Boy, I thought the year’s first Fahrenheit 451 adaptation missed the point of the original, but it’s got nothing on this one. 

Family Plot is underrated and she’s the best part of it, and it’s no small feat to own a movie that also has Bruce Dern and Karen Black in their prime. Nashville also really depended on her to make that ending as effective as it could be, and she crushed it. RIP.

Best of luck, Ignatiy. You had an absolutely stellar, inspiring run here.

I don’t know who the rest of the hundred are and why wouldn’t they necessarily agree, but regardless, no one here ever set out to “prove” anything to you. Ignatiy expressed his opinion as a critic, me and some other people here supported him when you challenged that opinion. But since you yourself don’t seem to have…

Well, you have now. You’re welcome. 

Broad awareness/popularity has nothing to do with this. All your movies don’t need to be blockbusters in order for you to be talented. And his work in Paterson was one of the most critically praised performances of 2016.

Paterson. Silence. Midnight Special. While We’re Young. 

Gary Oldman in Harry Potter and the Batman films.

You can check his bylines at Filmmaker Magazine for some reviews of quality cinema. He’s a great writer who just happens to have an (un)healthy fascination with the output of Pure Flix, D’Souza and the like. 

Been making my way through the work of Yasujiro Ozu, with 7 films currently seen in chronological order. Following the very enjoyable I Was Born, But..., it’s been an interesting but challenging journey through his dramas; my reaction to An Inn in Tokyo, The Only Son, and There Was a Father amounted mostly to detached…

Maika Monroe’s career has not been going where I hoped it would after the one-two punch of The Guest and It Follows. 

All Inception did re: contorting cities was one short scene of Paris folding. Doctor Strange goes much further in its first 5 minutes alone, and then keeps going. 

Gollum aside, there’s next to no mo-cap in LOTR. The orcs and elves are people in suits/make-up.

It was one of the highest grossing movies ever in the U.K. when it came out.

There’s a good chance that Oscar was going to Russell Crowe before he attacked that paparazzi or whoever it was with a phone. Denzel was fantastic in TD though, so it’s hard to complain. 

He did it in Fences less than two years ago.

So were Jodie Foster, Juliette Lewis, Winona Ryder, and Cate Blanchett who won. And Ellen Burstyn took Best Actress for Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore.

Great write-up that makes me want to revisit this one again. I’ve seen it two or three times and it’s hella watchable and entertaining of course, but it’s never really escaped the shadow of Goodfellas for me.

In this particular case I think Rabin himself would only welcome it.

Appreciate you taking the time to ask him about Down with Love, I watched that last week and couldn’t believe how good it was. It’s a buried treasure, an utter delight from start to finish. Between that movie and Bring It On, I really hope Reed directs a full-scale musical at some point (I’m surprised he hasn’t…
