Just finished. Loved it. The ending was fine! The conspiracy turning out to be a lone half sinister, half sad human worked for me. And I don't see any other way it could've gone with Delilah. Looking around her cabin was a joy. The last picture on my camera was of Brian's corpse and climbing gear. That was a bummer of a credits-sequence opener, lol

I don't know, maybe it's because I saw the show first but he seems like an actual human in it, where in the comic he felt like a pretty lame throwaway plot point. And I thought he worked well as the devil on Rick's shoulder. On to compendium 2! I suppose.

I'm waiting for my steam controller to arrive to play but I just watched Jim Sterling's video on the

I didn't care for Concussion (2013) but it seems like a lot of people did so maybe it's worth a shot? I could've just been in the wrong mood. You saw Tangerine yeah?

I just finished the Walking Dead compendium 1 and I'm amazed at how much I prefer the show. Shane and Michonne in particular jump to mind as being handled so much better. Anyone giving Paper Girls a go?

I've read the script and I don't think the new trailer gives anything particularly egregious away..? Lots of quick cuts though so I guess if you honed in and really noticed things then maybe.

I burned through all of Teen Wolf last month. I'm in love. The mythology is deep and interesting and it's so refreshingly not-incredibly-white-straight-and-male. <3 <3 <3 Also I enjoyed this write-up on Crimson Peak.

He does tend to write his giant essays on things that excite him in positive ways, though there's always the occasional "wow, this movie is incredibly mean" for jurassic world or "this movie is so all over the place it fails on nearly every level" for birdman

well the rest of the essay lends more context to this section. i just didn't want to copypaste 15,000 words onto here, lol. again i haven't seen the movie so can't really comment. After previously reading about the church, the anal ending, etc. I was pretty opposed to even seeing it, but this pretty much convinced me. I... don't really see this. He does for sure try to get something out of everything he sees, but I don't think there's a bias toward hollywood production. Yeah, he loves solid straightforward hollywood cinema like Indiana Jones, who doesn't? Especially lately though he seems to be into low-key things rich in symbolism like Under The Skin, Nightcrawler, Ex Machina over something like Jurassic World, which he decimated. his caps aren't exactly enthusiasm for this particular movie, he uses them for things he harshly criticizes too, and for everything. If I understand correctly, the all caps third person character is partly an attempt to keep 10,000+ words entertaining, and partly as sort of an, i don't want to say alienating tactic, but, alienating tactic to keep super casual trolls not willing to actually engage with the text away from the comment section. i am very much in love with Film Crit Hulk though. I just find his feminist/humanist(-not-as-an-anti-feminist-dirty-word) leanings coupled with his well-reasoned deep-dive criticisms/champions of what movies are actually doing/trying to do so compelling and refreshing. Anyway I saw Sinister 2 today and it was pretty great. The villain's weird mechanisms and maneuvering and M.O. are some of the most interesting I've seen in horror in a bit. I think I'm officially done even looking at rotten tomatoes at all

I haven't seen it yet but this was a fun read: http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2015/07/17/film-crit-hulk-smash-kingsman-and-the-maybe-genius-of-non-winking-satire Part of his belief is that Matthew Vaughn and his writing partner Jane Goldman take Millar's misanthropic horseshit and remove/subvert the shittier parts to make something that surpasses the original. I hated Kick-Ass but am interested to see Kingsman now. I saw Neighbors and do not recommend. I'm watching The 100 and I highly recommend.

Yeah, I don't know, overall I dug the finale and disliked everything else, which is the exact opposite of my season 1 feelings. To be fair, I was not into the orphans reveal and Paul's death felt really meaningless, but I dug frank and ray's demises and the Ani/Jordan ending. It's kind of funny that Frank's demise was kind of ultimately caused by how fucking convoluted his storyline was all season. Also I "made" a dumb video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVHWM47Wi-I

I watched Gravity last night and Birdman tonight. Gravity was solid but Birdman was so tonally weird and confusing with its constantly waffling misanthropy and straight-played "satire/parody" I'm in between still chewing on it and hating it to its core.

he can be loud but he's great if you get to know him ^__^ and okay jesus I'm sorry I'll stop the namedropiness been meaning to get into rick and morty. i hear the latest episodes are getting disappointing and more "normal" or less surprising or something tho.

I'm v proud of him and v bummed about its losing the weekend to 5 unoriginal movies :'( #NothingSubtleHere

Tonight I saw and very much enjoyed American Ultra. It's a romance action comedy in that order with solid female characters (KStew and Connie Britton's characters are badass and troubled and great) and some nice trope subversion going on. Its stoner humor is actually fresh, not too in your face, and not HAHA POT POT STONERS FUNNY. The cast is pretty ridic. Jesse Eisenberg, Walton Goggins, Johnny Legz, the aforementioned, Topher Grace, Tony Hale, Bill Pullman. It's middling on RT because half of RT's aggregate is mistaken. I would highly highly suggest plz seeing it this weekend so an inventive original property doesn't get outperformed in the box office by an abysmal sequel to an abysmal adaptation to a fucking video game (Hitman 47) thus furthering hollywood's boring modus operandi. #FullDisclosureMyFriendMaxWroteAmericanUltra #EthicsInMovieRecommendations #KristenStewartGate #IShouldHavePutTheseWarningsMoreProminentAtTheTopPleaseDon'tEmailMyAdvertisers

I saw The Gift last night. Pretty riveting stuff.

I love it so much. The disco ball bedroom heartbeat scene is my favorite movie scene in recent memory. It's just so beautifully restrained and atmospheric, I don't know.

Are we talking about The Signal from 2007 or 2014

a friend made a very silly fashion portrait of me last summer

true, I neglected to re-read and forgot you used language like "elevated to the level of poetry," and was commenting on a thing built in my head, consisting of the rap/poetry talk I've actually heard irl, which is less literal and grandiose[/badsentence]. alchemy also read to me as pretty qualitative since it was presented as the ideal, but i'm rusty and probably wrong and this is silly, my bad. i'm going to get out of this thread until i see ant-man or MMXXL, TTY'allL.

ehhhhhhh, sort-of-science. either way I just thought it was funny to condemn comparisons between rap and poetry in one breath and use a term rooted in chemical protoscience to refer to the elements of cinema in the next. don't get me wrong, i love the usage. sorry i shouldn't have re-started this nonsense.

wait a sec...
