Comics and books are really the only thing I need to buy. Digital versions are cool just so you don't go broke but there's no replacement for the real thing.

I last watched TRUE LIES (1994) on VHS :) (Recorded from analogue cable)

Nice, complete with commercials?

You buy DVDs like Fred Durst?

Wait were DVDs popular in 1999?

Pretty sure I bought The Matrix on DVD.

I thought that DVDs were videogame versions of movies when I was a kid, like it was a new type of PlayStation or some ****.

Been sick the past few days, watched through a series called Hip Hop Evolution that goes through a detailed look into how hip hop started and how it's changed. It was really good, very well done. Probably revealed things that have never been documented before.

Just watched Punch-Drunk Love. So ****ing good. Paul Thomas Anderson's use of colors is spectacular in that film. Also far and away my favorite Sandler performance to date (although there isn't much competition there).

You prefer the older, more somber Sandler to the oaf from SNL and Billy Madison? He's gotta be my favorite Jew LOL.

I would say I'm definitely more inclined towards his serious performances after being burnt out on so many horrible comedic ones (even the alright ones lose their kick after awhile- there's only so many times one can watch Happy Gilmore). I heard he was good in The Meyerowitz Stories too and that coupled with the interesting dialogue direction in that film will likely lead me to watching it in the future.

And mother****er I mixed up Paul Thomas Anderson with Wes Anderson for the quadrillionth time. Gotta stop mixing my pretentious Andersons up.

One of my top PTA picks. It pairs nicely with Spanglish if you ever wanted to do a Sandler double-feature.

You recommend Adam Sandler movies to soccer moms?

Sandler was great in the film but the majority of the reason I enjoyed PDL was because of Anderson's directing. I'm skeptical of Spanglish cause I don't know who the director is and I've lost my trust in Sandler to blindly trust his performance.

Venom
 

I wanna have a Wes Anderson marathon this weekend.

I need to see Isle of Dogs.

Great film. Little pretentious but that's to be expected.

^have yet to see it but I'm craving either Royal Tenenbaums or Darjeeling Limited. I love both.

I like most Wes Anderson movies, but Grand Budapest Hotel and The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou are my favorites by far.

Is...is this...is this something we agree on? Oh happy day. Both solid movies. The Life Aquatic is also a personal favorite.

:beer:

I think both just nail that Anderson quirk in a way that makes both great feel-good movies.
Plus Willem Dafoe's character in both movies cracks me up every time.

I prefer his brother Eas.

I just enjoy his directing style. Every movie I've seen of his always feels like a moving art piece in the best way.

I probably like all of them too. Might have mised one or two. That's probably something I should check up on.

But yeah, he's got a style of his own. It's incredibly visible in Grand Budapest Hotel. All those straight lines in corridors and rooms makes it really visible how he alway pans the camera sideways or zooms it, but never ever changes the angle even a little in any one particular shot. There's a very distinct rhythm and feel to his movies.

Hoping to catch Suspiria tonight- fingers crossed I can talk my bf into it

Tell him I called him gay.

I had no idea there was a remake out until just now.

I wouldn't have known either without Bob telling me!

He knows I'd actually love him more if he were queer.

Now I’m jealous that you’ve heard from bob.

Tell him I said he was from Uzbekistan.

Lol, we try to keep in touch. We dont live far from each other so I typically see him 3-4 times a year.

Lucky. I've never met a single person from this joint in real life.

I was excited about it for a while personally then heard from two other sources that were really excited for it that it sucked so I never went to see it.

Winter Sleep

Director: Nuri Bilge Ceylan
Country: Turkey
Genre: Drama
Year: 2014
Running time: 3 hours and 5 minutes

Been putting this one off for a long time. I mean, look at the run time ffs!
Turned out to be a really interesting movie. It's 99% dialogue driven and so gripping that the 3 hours almost fly by if you're in the right sort of focused mindset when you watch it.

I'm not gonna bother with any kind of synopsis. We've got IMDB for that: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2758880/

Basically, the movie is incredibly beautiful to look at, superbly acted and finds a balance between the serious and the humorous. It also manages to be a somewhat patient movie, without ever feeling slow. Don't fear for long passages of nothing happening, because the movie has none of those. But individual scenes do tend to be very long. If two of the characters sit down to talk, don't expect the scene to end for the next 10-20 minutes.

I thought the dialogue in the movie was incredibly realistic. It really captures how people miscommunicate, hold grudges and fail to really see their own behavior for what it is. The entire plot is centered around the slow development of one arrogant man who dismisses the idea that he's doing anything wrong and belives his self delusion to be self insight. But don't think that it's a pretentious film. It just understands humans very well and takes a long time being incredibly observant about it.

Much recommended. Mondo would probably dig it.

You got a car. I don't. I'll bike for as long as I can but you're gonna have to meet me 367/400ths of the way.
