I hardly see the point of these films at all. 😄 But that's just me. I guess that years of trying to figure out what David Lynch was saying half the time have left me numb. I don't blame Anderson; he knows his stuff, stages his scenes well, and can extract comedic performances from his usually very talented casts. It's my problem that I am looking for something that isn't on the menu: a key that unlocks Anderson's brain to show me what the bleep he's trying to tell me.
I don't think he's telling us anything. It's like this plate of food served to us without us ordering it. Like it, don't like it, but it means whatever it means to us. Kind of like a low rent Kubrick, and I don't mean that as a slam.
I was thinking about Kubrick too, except that I am a huge fan of his work and suffer none of the same problems with it. Take 2OO1, a film that has frustrated many since 1968 but continues to be my favorite film of all time.
I like your food analogy, @chrisisall. And I will continue to check out WA's movies when they come out. I am simply not yet convinced that I have a good handle on his work--yet.
Man, what an amazing piece of cinema. So genuine, so authentic, capturing the innocence of a time, and the innocent intentions of the greatest of all Boy Scouts.
Watching it again, I do wonder: was one man bigger, or at least, just as big as the title character he played? Christopher Reeve was too perfect. He WAS Superman.
What a lovely film…
Almost spiritual for me (and I am absolutely not a spiritual person.) The fortress of solitude segment is incredibly powerful; combined with Williams's perfect score, that segment moves me to tears every time.
Not as good but very similar to Altman's The Long Goodbye (he also produced The Late Show) about a down-on-his-luck, self-consciously old P.I. played by Art Carney as a man from the '40s, and with a host of allusions to earlier detective films and the tropes of the genre. With Lily Tomlin as his 'kooky' sidekick and many recognizable American TV faces from the era in character parts just having a ball.
I've never seen The Late Show... It sounds interesting and now on the list! Thanks for another recommendation @Feyador
And I always watch the 3hr ABC cut that was released on blu ray. It sure doesn't feel like 3 hours to me. I just don't want it to end...
The definitive superhero movie imo, and John Williams’ score for the film is absolutely mesmerizing. I’m curious which version did you watch? Was it the Theatrical Cut, Directors Cut, or Extended TV Edition?
INVISIBLE LIFE aka A Vida Inisível
The beautiful shots of Rio are in stark contrast here with the dramatic lives of the central characters. Usually a film with so much eye candy isn't quite so raw in its storytelling. Films such as this one also usually do not have such a colourful cinematography.
Also of note, Carol Duarte as Eurídice, what a powerful performance!
I like how Superman 78 still feels epic. Not many other superhero movies can say that, no matter how much action is in them. A post of mine from a couple years ago: We have truly underrated Richard Donner as a director in the movie-going public. He took risks, tried new genres, and learned from his career and mistakes. He’s got classics in action, epic, comedy, and horror. How many other people can say that? Had he not been fired from Superman, he could have helped him and his world go further than where he is now. Enough with Lex Luthor, General Zod and made up villains WB!
Harrison Page is so good in this one.
A really phenomenal piece of film making. Shame it disappears up its own arse in its last 30 mins, but an amazing visual and audio experience in IMAX all the same.
Not at all like the other spy(or Bond) movies but as a new idea, being over the top, being funny and having nice action scenes, I thought it was delightful.
Like watching a comic book adaptation ...but it's original.
Idk, I liked the gimmick
Very Special Guest, absolute LEGEND CYNTHIA ROTHROCK makes DIETER's DREAMS COME TRUE!!!
Cynthia is live on YouTube 1800 Sunday on Robert Meyer Burnett's show.
Yes, I am. I didn't know about that, thank you.
Bob marley one love: i finally hit a movie that is good maybe even great but i am not a huge fan of his music (un like my wife) so the movie is just ok for me honestly this is likely the same as that potential jerry garcia bio pic.. so if you love the music you will love the movie if you dont love the music uhm well at least there is a killer Bee Gees song in the middle of the movie
3/5

I remember watching China O'Brien on release Cynthia was fast. I need to revisit her films, i have started revising Jackie Chan's early films recently.
