am i gonna be normal about glass onion? no i’m not

you don’t understand, benoit blanc movies are THE whodunit of our generation, the new original mystery movies that are not an adaptation! and i want them to have a very happy and long life!

#and that other start copying it #we need more detective mysteries in the cinema #not just on the tv #glass onion #i just love detective stories #but of a certain kind #agatha christie kind #not the police/csi kind #we need a charming detective #a large countryhouse full of people with difficult relationships #all the drama #it's the best if the detective is there even before the murder #i'm gonna suspend my disbelief for the fun of it

Scarecrow and Clayface are so easy to turn good. Just give them funding for a horror movie. Scarecrow gets to scare people and Clayface gets to be an actor.

Clayface is currently good isn't he? I'm pretty sure he's been a good guy since 2016 just every so often a writer who doesn't actually read comics shows their ass by writing him as a villain for a story, I also disagree with scarecrow Jonathan is one of the rogues I don't think could ever go good he needs to scare people in person too much

#ask #anon #also horror movies are difficult to make #unless crane is like #4d experience putting fear gas into the cinemas #theres always gonna be people not affected by his films #and hed hate that

Lara von Trier anon (might need a better nickname, ha) here. So glad I found someone who also dislikes his films and him as a person... A lot of self-proclaimed cinephiles I've come across say they like him (or at least pretend to, which is likely). I might give him another shot since I haven't watched Melancholia, Dogville, or Nymphomaniac, but my expectations are very low. Besides Antichrist I've seen The House That Jack Built, which is what you'd expect and for the most part feels forced and boring, however it has its good moments (like the way the house is visualized or the fact that it has a whole Dante-Virgil motif where Bruno Ganz plays Virgil..he's as good as always but that's because he's Bruno Ganz after all). Can't say it's worth watching in its entirety though. Anyway, started rambling for a bit there. Would like to hear more kino thoughts from you :^)

hello again lars von trier anon! my sympathies about your nickname, a better one may indeed be in order :D i am also glad to have found a comrade in lars von trier hating! (hate is a strong word i know but man. if i hate any films which i have watched i hate those ones.) i haven't seen any of his other films except melancholia and antichrist, so i definitely intend to try out some of his others to see if i can find one i like (or at least don't actively despise), but i don't have particularly high hopes. i feel like his films have that Artsy quality which makes people want to say they love them because otherwise they will get accused of not understanding them, but there are so many Artsy films out there which actually have something to say and don't leave an unpleasant taste in my proverbial mouth in the process.

anyway, it has been so long since i watched one of his films (and indeed since you sent this ask, i am so sorry!) that i can't actually remember what i hate about them specifically, but for the sake of Kino Thoughts, here is my list of the top ten films i watched this year if you are interested:

The Colour of Pomegranates (1969)

Cries and Whispers (1972)

Johnny Corncob (1973)

The Fifth Seal (1976)

Autumn Sonata (1978)

Angel's Egg (1985)

Dead Man's Letters (1986)

Where Is The Friend's House? (1987)

A Visitor to a Museum (1989)

Morphine (2008)

#ive watched something like 130 films so far this year so it was very difficult to pare down! it took a while i can tell you :D #i am so sorry again that i have taken so long to answer this my friend i hope you have been well in the meantime #my Cinema Friend :D #<3 <3 <3 #asks #Anonymous

Okay, I got back from Everything Everywhere All At Once, I have some thoughts:

1. I demand more movies about figuring things out as an adult please. I am only in my mid 20s and I've already reached my lifetime "children have to save the world" movie quota, and I can only imagine it gets worse from this point forward.

I need to know that I can continue to change, that there will still be opportunities as I get older. Michelle Yeoh can, and should, play every upcoming role designed for whichever is the current <20 year old heartthrob.

2. Holy Shit this was a difficult movie for someone who has a rough relationship with their mother, especially when they fought yesterday...I know she would hate this movie, and that she wouldn't want to understand it either.

3. How do I find a person who is just happy doing laundry and taxes with me 😭💔 asking for a friend because I'm lonely

#everything everywhere all at once #tough one for lonely people with mummy issues. is what im saying.#seeing my friend was nice though :3 #some parts were very cornetto-trilogy-y ! and it also made me want to rewatch hardcore henry #im also watching rick and Morty...man i actually love alternate reality stuff like that #ik its very trendy - the mcu are doing it #but the way this movie did it was incredibly compelling #im happy i say it at the cinema because some of the visuals !! wow !! and the sound too #akdjjala they played that one iasip tune at one point lmao and it took me out of it for a second #but mostly. i couldn't look away. and i wished it would keep going #which is unusual for me because i find it difficult to concentrate a lot of the time #i need to watch a video essay or read some stuff about it lol #there was SO much happening #literally everything everywhere all at once...#ohhh man. i want to find someone else talking about the yonic imagery too because there was A Lot.#woes of emily #eeaao

Andrew Garfield turning up unexpectedly in a movie was one of the best times i've had at the cinemas. The whole goddamn cinema hall lost its collective mind.

#its so difficult to not get spoilered nowadays but it is still the best way to watch films #its indescribable: a cinema hall that erupts into cheers is a communal spiritual experience!#everyone crying does not connect people in the way everyone laughing does : thems the facts #andrew garfield

'i am no longer willing to do to my daughter what you did to me' watch me cry so hard i almost start gagging and retching

#i was so cocky when i saw how ridiculous this film was i was like oh this wont get to me it's literally so silly #bitches are fine but then evelyn waymond and gong gong ALL help to bring joy back #it's about the generational trauma. it's about watching a family finally fix the cracks in their clay pot #I AM NO LONGER WILLING TO DO TO MY DAUGHTER WHAT YOU DID TO ME #i am so fucking glad i didnt watch this film in the cinema with my dad #bc he Knows that my mum has always been 'hard' and he Knows that me and my sister are also 'hard'#like we are three very difficult women who love each other so fucking much that it causes a lot of conflict #and he's always been very outside of that. he's aware it exists but he's not part of it #so if he saw me literally KEEL OVER AND DRY HEAVE upon watching this film #he'd literally just be like damn???? damn #lmfaooo #eeaao #ALSO MITSKI IN THE CREDITS ARE YOU JOKIGN

Mouna Ragam (1986) is a romantic drama that I really enjoyed. And this particular dialogue by the female protagonist, Divya, reminded me of Devi from Never Have I Ever (2020 - 2023):

Translation: "I have many flaws - anger, stubbornness, arrogance, ego. I am not responsible or caring - I have many flaws like these. I'm telling you this because you should know about me."

Just like Devi, Divya is a brave and flawed woman, who marches to the beat of her own drum. Her story is very different from Devi's. But, I just wanted to celebrate two complex, female protagonists who also happen to be Tamil (and who end up finding men who love them exactly as they are).

#devi vishwakumar #never have i ever #ben gross #maitreyi ramakrishnan #benvi #nhie #ben x devi #jaren lewison #nhie netflix #mouna ragam #tamil #tamil cinema #divya #revathi #chandrakumar #mohan #for women who are difficult to love

Black Moon Rising (1986)

"Mr. Quint and I go back a ways. We used to be... what, in competition?"

"I never considered you competition, Marvin."

"Aw, that's not nice, Quint. We had our moments."

"You must've had yours in private."

#black moon rising #1986 #american cinema #harley cokeliss #john carpenter #william gray #desmond nakano #tommy lee jones #linda hamilton #robert vaughn #richard jaeckel #lee ving #bubba smith #dan shor #william sanderson #keenan wynn #nick cassavetes #richard angarola #don keith opper #lalo schifrin #william marquez #decentish techno thriller but never quite hitting the levels it should. TLJ is a good charismatic lead‚ and apparently adlibbed a lot #of his own dialogue (but was also reportedly difficult to work with and particularly clashed with Hamilton; he was struggling with #alcoholism during filming) and there's a lot of heavy hitters in that cast but it perhaps spreads itself too thin: i always enjoy seeing #Keenan Wynn turn up (and this was his final film) but his character is under developed and adds nothing to the plot‚ and should #probably have been cut... and maybe more time given to Robert Vaughn's big villain‚ whose deeper motives (beyond stealing fancy cars)#remain largely unexplored. the super duper future car is pretty cool‚ even if it does test the limits of belief at times. idk i think it's #just taking itself a little too seriously in places‚ forgetting to have fun with what is essentially a pretty silly idea. this was a john #carpenter script‚ but his involvement ended there; can't help but feel that if he'd directed it then it would have been more successful #and matched the campy tone of Christine or They Live. a slightly missed opportunity but not a waste of time by any means

Me: "i don't think any line from a fictional story would really get to me"

Seonho: "your blood on top of all the sins i already have to pay for? must you be so cruel?"

#he got me so good with that one #you think the earth's crust got lots of layers you should listen to seonho talk #tbh he's got many really great impactful and memorable lines but this one is my personal favorite #the delivery was so insane when you consider the setting and the weight of his words #when you think about whom he responded to for saying what #that scene in itself was just so great so real cinema ugh #it's really difficult to explain when you havent watched but if you have. you just know #nobody gets this line like i do 😍#i could write think pieces on this line alone and the implications the weight the delivery the setting the unspoken emotions the guilt #woo dohwan shined with this role #nesi rants #my country the new age #my country: the new age #mctna

my partner and I have been wanting to go to the cinema for a few weeks now. we were supposed to go last week but I wasn't feeling well that day. now we're supposed to go tonight annnd again I don't feel like I can do it 😭

#I love going to the cinema. it's the one outside the house thing that I like to do #but we've gone so rarely because of covid and everything that it's scary and stressful again #so it feels too difficult #I'm so tired and it'd be so much work to have a shower and everything #personal

went to a real ballet for the first time and i realize now why this is cocomelon both for people with the anxiety levels of an animal being hunted on the spot and a rich person with no thoughts

#it was fun tho lol!!! still like operas better bc they are actually accessible & cheap where i live #atp opera house is my second home with how many stage plays i have been watching the discount is no joke #only place where going to the cinema is more expensive & difficult than seeing carmen for 3€. lol #log

i hope someone tags me in an end of the year films you've watched wrap up post, faves post whatever. i watched quite a few films i loved this year!!

#and it's not over yet!!#i watched quite a lot of films this year for my standards #and it was a joy it was beautiful like i didn't force myself #and it's not about the number it's just that there is SO much i wanna watch and sometimes i get overwhelmed #but it's beautiful to be able to watch even just some of the hundreds and hundreds of films that are on my radar #slowly i'll watch many more and find a little bit of joy or of knowledge or of myself or of the world in each of them #i love cinema 💗💗#also yes this is a not so subtle suggestion to tag me when the time comes haha #it'll be DIFFICULT to narrow it down bc usually it's like 9 fave movies i think?#but it'll be fun to reflect on this year in movies!!!#nico.txt
