  • Death Sentence is awesome and doesn't deserve it's 20% rotten tomatoes score

  • Ahh the movie I wanted to watch but couldn't because it's only on Max

  • No, some obscure random page just uploaded the full movie and it only got 120 reacts!

    It seemed like the restored version too because the sound was pretty good. Can't say much about the video quality though, Facebook listed only two 480p and 360p

    I watched Jean-Luc Godard's Masculin Féminin on Facebook

    It is a tender and intimate look at the lives of young people in the 60s in Paris. The film follows two characters, male and female as they navigate love and the changing, ever turbulent landscape of life. The film explores the two of them through 15 interconnected but separate parts and every part has a monologue or introductory text on screen. These don't often talk about the film but also outside of it as well, most of them are for us the audience even when they relate to the plot.

    The film is a drama about youth and their struggles to live and react and adjust in a world that is uncertain and cruel and things that are happening in such a wide scale that we have no control over them. It feels like a glimpse into that era, as if we're seeing how people must have lived, thought, loved and died in that time. This is pronounced more through the use of shots of people wandering in the streets going to and fro in between the 15 parts.The themes that are talked about here resemble the one

  • Okay i see what you mea, i honestly don't know if i find it memorable right now or not. Stuff moves really fast when you're watching a movie a day but I really liked it

  • I just watched it yesterday, pretty entertaining for the most part. It's long but except for the Tobey Maguire whole hell scene, nothing bothered me to the point of meh

    That's some real shit on camera - Babylon review

    Babylon is one of the most mediocre moments I have ever felt watching a movie. And yet I would have loved to experience it in the cinemas. I would have liked to know how so many people reacted to the sheer chaos on the screen. I would have liked to see how many got teary eyed like me in the finale. I would have loved to talk to people afterwards to see if they were willing to share more about what they thought about the early days of cinema.

    I didn't think Damien Chazzelle could create an informative and telling tale about the early cinema that was R rated and ran for 3 hours long and had a stupendously roaring loud screenplay to go with it but that's exactly what he did with Babylon.

    Margot Robbie plays a triumphant Harley Quinn-like character who never stops ****ING up things in her life, Diego Calva in the first movie I have ever seen him in, stands out as a capable leading man who's entertaining to watch and Brad Pitt plays a established Hollywood star who's ready to be replaced

  • Ahh a redemption attempt in his box office abilities. I'm gladly it did as well as it did! He clearly put a lot of work in creating this world from the novel

    Never read the book oops - Dune review

    "Desert power."

    Dune review

    Fair warning, this is a rewatch. When I first watched the movie with a friend, I thought of it as a beautiful, visually immersive experience that I felt would be much better experienced If i knew more about the book. And that was sadly, all I thought about it at that moment.

    Whenever a movie starts with a Part One in it's title, I get a hesitation. And Dune's only covering one half of the FIRST book. This was going to be slow, this was going to have a lot of filler, this was going to have information and scenes that are not at any point integral to the main story and it won't be very pretty because they would save most of the budget for the second film. These were my initial thoughts when I set down to watch it again, having long forgotten most of the plot of the movie from before.

    Dune was nothing like that. Dune is probably the best science-fiction movie I have seen this year. It is beautiful first of all, the movie somehow manages to balance shots of

    Do I deserve love knowing I am what I am? - Bones & All review

    "The world of love had no place for monsters in it."

    Bones & All review

    This is the second Luca Guadagnino movie I have seen and I watched it right after Challengers. I enjoyed Bones & All more.

    It feels romantic to me because it also

    Tennis as the arena - Challengers review

    "Court violation, audible obscenity"

    Challengers Review

    It's beautiful, bold, colorful, it makes you hate it's characters and understand them at the same time and it has some really hard soundtrack that plays whenever things get heated between characters. Challengers for me, feels a little too long, a bit too over indulgent, and sometimes out of place and time but somehow the movie manages to make you feel like it's 2h 15m runtime is justified. It starts at present and then jumps back to the past and then present, sort of going back-and-forth but everytime the distance becomes reduced until it reaches the final scene.

    By that point, you know every motivation, every glance, every movement of the camera and it all speaks so much about the characters and how they feel in that moment.

    This is also a lot more about tennis then i imagined. Just amazes me to see these actors being so comfortable and awesome with a racket in their hands, serving and playing tennis often in one-shot sequenc

  • I did get a "it was all a dream" feeling out of this so ig you're not wrong. The giant spider was a step in the right direction but we could have used more surrealist images

  • I understand the sentiment. I have lot of thoughts about whether this movie is just too much style and little substance, like most of the story beats that drive the plot forward happen randomly but you must have seen how atmospheric it is, the movie has a lot of spider imagery even without showing them on screen

    Enemy - a tale about the city as much as the characters?

    "Chaos is order yet undeciphered."

    Enemy was exhilarating, I was so tensed during the whole movie about what was going on and couldn't look away. Even if you set aside the doppelganger plot of the movie, the world and details in it that Denis Villeneuve created are beautifully exhausting and suffocating. I was taking screenshots and zooming in to a scene of a character turning off lights because I wanted to see if the design of the switches mean the setting is a dystopian one, that's what this movie was doing to me lol

    It has this dystopain kafka-esque feeling to it that you can't stop what's happening and you don't know what's happening. The city in Enemy has this perpetual yellow haze over it that seems to wash over on everything and affect the characters as well as what's going on in their minds. The two characters often have vivid dreams of the city scape with a giant deformed spider walking above it and it seems to represent to me, this influence of ugliness and stagnant-ness. I

  • Meanwhile I: "What's GNU?"

  • Can't wait to use this in Leaf Blower Revolution

  • Is there any way to stop this kind of thinking in old people?

  • Why would someone do this? Do they feel like a rebellious hero?

  • Not an American. How much do you guys normally pay for overdraft? 3$ is still a lot for me

  • Is this speed special in Tesla cars or all consumer electric or normal cars? Why waste money to give a grocery getter that much extra power

  • I use it daily. On the bus, in the library, I can silence my phone by just plugging it in instead of using the volume buttons, I can use it on my PC which doesn't have Bluetooth. I don't have to deal with battery anxiety or weird sensors pausing the song cuz I was vibing my head with the music.

    I admit, wireless seems very...user-friendly right now but it's something that has little use for me. I would pick wired over wire anyday

  • Thanks this was super informative. Fuck Reddit
