You invited me before, but apparently I waited too long to use the link. I've never used discord before, but I'll check it out if you send me another link.
I'll fill out form for fun. Lady Bird What We do in the Shadows Anything with Rooney Mara Vampyr Hausu Woman in the Dunes City Lights David Lynch Carl Theodor Dreyer Charlie Chaplin David Cronenberg Netflix Hulu HBO Max Showtime I've been watching a lot of Mystery Science Theater 3000 lately, and older, schlocky horror films that The Film Detective plays. I don't go to the theater. The last movie I saw in theater was Lady Bird. Before that, Lincoln. Before that, probably Little Miss Sunshine. So basically never. Not many, just a couple dozen of my very favorites. The Twilight Zone Beavis and Butt-Head Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! My Brilliant Friend What I've seen is pretty forgettable to just bad. People have insisted to me that Logan and The Joker are legit, but I haven't bothered to watch them. Don't get me wrong; there are bad movies I enjoy. Super hero movies just aren't my thing. I generally detest the notion that justice being served, and good prevailing qualify as resolution. It's predictable and lame, and without purpose. If I'm going to watch a movie with no point to it and character plot armor, I want some gore and practical effects splattered throughout the movie, not a bunch of tools in shiny spandex zipping around. --- https://imgur.com/SJyzEFW by SmidgeIsntBack ...

I just posted to respond to this. the movies you listed are not in the MCU. the MCU isn't just all super hero movies. it's a specific series based on Marvel comics. Logan is marvel but it wasn't in the MCU. it was made by Fox back before they were owned by Disney who owns Marvel. and it was part of a seperate universe of X-Men movies that are not part of the MCU. Joker is a DC comics character, which is the rival of Marvel. I know you probably don't give one fuck. but it bugged me. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Barton Fink, The Thief and the Cobbler, Airplane!, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Grave of the Fireflies, Return to the 36th Chamber, The Man Who Knew Too Much Who are some of your favorite directors? Tarantino, Kubrick, Wachowskis, Coen Brothers, Lupino, Miyazaki, Lau, Bigelow Which streaming services are you subscribed to? just netflix right now. been on a Ghibli kick lately How often do you watch movies made before 1970? interestingly, one thing I've been doing on netflix is just looking for the oldest movies I can find. it's recommending me like, Charlie Chaplin movies for a while now. I'd say at least 1 every couple weeks, but sometimes I go on a kick and watch a bunch of really old movies How often did you go to the movies before the pandemic began? I made a point of trying to go to the theatre at least once a month How many movies do you own on physical media? whew. no clue. I have maybe 100 DVDs and... a lot of VHS. BONUS: What are some of your favorite shows? Breaking Bad, Bojack Horseman, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, Maniac, Arrested Development, Kill la Kill SURPRISE ANOTHER BONUS: Is the MCU cinema? I don't particularly care if they count as "cinema" or not; there are varying definitions of "cinema", and what Scorsese was talking about is very much related to a unified creative vision of a single Auteur. I will say that it's frustrating that this one comment, among so many cogent ideas, is what people chose to fixate on. anything Scorsese says about film is, at the very least, worth listening to and thinking about --- peanut butter and dick ...

I don't think i'd fit, I don't really watch a lot of older films, 007 is about as early as I go and even that's rare. I'm also not much of a critic, I tend to like things that most people hate, and i'm big into the mainstream stuff like the MCU, Star Wars, etc. I think i'd just get ragged on a lot for my opinions. I generally do on CE.

fighting through cancer doesnt magically make your movies good and/or cinema sorry to say it Just because something is cinema doesn't make it good or bad. There are plenty of things I would call cinema that are bad and vice versa. I like to think Chadwick Boseman fought through all of that because he believed these Marvel movies were cinema, were worth the effort, and could make change by speaking to our culture on a worldwide level, especially when it comes to the Black community. It also sounds wrong and tasteless to say "yeah, all that hard work you did when you had stage IV cancer, it was for something that wasn't even cinema!" Quality has nothing to do with the conversation. I'm aware Martin Scorsese sees the movies more as roller coasters than anything else. But can you tell me the last time a roller coaster had such a dramatic cultural impact on the entire world? --- "I'm 38 and nearly lost it last night when I thought I'd lost my Minecraft world." - DSP ...
