Film

Jaysus there's a fair whack of them I've never seen. Bookmarked, good stuff

[ldj]

Watched a new film called Triangle of Sadness, a sort of anti-capatalist black comedy, not as good as something like Parasite but still a decent watch.

Every decade the Sight and Sound team asks critics to name the greatest films of all time. Here are the results of the 2022 poll – the largest ever, with 1,639 critics, programmers, curators, archivists and academics each submitting their top ten ballot.

Far too many there I've not seen. But of those I have, I'd happily watch any of them again, so I'm thinking it must be a pretty good list overall!

Having a Quick look at that list..

Numbers 77 and 72, I feel that there are better anime movies out there than those two, bit lazy. 'Citizen Kane' is another lazy and obvious film buff choice.

On the other hand, 'Barry Lyndon' while being overlong is quite engaging all the same.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

It is a film buff list, for sure. I mean, Spinal Tap and The Princess Bride aren't even on there! But it's still a list worth considering. I mean, say what you like about Citizen Kane, but in terms of film making milestones, especially on a technical cinematography and narrative level, it is absolutely worth seeing for anyone who hasn't.

[astfgyl]

Pulp fiction didn't make it either.

Anyway watched the latest batman last night, thought it was decent without having any expectations at all.

Followed up with some shit about a Nigerian asylum seeker in direct provision in Ireland. Was an awful load of bollixing for the hour I saw before I feel asleep in the chair

Don't get me wrong, there are great movies there, just sick of seeing 'Citizen Kane' all the time in these kinds of lists    .

Pulp fiction didn't make it either.

As the years pass by I love Pulp Fiction more and more. First saw it in a small cinema room back then as it was leaving the cinemas. People used to latch on to the soundtrack but there is a clever writing scheme throughout that boggles my mind even now. 'Jackie Brown' is a great one too, very overlooked even though it was based on a book and not a Tarantino story per se.

[Ollkiller]

Jackie Brown is class. But Pulp Fiction is his peak. Such a class flick.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Must revisit Jackie Brown actually. Haven't seen it since my teens.

Watched that 'a patch of fog' last night, but of a made for TV film in some respects. Stephen Graham though, some lad.

That animated Spider-Man show which the young lad insisted in watching was fairly class, the doodling the boys can do nowadays is unreal. Diversity overload and the tedious Nike air Jordan's product placement aside, it's not a bad way to pass a couple of hours.

[astfgyl]

If you mean Into The Spiderverse I also watched that at the insistence of the young lads and thought it was great. Should be another one along soon enough too

[Caomhaoin]

Just confirmed with the lazy bastard fruit of my loins and he said yeah it was the spider verse. Great craic.

[astfgyl]

The animation was class in it and considering it was an alternate timeline style thing it didn't get too convoluted either. I'll definitely get a look at the next one as soon as it's out

[Caomhaoin]

Yeah some of the scenes were outstanding, a triumph for innovative animation.

Next instalment out in 2023.

[Caomhaoin]

An cailín ciúin. Very nice film, poignent and immersive and totally uncontrived. The Irish dialogue seems so natural rather than forced.

I'm nearly sure the fear an tigh is Blackie Connors off Glenroe. Maybe not though.

Edit - No.

Set around the time most of us were born, the attention to detail is excellent.
