No problem, no need for extreme punctuality. As long as one of us doesn't peep like 3 recs and the other 0 it's all good

still have ptsd from multiple noe and also titane which are all your fault so

just try and get that new criterion or eureka version idk my brain went numb trying to find the perfect version some years ago

cant even remember what it was called but my favourite score never paired with the best looking version smh

I never ever ever told you to watch Titane. I would have advised you to NOT watch it if you would have actually asked me

also yes i want ppl to see Noé but don't forget that it was Backlava who nagged you about Irreversible !

I told you to peep Love mr. Exquisite Taste In P***ography

I hate when there's so many versions of films i feel like i've seen every Kenneth Anger short at least 30 times

Same with Blade Runner OG

you didnt directly rec it but i was trying to catch up on everything notable for 2021 and you kept talking about it

Well it was notable, one of the most talked about films of the year so that makes it notable by default

But i could have told you it felt like a resurgene of the French New Extremity, it was written in the stars that you wouldn't love it lol

I would have thought you would at least be able to appreciate the way Julia incorporated sound & music in general into the film. That was probably my fav aspect of Titane

the commitment of the dads character and performance was the best part

Also i didn't talk about it that much, did i? i loved it because it's that one rare flashy & edgy Flyhiii film that stands out from the rest of that year but it for sure isn't perfect

Love to see what she will do next though, Julia is talented

Fun fact i missed some of the dialogue because i was watching with friends the first time. And it made me not realize crucial nuances of the film which made the dad creepy af

On a rewatch the dad was adorable in a way and very tragic

Also i know your stance on s***scenes not adding much but that car s***scene was one of the, if not THE peak of the film for me

That build up.. that sound design... it was one of the most eerie things i've experienced in a film that year. I LOVE sound design like that. It was straight up demonic

I remember the whole room who was watching it was DEAD SILENT all throughout those minutes of her slowly walking to that car with that ominous score playing

Those moments are what really tattoos a cinematic experience on my brain and i live for it

Lynch the god of that sort of sound design right from the jump on Eraserhead

Michael Mann for more realistic stuff

Yeah obviously the car s***scene was integral to the plot but it's the sort of weird body horror thing that Cronenberg did that I never really was that into. The Fly a masterpiece however.

But i saw on Lbxd before that you do appreciate Naked Lunch, very very cool and weird movie

Yeah of course Lynch is the master of it. You preaching to the choir here And even though sound design played a HUGE part in the atmosphere he would try to create... i'd argue that he was able to do even if you took that ability away from him

I got this big hardcover of his paintings this week.. and believe me when i tell you they hit you in the same way his audiovisual work does

There's only 1 Lynch... absolute KING

I guess you got to tip your hat to 2001 which probably took sound design to the next level as much as it did anything

I gave Naked Lunch a 4 that's not how I remember it

You're asking things to which you already know the answer to... 2001 MADE Noé

Crine i can't blame you. That movie f***s you uppppp

@Elric YOU WAS PROBABLY OFF THE SHROOMS SPEAKING TO THOSE TALKING BUGS IN THE FILM

Nah I was lightly stoned in the middle of the day with my dad whom I grew up watching The Fly with so I gave it a shot but we were the whole time

If there's any film i wouldn't watch with my dad It's full of not just sex, but s***mixed in with the weirdest stuff one could imagine

We're down for weird but that was like big brain intellectual weird which we are not

It's been like idk 2 years? But iirc there's a scene where bro is like writing on that living typewriter til it gets an o***** or some s***?

I don't see how from my experience.. unless big brain intellectual means someting entirely different to you

Are you aware of the book where the film was based on?

Yes of course and I was about to say I've never read it or much literature of that sort
