The visual texture of gore in this film makes it one of his most visceral. Kill Bill may have more blood, but in Django the splashes of blood feel hot and fleshy in a way that’s oddly satisfying.
1. it’s crazy Scorsese delivered like one of the most cinematic moments in his career like 3 minutes into this movie
2. i’m genuinely curious how they got the shimmering effect on the oil bubbling
Beautiful movie. Worst audience ever. Laughing and chuckling at every emotional beat. If a man weighing the value of his own life is so fucking funny to you, don’t go to movies!
I always found it funny that Denis kinda got this reputation considering more than half the man’s films don’t even have Deakins as the cinematographer lol.
The Killer is coming to theatres this weekend and there’s like no hype for it, and Netflix doesn’t seem to be doing any marketing for it. The idea of a David Fincher film going under the radar just really kills me.
So you wanna make a “Year End” movie list? Some tips:
1.) Haven’t seen EVERY movie released that year? It’s not a “best of” list, it’s your favorites
2.) Don’t post your own movies. It’s tacky
3.) “Worst of” lists aren’t helpful criticism. Don’t do them. Lift up movies instead
Barry Keoghan improvised the grave scene in Saltburn:
“I just wanted to explore and grow with the character. I asked for a closed set. I said I want to try something. I just wanted to see what I’d do as Oliver.”
If the Social Network was made in the past few years and was directed by someone else, they probably would’ve used this clip and it would’ve been corny as shit.
Nothing against Zone of Interest, but I don’t know about that. The impression I always got from Kubrick was that he held himself to a higher standard than everyone else, when he did talk about the films he admired he never sounded that picky.
There are very, very few new movies in the last 20+ years I think Stanley Kubrick would've been impressed by. Had he lived long enough to see it, I genuinely believe Kubrick would've been impressed by - and maybe even jealous of - The Zone of Interest.
"I Saw the TV Glow" director Jane Schoenbrun tells us how watching David Lynch's series was “the most cathartic & rich experience of watching media that I've had in my adult life," so it's only fitting "The Return" would end up in their new film in spirit:
Cool cinematography, but one of those films that’s a genuinely unwatchable experience. Bad pacing, no characterization that warrants investment, just awful all around.
Sydney Sweeney auditioned for horror film ‘IMMACULATE’ in 2014, but the project never materialised.
Years later, she took on the role of a producer and reached out to the writer, acquired and revised the script, hired a director, found financiers, and sold the film to Neon.
First clip for ‘THE SURFER’, a new psychological thriller starring Nicolas Cage.
The film follows an Australian ex-pat who buys his family’s beach home but must go to war with a group of surfers who claim the beach for their own.
David Fincher says he hasn’t seen ‘FIGHT CLUB’ in 20 years “and I don’t want to.”
“It's like looking at your grade school pictures, or something. ‘Yeah, I was there.’”

Denis Villeneuve says he won’t ever release any deleted scenes for both ‘DUNE’ films.
“I’m a strong believer that when it’s not in the movie, it’s dead. I kill darlings, and it’s painful for me.”

Jonathan Eusebio (‘John Wick’ fight coordinator) will make his directorial debut.
Ridley Scott on historians having criticisms about ‘NAPOLEON’.

Tony Gilroy reveals that George Lucas told him that he loved ‘ROGUE ONE’.
“I had a 45-minute conversation with him after he saw Rogue… He loved it. He really did. He had a lot of things to say that I... It was like a call from the president.”

"My hope is someone will see this film and get very nervous about the person in line behind them at Home Depot"
This is who he hopes his films will convince ppl to see as their enemy.
This distorted worldview is propagated in many of his films & his confused take on the strike.
Millie Bobby Brown says she doesn’t watch movies:
“I don’t watch movies. People come up to me and say, ‘You should definitely watch this movie, it would change your life,’ and I’m like, ‘How long do I have to sit there for?’ Because my brain and I don’t even like sitting for my
@JedKingly
when people are frustrated with someone humanizing a terrible person, it always comes off as weirdly anti art to me, as long as the writer isn’t obfuscating or glorifying, to humanize is to just be honest

The Last Jedi wasn't—and I am absolutely serious about this—a movie.
It was systematic abuse of the audience.
It was meant to be PUNISHMENT for watching Star Wars, for liking Star Wars, for wanting heroes to be heroic, and stories to make sense.
It was an anti-movie.

This sort of bad faith argument is exactly how conservatives defend cops from any criticism “oh I just hope nothing bad ever happens to your loved ones.” They’ll use any sort of hypothetical to justify their extremism.
Stuff like this, paired with other angular camera direction (the phone scene where the camera simply slides away out of embarrassment, the pan across the politician where the upper half of his face is intentionally cut off) elevate the already incredible script.
This is a prime example of a director choosing a specific camera move to elicit an emotional affect on the audience.
Scorsese could have tilted the camera up to reveal Travis Bickle's transformation but he Booms the Camera Up.
It's a stronger, rigid and exacting camera move.
@SolidusJJ
yeah i would agree historian’s mistakes were more minor (i mainly dislike him for most of his content based around depicting 4chan as like bad ass epic trolls) but i wouldn’t agree he had meaner stuff to say, i mean he made out Somerton a misogynist and exploiter (bc he was lol)

in the world where it drastically underperformed in theaters, i’m pretty sure Robert himself has talked about how Nosferatu is only happening because of how it performed on VoD
