Ryus: good movies i have watched recently

Ryus 01.14.22	swag
robertsona 01.14.22	the big dance sequence in the red shoes is really a showstopper. I love throwing that scene on as background for hangs and seshes texas chain saw is fascinating, such a singular directorial vision with a bunch of weird shit thrown in the nooks and crannies. its relationship to suspense conventions, especially when that girl just keeps runnin n runnin, is interesting. and yet I can't say I love it... I liked olmi's I fidanzati quite a bit but it's been a while and I haven't seen il posto still havent seen aguirre somehow, but it's my lil bro's fav. this is something I wrote in my college paper about Kurosawa's JOURNEY TO THE SHORE: "Kurosawa’s greatest strength, as in Pulse, is still his penchant for exquisite framing. In both films, his characters often seem in a perpetual state of “beholding,” their backs to the camera, frozen in place by what they’re looking at. Whether it be a long-dead husband or a wall of cut-and-paste flowers, the objects of his characters’ gazes are all the more captivating because we have no idea what’s going on between the two of them. Something, gracefully, is being withheld from us." I like Cure and Pulse well enough but something in my response feels not full-bodied enough to say they're great (nor Journey, although I actually think that movie is relatively underrated)
Ryus 01.14.22	nice take on pulse. aguirre is iconic, check it out for sure. it has one of the best opening scene/closing scene combos ever "the big dance sequence in the red shoes is really a showstopper. I love throwing that scene on as background for hangs and seshes" for sure. i have my reservations about the film as a whole, but it's one of the most magnificent scenes in film history easily.

DungeonBoy 01.14.22	have you seen Infinity War though?
Ryus 01.14.22	thanks for the recs sona, im a film noob so i havent seen any of those except the big sleep and some ozu. been rly interested in checking out some tsai ming-liang, i'll prob check something by him next when i have the time
Pheromone 01.14.22	do u have letterbox ryus i almost always forget to use it but its a cool site now i think about it i am dogshit at rating stuff for someone who spends most of my time online on sputnikmusic
Pheromone 01.14.22	watch yi yi omg
robertsona 01.14.22	My Tsai ratings would be Rebels: great, more conventional than the rest, very moody 7.5/10 vive l'amour: haven't seen it in forever but found it surprisingly boring 5.5/10 the river: perfect and amazing and horrifying 10/10 the hole: interesting. too conceptual. very good 7.5/10 what time is it there?: starts to get sentimental here. good movie 7.5/10 goodbye dragon inn: kinda got that new sentimental edge but mixed with an also-kinda-new focus on endurance/duration 7.5/10 the wayward cloud: SO disturbing. kinda better than the preceding ones; kinda unacceptable 7.5/10 i don't want to sleep alone: decent. shot in malaysia which gives it a different feel 6.5/10 face/visage: bad; boring 4/10 stray dogs: I absolutely loved this when it came out but now I think I might find it a bit too pure an exercise in duration, especially when the subject matter is also kind of painful. really majestic 8/10 haven't seen Days The River is the one tho
Pheromone 01.14.22	texas chainsaw massacre is a top 10 film for me
Ryus 01.14.22	nah phero i use rym for all my film needs. "yi yi" is definitely on my list and yeah sona from what i've heard, "the river" intrigues me the most
Pheromone 01.14.22	rym is good for film, esp for finding films, but also kind of really shit for certain ratings
robertsona 01.14.22	Yi Yi should be at the top of your list
Ryus 01.14.22	"texas chainsaw massacre is a top 10 film for me " smae. probably top 3 honestly "Yi Yi should be at the top of your list" noted fellas. have heard only superb things about it
YoYoMancuso 01.14.22	is Yi Yi a movie or a rapper ad lib
z00sh 01.14.22	Eraserhead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre are kino picks. I would honestly recommend Love Exposure but idk if you'd ever have the time and patience to watch it considering its 4 hour length lmao.
robertsona 01.14.22	Yi Yi's a movie it's just the word for the number one in Mandarin repeated. One One. Sometimes on the poster the translation is "a one and a one"
Pheromone 01.14.22	love exposure i really liked back in 2013 but now i remember the plot and it makes me feel a certain way im sure its good still
YoYoMancuso 01.14.22	btw check good burger
WeepingBanana 01.14.22	I like Yi Yi, but Taipei story is more my vibe. I still gotta set aside a whole afternoon and watch a brighter summer day lol
porcupinetheater 01.14.22	Tight fucking movies up in here yo The Red Shoes and Aguirre are the business Czech The Long Goodbye and Diamonds of the Night if you ain’t though peeped those again recent and they brill
Ryus 01.14.22	"btw check good burger" this raises the question, is good burger the thriller of movies love exposure intrigues me, never heard of it but looks wild lmao. adding it 2 my list "Czech The Long Goodbye and Diamonds of the Night if you ain’t though peeped those again recent and they brill" the long goodbye rules. havent seen the other tho
YoYoMancuso 01.14.22	"this raises the question, is good burger the thriller of movies" mitchell johnson - suspense film
Snake. 01.14.22	play threads at your next movie night to forever traumatize the hoes
wham49 01.14.22	some good stuff in here last night I watched In COld Blood and The Boston Strangler. Both are killer
fogza 01.14.22	I found Texas chainsaw massacre really disturbing as a teen. Powerful for a low budget slasher flick
Wildcardbitchesss 01.14.22	Blue Ruin and Green Room for me. Jeremy Saulnier is a master of his craft.
Hyperion1001 01.14.22	fun fact the original TCM is the only good movie tobe hooper ever made and it was probably an accident!
robertsona 01.14.22	Ryus u ever peep hitchcock
Ryus 01.14.22	yep, seen psycho, rear window, and north by northwest. tbh rear window and psycho were good but not great to me. loved north by northwest though
robertsona 01.14.22	Your taste seems more like my brother’s than mine tbh so maybe throw in hausu (1977), memories of murder (2003), harakiri (1962), in the mood for love (2000)…but definitely yi, yi
robertsona 01.14.22	I haven’t seen psycho tbh—among some people I trust it’s not one of the best, though I’ll seen it eventually and maybe soon…rear window intoxicated me as a teen and was exactly what I craved. I mean, the part where he keeps falling asleep? Jeez Louise. Love that movie Never seen north by northwest Vertigo is worth seeing. I love it now after three viewings I think you’d love shadow of a doubt too. Rope is good. Even blackmail from 1928 was good. Notorious is interesting and in some ways incredible and in some ways boring
Hyperion1001 01.14.22	shadow of a doubt is my favorite Hitchcock. check that one out. very understated and possibly his best cinematography/editing.
Hyperion1001 01.14.22	oh shit I didn’t see robertman already rec’d
Ryus 01.14.22	def need to check some more hitchcock
Shuyin 01.14.22	I watched a Korean horror movie called The Red Shoes, it was actually pretty cool. Eraserhead is fantastic, haven't seen the others
Pheromone 01.14.22	rear window best cock
robertsona 01.15.22	I kinda agree yah
bigguytoo9 01.15.22	"cure (1997) dir. kiyoshi kurosawa - ***1/2" This is very good.
Ryus 01.15.22	there was a lot i liked about it but it left me kinda cold
Emim 01.15.22	Pretty sure Fallout: New Vegas has a dlc based off of 7 Good movie and good dlc
TecumsehGargoyle 01.15.22	The Masque of the Red Death is my favorite movie on this list
alamo 01.15.22	check bee movie
CottonSalad 01.15.22	watched Palermo Shooting the other night - Wim Wenders...really good
CottonSalad 01.15.22	also, aguirre is iconic [2]
Ryus 01.15.22	agree
protokute 01.15.22	guys, any film rec for a moderate psychedelic session with shrooms this night?
TecumsehGargoyle 01.16.22	protokute check out Fried Barry
Ryus 01.16.22	i recommend #10
protokute 01.16.22	Ended up watching "The Gleaners and I" from the lady Agnès Varda
protokute 01.16.22	10 definitely seems interesting
robertsona 01.16.22	Perfumed Nightmare sounds nuts. Really like Lino Brocka and Lav Diaz (Lav is a nut) for other Filipino stuff
Ryus 01.16.22	its incredible sona. wildly creative, surreal, and oddly touching film about colonialism/imperialism
