Bohemian Rhapsody and Black Panther getting nominated for best picture shows how ridiculous the whole thing is. Next they'll be giving a token award to somebody for being in a comic book film...oh wait...

Is Hereditary on the same level of fucked up as Martyrs? I'm not sure I'm ready for another experience like that right now.

not thematically anyway if you can handle your average deaths and decapitations you should be alright with it |

Deaths and decapitations I can handle. Mental torture on the other hand ...
Meanwhile ... The Long Riders Absolutely top notch Western and definitely my fave film about the James-Younger gang. It seems to have fallen through the cracks somewhat these days, between those of the classic era, the Spaghettis and the Revisionists, which is a real shame. And what a great idea to cast actual brothers (David, Keith and Robert Carradine, Stacy and James Keach, Randy and Dennis Quaid and Christopher and Nicholas Guest) for the different families. Great, great film. |

Agreed. Fucking Black Panther was a big deal culturally, but that doesn’t make it a great movie. And no superhero-based comic book film has ever been nominated for best picture before, so that’s SUPER FUCKED UP considering the aforementioned Dark Knight being snubbed. Black Panther was FINE, but that’s it. |

I remember freaking fools out with Man Bites Dog back in the early 90's. That one and Bad Lieutenant always did the trick.

And Anti-Christ. I actually don’t think I’ve seen Martyrs, but I’ve talked about it with people here, and my impression is that, yes, hella fucked up. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a movie as upsetting as Anti-Christ, especially since I watched it with my girlfriend during a casual horror movie binge, and it turned into a really fucking sick, horrid, dream-haunting experience neither of us will ever forget. |

For some reason I thought you'd seen it. All I can say is keep an open mind. Like all of Ford Westerns, it's an origin story, but not about iconic figures (Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday) or events (the gunfight at the O.K Corral) but for an idea of America. So the underlying politics inevitably rub some the wrong way (I'm sure every NRA member has this on their shelf) but a more open mind will hopefully see beyond all that. For me it's the film where Ford proved that a lowly genre film could be the platform for a kind of cinema every bit as intelligent and visually beautiful as anything that was coming out of Europe.

no, we talked about it before when i panned some of the political subtext in the searchers, or maybe it was even way before that talking about stagecoach.
wait, no, i saw it! yes! the whole “undiscovered country” business ha ha ha i remember nothing of it but that bit maybe it was on a shitty disc from the library or something. vague recollections now. hmmm... fuck the “undiscovered” part lol. i live with the injuns. |
