yea, i would agree with all that, the main issue obv being that the vast majority of studios/filmmakers/DPs don't attempt to do this or at least make digital look interesting (IE unsane shot on iphone making the movie more claustrophobic). rian johnson or the guys i highlighted in the images are exceptions obv.

if nightmare alley is still playing when positive test rates are below idk 5% i'll go see it in a theater.

I feel like Nightmare Alley is proof that digital has come such a long way. A noir color film all shot on Alexa 65 and it looks as beautiful, if not more, than most modern films shot on older formats.

didn't see it yet but the trailer looked very waxy and disgusting. not getting my hopes up.

also blown away that people think the tragedy of macbeth looks good. looks like utter dog shit to me. super CGI, super digital, bruno delbonnel should be banned from working.

best looking movies this year were unsurprisingly both shot on film - licorice pizza and the french dispatch.

I was having a discussion with someone about different film formats and why film is superior to digital. This person then claimed that no one can tell the difference. All of these movies have come out in the past fifteen years are in various formats such as:

Tube camera... which I'm not actually sure what it's recorded onto but it's a fun thing to throw in here
DV Tape
16mm
35mm
65mm/70mm
IMAX
iPhone
4K

This should be fairly easy imo. Some of the images might be too recognizable and give it away tho. Anyway, there are between 1 and 3 of each of the above formats in the below images. See if you can correctly guess which is which!!! Will put spoilers for correct answers in second post. Oh wait I can only embed five pics at a time. Hold on. Haven't embedding pics before on here, didn't even know you could do it until now.

Probably, yeah. I can acknowledge that something like Jimmy Neutron is objectively awful in its animation, writing and voice acting, but I still found it subjectively more enjoyable than a handful of "artistic" films on this list. Meanwhile, it's still an awful movie, and it did not take much for the six "artistic" films not in my bottom 5 to be more enjoyable than trash like Jimmy Neutron, Secret Life of Pets 3, Ice Age 3, Despicable Me 3, and at least one other film that hasn't shown up yet and inspired such a bizarre level of animus from me that I think it turned out my longest write-up on this list.

And I would consider 11 of these films to be artistic. Maybe 13, depending on how you classify Soul and Toy Story 4. But there are 11 films that I would say are, despite being animated, either maybe by "outsider" animation studios, or they do not come across as marketed specifically towards children.

lots of weird things in this post

why, though

do you see how bad the landscape is for movies is right now? it'd be nice to have some cinematic literacy develop among the general population. starting in this topic since it is the second topic in a row i've kept up with that makes me weep for the future of movies. not that i don't already do that considering the corporate create-by-committee fuck fest we are being inundated with, whether these topics exist or not, but i have a direct line to you people so this is where i'm starting. i mean, some of you are probably letterboxd film bros who are known among your irl friends as 'the movie guy' and you're telling them that the illusionist and fritz the cat are worse than some brain dead kids movie made in the last five years. you have to use your pull for good, man, not that.

btw i'll link you guys to our 2021 movie awards when they happen. we always do them over on the movies: at the theater board. you guys can get some good recs and a head start on refocusing your movie-watching lens.

I'm sorry, but I DID spend a month watching all of these movies, and I was FAR more entertained by the stupid-ass inanity of Blue Sky/Illumination than the uncomfortable production of Anomalisa/Fritz, or the utter boredom of Boy and the World/Illusionist/one other film that has yet to be ranked.

If an artistic movie provides entertainment on top of being artistic, then I'm more than happy to rank it highly (as I would consider at least two of my top ten). But this isn't some "objective" movie ranking where I'm obligated to rank things highly out of some cinema snob hipster sensibility.

are the rankings you submitted different from your 'objective' rankings?

also... you only consider seven of these forty movies to be artistic?

I get people not liking all the artsy films in the list. What feels off is seeing so many of them go out when there's still so many mediocre generic kids movies left. I don't know, I guess I prefer how the pretentious movies are least trying to do something different.

to be fair, most adults enjoy mediocre generic kids movies (the mcu for example)

Typically I am skeptical of the foreign arthouse movie du jour that critics start stumbling over themselves to praise at the end of the year.

However I must say that this one lived up to and then surpassed any expectations I had. Very dense in a character sense - there are at least six, maybe seven characters who get what I would describe as "Major Scenes." You know, like what would be in an Oscar reel for an actor when the nominees are being announced at the ceremony. Except instead of people shouting in fat suits during some boring Oscar bait period piece, it's actors who give themselves over completely to the material and their scene partners, who seem like real, three dimensional people.

Don't really wanna go into detail about what it's about since I feel like it would give away what happens in the final hour when things hit a crescendo. Sorry.

Anyway it is three hours long and subtitled, of course. You should suck it up and seek it out tho...

arent you thankful for marvel saving cinema zithers

saving megaplex theaters maybe. here in LA we are losing another laemmle theater (small arthouse chain) and lost the arclights (other small chain that showed mixed of blockbuster/arthouse) last year to regal/amc. looks like the hollywood location (with the cinerama dome) is coming back at some point next year though under different management so who knows what that will look like...

need to move back to NYC asap where there's more support for arthouses.

Are you HYPED to see Ryusuke Hamaguchi's Drive My Car? Adapted from the short story written by Haruki Murakami?

I am but it is three hours long and I can't be bothered to turn seeing a movie into a five hour ordeal with traffic added in. Which I feel bad about. If it were playing closer to me I'd go see it.

Here are the last five films to win Best Picture from both awards bodies:

2018: Roma
2014: Boyhood
2010: The Social Network
2009: The Hurt Locker
2005: Brokeback Mountain

All big Oscar players, but I suspect Drive My Car won't have the capital to mount a strong Oscar campaign. It is being distributed by Janus Films who are owned by the Criterion Collection and generally only do very small releases for foreign films or restorations of older films. It is however Japan's submission for Best Foreign Language Feature so maybe it could be nominated or win there.

i don't have a ton of context, only seen the trailer but doesn't she show him her tits and don't they kiss at some point?

Oh yeah forgot about the boobs. They kiss at the very very end. Like literally five seconds before it ends. Also it should be noted that they are both terrible, opportunistic people. Like the ending is kinda nice since you've grown to enjoy spending time with them, it's a super fun movie, you wind up rooting for them, but they're definitely growing up to be Trump supporting boomers and probably gonna have an incredibly unhealthy relationship if it escapes the honeymoon phase. Don't really think this movie is at all an endorsement or celebration of their/her behavior in any way. Not sure if people are really able to understand depiction doesn't mean endorsement in movies anymore though. Something good to keep in mind when watching real movies instead of having Disney brain and needing everything spelled out for you. See it starting on Christmas day in select theaters everyone thanks.

Points out racism toward Italians, but not the anti-asian racism and anti-semitism in Licorice Pizza. Also, an adult leading on a literal minor.
https://www.newsweek.com/licorice-pizza-paul-thomas-anderson-racism-backlash-1659137

The Asian stuff is like ninety seconds of screentime in a 130 minute movie. Jared Leto shows up quite a bit in Gucci, so.... not sure it's super comparable. Also the racist in LP is clearly a buffoon. Would I have put it in if it were up to me? No! Is the movie still incredible? Yes! Hope that clears things up for you.

Also there isn't pedophilia, grooming, whatever, in LP. Anyone who talks about some age gap romance is quite frankly a moron because while he pursues her she keeps him at arm's length and is seeing various other men her age or older throughout the movie. And I have no idea what the anti-semitism thing is alluding to.

Awful movie. Unless you like non-stop exposition, beige/brown/gray/orange color palettes, poorly done action scenes, and for movies to be one act and then like ten minutes of a second act before abruptly ending. If you like that then you probably loved it.

House of Gucci was pretty lame. I liked Driver and Gaga but it felt like the plot was leading the characters instead of the other way around. Jared Leto also made me believe it is actually 100% possible to be incredibly racist towards Italians. Also maybe it was just shitty AMC projection but the movie was so dark/drab looking. Speaking of shitty AMC projection my showing of West Side Story froze for like ten minutes in the middle. Pretty good way to spend $17. We weren't even offered vouchers or anything.

The French Dispatch is pretty good. Not sure if that or West Side Story is my runner-up to LP.

Really want to see Drive My Car but it is three hours long. And with LA traffic it will be a nine hour all-day ordeal. Also need to make time for Benedetta and C'mon C'mon...

Yes. Lots of people getting into wacky high jinks.

I look forward to the horrible discourse it inspires during the Oscar race!

Well, here's the topic.

Only seen 26 movies from the 2020s but it is the best and probably will be until at least Killers of the Flower Moon comes out.

Saw it on 70mm and it was gorgeous. Super funny. Good soundtrack with just one Jonny Greenwood composed piece. Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman would be movie stars in another timeline where anyone gave a shit about real movies. Good cameos from bigger stars like Bradley Cooper, Tom Waits, and Sean Penn.

How did you get tickets for this movie. I was looking for tickets there last night and I didnt show movies for anything past 11/19

i went to their site which looks like its from the 90s and got it there. Starts on thanksgiving I think

apparently its easy to get into a screening which they seem to do every night tho, can just lie about being part of a guild, they apparently dont double check any of this

just remember arcanine - not all critics matter

make sure youre reading the good critics and not the ones who just write stuff for SEO and watch any old garbage to get desperation clicks

justin chang had a good review for example. la times and former variety critic. he's also got a criterion booklet essay in that new boat people blu they announced today.

you can also ignore david ehrlich bc he sucks big butt. richard lawson also pretty annoying.
