I watched “Perfect days” and really enjoyed it.
Funnily enough while watching it thought about the fact that in recent times I’ve seen a ton of great Korean/Japanese movies and basically nothing from my own country Germany. Well it turns out this one was made by Wim Wenders.
Madam Web wasn’t so bad it was funny, just drab
Is that Madam Web related to Spider-Man, or an entirely different Madam Web?
Yes and no.
Madame Web is based on the character of the same name from Marvel Comics, but it does not take place in the MCU, and Marvel Studios was not at all involved in its production.
Madame Web was made by Sony, who still retains the film rights to all Spider-Man related characters. It takes place in the SSU (same universe as Venom, Morbius, and Kraven the Hunter).
Ooh, that…Puts it in context. Also had no idea they were working on a Kraven movie (then again, didn’t realize Madame Web was coming out either).
Kraven looks like a generic action movie with mild superpowers
I recently rewatched the Blues Brothers for probably the 100th time in my life. Normally I can’t rewatch movies very often, but that does not apply to this movie.
I love movies like Airplane and any Mel Brooks film and will always laugh my ass off watching those types of films. But the Blues Brothers just makes me happy when I watch it. The only other movie that comes close to giving me the same feelings is The Sandlot.
Fools Paradise. I loved it. Thought it was beautiful, subtle, and weird.
I was absolutely shocked how poorly it has been received. I think most people completely missed the point of the movie.
Are you a fan of Charlie Day stuff, or did you go in more off the ideas of it? It sounds interesting skimming the Wikipedia page on it.
I’m a big fan of Always Sunny, but not much outside of that.
My take on it is this: it’s a movie about being a nobody with small, kind of pedestrian life goals, in a time when everyone is trying to be famous and we are inundated by media and celebrity. Everyone in the movie tries to make themselves the main character, except for the actual protagonist.
The most essential question of the film, at a literal and existential level, is this: who is this story about?
That sounds pretty appealing tbh. Thanks for elaborating on it!
Got some good conversation going on American Fiction. Also enjoyed talking about Lisa Frankenstein.
Diablo Cody stated that Lisa Frankenstein is set in the same fictional universe as Jennifer’s Body.
…Did it carry those vibes after all this time, if you’ve watched Jennifer’s Body before?
I would say so, yes. It’s definitely its own thing, but I was reminded of Jennifer’s Body plenty of times while watching It.
Just got done watching The Zone of Interest, which was brilliant. Never will you see a more mundane Holocaust movie, and I mean that as a compliment. Truly brings to mind the phrase “the banality of evil”.
Also loved Anatomy of a Fall, which was amazing. Great writing, great performances. Excellent movie, all round.
I’m really looking forward to watching it, however i feel like a movie with a topic like that requires the proper time and mindset. And so far i haven’t quite found the time for it yet. But so far i’ve only heard good things
Yeah, you need to be ready to pay full attention, but it’s worth it.
The sound design is amazing, so get the best audio setup you can muster.
