I recently watched Landscapes in the Mist and now I want to see all of his movies. Totally blew me away.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

Silence of the Lambs** won 5 awards from them. It’s a well made thriller that I personally find quite insidiously transphobic. As a cinephile I know I stand pretty alone though.

No Brighter Summer Day :/

@awardswatch pod really went 2 1/2 hours on the movies of 1991 and didn’t mention a Brighter Summer Day one time…

No mention of Emmanuelle Béart in La Belle Noiseuse either.

I was always going to struggle with this 1 bc SotL is transphobic in more ways than one. Bleh.

Golly gosh cripes. I’m at 133. Impressive rigor you have.

Belle Noiseuse is amazing. Béart deserved a lead nom. Prince of Tides stinks. I think Nolte is terrible in it. Bugsy is a bit cliche and erratic, but it’s also pretty hot and perverted. Thumbs up. Peeping Tom is groundbreaking and great, but left me a little unstirred.

The script was nominated for best adapted. Ppl in 1991 really thought, this script that barely makes any sense, that makes all its characters over the top, transparent, and overly forthcoming; that trades in schmaltz and cliche at every turn, is one of the five best of the year.

Watching the Prince of Tides (1991). Nick Nolte got an Oscar nomination. Ppl in 1991 thought “this guy, right here… the one who’s hamming, disconnected toeveryone, not listening, just bulldozing through every scene… he’s one of the five best..”

We didn't deserve this day.

Interesting coincidence

Did you do The Ritz for Awardswatch’s 1976 episode? I didn’t get to that one.

Good stuff! Amazing top 4! YWNRH > Taxi Driver 🤷‍♀️

F&A slapped so hard in 3d and I’ll prob never see it again. Still amazing though.

Coda overturned Chevron Doctrine — politics downstream from culture?

I’m no expert but I believe courts could have put the burden of payment on the federal regulators with “undue burden” (?) precedent. It is bullshit the fishermen had to pay imho but SC didn’t have to cripple fed agencies.

It’s a tear jerker damn. That sound change in the duet is some cool cinema insight on perception. Truck vibration singing also wild. Wasn’t all in on both sides now performance.

Lame romance. Pretty rote blocking. Good performances though.

“Been interpreting for my entire life, this is exhausting!” Is def a heart string.

Good Will Hunting speech. Nice, cool.

Deaf parents are so embarrassing! 🙄

Magic business montage! 🙄

The deaf family is… the villain????? My dad can’t run very easily AND he’s bigoted but he still would have been fine with me in track. The fuh?

Writer need conflict need easily resolvable conflict nom nom

I’m finally watching Coda. 30 mins in.

teacher facilitating romance with a NO-dimensional guy

Sneaky inclusion of scandal that killed Chevron doctrine in the Supreme Court 2 years ago? (Many thoughts…)

Teen sex talk; obvious jokes; cliche afternoon special

Edible kick in, please, best pic wth??

David Simon said it best

I’d seen Presidents Men before but the rest were firsts. Gallipoli would be the first movie on my next slide.

Jonathan, the world's oldest tortoise, has died at 193 years old

He was gay and lived through two world wars and 40 US presidents

51 movies watched in March, casually ranked. Most movies I’ve ever watched in one month probably.

Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Reed.
