Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri


this is potentially the first 10/10 i've seen this year. i'm not going to give a movie a perfect rating off of one viewing, but god ****ing dammit was this thing amazing. talk about character arcs. i went from laughing until it hurt to crying my eyes out multiple times throughout the movie and i'd be lying if i said i wasn't emotionally exhausted afterwards.

check this **** out, asap.

Is McDormand gonna win her 2nd Oscar? What a ****ing acting powerhouse.

she deserves it. Sam Rockwell's performance might have even topped it for me. i don't know. regardless it was a cast full of award worthy performances.

Rockwell should have won EVERYTHING for Moon.

Watch Blue Valentine for a sad ****ing movie.

You will be begging for a deus ex machina to make everything better before the horrible, sad conclusion.

This.
I was 17 or so when I saw it and daaaamn, I felt like it dragged me through a ditch filled with broken glass and human waste.

I have yet to see it, it terrifies me so much. Maybe If I knew a bit less about history.. but right now, I'm waiting for someone to watch it with, and somehow I can't find any volunteers ;)

Thief of Bagdad (1940)
I posted an itallian poster just because this movie has about one million different posters, and this one was the coolest.

Saw this one last night. Surprisingly fun to watch, albeit a bit silly. Some special effects are good for the time, some look really terrible. I'm sure it must have blown people's minds back then. Both Roger Ebert and George Lucas agree that it's an adventure movie classic. I'm not really disagreeing. I could easily imagine wanting to watch this again several times over the years. A fun thing about watching this is noticing things that Disney's Aladdin movie has taken inspiration from. For example, the villain is named Jafar, and the boy/dog (he's transformed by magic at some point) that follows our hero is named Abu, which is of course rather close to Apu... The princess has a father that acts a lot like the father of Jasmin in Aladdin. And so on...

I also quite liked June Duprez as the princess. She's so pretty!

Ha, I almost included both Requiem and Blue Valentine in my list.

Hyped for Three Billboards. I loved Olive Kitteridge a few years back, another great McDormand performance.

Three Billboards looks really interesting. That's one movie I don't want to miss.
