Martin Scorsese's After Hours is so underappreciated, it feels like his take on a David Lynch/Kafka-esque nightmare
I really wasn't expecting After Hours to be so good. It's a dark film noir comedy, described as somewhat of 'yuppie nightmare cycle'.The main character Paul goes through a series of misadventures late at night after going to visit a girl he met in a coffee shop, who turns out to be quite disturbed and everything goes...
Most Aesthetically Pleasing Movies?
I want something that I can appreciate the story to but also love how it looks. I want a fascinating but beautiful mise-en-scene. A movie that I could put on to sleep to, that’s how beautiful it is. An example, maybe, Life of Pi. Rear Window even somehow. Whether it be natural nature, a fantasy world, or bizarre interiors...
Do the cast and crew usually know when they’re working on a garbage movie?
That thought entered my mind last night whilst laughing through the new Texas chainsaw massacre which featured a nonsensical plot, embarrassing half assed incorporation modernised themes (school shootings, social media, gentrification), physics that seem to take place in another dimension, and apparently everyone had...
Saddest movie scene in a non-sad movie ??
I’m talking about scenes that come out of nowhere that will make you cry even though the genre isn’t necessarily a “drama”.My pick is from Shallow Hal When he goes back to the childrens hospital (burn victim unit) and sees what Cadence really looks like, he’s shocked yet he stays sweet and hugs her. That scene hits me...
Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in ALIEN is a supporting character for the film's first half. It was a wise choice to do.
She doesn't even get top billing, Tom Skerrit does. In the first hour of the movie, the focus appears to be on Skerrit, Veronica Cartwright and John Hurt. Sigourney Weaver is a mostly background character, someone you wouldn't expect to be the last survivor and protagonist.They also pulled a Psycho with Skerrit's character,...
Does Michael Myers have supernatural abilities, or is this a running joke I was never aware of.
My knowledge of the Halloween movies are contained to the last 3 newest ones released, the newest one several weeks ago. So forgive me if I don't have a full understanding of the entire franchise, as perhaps some of these questions are answered in an earlier film.After watching all 3 of the newest films in a row, I simply...

Actors who began their careers as the “next big thing” but ended up fizzling out
Fame can be a fleeting thing for an actor, especially a fledgling actor. One breakthrough role, and Hollywood is set abuzz with talk of the next Brando, Olivier, Denzel Washington, or James Dean. Sadly, that buzz can be short-lived. The first year is fire, but then the second year could find the actor scrambling for minor...
The book was better but when has it not?
The common saying is the book was better. What movies were better than the book and why?I read Who Censored Roger Rabbit? The book that who framed Roger Rabbit is based on. It is arguably trash compared to the movie.The movie vastly improved on the story. No spoilers, because its a murder mystery, one character whose...
Does it irritate anyone else when people hang up the phone without saying goodbye in movies?
Who does that? When I'm ending a call with anyone that isn't a hitman or the CIA I have this weird, rambling goodbye sequence that goes something like,"Yeah cheer, thanks for that -""No worries!""Have a lovely day""Thanks, bye!"See you later, bye!If someone just finished their sentence and instantly hung up it would trip...
Who was the best case "Young Version" of an actor?
Sometimes, but not often, they nail the casting of the younger version of an actor for flashbacks, prologues, or weird side by side time travel stuff.JGL as a young Bruce Willis in Looper? Jennifer Connelly as a young Elizabeth McGoven in Once Upon A Time in America? The entire child cast of Now and Then, which somehow...
Bullet Train is a fun movie!
I bought this on Blu-ray yesterday because I've been wanting to see it since I first saw the trailer.This was a pretty fun movie with an actually interesting complex story! Brad Pitt was super good in this! Hell, this an ensemble cast and literally everyone was fucking awesome in it. It's funny that it's only Brad's name...
