Wow, looks like you got a warning... If you can't play nice in the sandbox, maybe just sit this one out. Thanks.

haha, I'm not coming for Americans here, but it looks like Kelly finally found some competition over in Seattle.😬

Same here, it's a classic... I honestly forget the plot every single time, so I end up watching it like it's my first time seeing it anyway.😁😁

Sympathy is really the only true part of the trilogy, mostly because it works as its own standalone thing. Park even admitted the whole concept felt a bit forced at first and he wasn't actually aiming for a trilogy when he started. Personally, I dig Mr Lady the most—it’s raw and unpolished, just pure grit 😁...Oldboy is basically perfect, which almost makes it feel surreal, if you can call that a flaw 😁...Lady acts as the bridge between the previous two films and serves as the ultimate commentary. It’s technically flawless and great in its own right, but it still relies heavily on the other two

Is that the part where Kurt pops a bottle of champagne and everyone loses their minds? 😁 😁...
...
Anyway, if I had to pick some favorites... and I actually want to... 😁they'd definitely be 'Spinal Tap' (hilarious and somehow true despite the madness) and 'Almost Famous' (which is really just a love letter to music)... though I could also throw in Crowe's 'Singles' because of Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, and that whole 'Citizen Dick' vibe 🙏... just a bunch of good stuff 😁

Aha, so why lie about it? You clearly already grabbed it. 😁😁
...
Bryan Torres, how many people actually show up to your workshops? And does anyone stick around after they're done?

Bryan Torres said:...I have no clue where those diplomas ended up. They were just sitting on a shelf because nobody ever showed up to claim them, so there were a few left over...
Eh, I wouldn't know if they're still at the club or what...
We'll have to check, but I'm going to need your actual legal name to look anything up...

You mean blueranger12's real name? No clue, I only know him as blueranger12.😁 😁...
And I wasn't even hanging out with you guys; I was over at the Lincoln Center. Besides, back then they weren't handing out diplomas, and as far as I know, they aren't really doing that now either. :-)

Are people actually handing out diplomas here? Back home, nobody ever does anything...😁

Gerald Barrett25 said:Zeljko... bless you... what's the end goal here? Just wondering... are you trying to be a critic or a filmmaker?

To me, it looks like he landed a job at a local paper and now he's just spinning his wheels because he has nothing left to say.😁😁

I haven't seen the movie and I'm not planning to, but this whole thing makes me want to skip the book too 😍 😍

Come on, she’s not that bad... maybe her work lacks a bit of clarity, but Peterlić is a pretty down-to-earth guy... I still remember him from those old shows on NBC... besides that, it's obvious you haven't read anything by Hrvoje Turković ;-)

Zeljko, you should probably pick up Peterlić's ...'film theory basics' ... first.
Look, if you're trying to convince someone that Kurosawa's work is technically sound, but they've already decided it's garbage just because it's in Japanese and black and white, even Peterlić won't be able to help you. 😁😁
Gerald Barrett25 👍...

The local precinct hasn't sent over a single update yet...😢...but if anything changes, I'll let you know. ;-)

Robert Cooper41 said:You have no clue... Barbie is a masterpiece! 😬

🤣 Nice comeback. Calling him "mediocre" is a bold move, considering he didn't even blink.😁

blueranger12 said:Even Godzilla is part of that crowd, using the tagline: "Bigger is better." 😛

Wasn't that the Snickers slogan? Or was it McDonald's? Maybe Burger King?
...
....
Or maybe for a car?? 🤔
😁 😁

Jose Chase2 said:Yeah. So what? 😛 If everyone else can pull it off, so can I. 👍

Looks like you dodged a bullet there. 🤣

I don't know, I just thought it was funny :-)...but what happened to that guy looking for a couple of empty cassette tapes? 😁

Angela Chavez36 said:Yeah... I'm in. Even if I haven't actually sat down to watch the Russian Ark yet. 😳

Wait, how can you even agree with that??
🤣

brightridge19 said:😵
Me and a friend actually had a late-night (drunk) debate about whether Sokurov filmed both the Russian Ark and some other movie called the Russian Ark. Then we saw the promo on TV and realized they were the same thing. 😬 🙂

Hehe, well his trilogy is basically the Russian Ark, the Russian Ark, and Russian Roulette 😁 😁...
Anyway, here’s the teaser:

'Acclaimed Russian filmmaker Aleksandr Sokurov decided to pull off one of the boldest experiments in cinema history: filming an entire feature-length movie in just one single shot! Years ago, the great Alfred Hitchcock shot "Rope" using about eight shots, where the transitions were so seamless you might have thought it was all one take—though back then, it would've been technically impossible since nobody had a camera with a film roll long enough for a whole movie. In the digital age, Sokurov could rely on top-tier digital tech (the footage was later transferred to 35mm film for theaters) and much smaller, easier cameras than what Hitchcock had to work with, making this feat actually doable. To pull off this stunt, Sokurov hired a crew of four and a half thousand people, and he kept the budget strictly under wraps. The film is deeply patriotic, essentially designed as a tribute to Russian history and the culture of the imperial era at a time when modern Russia deals with a certain complex regarding the West. Sokurov wants to showcase the scale and grandeur of Russian culture to boost national pride and remind Westerners of Russia's massive role in the history of Western civilization. The film is conceived as a fluid journey through Russian history via the halls of The Met, one of the world's most famous museums founded by Catherine the Great. It's fascinating that a film seemingly so unappealing to general audiences in American theaters still pulled in $2.3 million, likely due to the splendor of the imperial halls, the costumes, the paintings, and the music of Glinka, Tchaikovsky, Purvell, and Telemann. The film was in the competition at the Cannes Film Festival, nominated for European Film Awards for best directing and cinematography, and even picked up the Visions Award at the prestigious Toronto festival.'

By the way, the movie is on at 11:50 PM on the local channel, and based on all that, it's definitely worth a watch...
