SuperBacon Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Just now, LEGIT said: See all this drivel about Indiana Jones and Killers of the Flower Moon getting something like 7 minutes and 12 minutes round of applause respectively at Cannes, is that legit or just an exaggeration? I've no doubt both movies will be good/ great but who the hell stands there and claps for all that time? Nonsense Just like your name it's legit. Cannes has long been known to have ridiculously long ovations, its a tradition. Pan's Labyrinth was clapped for over 20 minutes. Marty should get an hour.

Mad that the measure for how good a movie is is how long an applause it gets. I've clapped for a minute at the football and it feels long. Twenty minutes, fucking hell. Edited May 21, 2023 by LEGIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated that movie, maybe I'm firmly in the category of not being clever enough to 'get' David Lynch's stuff, I don't know. For me the surreal, psychological stuff is good if it has a decent conclusion. Lynch's stuff always leaves me confused and disappointed.

Keith Houchen Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Cannes rolls out the red carpet for the child rapist Polanski and the wife beater Depp amongst others. Like all big award ceremonies/festivals it’s so self congratulatory about the smell of its own farts. Apart when Aronofskys latest masterpiece get the standing ovation, obvs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â See I'm a thicko that doesn't get every little detail of his work, I just let it wash over me like a fucked up dream then later on years down the line rewatch it while reading all the crazy theories. It ends up being two very different experiences and I adore them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted May 22, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 22, 2023 I think part of the reason Fire Walk With Me was so panned on release was about how it related to Twin Peaks in general; they ended the series on a cliffhanger, and then rather than resolving it, Lynch did a prequel to show you all the bits you already knew happened, and stripped away almost all of the campness and charm from the series and just made it an unrelentingly bleak story of abuse and incest. But then, that's what Twin Peaks was, and it's a brave creative choice in and of itself to hold that up to the viewer, to say "the TV show you enjoyed watching was actually this all along". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all so arbitrary is impossible to predict whether they'd hate being the butt of the observation or laud it for its bravery. I reckon the former is generally more likely given their thin skins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) Not sure where to put this, but Tarantino just did a full on hour or so one of his podcasts about the career of Rick Dalton. As a huge fan of OUATIH, it was quite something to listen to Tarantino do a full on career retrospective on that character (and treat him like he was real) Plenty of new writing as well. It's part 1 of 2. Well worth a listen if you love the movie and you can tell he absolutely loves that world. Self indulgent of him? yes absolutely, but I don't care.

I assume that's the Video Archives podcast? I like that podcast a lot, and really enjoyed his appearances on the Pure Cinema pod as well (another great podcast) which sort of made him start his own one with Avery I suppose. I know he rubs people the wrong way and he can be a bit of a dick, but I could listen to him talk films all day long. I've got the book he released recently as well but haven't had a chance to start it. He's an incredible source of knowledge, and I love that he is still as much of a movie fan as when he first started out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there's been a whole section of Twitter basically roleplaying that Rick is real and for some reason a lot of it ended up in my "for you" timeline. There's a whole arse debate on if he supports Polanski.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup it is their new episode as obviously Rick died on Friday. Personally I absolutely love Quentin. Probably the last of the biog filmmakers who can open original films to massive audiences and have people talk about it good and bad. The podcast him and Avery did on STRAW DOGS is on of the best breakdowns of a film ever. Edited May 23, 2023 by Factotum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
