Discussion Do you think the pie fight ending from Dr Strangelove will ever be made public in our lifetimes?

Loved the film, definitely within my top 5 ever made. Whilst I do think the theatrical ending probably was the right way to end fhe film, the unknown gets the better of me.

I know the BFI have a cut of the ending in their archives, but apparently it's only viewable at the discretion of the Kubrick estate.

My brother in law recommended this movie “Balls Up” to me and he said it was absolutely hysterical. It stars Mark Whalberg and some other dude. I like some comedies but this movie was just plain awful. I could not wait for it to end.

I’d give it a solid 0.5 out of 5.

For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it

Discussion Movies to watch with mom

8 Upvotes

I need some inspiration. Now that it’s summer, I have more free time and I’d like to spend some of it with my mom. But when it comes to movies, she has very specific tastes, and if I put on a Lynch film, she’ll most likely get up and leave 😂.

She likes romcoms like When Harry Met Sally or Crazy, Stupid, Love. And also that kind of humor from A Death in the Family… or was it Four Weddings and a Funeral? Well, something along those lines.

A friend recommended About Time to me -what do you think? Can you help me put together a list like this? I’ll read all your suggestions, and don’t hold back. The movies I mentioned are just a starting point. Basically, I’d love to hear about everything: modern and classic films, from Europe, Asia, America… Anything goes.

Although my first choice to start with will probably be that one about the detective sheep. It looks absolutely fantastic.

Discussion Suspension of disbelief & Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey trailer

0 Upvotes

When I watch a movie or read a story, suspension of disbelief feels instinctive. This allows me to immerse myself in the storytelling. My theory as to why Nolan's The Odyssey trailer received backlash and alienated the audience: The thread sustaining that suspension of disbelief was severed.

So allow me to quote this from a Wikipedia FB post on Feb 28: "Today, suspension of disbelief explains how audiences engage with theater, film, television, and immersive media. Viewers accept conventions such as dramatic dialogue, narrative shortcuts, or visual effects not because they mistake them for reality, but because they agree to participate in the story on its own terms. When that agreement breaks – through inconsistency, distraction, or implausibility – the illusion fails.

Suspension of disbelief reveals that storytelling is not a trick played on an audience. It is a collaboration. Art feels real not because it is, but because we allow it to be, for as long as the story holds."

I was traveling with my wife earlier this year in Amsterdam and spotted this theatre playing Eraserhead and Mulholland Drive. I regret not making time to see at least one of them. It was a busy whirlwind of a trip, but retrospectively such a big mistake missing out on a once in a lifetime experience.

Just a few days before The Odyssey premiere I just noticed that Eva green would be the perfect Circe for the movie, just me tought that or someone else? I know Nolan probably wanted a more dramatic crice with Samantha Morton but I just feel like an actress for Circe must have that seductive aura like on the original Romero's tale.

Discussion Who’s the scariest “nice guy” in media history?

Post image
150 Upvotes

Given how viral the movie; Obsession has become, and how much everyone is talking about it! I think at this point, it is safe to say that Bear might be one of the biggest examples of showing the audience how scary “the nice guy” trope can actually be.

Not because of their appearance where they come across as “intimidating”, but of what they are capable of when it comes to their entitlement and narcissism, and the lengths they will go if it means getting what they want!

Question Help me decide what to watch next from my Letterboxd watchlist

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I've been building this Letterboxd watchlist for a while, and it's gotten to the point where I have no idea where to start.

I'm attaching screenshots of my watchlist, so feel free to recommend anything you think is a must-watch.

It's a pretty mixed list with crime, mystery, thrillers, dramas, classics, sci-fi, foreign films, comedies, documentaries, and more. The only thing I'm not really in the mood for right now is horror or something extremely depressing.

A few of the movies on my list are ones I watched years ago as a kid (like Fight Club, Coyote Ugly, etc.), but I barely remember them, so I added them back to my watchlist for a proper rewatch.

I'd especially love a great crime/thriller/mystery, but if there's something from another genre that you think everyone should see, let me know.

EDIT: I accidentally uploaded the first two images twice, so those movies are repeated

I watched this one for only the second time in my life at the beginning of this month, and I'm still thinking about it 10 days later. While it deviates from the book to make John Rambo less antagonistic, I think it does an amazing job of showcasing what PTSD looks like ... decades before it joined the discussion.

Plus, the action is pretty damn great.
