so kind of a tangent but i started to think about what i thought were the consistently funniest movies so i'll ask everyone else that as well.

What do you think are the consistently funniest movies of all time?

i'm phrasing it like that because there's a lot of popular comedies where there are definitely small moments but the rest of the movie just drags for me and i couldn't really think of anything where i remember thinking "this is funny the whole time"

maybe i'll have to watch a full Neil Breen or something instead of just clips

In Bruges

this was a rewatch for me and I ended up feeling kind of the same about it? I didnt remember most of it (like i completely forgot that bit about the priest being Ray's first job) but i had it at a 7/10 and i think that rating's going to stay for now. like the only thing i vaguely remembered was that it was supposed to be really funny? and there were humorous moments for sure but also a bunch of times where i didn't find the intended comedic elements that funny. this might have been distracting overall since i diverted part of my attention to look for the funny moments lol. so yeah maybe i went in with a mindset that was a bit one-dimensional.

like obviously there's more to the movie than the comedic elements but i just got hung up on that for some reason

it's definitely a possibility from what i briefly looked up. just not sure of how common it is. it seems rare overall? and i think they mentioned this in the movie but it's not "hearing" in the same way so you do have to "relearn" sounds

I don't have an easy way to stream it, and it has been getting tepid reviews so far here anyway so I think I'll just take this week off.
i don't know how everyone else views their own scale but a 7/10 for me is still very good and something i would recommend to most. i would at least say to keep it in mind if you ever pick up prime or something.

also since you mentioned wanting to check out Parasite a week ago, it is on hulu in case you didn't know.

He's a recovering addict, and this movie frames many of his actions in that light. When he first gets his diagnosis, what does he do? Deny its severity, hide it from Lou, and disregards his well-being so he can play a gig.

early on, he mentions to his sponsor (i'm assuming) that Lou had him call because he had a cigarette which he considers an overreaction because of the circumstances. If Lou, who's seen him during the recovery process felt like that even one cigarette was reason for concern, it suggests to me he may perhaps be more prone to relapsing, that he's shown in the past. like some in recovery might still regularly smoke as a replacement, coping mechanism, etc. whereas some know that even the smallest thing could lead to relapse so they stay away from everything.

Sound of Metal

i was honestly terrified in the beginning act where Ruben first starts to experience his hearing loss and you hear all the muffled noises from his point of view. losing a sense you're so accustomed to is an experience i've thought about but hopefully will never experience. i recently (like 3 weeks ago) was made aware of Riz Ahmed in Four Lions and he is great here as well. really showing the mounting frustration/anger and slow realization of the absolute powerlessness you feel when life throws you one of those curve balls.

Joe's work that he writes for Ruben on the whiteboard is to "learn how to be deaf" and at the start we can see his reluctance because of the denial that he's "not really like them" i.e. not completely deaf and he's still holding on to that hope of getting the implants and returning to normalcy. and then he has a moment with that kid on the slide where i think it's either that the kid was also not completely deaf and could somewhat hear the rhythmic banging on the slide or was feeling the vibrations and mimicking him but it triggers a phase where he decides to assimilate more with the community. i see the comments about the pacing/wishing it showed more of the process after this scene but i guess i didn't feel it as much. the next scene shows him signing and conversing with other people so i'm guessing a somewhat significant amount of time had passed since it seemed like he was at a comfortable level with the language.

so i always watch movies with subtitles but decided to turn them off for this movie during one of the early scenes where the sound becomes distant and muffled. but i saw that apparently, the filmmakers intended for the film to be viewed with subtitles and it was shown that way in festivals? i did notice that early on, even with the subtitle option turned off, the sign language was never being subbed but after the scene with the kid on the slide, the signing starts being subtitled mirroring Ruben's own understanding. reminded me of The Tribe where everything is signed but there are no subtitles at all.

it seems like the effectiveness of cochlear implants is like most things where it varies from person to person but i do wonder how many of the cases end up like Ruben's where it may be preferable to the individual to just not hear anything at all. Joe's reaction to the news of Ruben's surgery makes sense to me because he had started believing that Ruben was committed to staying with the deaf community (talking about future prospects of working with his organization/the kids) but he saw the surgery as Ruben's "relapse" moment and he felt he would be a negative influence to the rest of the community. although i am curious how much Joe actually believed Ruben was fully committed since I'm assuming he locked the door to his room with Internet access because he figured Ruben was sneaking into it. maybe he let himself believe and felt that much more affected by the "betrayal". Maybe for a short while, Ruben himself believed it. Like after the conversation with Joe about the future job, he looks up Lou and then sells off all his stuff to get the money for the surgery like the conversation reminded him what he originally wanted. If you compare his scenes with the member who got the tattoo, their initial discussion is entirely signed between them but when they're on the RV after he's decided about the surgery, he's speaking a lot more with minimal signing like he's giving up what he learned there and preparing to go back to his old life.

anyway, i liked it enough. 7-maybe-8/10 for me.

Mother

Wow. Even seeing Parasite did not prepare me for this one. Very glad to not have had it spoiled for me, I had visceral reactions to several of the reveals - plus Kim Hye-ja's screams are horrifying. Bong Joon-ho sure has a grim view of humanity, but is an absolute visual & storytelling genius.

I don't know if this was talked about, or if it was even up for interpretation, but since insecticide is known to cause lasting neurological problems in children, I wonder if the implication here is that the infanticide attempt actually caused or worsened the son's cognitive problems and ultimately led to the girl's death. That'd be so gutting.

yeah, i've seen that theory before. her shame would probably be amplified when she found out what really happened in that case. she was adamant enough that he didn't do it in the first place that she showed up to the funeral, specifically to tell the people there that her son was innocent.

some shot stuff

there's like 3 shots of flowing?/trickling? liquid - first with the urine at the bus stop, water at the house and blood at the junk collector's. does it mean anything? i don't know.

i think probably one of the most memorable shots is when Do-Joon is looking at his mother with his eye covered because of the fight he was in earlier and then when he drops the line about her trying to kill him, he uncovers the eye and shows the bruising mirroring the "reveal" of the truth

randomly remembered my high school AP Stats teacher who as first semester ended, just looked at one guy in our class, said "by next semester you're gone" and the kid replied "ok," in a completely resigned way and by next semester was transferred to a different class.

maybe it was cuz i never paid attention in that class but i never knew what that kid did. i think he just annoyed the teacher? lol

Hmmmm... I may not understand the ranking. Not that I'm upset, it was my #2 after all. it looks very good!
Sound of Metal had 10 overall votes which was the most.

The ranking within individual votes are not taken into account unless there is a tie.

If you vote for any movie, regardless of where you rank it, you are saying that you're fine with watching it. So we end up going with the choice that the most number of people are fine with.

Sorry if I was unclear or anything. I hope everyone understood that from the start. If you think I made a mistake, let me know.
