I have no idea where I heard it, but someone once said film is their favorite art form because it's a combination all of the others put together. (edit: I figured out the best way to google search this and it was Sydney fuckin' Pollack! Go off, king!!)
That's always stuck with me because A) it's true and B) you often see musicians, writers, visual artists and the like dabble into filmmaking, and rarely the other way around.
I’m not normally the type who’s favorites of something could change on any given day, but damn it, any one of those Rian Johnson bangers has a strong case for my top spot of his filmography.
I’m not putting him in their eschelon, but Johnson, like Scorsese, Nolan, or Spielberg, feels like he was born to tell stories. He might be an all-time favorite when all is said and done.
One of the sturdiest blockbusters of recent memory, and having read the graphic novel, I am confident in saying it told that story better by being a smidge more digestable.
Watching this made me realize how long it's been since I have seen a new studio comedy in the theater.
We should do more of those!
Eichner is one of the funniest people out there, and while this has all the wit and charm I've come to expect from him, this also has a few moments where it feels like he gets things off his chest that had been there a while, and, idk, it's pretty cool that he got over 3,300 screens in October to say them.
It’s one of the all-time spectacles in effects, music, production design and such, but even after 5 or so watches I still can’t quite get into the story of Blade Runner.
A problem that the sequel overcomes in like 6 seconds, which is why it’s an all-timer for me.
Look at the stuff you can do when you’re not spending half your runtime on a bunch of lame cameos for the “10 Things We Might See In Spider-Man 6” and “MCU Phase Four - EXPLAINED” crowds.
I’m not saying Love and Thunder is high art, but it is a story with a beginning, middle and end where characters feel, confront relateable human obstacles and by the end, grow as people.
Men is a movie that is About Things and isn’t afraid to Go There.
Unfortunately for me, I don’t think the things its about are very interesting and the places it goes are shock/body horror which I couldn’t care about in the least.
Give me Ex Machina’s introspection on men’s default to cruelty and inherent god complex’s or Annihilation’s stirring meditation on death than this, which is ultimately more bark than bite from one of my favorite active filmmakers.
This and Devs has me worried he won’t be on that list for much longer.
