fully immersed myself.

[Le Corbeau @fiorisartorial]

Mark Rothko, Untitled, 1968.

Hilarious especially given the absolute deluge of AI slop dramas people watch on their cell phones over there.

[Dexerto @Dexerto]

Chinese animated film Niu Lai has become the most profitable movie of all time

It was made for just $200 and grossed $4 million at the box office

[B. George @BWLGeorge]

I think contrasting the women of Mann's films (itself not an element without valid critique) with the women of major comic films (eugh) is a actually a good way to highlight how agency ("power") and screentime are rarely inherent indicators of complexity or interiority

@bashfoal Why is everyone such an insecure loser T_T

[Alexis Moon @AMoonWriter]

Please tell me people aren't actually saying this.

[riddlefoal 💚 @bashfoal]

i don't personally seek out short films but i'm not going to give people crap for logging them because it's "artificially boosting" their stats or something. it's not that serious lmfao

[Alexis Moon @AMoonWriter]

@LingoUnbound I never understand this attitude at all. If you enjoy it, articulate why. Articulate what's good about it. Don't just say, "it's bad but I like it." Clearly you liked something about it.

[Alexis Moon @AMoonWriter]

@trash_is_good tbc I do really love all of these, and also quite a few of the ones below the top 20 as well. I tend to eschew rankings but felt like doing one since people have been talking about him. :)

[Alexis Moon @AMoonWriter]

My objectively correct ranking of the top 20 Kurosawa films I totally didn't just make up right now on the spot.

[Alexis Moon @AMoonWriter]

@juandlago @cj_prin One of his best, even.

[Alexis Moon @AMoonWriter]

@chrisbalesucks and my Asian film private tracker doesn't have it either

[Alexis Moon @AMoonWriter]

@chrisbalesucks I found it on extranet but 0 seeders :(

[Alexis Moon @AMoonWriter]

Disabling notis for everything is honestly so good. This post got a lot of attention and I had no idea. I just see replies from my mutuals and it's great.

[Alexis Moon @AMoonWriter]

Life-affirming levels of contempt here <3

[Alexis Moon @AMoonWriter]

@chrisbalesucks I think I saw it in like 360p on Hulu. Not ideal but beggars can't be choosers. It's probably also up on some torrenting sites!

[Alexis Moon @AMoonWriter]

None of these are "bad," in fact they're all great, and I can articulate why. Lots of people are just wrong.

[Josh Stifter @joshstifter]

What's a "bad" movie that you absolutely LOVE?

Not necessarily a "guilty" pleasure. Don't love that term.

A movie with terrible reviews, questionable decisions, maybe some completely insane performances...
and you'll defend that bastard until the day you die. I want titles.

[Alexis Moon @AMoonWriter]

@selashiloni @mmcbr4phzm You losers keep repeating this same line ad nauseum because you have never had an original thought in your heads.

[Alexis Moon @AMoonWriter]

@selashiloni @mmcbr4phzm Yes, actually?
