>Whimsical comedy. Last watched this in SD on TV over two decades ago. Not actually a family movie, despite that fantastic production design. Looks incredible, LL Cool J's character is hilarious and Gambon's character is amusingly deranged. The rest of the cast just have very underdeveloped and annoying characters who spend most of their screentime testing annoying toys and who don't really need to exist-this is Gambon's story. That said, this looks fantastic and it's wonderfully whimsical and quite funny at times-not commercially viable in any sense but the 50 million budget is on the screen. Really, really good!

If I had to choose one of the actresses, I'd go with Milano no doubt, she's an absolute babe; I also like Combs of course. Honestly, I need to rewatch more seasons to fairly rank the characters beyond personal attraction.

I probably don't understand what simping means anymore. It used to mean a guy donating tons of money to a girl online in hopes of building a romantic connection. Now having a non-hostile attitude towards women gets called simping?

I'd say simping could mean investing a lot of resources (time, money, emotions) into a woman that doesn't care for you romantically or is using you for selfish purposes, though I also think simping could mean overidealizing a woman. Watch Scarlet Street for more info on the topic.

I almost made a new thread but I decided to share my thoughts with you instead, I guess for visibility's sake but it is a matter of artistry. I'm watching this film Sideways right now because an anon mentioned it in another thread yesterday and it's been a great, very comfy and suitable movie for my sunday morning. The thought that popped into my mind once again was the matter of soundtrack. Lately I've noticed that I could tell a movie has a great soundtrack in the first 5-10 minutes (assuming that time doesn't simply include the intro and central theme). I've been correct on The Conversation and Roman J. Israel Esq. if my memory serves me well. And there was another old movie with some nice jazz songs in it but I forget the name. Would you say (even in a big commercial movie) that it's true that you can tell the quality of the soundtrack within the first few scenes? Or am I just moved by the bait that hangs there when the audience is supposed to be capture in the beginning? Either way, it feels fucking great to just listen to the music as they put on a transitory scene where the characters change place sitting in a car or the ambient scene of the last hour of the night after a long hard evening.

>You can tell from the opening credits alone.
Isn't that so! What causes that? The director's ingenuity or the fact that it actually is some famous composer who's done a lot of work who you don't simply know about? People know about John Williams and Zimmer but there's gotta be quite the wizards out there doing small but quality gigs. It makes good movies so much more memorable. Sometimes I can't even concentrate on the music on some first watches. I prefer quiet ambience to pop songs or anything with vocals. Some of this Netflix shit that I've seen like Stranger Things or The Queen's Gambit is just filled with these pop songs that play for 20 seconds for no other reason than the director's fart huffing and cheaply manipulating the dumbfuck audience.

Smug shit takes don't stimulate proper answers. But since you're asking for one I will say it.
I personally like his films because of his cultivated style and his tenure as a genuine auteur. What do I mean by this? The way he spearheaded modern filmmaking outside of the studio system, his preoccupation with human truths (both material/historical and spiritual), and how he expanded to TV movies when television was becoming hegemonical; because he saw it as it was, a tool maybe more powerful than the silver screen to reach to the audience.

I made myself laugh hard one time by thinking about how it would sound like if there was a giant silent meat grinder and a hundred deaf people fell in it at the same time.
Anyway, been on the usual cinematic drought. Likely lack of exercise has given me brainfog like usual. It's too chilly outside. Take every opportunity to exercise /film/. Keep your minds clear for cinematic adventures.
Still thinking about A Pool Without Water. It's memorable to say the least. Viva la Wakamatsu.

That's rhetorical btw, because it's painfully obvious you are. Rosselini's appeal is not WW2 or relationships, it is REALISM you fucking faggot.

Already posted 13 times and the 14th gave me a three day spanking. Resetting my router doesn't change IP for me, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. It's a DHCP connection or whatever but I'm too much of a dumb baby to figure it out. Have reset router config too.
Off to watch a Ki(ta)no joint (Brother)

Is this worth watching? Read about it and people treat it like some spiritual revelation.

Her music makes me want to vomit and die and never be alive again. I'd even prefer stanwyck's singing to hers.

Weak. Barbra Streisand... and Other Musical Instruments is one of the greatest albums of all time.

She could sing? Thought they dubbed her in Ball of Fire.

Joyce Ames was cute as a button and the huge height difference between her and Tommy Tune made their dances together especially delightful.

Personally I love babs but I'm not big on her singing. Might've sounded a bit better to me if they bumped the key up 1-3 semitones.

The soundtrack is indeed incredible, the film is just ok at best. So just listen to the soundtrack album.
