Well, you really only need one James Bond movie for reference, and then that's like saying you can't pick a sequel as the best movie in a franchise.

What's your favourite Captain America movie, it has to be the first one kinda deal.

Oh. That's cool. Didn't know it could be done.

Yeah great team up with Gene. Loved See no Evil, Hear no Evil and Silver Streak too.

son of a bitch, that's good

i thought it was called the BCU

Barry Lyndon- 1975, Kubrick’s period piece like none other, I think it’s the most beautiful film ever made. Ryan Oneal, Marisa Berenson, Schubert, Mozart, 18 century paintings, tragedy, humor. It’s spectacular, epic, poignant, superlative.

Paul Thomas Anderson

You get more and more out of them with each rewatch

Cal slapped her around a bit, yeah. But by 1910s standards, this would make him a gentleman, as most men would just outright punch women in the face back then

I was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed it a second time (with subtitles). I still don’t think it was a great film, but I feel it settles itself in as a solid blockbuster.

I’m thinking of ending things. If you do watch a 2nd time make sure to call a suicide hotline though since it’s fucking depressing.

That’s the subtext in both the scene where he first shows her the diamond and in the scene where he flips the table along with after Cal finding out he calls her a “slut” and his (jacks) “whore”.

Edit: it’s why the “draw me like one of your French girls” and the sex scenes pay off as well as they do. Her asking Jack to draw her and him doing so is explicitly tied to eroticism and ownership of herself. An ownership that she denied Cal throughout the film.

I was thinking the other day about...hear me out...Denis Villeneuve's 2001: A Space Odyssey, scored by Hans Zimmer. It would be a brave man to take on one of the all time greats, but after Dune I want nothing more than to see Denis' vision for it.

Actual was thinking last night if they did a remake of First Blood, watched it again about the 4 th time now. Maybe not one to to mess with but a sort of a modern spin, a bit of back story and more in homage to the original. Not sure who to get to play Rambo, even if they are not called Rambo.

Back when it was released, the scenario of an overcrowded, overpolluted world with food shortages was a cautionary tale. For us, it was 2020.

Becky 2:the Beckyoning

It wasn't Cal she was running from but her whole class structure (which Cal represented as her future).

Jack was used to push Rose's boundaries. He gave her a chance to explore the world outside her strict social obligations (that were crushing her dreams).

Rose wasn't in love with Jack. Rose was in love with the idea that Jack represented to her.

The ideas of freedom and self determination. It was the understanding that her life was her own. Rose was not going to sacrifice her soul for appearances and the expectations of her mother. She had no choice. Escape or die.

Disturbia fits this to some degree, and I second Blue Velvet as a great example of this genre.

Old Rose says that he put a pistol in his mouth "or so I read."

I think all the context we need for this is that Becky is back.
