Talk About Movies: Part 4
Somehow threads merged, so here's part 4 of our ongoing movie discussion.
was trying to remember what film has a scene where a really obnoxious character drones on and on about champagne and how it needs to be the right brand and it can't ever go flat and then gets really upset when his champagn bottle is either not cold or flat and orders another
maybe it was beer instead of champagne?
lol but no it was definitely some champagne where the guy went on a tarantinoesque monologue about why this specific brand was so great etc and then at the end of the story he notices his bottle is either slightly warm or not fully bubbly so even though it's basically full and really expensive he discards it and yells for more
Frank Henenlotter's tour de force.

Four Rooms?
Frankenhooker! Great one-joke movie.
Plugged up two holes in my collection... Zone of Interest and Virgin Suicides, neither of which I had seen before... my goodness did I ever miss out.
I've never really cared about celebrity but that's a fantastic story.
my parents are good friends with saul rubinek (biographer in unforgiven and producer/coke buyer in true romance among many other roles) and I've chatted with him a few times about film and he's incredibly smart and really nice friendly very funny guy.
I remember you telling this before...it's so cool.
The Taking
A documentary about Monument Valley, John Ford, and the mythology of the West. The documentary is not limited to Ford's films, although much of the film centers on Ford's Monument Valley films. Instead, the film explores the ways in which the location is represented in film and how other films make use of that location.
Highly Recommended.
Available on Criterion.

I haven’t seen too many of Yorgos’ films, but I did see Poor Things earlier this year and Kinds Of Kindness earlier this week.
That is far too much Lanthimos for a single year….
KoK was just a weird and miserable ****ing time. At least PT had amazing art and set design.
now we're finally talking about some films that fulfill my nudity quotient in film
phat mack 2024 is my write in candidate
in all seriousness though, i absolutely adored how they spent so much money creating elaborate fantastical sets in poor things, like how the imagined lisbon was just amazing film
i now worry about visiting lisbon, i've never been, always been meaning to go, but i don't think i'll ever witness sufficient wonder and magic and free flowing titties as i will expect due to that film

It really was spectacular. I worked on a film in early 2022 that, if it wasn’t a low budget indie, would have looked a lot like Poor Things. We tried but it was originally a theater piece that Covid made it become a film.
Watching this while hiking through small town America getting treated to a free dinner from the owner of this pizza joint and the volume just low enough that the dialogue gets drowned out by the sound mix is the nuts
I give up... is there?
I mean heaven forbid... what's the difference between hording and a Library?
^ exactly what comes to mind...
dewey decimal for life!
Ive tried by genre, by director and by year... But I keep coming back to alpha numeric for simplicity sake.
I am at roughly 900+ titles in 4k uhd/bluray/dvd... another 700 in cd/dvd-a/bluray audio and 650 in Vinyl... and streaming isn't an option for me personally.
Why 4k uhd, bluray AND dvd? some titles are only available in those specific formats... If I want to watch Boogie Nights, The Dish, What's up Tiger Lily OR High Fidelity... I need to know that I have to look in my DVD section because those films have never been released any other way.
you would have thought I had learned my lesson after the Laser Disk market crash, but I didnt. At the end, I have 800+ laser disk titles, and those movies were 40$-150$+ ea.
