Finally a movie that answers the question “what if George Costanza was Jerry Seinfeld?”

Rise and Fall of a Small Film Company 1986
"It's time for life to give back to films all that it has stolen from them."
Godard in full '80s "fuck it" mode, taking cash from French TV to adapt a detective novel, perhaps on the mistaken assumption that 1985's Détective was him calming down and going back to the genre-deconstructive model that made him famous. Instead, he makes a freewheeling account of the act of trying to make such a film in the era of TV, which has only…

RRR 2022
Pretty much everything you could want from a big blockbuster epic.
Action, songs, chase scenes, dance offs, man throwing a leopard at another man’s head, two best friends forming a giant piggyback voltron to take out scores of soldiers, child shooting his own dynamite-strapped father to blow up more soldiers…
Film of the year.

Old Joy 2006
"Bagby Hot Springs does not allow nudity or alcohol." - closing credits
I had a vibey-ass birthday and I wanted to watch a vibey-ass movie. And now I just want to be in nature. As I was watching this, a moth flew onto my TV and didn't leave for the remaining hour of the movie. Gotta be a sign of...something, right?
When I grow up, I wanna be Will Oldham.

RRR 2022
3 hours of pure, unfiltered, love. Love for its characters, love for what they represent, love for the audiences, watching the film, and love for the cinematic medium as a whole. There are so many words that I could use to describe ‘RRR’ as an experience, so many comparisons I could make, yet none of them can do such a beat of a film justice. This film is everything, everything that film can be, everything it can do. This is…

Bad Lucky Goat 2017
London Film Festival: Film #10
UK premiereI was expecting Brewster's-Millions-with-a-goat, I got something like the very essence of charm: a wonderfully atmospheric story of burgeoning sibling friendship, set on a Caribbean island, about a brother and sister who accidentally wreck their parents' car by running over a goat, and hatch one scheme after another to try to get level.
Colombian director Samir Oliveros shot the film on Providence Island (an old colonial outpost owned by Colombia) using non-professional local…

Line Goes Up: The Problem With NFTs 2022
having a fun time thinking about how whenever a tech guy pointlessly reinvents a basic social service he's actually just chasing the unobtainable thrill of colonizing a new land. but no matter how hard he tries, he's only simulating his own birth through a hot dry tube underneath las vegas for example

Somehow out-Raimis the first one. Possibly his masterpiece. Dude can really rock a sequel.

On the Town 1949
First off; Betty Garrett owns this film as far as I'm concerned. She was my favorite thing about it. I always love seeing Gene Kelly and its interesting to see him and Donen working towards perfecting what they do, which will peak with their masterpiece Singin in the Rain. Its a shame most of the Bernstein songs were but because I found most of the song-and-dance numbers to be really forgettable. I did enjoy the active role Garrett and Miller…
