That's the approach that caused a bunch of you guys not to watch The Father. It's nothing like what you think it is. It's really great! Go watch The Father! It had terrible promotional materials because it is a very weird movie and they didn't know what to do with it. Look at this garbage, unrepresentative poster:

but i want to see that one and will one day will

:lol: you pick the worst movies sometimes. What exactly is your method?


I have asked him like six times and he refuses to answer


and i assume you bought it, anders. insanity


Why do you dislike it so much?


see my reply to mickey re fredric jameson. I simultaneously have never seen this movie and have seen this movie countless times.


I see where you are coming from with this, but I don’t agree with that approach, not seeing the movie, and having a stromg opinion on it.

Not saying you have to see it, or at all that you have to like it.


i’m exaggerating a bit. i don’t have a particularly strong opinion about this movie — how could i — beyond buying it sight unseen.

For instance tonight I started Everything Everywhere All At Once, which is a significantly better movie in terms of concept and production and just as bad of an experience.

Going to watch the final hour tomorrow just to see how it ends but so far this feels like a comic book movie for people with MFA degrees.


This was terrible. One of the most tedious, juvenile movies I've seen in years.


when I first read fred introduce the presupposition, "texts come before us as the always-already-read", it felt like a godly dispensation from seeing movies exactly like this.


I think overall Fred is correct and there's a way in which the previous reception of this movie (and how it fits into the matrix of what kinds of movies can be made) telegraphed its overall form, but there's also something to be said for witnessing first hand the way a certain (maybe middle class?) psychic reality is served up to its primary audience here, and how it negotiates material limitations to that reality. It was a terrible viewing experience but it is interesting.


of course im down with this 100

you’re a much better observer of the culture than i am.

seems like shows like Yellowstone and Billions are much purer expressions of the dominant us culture, but you have to have the stomach for them.

cc never gives me indigestion

they are much better objects of inquiry for the almost sociological method being advanced by your post, or to the extent it’s formal, a method that accounts for the aesthetic possibilities by way of our historical moment

I don't really remember what happens in 12. I only remember that it was long and convoluted.

I've mostly lost interest in talking about movies. A recent development. I don't know what happened. I used to be obsessed. I'm still surprised by how many movies I actually like, though. Even though most of it seems pretty sinister to me.
