2025 EOTY Entertainment Lists • Page 7

Fuck yeah it was. My film of the year

 

Should I start Afternoons of Solitude, The Mastermind or It Was Just an Accident

 

Afternoons of Solitude is the best.

 

Its also 2 hours of gore spliced with conversations on big balls

 

I finished all the movies from 2025 that I needed to see so this is my final, "official" list.

1. Afternoons of Solitude
2. It Was Just an Accident
3. The Secret Agent
4. Caught by the Tides
5. Grand Tour
6. One Battle After Another
7. Misericordia
8. Resurrection
9. The Mastermind
10. Blue Moon
11. Nouvelle Vague
12. Sirat
13. Viet and Nam
14. Marty Supreme
15. On Becoming a Guinea Fowl
16. Henry Fonda for President
17. If I Had Legs I'd Kick You
18. Cloud
19. The Shrouds
20. Weapons

Before I know certain people say it, Eddington was 21. It came down to the two of them and the memes for Weapons were better.

 

The poet cannot avert his eyes.

 

ive got my spicy member tickets for Secret Agent on Monday

 

The Linklater Breathless movie was that good?

 

It Was Just An Accident

 

Both Linklater movies moved up in estimation over the last few months, Sirat down a little. I am starting to get tired of the Mastermind because I keep getting the MUBI ad on YouTube.

 

Really enjoyed Blue Moon

 

This is pretty heavy, man. Another hour of it seems punishing but I will continue. I guess my main takeaway so far is how far the odds are favor of the matador. It’s a glorified wrestling match, with people stepping in at the first second of actual danger for him. At the same time, they spend those monotonous van rides hyping him and his huge balls up. At the same time….again… this is a life or death sport. He could be killed in a split second any time he enters the ring, the fear is definitely in his eyes. The death rattle of the bulls puts a lead ball in my stomach every time they show it.

 

I have a few I need to see from @Morrissey’s list above but I can go without Afternoons of Solitude. Want to also catch The Voice of Hind Rajab though I know it will break my heart

 

Ok the bull really fucked him up that time we got ourselves a film

 

nah its back to business and balls as usual

 

It's a commentary on our death drive. We sanitize death as much as possible but we rubberneck in every traffic accident. Bloodsport has existed for so long, even though we like to believe we have evolved.

 

This is good but it is absurd to me to consider it the best film of the year

 

Number six from Film Comment, four from Reverse Shot, thirteen from Slant. It is not Zootopia 2.

 

Lol this has more studio cards than any movie I’ve ever seen. If it were a parody I’d be like alright enough

 

Sure, it was not bad and it was well shot and I am going to think about it. There were just a lot of narrative features that I think offered much more

 

My reading was more on the absurd human desire to create meaning and ritual.

 

I’ve had some beers and can’t concentrate on the Panahi movie. I put on F1

 

We are all waiting for your list.

 

Let me finish the best pictures

 

It was that way with a lot of international films from last year. It also might have something to do with him smuggling the film out of the country to have it released.
