  • it's due to a gravity pull whiplash. Just look at it

  • it's not perfect but it has attitude. Something the new ones decidedly lack.

  • it has this WILDCARD MOTHERFUCKERS vibe that no other Dune adaptation really managed to achieve. With that said, the miniseries is still the best of the bunch mostly due to writing and acting - Ian McNeice is a beast

  • yup

  • as it goes with european cinema - the quality overall is higher - in a sense you get a watchable throwaway genre stuff at worst and outside of Besson you ain't find much of the downright trashy stuff.

    My fave french genre are so-called actor party movies in which a bunch of film starts just do chill and do some bullshit - there's a movie called Le Prenom - and it's just a couple of actors in a room fucking around and it is both very stupid but also majestic because it takes a lot of skill to make that kind of movie work.

  • yeah. Badass C3PO being an asshole droid with the crew would've been cool

  • Cassel is one of the most versatile actors of his generation full of versatile actors. Dude got this Belmondo raw charisma but he acts like Delon - very solid filmography - he can do drama and genre stuff and make it look easy.

  • yeah. she would've benefited from Nouvelle Vague latter day run - Truffaut and Chabrol would've gone crazy

  • if you feel like it.) We've got an entire government superapp that gets breached so regularly it is a running joke in Cybersec circles. Some shit that shouldn't be an application or probably should use better security tools. And we have data hoarding mobile/internet service provider who keeps on buying every other company while anti-monopoly committee says it's fine even though they probably should get broken up into a dozen of companies but who the fuck cares about competitive economic environment.

  • yeah. fuck this shit!

  • capitalist narcissism, eh

  • The reach of english-language culture content in of itself is not an indicator. Reubens work reflected specific aspects of the American culture while partially rooted in European comedy but the semiotics of Reubens' comedy is American and that's an albatross. French comedies import well because they focus on relatable human situations first. Italians do the same. American movies in general mostly operate on tropes and archetypes and the metafictional hyperreality of these tropes and archetypes implemented in other works - so it is permanently something else and that creates a disconnect if you're not a part of this cultural habitus. Even British cinema does things differently - they like to shove full-fledged characters into genre situations and see what happens - so there's always a different spin on same old song and dance. Because of that, Reubens overseas would've been very different.

  • Quite a lot across film history actually.

    • Burton and Taylor are probably the most famous example. They chew the living fuck out of scenery and also act the fuck out and make it look easy.
    • Newman and Woodward got pound for pound strongest body of work.
    • Olivier and Leigh that couple of times that acted against each other was HOLY SHIT.
    • Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh are a lot of fun in both movies - they bounce off each other.
    • Fairbanks and Pickford did a movie together at the worst possible time so it doesn't count.
    • As for modern duos - Cassel and Bellucci. Monica is as strong as movie's direction so it's a good indicator of quality. Cassel is one of the greatest actors of all time - and one of the movies they did together is Irreversible.
  • there's an entire song dedicated to that. But I forgot its name. One of the Irish post punk folks did it.
