Eh, who cares about account transfers or design or archive issues. I just want to know

There's a statue of Benedict Arnold's broken leg at Saratoga, though he's not named. Literally, it's just his leg.

That ending only makes the whole thing ickier for me. It ends with a big sweeping pan across cheering soldiers and swelling music. If anything, it's pushing the propaganda even harder, not undercutting it. The film might acknowledge that is a fiction, but it does nothing to counter or even complicate the underlying…

Psst… Ang Lee's first two movies (Pushing Hands and The Wedding Banquet) were both Taiwan-financed but set in/around NYC. The Ice Storm is just his first white people (non-British edition) film.

Complete with King's Landing's famous… mesas?

I get why the characters see it that way, just not why any viewer would see this as magic rather than a near-death experience.

Why does everyone read Euron's recovery as proof of the Drowned God's providence? In any other show/film, a scene in which an unconscious man was dragged out of water, lay limp on the ground for a few seconds, then coughed up water and gasped for breath wouldn't be interpreted as the direct intervention of some god…

I recently got to see Jean Renoir's last film, The Little Theatre of Jean Renoir, at a rare screening. Moreau has a 3 minute bit where she sings an old French song. At first it's just a static shot of a pretty woman singing a pretty song on a stage, but halfway in Renoir moves in to a closeup. The lines of age on her…

I mean, I don't actually know how their contract negotiations went down, but Tyene, the survivor, is the only one who was getting naked during the previous seasons.

Note that the one Sand Snake who survived was the one who didn't demand a no-nudity clause.

If Games of Thrones were a 16-bit game, this New-ron would be less Ramsay and more a palette swap of Oberyn.

Though have you ever wondered why we don't have pictures of food in most US restaurants, especially the fancy ones? Or why so many advanced culinary terms are presented in French or Italian? The US (and a lot of Europe) makes it hard for people not in the know to order food.

And while Wonder Woman is a handsome enough movie, it's got nothing on Malick/Lubezki, as is obvious comparing the two trailers. Action and superheroics aside, the only shot with composition/lighting that resembles something out of a Malick film is that of Gadot walking through the Louvre. Whispery monologues and jump…

I don't think Suzuki shot chronologically. Rather, he and others (like John Ford) edited "in camera" or in their heads. That means they didn't shoot coverage, where you shoot one scene repeatedly from multiple angles, then pick out the best moments from each and edit it together. Instead, they stopped and moved the…

Apparently Worthington suffers from severe depression, so I feel bad making fun of him.

Honestly, catering to grandparents ain't the worst strategy to prop up physical media.

Good job picking an actual Sony owned film!

Uhhh… fundamentalist Christians don't watch Ghostbusters because the gatekeeper/key master stuff scandalizes them. They don't watch it because it posits ghosts might be real, which is a heretical attack on their vision of the afterlife.

West of the Tracks is my favorite of that bunch (and the longest?). Moreover, it's clearly cut into 3 very distinct parts and there is reason to watch it all in one sitting.

Unsurprising but frustrating to hear about the Godard biopic, especially as that period of Godard's life really seems like fertile ground for analysis and drama. La Chinoise in particular, is a fascinating transitional film—one that takes the leftist politics seriously, but also recognizes the petty romantic…
