YOJIMBO (dir. Akira Kurosawa, 1961)

Two images from Yojimbo, a play on the “call an ambulance, but not for me” meme

especially when it's a thread between people I don't follow with very little engagement already. people aren't as used to randoms replying here because most they're used to only being seen by Followers or if they get on Discover, which is rare for smaller posters.

Lots of "content" out there, lots of things competing for attention, and the bad initial reception probably put folks off it, unfortunately. I'd be happy to meme it into Bluesky movie canon, however. Edward Cullen, suicide bomber.

sometimes I want to talk with people I see in the movies feeds because they're thinking deeply about a movie, but also all the things they think are so reductive I'm afraid I would come off antagonistic.

Mickey 17 no context

Luigi Mangione in an orange prison jumpsuit, angrily yelling towards the camera and looking righteously angry

Uncle Baby Billy from Righteous Gemstones, as played by Walton Goggins

He’s a white man about 50 years old with bleached white hair, unnaturally tan skin, unnaturally white bright teeth, and big 70s style gradient sunglasses. He’s wearing a light pink suit and he is a televangelist.

TikTok Pink Sauce bottles multiplied and cover the image

Mickey 17 would've done better if it had used more colors than gray.

The Comrade Josh bit is also funny because it's a familiar situation in an unfamiliar context. The burnout revolutionary is having a Karen crash-out! The radical sect has a code-word for "I want to speak to the manager!" It's like how some works turn Hell into the DMV.

some things are so obvious you can't believe you missed it, like of course Pat's name is an anagram of PTA

whole other post to be written about the cars in the first 1/2 of obaa--the taurus, the olds wagon, plus smith's '68 mustang (same year as bullitt's), gorgeous and certainly the only pantheon Classic--pta lingers on it, and having smith change it to a swagless 2013 for the chase is a cool choice

I will have to disagree, Max! Those cars are wonderful but the best one was the 1968 Shelby GT 500. I almost had to support the Christmas Adventurer’s Club. As a Detroiter, I clutched my chest when it came on screen. It was so pretty.

“They acclaimed aria and actor, they booed the fifth act in order to stop the performance, and the delirious crowd [hurled itself] out of the hall—into history.”

Seems pretty dumb to schedule an opera about revolution in honor of a king tbh!

Del Winters @absolutereality.blog · 7h

Hmm I can see the idea, but to me a revolutionary movie should be revolutionary in intent.

What does it mean to make a revolutionary movie? Is it possible? If revolutionary art in any medium is possible, what are some examples of it? Politically revolutionary, not revolutionary in form or technique.

If someone — say a mod — follows over 3,000 accounts, it’s safe to say they don’t deeply care about seeing every post made by every account they follow. I’m close to 300 follows and I still see only a fraction of those posts.

I took a day trip to NYC to see it in IMAX 70mm and VistaVision

Del Winters @absolutereality.blog · 11h

Cover for Brandi Carlile’s album Bear Creek. A creek runs through an evergreen forest.

VistaVision looks amazing, you’re in for a treat

However, you can’t ignore the French 75’s first act is to free people from detention centers. It’s not a flat “this is wrong, this is right” didactic message.

Radical community support, radical solidarity, radical call to be less selfish? Yes, yes it is that. I appreciated the movie more on my second viewing because I could meet it on its own terms.

Claymation Comedy of Horrors (1991)

Emmy-winning Claymation short in which a pig and a snail sneak into the castle of Dr. Frankenswine, where a huge gathering of monsters is being held. Swell Halloween viewing with really impressive stop motion animation.
