I need to give sydney another watch

Wasn’t it inspired by Short Cuts?

yeah exactly. personally im not super deep and didnt go to art school or film school so id feel pretentious to call something pretentious. but I alway felt theres one thing that definitely deserved the label;

yeah just wasnt sure if he meant the dogshit musical segment specifically

watching anything from Hollywood really. or movies in general. really observing any art is kinda cosigning anything the creator ever depicted.

Yeah the musical section is the only part I disliked. Everything else in Magnolia is great and prolly my favorite Tom Cruise role

Can't think of what's more pretentious, pta putting the exodus plague raining frogs into the end of Magnolia or him claiming that he didn't even know that was in the Bible until after he made the movie

Was Short Cuts any good ? Altman is hit or miss for me but some of the stories are from one of my fav author

Yeah, you're a hard one to predict with Altman but I could see you appreciating the characters and that washed out early 90s cinnamontography

He's a movie nerd not a Bible nerd

this scene, you f***ing kidding me goated film

Is there anybody that consistently gets better performances out of his actors? Actual question cause I don't think there is

Honestly the 90s cinematography was mid tbh

Irrelevant everyone knows about the frog plague including this pretentious douche

Yea I gotta check it out, definitely got a love hate with Altman. On paper he should be my fav director but :mystery:

Tarantino comes to mind, but I have to agree overall

I learned about it from Magnolia and Short Cuts was raised by a fervently anti religious parents so everything I've learned about the Bible I learned from Bob Dylan lyrics and movies and s***

Bergman also comes to mind but Paul gotta be in the top 5 maybe 3 ever

I wish Paul got a chance to direct Nicholson probably too late

yeah by like 12 years lol

reason I wanted viggo to be in this he’s getting old

Michael Caine is 4 years older than Jack it's not impossible. Especially over the last 12 years. Big a loss for us that he didn't want to keep working.

I feel like he still has a good amount of roles ahead of him

he’s built different tbh, also his roles always somewhat marginal I don’t remember the last time Nicholson showed vitality on screen….than again I never really peeped the old guy buddy movies he did with Morgan Freeman
