For some reason, of the three - I'd kill to know if CRUELLA would've fared better B.O wise (I think yes esp with word of mouth)

In other words, I've thought about this a lot and the fact that it didn't get pre covid box office may have contributed to Nolan wanting to bounce back with something more accessible

I weirdly think had it not been released during Covid times, it would've copped a harsher response from critics and audiences. I think it coming out at a time where we had no movies and this was the saviour of cinemas kinda helped it a little.

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Tenet and The Matrix Resurrections

"Hey guys, just had a vision from the lord. He said no sex. Ever again."

Group:
*Pauses for 2 seconds* "SOUNDS GOOD!"

*Everyone twerks for 20 years*

I feel so woozy and...euphoric?

I had waited MONTHS with such excitement and anticipation for Ann Lee. I was fucking CRUSHED that it wasn't for me

One great disappointment, one giant surprise, and two others that met expectations (Positive)

It's been more than 20 years since Tony wrote Munich. Watching the film get written, shot, and released was an extraordinary experience, and I don't think anyone has talked to Tony about it with more thoroughness and insight than Corey has here.

Fun fact, I used to LOVE Ińàrritu until I saw Birdman and then The Revenant follow up and disliked both immensely! (I still love BIUTIFUL which very few saw and the ones who did - Did noooot like it). Scared to rewatch the ones I used to love

I better get my reading glasses on

Bringing Out The Dead is my favourite and love Casino. I love a few more but struggle with A LOT of em so I can also see this

Love Nomadland but can absolutely see why it doesn't work for some. I don't get the love for the newest one

"To be...or not? To be? Hhmmm whatever could these words mean?!"

Don Luca?!?! And and QUEER IS THE FILM THAT CONVERTED YOU?! This is the most bonkers answer. I'll give you that (I LOVE After The Hunt, really like Bones and All so I'll pay those) huh.

Re Zhao - The Rider is incredible and all of her cinematic sensibilities working like a charm.

Also, fun fact:

I saw Nouvelle Vague recently. Had a wonderful time with it until remembering that the happy, joyful "Life is cinema" protag in the centre is meant to be Goddard.

Linklater, m8 - This man is a fucken misery fest. This is a fantasy.

I've seen three of his films. Breathless I liked, the others were absolute fucking slogs to sit through

It's the anti First Man. I assure you. I also haven't checked the gas in my place for at least six months so

Oh my. Uh, well, if it helps, I think it's one of the most boring film experiences I've ever had (But Babylon however..)

100% this. Hate the experience, love his ambition. When they love both, he freaks out.

Coward?! Babylon is the only film of his I like and I fucking ADORE that movie. The others? No bueno.

Been holding out for a cinema viewing of Playtime. Have heard from MANY it doesn't play as well at home

I'm gonna start with this one

Sadly, I love Irreversible (Even though I know it's VERY cheap and hated Climax so *Shrugs*)

I still remember that story of Climax getting good reviews and great WoM at Cannes and he was flabbergasted the whole festival not knowing what to do with people unanimously loving a film of his

I think Enter The Void is the biggest 180 I've ever had on a film (Loved then despised on rewatch)

That's the only one I like and I love the opening party sequence in The Great Beauty

(It feels like his entire filmography is this:

Horny old man: "Oh mya god. Looka ata all the beautiful nakeda ladies" )

This is probably a safe post to reply with: Never seen a Tati or a Gomes but have heard a LOT of film folks struggle with the former.

Lynch - V much understand this. Elephant Man is my favourite and love Straight Story. But like most of his stuff.

Jarmusch - Have you caught Night on Earth or Ghost Dog by any chance? (Still can't get into Dead Man)

*Hate the least

1. Good answer
2. You gotta pick ONE - The one you like the least (I love one of his films and love one sequence from another. The rest is a no bueno from me)
