@puurpleflamingo This is a travesty

[Omri Curnutte @omstar12]

@puurpleflamingo @ticholasnurner Noooooo fucking way, that’s so metal!

[Omri Curnutte @omstar12]

I didn't love The Devil All the Time all that much except for Robert Pattinson yelling "DELUSIONS" so here's a bonus to sub in.

Four movies, one decade, one actor

[Omri Curnutte @omstar12]

It probably will be in English, but the headlines cause a discourse that ignores that the director is Timo Tjahjanto, an Indonesian director who’s a contemporary/collaborator with Gareth Evans and makes violent martial arts films that fucking rule. I’m down.

The hugely successful South Korean zombie thriller Train to Busan is getting a US remake! https://t.co/tpQmAcNfLy

@TheRealHarshman @snoringelbow @prince_petty_ Eh, I see stunt footage on Instagram all the time, sometimes it’s how I find out a movie is even being filmed. Yesterday, even, the director of Fast 9 put out an official video showing off behind the scenes of a stunt. It’s situation, I think.

[Omri Curnutte @omstar12]

Ocean’s Twelve. Everyone apparently thinks it’s the worst of the trilogy but it’s actually a masterpiece and I watched it 15 times last year.

PSN put up more avatars of Abby from The Last of Us 2 other than the pre-release one from two years ago challenge

I finally saw a Sundance film so I can finally do this!

Ben Wheatley’s IN THE EARTH is a mindboggling visual feast, economical in scope and scale. More about reconciling with our untethering from nature and bringing that into re-examination in a pandemic world.

@bobvids @MrGervaisWrites Too much horror media disallow themselves from being cathartic or healing, which is fine in some cases, but then you have to be careful what themes you tackle, because then the cynical doom and gloom becomes exploitative. Seems like the case with Bloober Team lately.

@BWDR Lancaster Dodd's arrival in The Master. Magnetic and instantly sums up what we will come to know about the man and his endeavors.

[Omri Curnutte @omstar12]

That tracks.

Jessie’s Girl in Boogie Nights

Big Tuesday night question: what’s your favorite pop music needle drop in movies?

Only one answer per person

[Omri Curnutte @omstar12]

Truth be told, Oscar season is the only time a lot of people even engage in non-english films. It’s hilarious that paying attention to more than just American films after 140 years of film history is looked at as a paradigm shift.

[Omri Curnutte @omstar12]

The actual article is specifically about films up for International Feature Film, but it’s still a strange take to say that Parasite is an outlier and most non-English films are message films and dramas. Parasite wasn’t that odd of a film.

[Omri Curnutte @omstar12]

I think this has more to do with a (unfortunate) general apathy toward non-english films. Parasite made people pay attention and now they think they just discovered something.
