It's beautiful ridiculousness. I'm a fan but I realise it could just as easily fail in the wrong mood.

Frances Ha is a terrible movie

I liked it.
― dan selzer, Friday, 15 November 2013 07:32 (ten years ago) link
it's got stylish visuals and all, which I'm usually a sucker for, but that wasn't quite enough for me.
― gbx, Friday, 15 November 2013 13:50 (ten years ago) link
It doesn't quite work as a narrative, for sure

jeezus two days of trying to start a thread on the film board and i don't know why i just don't give up. this might be a good time for a break. done listening to eagles songs. thank god. oh well.
― scott seward, Friday, 15 November 2013 16:33 (ten years ago) link
my issues with Frances Ha were mostly with the last fifteen minutes where our lead character magically gets her act together in a fucking montage. it feels deeply anti-humanistic to spend all this manic pixie dreamtime with your lead character and then resolve the story with #2: ? #3: Profit!

Oh so is that what happens at the end of that movie I have at the top of my queue

dont worry, thats not what happens really
― johnny crunch, Friday, 15 November 2013 17:27 (ten years ago) link
ymmv i guess but i thought it was disingenuous, twee and coyly sitcom-in-indiesheep's clothing stuffi actually did a full on Morbs rant at the end of the screening and stormed out of the theater
― ill never click this homo erotic site again (forksclovetofu), Friday, 15 November 2013 17:36 (ten years ago) link
woulda paid to hear that. you should do a commentary track on the Criterion!
Barbara is splendid.
― eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Friday, 15 November 2013 17:41 (ten years ago) link
i was at one of the opening screenings; baumbach was doing a talk-back after and my date was frantically shushing me as i left the theater yelling "we're all just so fucking QUIRKY aren't we"
― ill never click this homo erotic site again (forksclovetofu), Friday, 15 November 2013 17:44 (ten years ago) link
this is not behavior i'm proud of exactly but it pretty accurately reflects my lack of appreciation for that movie. a week later i ended up sitting next to baumbach and gertwig at a show that involved baumbach getting motorboated by the lead singer. i refrained from yelling "we're all just so fucking QUIRKY aren't we" that time but it was maybe applicable then too.
― ill never click this homo erotic site again (forksclovetofu), Friday, 15 November 2013 17:47 (ten years ago) link
"motorboated" is a new verb to me.
oh hey the Criterion is out.
― eclectic husbandry (Dr Morbius), Friday, 15 November 2013 17:49 (ten years ago) link
xp haha *daps*
― Nhex, Friday, 15 November 2013 17:50 (ten years ago) link
You have got to be kidding me. Motorboated? What was the band?
― sweat pea (La Lechera), Friday, 15 November 2013 18:05 (ten years ago) link
No lawyer would ever sign off on it, but I honestly wish all DVDs had separate commentary tracks from the film's proponents and detractors.

wow -- that's something else. i'm pretty sure frances ha would churn my stomach, so i'll continue to not see it.

Curiosity got the better of me and I clicked on "resume".
WHAT HAVE I DONE.
My recommendation carousel now looks thus: Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, She-Devil, Heathers, Sgt Bilko, Trading Places, Coming to America, Beverly Hills Cop II, Summer School, and other gems.

why are some films showing up on instantwatcher but not there when I search the catalogue (only god forgives, eg)

if you like lifetime movies and/or subdued 80's thrillers you should watch Black Widow

in david thomson's have you seen...? he talks about being asked to provide a commentary for the matrix after slamming it in a review. I haven't heard it, could be funny I guess

Something glitchy with netflix. It happened to me the other day with A Hijacking. I checked afterward to see if Only God Forgives was there and it was.
― Insane Prince of False Binaries (Gukbe), Sunday, 17 November 2013 16:38 (ten years ago) link
yep, with debra winger
idk if difficult listening hour looks at this thread or not but about half the film takes place in Hilo

Only God Forgives missing subtitle for most (but oddly not all) the Thai dialogue scenes. Easy to follow from synopsis but still rather odd.

I watched Top Cat: The Movie with my son yesterday. Apparently Top Cat is very popular in Mexico and the movie is a Mexican production, so Netflix defaults the language to Spanish. I couldn't figure out how to switch to the English dub on my blu-ray Netflix app, but managed to get it going on my computer. The movie itself had a strong 1984/Big Brother theme to it which seemed very dark for loveable ol' Top Cat.

uh, best described as Black Widow w/ Theresa Russell, kidz

Russian Ark is up, which I've not seen since the theatres and I've been looking forward to revisiting.
Also, some more MST3K including I Accuse My Parents and another Gamera
