I feel a lot like I’m watching a Jodorowsky film with all of the symbolism replaced with literal equivalents or a French film that wasn’t too stuck up it’s own arse. This is a very fine example of Hollywood Philosophy, because it stamps the message on your head and then dares to tell you it used the wrong stamp on purpose.

Infuriatingly enjoyable, transparently philosophical and Burt Lancaster tells middle aged Joan Rivers she has nice hair.

I found this without searching, just scrolling back through the thread and it so happens somebody else has seen it.

Ossman this is a shameful review. I hope you were just in a bad mood. This film does not venerate its protagonist, it creates a path of opportunity for him to remember his numerous massive indiscretions and debts. It is almost a psychological thriller in that you just keep watching things get worse until the realisation sets in and all is doomed. He is a bad guy who has no idea about it, it is a fucking masterpiece.

Renfield: 8/10

It's almost Warm Bodies without being a love story, mixed with Face/Off and Kill Bill with Nic Cage taking Macho Man levels of coke.

The Borderlands- 6/10

Mostly a below average found footage movie, but gets a couple extra points for a really great, and unexpected ending.

He's 'critical' of aspects of identity politics in TV and film ('the message'), but overall he is fair; I don't think he qualifies as a grifter.

While I use "grift" loosely, he's definitely catering to a certain segment. To suggest that he's unbiased and fair is baloney.

Here's a good example of why he attracts certain individuals. Why is it so difficult for people to understand that not everything is being marketed towards them...this show didn't "rock my world" but it has its place. Judging it based on the trailer alone is a stretch. This isn't smart or engaging. It was the popular thing to do at the time. He's merely a spoke in the giant grifter wheel.

He does sometimes base his videos on trailers rather than wait until the show/film has been released, though later on he usually does a follow up or covers things in his super chats and other vids. Actually, he just released a video based upon the early reviews of Indiana Jones 5, rather than wait until seeing it in the cinema. Therefore, in some regards, he does do some shows/films a disservice.

Even though he does attract the anti-woke people (I probably fall into that category), he seems more disappointed than anything else by how popular franchises/shows/etc have been damaged or downright ruined by lacklustre talent and poor creative choices, coming from a position of both a fan and an actual published writer, who knows (or should know) more about writing interesting characters and logical character development and compelling/smart storylines.

Which is why calling him "fair" is wrong.

Not every character deserves a strong and compelling backstory. As a pro-wrestling fan, you understand that R-Truth and Lesnar aren't equals. Doesn't mean they cannot coexist in the same space. They both bring different things to the table. I don't care for the women's tag division in WWE. But I understand that some young girl must be heavily invested in the division's storyline and related drama. Not everything is catered to us.

The Drinker is fn great. Maybe you don't agree with his style but he makes tons of logical sense.

I remember watching The Force Awakens and everything just felt off. A while later I found the Drinker and he pretty much summed it all up.

Critical Drinker is basically Seanny One Ball if he had a YouTube channel so I can understand why GD isn't a fan.

Nah. Nobody is interested in the women’s tag division.

The Critical Drinker is like most YouTube or pop culture personalities; he’s a caricature of himself. He’s worked out what works, what gets a reaction and views and doubled down on it.

Bastard, now I have to watch him to see if there’s any similarity.
Last time I got hammered I ended up watching Mary Poppins and singing along. Later there would be sadder films with more of an “ugly cry” vibe.

Miller's Crossing (1990) - 8/10

A hard film to rate. I really really enjoyed this but it does feel like its something *I* would enjoy more than *people* would enjoy. The Coen Brothers always write smart scripts and this one is definitely up there near the top of their pile, but maybe its too smart for its own good

The film spends the first act announcing its characters through well written dialogue but doesnt actually allow us to meet manyof the people until later. Or we meet a character once, memorably in all fairness, and that character returns not in personbut in prose later.

And thats kinda the issue if i dare to call it an issue. The film is demanding that you keep up and its probably a big ask for most viewers.

The scenes themselves are brilliantly performed and the dialogue wont let you down but following who are the players and what the throughline is could be tricky and on some level that has to be a mark against the script.

Now personally i really enjoyed watching all these planets orbit around one another and the climax was very very satisfying.

Another thing i enjoyed that i could easily call a negative is the film exists as a meta comedy against the genre of the ganster films of the 30s and 40s. Its never completely serious. The major beats of the script played straight could absolutely work but they play every scene very subtly as a mockery. And i really loved it. But i wonder if that this film is made for my sensibilities and if i recommended it to someone else howd they think about it.

My enjoyment was at minimum a 9/10. But i really wonder if this film is leaving a lot on the table. That if say Scorsese made this film instead if it would be an all time classic. I dunno. I really liked it though.

His take here is spot on. I dont watch his content though. Once youve heard a dozen of his takes you can suss out his opinions without sitting through his content.

That said grifter he is not. There's no con here. He just disagrees with your world view and is sick of being criticized for not falling in line. That isnt nefarious.

In this day age the most Punk Rock thing you can do is be a traditionalist. And thats all his videos really are. The punk spirit living on. "Dont tell me what to think society."

Fast X 6/10

The last FF movie I saw was probably number 6, plus the Shaw and Hobbs spin-off. Since FF6, they have ramped up the ridiculousness to 11.

Jason Momoa enjoys himself as the villain and is the best thing about the film.

Literally my 1st thought when i saw they were making a new one was "how do they top muscle cars in space?" Ive only ever seen 2 of those movies. The original and the 1st one with the rock. The original was an ok movie.

I have seen the first one, the third one and the fourth or fifth one. I think.

I have definitely seen 1&3, big chunks of 2 and either 4 or 5.

1 has the best song, three is the best shit.

I went and watched them all a few years back... I think after the 7th one came out...

I think there were some pretty decent ones in there... the first one with The Rock in particular....

Once they became "secret agents" or whatever it went "downhill" in terms of story and way uphill in terms of ridiculous action and extreme logic/physics breaking (was always logic/physics breaking but really got amped up)

I'll probably go see Fast X eventually...

Tokyo Drift is actually almost an entirely separate entity in that is is a good girl dressed in whore’s rags.
Lucas Black is my shit though. Sling Blade.
