I'm not sure what I think of Banshees - Ireland was beautiful, and it felt like a character in the way that the setting feels like a character in some Coen Brothers movies (Fargo, No Country for Old Men). I'm not sure I fully understood the subtext in this movie - that's a weak point for me in general. It seemed that the true story was about the sister more than the men, and I'm glad she got away... and that he didn't tell her how things changed after she left.

While I can understand why Colm wanted to sever the relationship, I don't understand some of the ways that he reached back out after his ultimatum - he caused the confused responses that drove him to act to some extent. And the ultimatum was just too extreme, and incompatible with the reason he severed the relationship... and if he really knew Padraic that well, he had to know the ultimatum wasn't going to work. I get lost in there somewhere.

I loved both Banshees and In Bruges. With Martin McDonagh, you have to suspend disbelief a bit around his characters' behaviors and just enjoy the glorious dialog and performances. Few filmmakers can combine comedy and tragedy like he can.

I hear the term comedy applied to Bansheees, but other than a couple of brief scenes with the priest, I didn't see any comedy at all, just tragedy. It was the same with 3 Billboards.
But In Bruges made me laugh out loud in places.

I can't think of any of his movies that aren't worth a watch. Prisoners and Incendes (this one is foreign language, if that matters to you) are both great and not listed as ones you've seen.

Incendies is on Tubi free right now. Prisoners is on Netflix.

Loved both In Bruges and Banshees. Thought Kerry Condon stole the show in the latter. She was phenomenal. Gleeson is probably my favorite actor so it's no real surprise that I love both of these films. Feels like about time I rewatched Banshees.

 

[KarmaPolice]

HFS - when the topics of remakes that we actually want to see comes up, usually one of my go-to is The Running Man. IMO a great premise that could do with a new slant, especially how popular reality shows and dumb game shows did become, and some actually decent f/x. Just was looking at his imdb page, and this is what Edgar Wright is directing next.

Old age is a *****. I was looking at the Stephen King wiki page for a potential theme for this year's 31 horror movies in October marathon, and saw Running Man and got excited again. I almost posted this reaction again. At least I caught myself, so I will take that positive from it.

 

[General Malaise]

I finally saw Top Gun Maverick and liked it a lot. It’s a shame I didn’t see it in the theater.

The good: Well, it's a kick *** movie that is about as good as a sequel can get (especially decades later)

The bad: it encourages more of the same, and largely I am tired of sequels and remakes.

Maybe it will encourage more time between sequels and much better quality to boot? I'm with you in spirit; sequel and remake culture is lazy and insipid. Maverick was refreshing for a change.

A man named Otto .. that hit me harder than I anticipated. Really enjoyed it

The book is one of my favorites (A Man Called Ove) and has plenty of laughs, too.

Funny, I think Banshees is laugh out loud funny though like 80% of it.

I'm not sure what I think of Banshees - Ireland was beautiful, and it felt like a character in the way that the setting feels like a character in some Coen Brothers movies (Fargo, No Country for Old Men). I'm not sure I fully understood the subtext in this movie - that's a weak point for me in general. It seemed that the true story was about the sister more than the men, and I'm glad she got away... and that he didn't tell her how things changed after she left.

While I can understand why Colm wanted to sever the relationship, I don't understand some of the ways that he reached back out after his ultimatum - he caused the confused responses that drove him to act to some extent. And the ultimatum was just too extreme, and incompatible with the reason he severed the relationship... and if he really knew Padraic that well, he had to know the ultimatum wasn't going to work. I get lost in there somewhere.

It’s a metaphor and probably a parable, I don’t think ever meant to be taken as literal actions of real people.

I'm with you, Tick.
I think that if a movie requires that much explanation as to what the heck is going on, and whether it's really funny to some and depressing to others, that seems like too much to ask of it's audience.

Aside from the accents, Banshees is pretty straightforward. The basic plot and timeline are simple and there are only a handful of characters. The comedy/tragedy balance depends on your mood and sense of humor.

In my experience, the movies that require the most explanation are the big Hollywood franchises like MCU, F&F, etc. There are so many characters and flashbacks that don't make sense unless you're knowledgeable about a bunch of previous movies.

Yeah I don’t see what’s complicated about Banshees. I see why some people don’t like it or find it funny. My wife hated. It actually disturbed her and it kind of ruined the night. I don’t think there’s anything very complex. Now you can read it as a metaphor for civil war and all that but it’s not necessary to enjoying the movie imo.

Watched Infernal Affairs (Hong Kong crime film that The Departed is based on). Real good movie, leaner than The Departed but IMO not quite as good. Still, a movie fans of crime films need to see. It absolutely screams 2000s too, kind of a funny aesthetic looking back.

For sure, bought the Criterion trilogy recently as one of their sales overlapped with me having a couple drinks lol

80s finally watched Heat- hooah!

Now I need to return the favor and finally watch a couple of your suggestions. I guess I did knock out Amadeus last year finally. I did intend to buy Lawrence of Arabia 4K the other day, but when I looked it was about $100+. Nope. I ended up with Blade Runner 2049 and Pulp Fiction instead.

Sony studios confirmed that thei 4K Ultra HD Steelbook release of David Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia (1962) will be coming back into stock at all your favorite retailers in the next month or two.

Based on a few recent mentions here, I gave Amadeus a shot (it's on Amazon Prime right now). I'd never seen it before. I gave up after about an hour. Mainly because I found the acting to range from o.k. to distractingly bad (Tom Hulse and Elizabeth Berridge were horrible, which is a big problem since they're main characters). Due to the current stage of filmmaking best practice, I also can't get on board with a lack of accents on people who are supposed to be from Italy, Austria, and other places in Europe where folks don't speak English as if they were California natives. There may be a good story in there, it wasn't evident to me. I think there are people who frequent this thread that like the film - what am I missing? Does it get markedly better midway through the film and I just checked out too soon?

I don't think you're missing anything. You just didn't like it.

I thought Amadeus was a solid work that's held up well. I didn't absolutely love it but I respected its artistry, F. Murray Abraham's performance and the timeless tale of genius. Tom Hulce's performance is a lot but he does convey the joyful immaturity of the character. Tim Curry did the role on Broadway and Mark Hammill read for the film which might have changed the dynamic.

I've seen enough Roman emperors and Wehrmacht officers with English accents to be bothered much by them (as long as they're consistent).

I don't think it gets better, it's great from the jump. Easily a top 10 all time movie for me. The lack of accents doesn't bother me. If we wanted accuracy, they wouldn't even be speaking English but whats the the fun in that? I think the acting is great. Hulce perfectly delivers IMO the idea of the movie that great genius in one area doesn't equate to a great person or even a decent person. We see this in musicians and athletes all the time. Breathtaking talent, poetry, skill and yet the person is imbecile in most other areas of life. In the framing of the story, Mozart is god's weapon against Salieri. Plus the music, the costumes, the production design. It's exquisite.

The Endless (Peacock free): 2017 movie where two brothers return to visit a UFO death cult they left a decade earlier to get some closure. Odd events ensue.

I liked this movie. It’s a low budget movie, but the acting is good and the story was really intriguing to me. It didn’t take the turns I expected. This is one of those movies where the RT and IMDB ratings are pretty different, but do hint at what to expect. 92% RT but only 6.5 IMDB - so it’s obviously decent and competently made, but not any transcendent experience. There were 4 characters in the movie that felt slightly odd - like they were too fully formed for the tiny roles they had, and they weren’t fully integrated into the rest of the story. I found out after watching the movie that there was an earlier movie (Resolution) with at least 2 of those characters in it that this movie is related to. I’ll check that one out too.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was a lot of fun. I liked all the GotG movies.

I always get $50 for the birthday from the mother-in-law. For Christmas she got me a book on Hitchcock so this year I got the 2nd Hitchcock 4k collection. It got here today, so I might pop one in tonight. This pack has Saboteur, Shadow of a Dout, Trouble with Harry, Marnie, and Family Plot. I would have been perfectly happy with Shadow of a Doubt 4k for a gift, so I figured the rest are a bonus.

The 3rd 4k set comes out on Halloween and it has: Rope, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Torn Curtain, Topaz, and Frenzy.

I’ll probably get the 3rd set but it’s kind of weak. Rope is really good. I like Frenzy a lot as well. Topaz is quite bad imo.

Pandorum (Hulu): 2009 sci-fi/horror movie starring Ben Foster and Dennis Quaid. IMDB 6.7. It's a bit of a cross between maybe Event Horizon and Aliens? Guys wake up on a colony spaceship and things have gone wrong, they try to figure out what's up. Somehow there are goblins on board, and very few humans. Of the Alien inspired movies out there, this wasn't bad. There was one scene with Quaid remembering his past that was great - the way it was done was just really cool, I thought. There were a few too many shots where people would hold a pose like the superhero landing type of shot - the action and some of Ben Foster's character's insanity were just a bit overdone and uneven at times. Also, the goblins never really made any sense. Still, this movie was better than I expected.

Hidden Figures - Enjoyed it.

Barbie - Yes, I gave it a try. Too sophomoric for me to care about anything it was trying to say. I lasted about as long as I did watching Zoolander - about 45 minutes.

 

[Capella]

Historic theater in the town I work in and that I watch most of my movies, because I know the owner well and like to support small local theater, is running his annual 12-hour Halloween Movie Marathon again this year. 6 movies for $48 (includes a yet to be announced 7th special film), includes all the popcorn and pop you want, plus pizza by the slice for a buck. He also brings in a well-known horror and exploitation film historian, as a special guest host.

Definitely going yet again this year...here's his lineup:

11:10am Xtro (1982)

1:30pm The Fog (1980)

3:00pm An American Werewolf In London (1981)

5:00pm -Special Movie To Be Announced-

7:45pm Wicker Man (1973)

9:15pm The Howling (1981)

10:45pm Rosemary's Baby (1968)

Looks to be a fairly solid lineup.

That honestly sounds amazing.

Did you drop $20+ and not watch it all? I didn't think it was out streaming yet?

Not even worth the rest to watch Mr. Gosling?

A Million Miles Away (on Prime) was great. Astronaut movie with Michael Pena is a good combo for me.

 

[snogger]

Fast X was better than 9

Not sure on that. Felt the villain was too over the top. I get that was what they were going for, but after awhile it got very annoying.
Also,many other films that broke it up with two parts did a much better job then this one.
The last Mission Impossible is a great example.. It was a very good movie on its own but leads into part 2 very well.
As was the last Avengers films.
This one truly felt like a part 1 from start to finish.
Will hold final judgement once Part 2 gets released.
