Actively trying not to destroy the world is a helluva job.

YES. I am amazed by how the desire not to derogate from a certain principle leads some ostensibly principled people to ridiculously stupid and untenable takes which only fuel the rightful critisisms of them as delusional.

It'll be like the Heidecker interview, where the interviewee will be unabashedly attacking the things that constitute the essence of the interviewer, but the latter will go to great lengths to not notice this.

I think Chapo may be perceived as antithetical to this website's anti-vulgar sensibilities, and an uninspiring interview could create a very wrongheaded impression of them. To be honest, it was a bit surreal seeing it on the year end's list of podcasts, but clearly it's been gaining popularity among podcast listeners.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Creepy is very cool and frightening, not on par with Cure, but still retaining a strong sensibility and masterfully shot. Kurosawa is still one of the masters of long shot compositions and staging in depth.

That's actually a quite predictable turn - a guy who is superficially rebellious but whose true preferences lie in the sphere of hard orthodoxy. Quite easy to map out a conflict that way.

He's a pope that fucks!

Imagine how much clout Eddie Murphy had in the early 1990's that he could convince so many people involved in making movies and producing images for popular consumpiton that Boomerang was a good idea.

Doctor: "Sooooo you have the only curable form of pancreatic cancer and 10 billion dollars at your disposal"

The 00's are back.

It's funny how we got new music from Bowie sooner than we got new music from Prince, who was notorious for having a vault where he dumped tons of material.

I can't help but compare it with Hell or High Water, which can be also categorized in the current cultural landscape as an ''adult'' film. Hell or High Water felt well-executed and almost architecturally thought-out, but it left me absolutely cold with its smart and calibrated administering of empathy. This one just…

Sweet Smell of Success is a fuсking masterpiece. So much verve in dialogue, so much passion in camerawork and insight into the complexity of familial and communal relationships in the age of capital, mass media and hyper-individualization. Burt Lancaster's performance is just….wow.

This is not healing me.

This is violence.

Film critics are so anxious about legitimizing horror films they don't care if they are actually frightening.

Didn't Lobster come out in 2015? This is another film that everyone seemed to have seen in 2015.

I feel like we've been talking about Green Room for two years now…. a little bit odd to see it on the 2016 list.

This, or the "He's Alive" episode with Dennis Hopper. Either way, he gravely misinterpreted the lessons.

hahaha I actualy ignored the movie's plot entirely and focused on a single scene from which I then deduced all kind of philosophical nonsense
