Afraid to say The Lobster is a recycle bin klassik.

Jk but it didn't do much for me in comparison to his other films

 

Dec 5, 2016

The Lobster was great! Not currently on my list because I thought it was technically 2015, no? If not, it's prob top 3 for me atm tbh

I've debated whether my placement of The Lobster is too high, but then I remember the scene where Colin Farrell kicks a small child in the shin and I know I've rated it properly.

I go by US release date which is generally the convention for US critics in end of the year polls like Slant, Indiewire, and Film Comment.

I watched City on Fire last night. What a meme that whole "Reservoir Dogs is just a ripoff of it" turned out to be. Chow Yun-fat is my hero tbh.

I like Yorgos' first two movies a lot more. The Lobster kind of let me down. Felt a little too simple and straight forward for his brand of weird. Like once you get it, that's all there is to it.

Alps is underrated af

Did you just respond to a post of mine without going "lol" or "trash fam"?

Dogtooth is his best imo, but it became a cult hit so there's less of a reason to champion it now.

 

Dec 6, 2016

Your first good post.
Congrats fam

13 Hours is one of the few movies I've seen that actually lives up to the same "war is h---" cliche that practically every movie of its kind is built on. One of the character's says that he feels like he's in a horror film, because he pretty much is. Balfe's music layered over the attack on the consulate is terrifying, with the subsequent fall back on the annex not feeling dissimilar to survivors setting up a final stand in a zombie flick or something. Bay turns would-be gorgeous landscapes into foggy, war torn graveyards that eventually swallow these lavish, multi-million dollar buildings that America has built in the wake of it. Would be higher if it wasn't for some embarrassingly manipulative grasps for character sympathy leading up to the attack. You should give it a shot!

Something something pretentious?

Nice to see. Disturbing stuff, especially with what's going on with him and Huma lately.

 

Dec 6, 2016

The Neon Demon in my top 15 as of right now!

Refn still got it.

 

Dec 6, 2016

Pinhead interesting about 13 hrs.

Woof guys... Neon demon is this year's spring breakers except not nearly as fun
