Just finished watching Interstellar. I’m not sure why it took me so long to get to it, but I really liked it. Acting and story were great and the science aspect seemed pretty well thought out. (I’m no scientist…) It was, in parts, visually amazing. What movies really took your breath away visually? What are some of your favorite films strictly from a visual standpoint?

SPOILERS

I somehow never got around to watching this movie, and now I can’t function. There’s nothing more brutal or beautiful than the way Elio repeats, “Because I wanted you to know.”

I’ve learned that love isn’t supposed to make sense. It’s not always easy. Sometimes it’s butterflies and other times it’s an overbearing feeling of the weight of the world. The cast replicating the perfect depiction of what love feels like despite it being nearly impossible to replicate is impressive.

This film encapsulates the journey of falling in love so well. Is it all worth it? Are the short, beautiful memories of looking at the person you’re in love with worth the hours of agonizing pain when you’re not around them? Is the obsesssion normal? Is it all worth it in the end?

In the end when Mr. Perlman notices how sad Elio is, and tells him that what he had with Oliver was a truly special friendship, and eludes that he knows it was more than just that. He tells Elio not to cut himself off from his feelings to not feel grief because then you lose the ability to feel the kind of joy he felt with Oliver. He tells him about how he came close, but never had the kind of connection that they had. Mr. Perlman says,

“We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster, that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty. And have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to make yourself feel nothing so as not to feel anything? What a waste.”

The universal understanding for so many queer people with those heart shattering sentences. Those whose lives have been dictated and are unable to pursue their natural instincts. Their ability to love has been restricted, threatened. The decades of generations who have wasted their lives out of fear from our deeply rooted homophobic society.

With something like 110 feature films under his belt, Takashi Miike is the first that comes to mind for me. Even just in the “family” comedy genre , the range between happiness of the katikuris and visitor Q is astonishing. The former is actually close to family friendly (with the exception of one shot Iirc) and the latter is one of the most OTT-taboo-laden and shocking movies of all time —and both are hilarious. Of course he is most known for shock value and stylized violence, but the restraint and patience of the first 2/3 of Audition is unparalleled and truly makes the last act hit harder than anything I’ve ever seen. Taking the time to develop the characters and story makes all the difference, although much of the credit there belongs to the author of the novel, Ryu Murakami. Still, it is a really faithful and wonderful adaptation.

I’m not even sure of another director with as many films, let alone as much range. Looking over to the west, Scorsese comes to mind. There is a pretty chasm between Hugo and Casino. Lynch too (between the elephant man and, say, lost highway).

I love seeing artists broadening their horizons and flexing their skills by demonstrating versatility. I’d also love to hear any other examples you all may share, thank you :)

I'm writing this post without taking the comics, videogame, and theories into account.

An assumption is that the flamethrower still works.

At the end of the movie, Childs approaches McReady with his flamethrower. If Childs is a Thing, all he has to do is flame MacReady. That's it. Game Over.

A Childs-Thing doesn't have to worry about surviving a freeze. It will survive. Once MacReady is burned to a crisp, Childs-Thing has time to ready itself up for the rescuers. Before freezing, Childs-Thing can get rid of evidence or plant evidence or whatever. The rescuers can find a frozen Childs-Thing and assume it's a dead human.

If Childs is human, why did he walk out the compound earlier in the movie? MacReady told him that if Blair tries to get back without him, Nauls, and Garry to burn Blair. And that's what Childs says he saw, Blair outside by himself. He must have assumed Blair had killed the other three, and that's why he went out the compound, to burn Blair.

Yep, we know the ending was filmed so that we really wouldn't know, but I can't get over Childs not torching McReady. When Childs approaches MacReady, he's got the flamethrower pointed at him. Why keep him alive?

The flamethrower doesn't seem to be "on", but I don't think it would take too long to turn it on. This is something a Childs-Thing could have done before approaching MacReady.

Typical disney, poor plot, poor execution, re-use old plot. Disney cares little for screaming continuity / reality errors. Surprised ridley scott had his name on this steaming pile of unsympathetic excreter, maybe he is too old or just doing a nicolas cage / bruce willis. Disney = Boeing, chasing share price at any cost. Don't waste your time.

These are going to be very random details but it’s all I can remember. When I was little (in the early 2000s) I remember briefly watching a few scenes of a horror movie on the tv before my parents changed the channel. Now that I am older I am a horror movie junkie but have never been able to figure out what movie it was that I saw all those years ago. The scenes I remember are as follows: an old woman is in some sort of accident/incident, and an ambulance picks her up. I believe that they pronounced her DOA and so they were driving her in the ambulance to the hospital morgue. Along the drive, the woman sticks her hand out and grabs one of the ENTs and begins to attack him. She then attacks all of the ENTs, killing them. While this is happening, a little girl and her parents hear the ambulance sirens and the parents tell the little girl it’s time for bed. The little girl goes to bed and while she is saying her nightly prayers, lightning flashes and you can see the old woman’s figure looking into the girls window. That’s all I remember but I’m dying to know what movie it was. If anyone recalls anything similar to this, please drop the name! Thanks!

I like to watch horror movies and there is a trope that is really starting to irk me. It seems in nearly every one of them there is someone or someones who are told to do a simple and straightforward thing. Eg: "Get into the car" when there is something obviously dangerous coming towards them or "Stay inside and don't leave" because there is a danger outside. Then the character(s) IMMEDIATELY ignore the directive and get other people killed or injured.... Why do they make the characters so freaking dense?

He is about the only actor with a visual semblance and disposition to Clint Eastwood and I believe he has taken him as an inspiration in certain roles.

It's frustrating to see an actors potential for a role but not seeing it come to fruition.

There are several Dirty Harry books that would make good gritty movies and Hugh Jackman feels like the man to do it.

Like how Patrick Stewart falls into Professor Xaviar so easily.

Some actors are clearly molded to play a specific type of role.

Both "Birth of A Nation" and "Dirty Harry" were highly controversial films when they came. Both are even more controversial now. But not soon after each of those films came out, the filmmakers sought to deflect some of the criticism by making a follow-up film to "clarify", if not totally dismiss, the message and narrative of the preceding film.

What other films do you know of that seem like a filmmaker or studio sought to quell the controversy of a preceding film? The only case I can immediately think of is "The Last Jedi/Rise of Skywalker". But I'm more interested in cases of social subject matter controversy, rather than plot controversy.

Are Rezvan and Sadaf meant to have an implied lesbian relationship? Their close bond and emotionally charged moments throughout the story hint at feelings that may extend beyond friendship, though the film never explicitly confirms this. The deliberate ambiguity adds depth, allowing audiences to interpret their connection in various ways.

Which titular character that actually appears in the movie has the least prominent overall role?

To qualify, the character must be a particular individual who can be uniquely identified by the movie's title AND must make at least one physical appearance on screen. Imaginary or metaphorical entities don't count.

The prominence of the role could be judged as a function of screen time, plot relevance or interpreted more loosely by how important they are to the theme or message.

I’m debating whether to go see Babygirl in theaters with my boyfriend or just wait for it to come out on a streaming platform to watch at home. I’m wondering if it might be an uncomfortable experience watching it in theaters together, or if the audience tends to lean more female, which might make it awkward for him. For those who’ve seen it, is it worth the theater experience, or should I wait and watch it at home?

Hey so I barely watch any movies, but I just watched Kill Bill Volume 1 for the first time with my family. It was the most badass movie I've ever seen, but there were a few weird things. The weirdest part was when the main character was trying to wiggle her toes and it was just a shot of her feet for 5 minutes. Also it seems like the camera showed every single actresses' feet in the movie at LEAST once.

So the feet thing was kinda weird but other than that I think this movie is a must see. It's really badass

First off Danny's parents. The dad, you leave your kid for a 25 year old when you seem much older and miss Christmas. His mom was better but missing Christmas just to hold someone's hand but maybe she was actually getting her better but I think she was there to show the reality of how some people work too much. Then the big group of parents. First you leave a 12 y/o to watch 5 kids by yourself during Christmas and a blizzard? You don't even think to check the weather to see if you can make it back??? Sam and charlottes parents didn't have much as a problem with but a lot of other people did. Any other thoughts?

The Blu-rays I am having audio issues with are:

The Godfather Part II (German individual Blu-ray Disc, not part of a collection set)

The Green Mile (German Blu-ray Disc)

Schindler´s List (German 4k remastered Blu-ray Disc)

Gandhi (French Blu-ray Disc)

All editions were bought brand new about half or a year ago. There are no scratches, fingerprints or similar stuff on the discs. My Sony Blu-ray player (SONY BDP-S1700, region b) is constantly in use (at least one movie or episode a day) and I have had no problems over the past two years, since I have bought my player or other technical equipment (headphones, HDMI-cable, etc.) in brand new condition. The issue only occurred with the above mentioned movies that are almost or over three hours long. Other movies, that are shorter or only quite a bit shorter like the German standard Blu-ray release for "Saving Private Ryan" played fine. I also watched the German edition of "Avatar: The Way Of Water" on Blu-ray and had no issues of any kind.

The four discs play fine until I would reach the last 10-15 minute or so. Then, suddenly, the audio is missing. No skipping , just entirely gone for the rest of the movie. If I pause the movie, rewind it a a few seconds or minutes and start playing again, it works fine.

Someone suggested it might be a player glitch. But the latest firmware update did not work. Do you have any other suggestions?

Hi, a friend of mine is really into all the super hero world. I couldn't help but notice but a lot of characters are green and that made me wonder how a movie with all of them would be like. Yoda, hulk, green lantern, godzilla, gamora you name it. How would the story go? Who's the villain? Are they working together or fighting each other? Would it be a comedy, an action-packed epic, or a bizarre green-tinged drama?

I really enjoyed the movie but I couldn't help but giggle and self reflect at how much Hugh Grants character reminded me of myself with all his little factoids and logic games. I am an ENTJ (debater) and have been told by people that i am an annoying mansplainer. I have mostly ignored it and kept with my ways but after seeing this guy mansplain religon up close and in reddit know it all style, i have sort of got the ick with how i "educate" people. His display was pure cringe and all i could see during him presenting his argument was a reflection of myself dodging questions and finding different angles to refute points. In the end his arguments and his point were totally meaningless. A hollow shell lacking substance. There was no grand "AHA!" or cool thing in the depths of the basement. Just a guy who was obsessed with being right by any means necessary. He was just justifying his sickness because he always has to be right and have the upper hand. He is just an example of a mainsplainer that took it too far which is scary to see how far it can go. Great movie and has caused me to reflect quite a bit. Do you think the writers intent was to create an annoying know it all type of guy? Am i wrong for distilling the whole of the movie to just an overdose of Mansplaining?

BTW: Mansplaining is short for "man explaining" basically where a man explains things to women because he thinks that they wont understand due to having lower intelligence than himself.

Chief getting his leg broken as they were chasing after Tod and it's Tod's fault? It got silly when Copper acted as if Chief was killed and it turned into the ultimate revenge. Chief was even faking pain so he could get spoiled and Amos Slade told the elderly dog to quit it. Even for a Children's film, it came off as Dexter's dad wanting revenge on Dee Dee "dying" during the car race on Dexter's Laboratory.

Truth be told, "The Fox and the Hound" isn't a very good Animated Disney film, it's from the less prestigious phase. The friendship was contrived and the relationship between Widow Tweed and Tod was far more affecting. The most memorable scene in the film is when the Widow leaves Tod in the Forest ("Goodbye May Seem Forever"). Jeanette Nolan was a marvelous voice actress and I wish the film had been about the bond between the Fox and his owner, the Widow, instead.
