My favorite avant garde stuff I’ve noticed is funny too whether it’s music or film. There’s a nice sense of levity underneath all the dense symbolism and what not in Alejandro’s work.

Yeah it was a lot more fun than I remember El Topo being

Like I said reminded me of Tati and Chaplin of all people a good bit

what fidelio said

"your sacrifice has completed my sanctuary of one-thousand testicles!"

There is no reason why Transmission and LWTUA shouldn’t have been on Unknown Pleasures

It’s top 10 ‘90s crime dramas for sure. Penn gets on my nerves but De Palma always gets the best out of him

I love the character interactions like Kleinfeld with that club waitress crashing his party

Yea he’s goofy in it but Pacino is brilliant and it’s just a really poignant, hard hitting film.

Tbh I was hoping the Coens started to move in a different direction. I love most of their films but after that Hail Caesar it just turned me off to the recent stuff. I have like no interest in Buster Scruggs either haha. Felt like they needed a new approach or something.

Scruggs was really just 5 short films packaged together but I agree about that new direction

greatest 5 year period for studio comedies? I’m thinking it’s between:
1938-1942
1982-1986
2004-2008

Sounds about right

damn no love for 90's comedies like that

90’s has some bangers but I don’t think it has a solid stretch of 5 years

It’s crazy just how dead mainstream comedies are now

‘90s is my third favorite decade for comedy, but like fidelio said the decade was kinda streaky with quality. also, I feel like a decent amount of the great ‘90s comedies were indies, moreso than the ‘80s and ‘00s

that might be true.. but it still hurts thinking of those 90's joints not getting mentioned..

From DePonytailMon that is

80's comedies were so

Cable Guy tho

that live action Flinstones flick is a ‘90s clossic

What the hell happened to Freddie Prinze Jr

yeah it sucks. I remember seeing Step Brothers, Pineapple Express and Forgetting Sarah Marshall in theaters all within like a month of each other

:mystery: haven’t seen him in a live action movie in forever, but he does a bunch of voice work now

me and some broski's used to catch these flicks after school cause I lived a few blocks down from an old local theater haha

Dude I remember when The Dark Knight dropped it was sold out everywhere, so we went to the local joint and it was f***ing live. People were hyped like it was a boxing match during the fight scenes haha

yeah I went to see The Dark Knight like 3 weeks after it dropped and the theater was still packed. crazy
