Nirvanna the movie something something, pretty boring. Doesn’t feel like a real film, sorry.

[chantilly @rivettian]

Spielberg comes from an era when cinema’s images were the zeitgeist, prime center of public psyche. He himself was the best to do it. A formula that doesn’t work anymore… the film feels archaic and flimsy, yet precisely in that anachronism/naivete lies the pathos. Quite moving.

[chantilly @rivettian]

Disclosure Day. The film rests on an almost antique faith that a handful of singular images can still summon the public into collective awe. In reality that awe would be dissolved at once into claims of AI, fakery, psyop, or conspiracy, an anxiety the film itself half-admits.

The heated outrage about Scorsese using AI while working on storyboards does really drive the point home about how Americans are vehemently against AI (this is a neutral statement), can't fathom that kind of resistance over here tbh

Oh, and the guy who did the production design for this is totally winning an Oscar.

[chantilly @rivettian]

I’m astounded by Backrooms, it’s actually quite good. Not ironically, not oh-what-a-promising-debut kinda way, just flat out good. Doesn’t over-explain or hammer out a stupid metaphor… one of the happiest surprises at the cinema I’ve had in recent memory.

Double feature of Mizoguchi's The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum and Peppermint Soda (1977) today. The latter is an absolute underseen gem.

Rewatched The Night of the Hunter, 35mm.
I had forgotten the sheer amount of critters in this film. And the shadows.

Rewatching The Blair Witch Project with my gf (it’s her first time), and I’m adamantly saying that the trio got lost for real lol

[Jake Landau (He/Him) 🇨🇦🇵🇸🇻🇪🇺🇦 @JakeLandauTO]

It's called globalism, pal, and it's a beautiful thing

[Corey Atad @CoreyAtad]

really says it all lmao

[narancia gaming @naranciagaming]

ironically, Orson Welles gave one of the best criticisms against easy to generate ai slop

[chantilly @rivettian]

How on earth is a 3-hour rambling drama gonna be well received at first glance, you really gotta digest it through

Plus Asako is Hamaguchi’s best, no doubt

the best movie trivia quiz is actually when your non-moviepilled coworker gives you a few vague statements about the movie they just watched and you noscope the title and lead actor and they act like you recited their social security number from memory

I initially thought this was an AI-rendered edit of Death Proof’s ending.

Apparently this is a real scene from a real TV show, huh

scenes from the gala restroom:

I realize this is the character flaw of every single person in the movie, but I genuinely believe if I was in charge, I could make a safe Jurassic Park

[chantilly @rivettian]

Hong’s new film, The Day She Arrives, is sublime

Gen Z prefers logging films on Letterboxd instead of having sex.

[chantilly @rivettian]

Rewatched Sherlock Jr. today, I had totally forgotten how ridiculous that pool scene is.
