Absolutely! By all means. 🤝

@Thrillhouse@lemmy.world, don’t take these things personally.

Thank you, Blaze! 🤗

How about a non-archive.today link, please? It’s insecure (http) and more often than not times out.

Only out of perverse curiosity, where are you from?

ROCK AND ROOOOOLLLLL!!! 👍 🎸🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 😎

Now you got another moment to tell him in 20 years! 😁 ❤

Color me embarassed. Link has been corrected. The responsible LinkMonkey(s)™ will be severely reprimanded!

Afterthought EDIT: thanks for bringing that to my attention. I was wondering if anybody was clicking any of the links.

Yeah! I felt the same way about…wha…John Davi…sorry, I thought we were talking about Avatar.

Geez, I really want to contest this seemingly unfair declaration…but after perusing Ms Bernhard’s (my mistake adding the final “t”) fimography, of all of her performances listed that I’m familar with…

I just can’t. This is her shining moment.

Stop it! 🤣😂🤣 You’re killing me!! 🤣😂🤣 Great review! Your anger is hilarious!

What, the Lynch Dune wasn’t a feast for the eyes??

“Format” or “initialise”? “Directory” or “folder”…or maybe “drawer”? It’s already termed “instance” for a few years now by the Devs, so…

🧘 A man asked Gautama Buddha, I want happiness. Buddha said, First remove I, that’s Ego, then remove want, that’s Desire. See now you are left with only Happiness

Of all the “thumbs down” this movie is getting here, your insights are actually very interesting! I’m surprised no one else had picked upon that! Well…not THAT surprised, really. 🙄

Now, the question is has it escaped everyone here who’s seen it or are you reading too much into it? 😇

You mean tar and gzip?

I’m a fan of his stepbrother, Ridley. Did you know his sister Kimberly invented paper towels.

Why? Are you the executive producer? 🤣 Maybe John David Washington’s agent? 😆 Just joking with ya, Blazey!

Wow…meta overload! 🤯 So mainstream is Postmodernist self-reference that it’s no longer even recognized as such, it’s almost banality. Maybe the owls really aren’t what they seem after all?

If your end goal is to make a tight knit drama full of people in rooms talking to each other, well, The Godfather is over there ->

FTFY. IIRC (so many acronyms) your sentence above, whether you knew it or not, is almost verbatim Coppola discussing his The Godfather.

I don’t think Scorsese, of all people, forgets movie history. I think someone who made a film about Méliès being forgotten in his own time isn’t someone who easily forgets the technological advances you’ve mentioned (you’ve forgotten sound 😝).

To do THAT, I NEED a spectacle. I need to see something that demands I see it right away, in a theatrical environment. It needs to be a theme park ride.

Here’s where we part company. First Man wasn’t a “theme park ride” and yet needs to be seen on “the big screen.” Eraserhead, while potent even on a smaller screen, needs to be seen on “the big screen.” 2001: A Space Odyssey. D.E. Pennebaker’s Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars. Blazing Saddles. Lawrence of Arabia. Wouldn’t you agree? Sure, I’ll admit I’m cherry-picking but there are also many others I’m forgetting about and none of them are formulaic, soulless examples of moviemaking calculated just to press the dopamine drip button.

One of these days, we’ll get into Cameron’s Avatar. Another time, not today.

I realise technology plays an enormous role in cinema. It drives cinema. But I don’t understand why you (and the general moviegoing public) insist on the junk food being served for twenty years now and the bigger the portions the better. Movies need to be grand (even when they’re small), not merely big. It’s still the same ham sandwich every time. Adding more and more mustard doesn’t make it better nor different. FRANCHISE MOVIES ARE LIKE ALWAYS TYPING EVERYTHING IN CAPS. AND YOU CAN’T TYPE ANY BIGGER THAN THIS.

Always a pleasure, Dr Lund! 🤝
