The Prestige, The Quiet American (Brendan Fraser!!), and Children of Men
Blame it on Rio clearly the correct answer.

agree. The further I get from it the less I think itâs actually a good movie. I think the importance of the subject caused me to overrate it upon first viewing.

I told my wife Speak No Evil was the most fucked up movie Iâve seen in 2022.
She wants to watch it as soon as she comes home.

Brutal.
Be Henry Cavill.
Leave the Witcher series to finally star in Man of Steel 2.
Shrug when the Witcher instantly recasts him with Liam Hemsworth.
Cry when he hears James Gunn is prolly gonna cancel MoS2.
My favourite Caine is âDressed to killâ, also my favourite of the De Palma pseudo Hitchcock remakes with some added 80s thrash thrown in. Stylistic masterpiece and a lof of fun.
(Being from the 80s it has âproblematicâ representation of all minorities though)
Have we finally reached peak superhero movie? Are audiences getting bored and asking for actual novel ideas yet? Can all the studio money move on to something else now? Please?

I think the wave of âsuperheroes but theyâre actually badâ content was probably the big attempt at ânovel ideasâ and from here it will be a more streamlined mining of the most profitable franchises / brands.
Suck it, Citizen Kane!
When I waited tables in SF, I worked with this hostess who would literally make everyoneâs jaw drop when they entered the restaurant - male, female, old, little kid - didnât matter. At the company Christmas party she made out with a waitress in the middle of the dance floor.
I talked her into going to see Vertigo with me on what probably wasnât a date, but you never know. When we got to the theater she saw they were also showing Bound and showed a ton of interest. I said I really wanted to see Vertigo. She acquiesced.
She fell asleep like 15 minutes in. I was bored to tears the entire movie.
I am a fucking idiot. Iâll never know if Bound would have gotten her blood going and led to something.
Anyway Iâm sure Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles is just riveting fucking fare. So much interiority and pathos! FU movie snobs.

I like Jeanne Dielman but to call it the greatest film ever made is the height of snobbish criticism and why people hate movie analysis. Citizen Kane invented much of modern movie language. JD does no such thing. Itâs also very slow, light on plot, and very long. Itâs a movie 98% of the public would loathe.
I do like the greatest movie ever is about sex work though!
I was listening to a podcast about this yesterday. Have fun spending 3 and a half hours watching some lady cook potatoes, I guess.

God it looks exactly like Iâd expect. I bet itâs the French Ordinary People.
Why canât the Germans make good movies? I mean other than scat porn of course. Not that thereâs anything wrong with that. No shaming.
Iâve never seen it, but Iâm familiar with it from watching Cinefixâs YouTube channel. They used to make some really cool âtop 10â movies lists that werenât really top 10 lists. But recently they were bought by IGN and just started remaking a lot of their old lists.
Although I just looked at their channel for the first time in a while, and it seems like they have some new videos, so maybe I will check them out.
Itâs worth watching JD. Itâs a good movie if you are in right mind set. It is considered a feminist landmark which largely explains its new seat at the top.
This is a good explanation.
