Last Movie You Saw, Name & Review Movie • Page 69

Marie Antoinette is great. One of the more misunderstood films of recent history.

 

Nocturnal Animals had some great performances but that's really the only nice thing I have to say about it. It was so petty and cruel that I didn't enjoy it.

 

Did someone in here say The Lobster is sad? I don't feel like being sad atm. But it looks funny and interesting.

 

It is sad that Lanthimos' talents have deluded so much. It is a comedy, though.

 

I'm late but I finally saw Boyhood and oh my god what an outstanding film both in procedure and in substance. Watching the characters grow with the actors is fascinating.

 

It is a really special film. I am surprised you waited so long.

 

I wanted to like Come And Find Me because Aaron Paul but it mostly sucked.

 

Logan : 8/10
King Kong : 6.5/10

Can't wait to see Power Rangers on Friday..

 

Get Out : 9/10

 

excuse me? if u gonna shit talk Dogtooth we're gonna have a problem

 

Just watched Breathless, first Godard I've seen. Would it be at all apt to compare it to Pulp Fiction? Because stylistically it very much reminded me of it.

 

Re-watched se7en and zodiac this weekend. Thought he did it better in the latter

 

Dogtooth is very good.

 

Probably a fair comparison since QT named his old production company after another Godard film.

 

Yeah Zodiac is a much better movie, it better showcases Fincher's meticulous filmmaking, style, and ambiguity imo

 

Have never seen Zodiac, and I friggin' own it. Need to get on that.

 

Zodiac is my favorite Fincher movie that I've seen. I own Se7en and I've never seen it.

 

most days, I feel like Zodiac is his best film

 

I would say it undeniably is.

 

I was very bored when I first watched Zodiac but that was like 10 years ago now and I don't think I was paying that much attention so I want to rewatch it.

 

lots of people (even around here) prefer The Social Network. it's a fine film, but I have always preferred Zodiac.

 

Zodiac feels more Fincher-y (and therefore may be "objectively" better), but I think I still like The Social Network more.

 

For some reason Zodiac doesn't seem to click with me like it does for most people. It's a very good movie, but for me it falls short of the near-perfection that is his Social Network-Dragon Tattoo-Gone Girl string of films. Stylistically I think Zodiac is lacking something that his recent films have, though I'm not quite sure what that is. Ross & Reznor's score, perhaps?

 

Dragon Tattoo and Gone Girl are excellently made, but also don't have any recognizable humanity in them, which is why TSN towers over them for me. Zukerberg is a dick, but you feel like there's a human reason behind the way he acts. You sympathize a little even as you want to punch him.

 

there's a nice little narrative about privilege and American academia/fraternity in The Social Network too.

Tattoo felt OK but insignificant. GG felt beyond silly.
