So I just saw the revenant...it was good. but not sure if it lived up to my expectations...

Revenant is a good b movie, beautifully shot... but when it tries ruminating on human nature or whatever, i wasn't sold

hardy was good tho

what the f--- was that ending and why

Spoiler

does he have leo look directly at the camera lol. felt completely unearned (which sucks since ud think whatever they try to do after a 2.5 hour movie would feel earned at the very least)

..can u read this

Spoiler

backstory: narsh and i were probably 10 feet from one another at this screening. i called out to him and he ignored me

i also saw him go into a gay bar

These echo the reactions I've seen so far...kind of lukewarm given the hype

 

Dec 2, 2015

Yeah the journey didn't feel worth the investment.

The bear scene tho, SHEEESH

 

Dec 2, 2015

Lubezki's cinematography all I care about

@Narsh what's this I hear about

Spoiler

bear r---?

well then you'll love it. the action sequences had so much life in them due to his use of continuous shots (more restrained this time vs. birdman obviously lmao) and ability to track a gripping series of events. you were definitely watching this movie eager to go from one jaw-dropping shot/sequence to the next, rather than say the story itself or the acting.

Spoiler

lol why has that dumb s--- been all over my facbeook recently? no there was no bear r--- although the bear did grind up quite close to mr. dicaprio at certain points

Dogville is a hard 5/5. Lars von Trier is an absolute madman.

lemme know ur thoughts on manderlay

Having seen his Depression Trilogy, I'm definitely excited to catch up on this one. Given your thoughts on Korine, I'm really surprised you liked it tbh.

 

Dec 3, 2015

rly, i think there's a world of difference between von trier and korine as filmmakers.

i will say, i think dogville was one of the first r rated movies i saw in theaters so im oddly sentimental about it hah

 

Dec 3, 2015

They're equally polarizing and all of the broad criticisms you levied against Korine are ones I could see people putting to Trier, though I guess being European draws the right crowd to him. Both are quite exploitative and cruel.

 

Dec 3, 2015

no need to to repeat old arguments, but i think korine is a hack. i think the difference between him and a true auteur like von trier is the same one between for instance, pac and x number of faux pacs who dominated pop after his death. thats not an exact comparison but you get my point

 

Dec 3, 2015

How is Korine not an auteur? Lol

 

Dec 3, 2015

bc he's a hack miming better filmmakers..

 

Dec 3, 2015

Lol

no?

@Charlie Strangelove you just watched Gummo, I don't mean to insult you but... how do you know he's an auteur?
