Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring.

!@#$%! · 01.05.2018, 12:51 AM

WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?

i’ve never seen this as a play but this is the third time i see this movie and it keeps getting better on rewatch.

the cinematography and editing on this were fantastic. not in the oh-so-spectacular shit one usually waxes about, but the almost invisible fabric of visual choices here were done in the service of drama, not the cinematography itself. it’s just fucking brilliant! it has many of the best closeups ever. the cuts— what cuts! the precision. just.... jeezus f. ape. what a great movie— as a movie. i mean, it’s filmed theatre, but a completely different level.

i still can’t make exactly what the play is about, not completely, having skipped most criticism and commentary almost on purpose, but every rewatch shows a new great facet of this thing and the creatures that live in it.

My favorite one by far, and the only one of the movies that I think truly nails the essence of its book counterpart. Fellowship is also my favorite book of them all. Good stuff.

I'll finish off the other two in due time. I have a lot of my watchlist on Netflix leaving soon, so gotta get those first.

What gets me is that the LotR: Fellowship extended edition credits are literally 28min long.

tw2113 · 01.05.2018, 10:06 PM

That said, I should seriously consider reading the books.

What the fuck man?

The books are WAY better than the movies. More entertaining and more interesting. Movies are good adaptations, but all but Fellowship screwed the pooch as far as really embodying the spirit of the book. All that fear of unseen but all-powerful evil... they really nailed it on Fellowship.

ilduclo · 01.06.2018, 09:47 AM

Saw 3 Billboards outside of Ebbing yesterday. Great acting and some humor. McDormand was stunning in it. A few oddities in the writing, but, all in all, a pretty high recco.

Just never came up. I wonder if I can find copies without all the movies branding/marketing/pictures. May need to stop by Barnes n Noble later.

I don't think I've still seen Return of the King. I've seen the other two LotR movies though, not in their extended editions. I seem to do this with some trilogies. I saw the first Matrix on home video, saw the second in theaters, and it took me awhile till I finally saw Revolutions.

Also fits in the "reading thread", but i haven't started reading them yet. Just purchased the copies. Very specifically went with non movie-branded versions as well.

Dellamorte Dellamore

Oddball horror by Michel Soavi that I think is called Cemetery Man in the US. I'm a big fan. Admittedly the acting is seriously terrible (even by Italian horror standards) but its overall weirdness ultimately sees it through.

ilduclo · 01.09.2018, 05:36 PM

Dunkirk, pretty poor. Soundtrack just awful, acting hammy at best. Another "war movie by someone who's seen a lot of war movies"

This one was much better

what.

Shut the fuck up, you’re trolling. You are a ridiculous person if you’re not trolling. Last thing anyone can call Dunkirk is a war movie by someone who’s seen too many war movies.

That would be, like, Thin Red Line, Saving Private Ryan, Blackhawk Down, etc. not bad, but positively devoid of anything actually *new* or any exciting/revealing perspectives on war itself (or filmmaking). You’re making it sound like another sappy hero story, and it’s absolutely nothing of the sort.

Dunkirk is an entirely different kind of beast and if you actually disagree then I don’t believe you’ve seen it.
