its like if you're really going to hate oasis you can't just start hating with 'be here now'. you have to commit to your hate. it's like hating only the late u2: fuck that.

anomalisa is a great title for a mediocre mid-90s indie record
dlh's thing on youth and esl kinda makes me want to see it, or at least make a movie that uses the same trick to some effect

Anything with "today's comedy superstars" US version - people I generally find unfunny (Louis CK, Tina Fey, The Amy's Schumer and Poehler) ---everything I've seen them in up to now a resounding dud so no thanks.Anything by Lanthimos"Anomalisa" was a real chore.

obv non-native english speakers direct movies in english all the time. feel like writing movies in english is at least rarer but of course there is nothing silly about that either. it can just be noticeable is all, and when your leads have voices as distinct and culturally situated as michael caine and harvey keitel it's more noticeable. you sometimes see a milder version of this quality when yanks/brits write for brits/yanks.

Youth was so wack
― anglos with derpy phasis (wins), Monday, 7 March 2016 12:19 (eight years ago) link
Youth and A Bigger Splash are both showing at the local arthouse but they both sound so boooring. Youth in particular and not even a Maradona cameo can make it appealing.
Anomalisa is great and everyone should watch it btw

Kinda looking forward to nu-Malick. Partly because I haven't caught anything he has put out at the cinema so I didn't get annoyed. Plus the new one has good post-cinema conversation potential.

High Rise (Ben Wheatley, 2015) - say no to adaptations of unfilmable books. Can see why greats like Nic Roeg left this alone for a guy who I see has directed television to pick up.

lol at being bothered to research Wheatley enough to know this, but not bothered enough to consider his actual film work.
But hey, it's the negative thread so carry on as you are. Sadly I can't think of any more current things to hate on, I'm sure I will be back soon though.

Wasn't doing "research", just looked at a couple of wiki pages.
While everyone else wasted their time on British cinema I watched Manoel De Oliveira's last film. A real, proper film.

Wiki tells me it's from last year but it just came out hers.
Do we have a thread listing examples of the turner and hooch/k9 phenomenon? Feel like every message board must have one. And it is a bank holiday.

I think we did have a thread for something of the sort, but can't for the life of me think what it would have been called.

Start a new one anyway! If someone else remembers they can link it up, but it's probably from 2003 or something.

And actually I think I might just be thinking about 'animal versions of buddy cop movies' (b/c of the examples you used) rather than 'two films about the same thing coming out at the same time'.

Lots of docs like this - I mean I'm sure its fine but it could also be a 20 min segment on BBC News 24.
Anyway, a lot of 'this will be in Storyville in six months' and then its on it and I won't watch anyway.

yeah, one of the worst things about almost all television is overactive narrators, especially when they're supposed to be funny/cheeky/zany. for example, there are many horrible things about Love Island, but deleting the narrator is the single thing you could do that would most reduce the suffering of watching it, or passing through a room where it's on.

This is quite late but I did see a trailer for Maestro before Fallen Leaves some weeks ago and had a real "who in the world would be interested in this?" reaction.
Also, currently discussed on the anti-semitism thread, had one look at One Life poster at a bus stop and that was enough to know this was going to be one to avoid.
