    I love that you said you didn’t have much time… but watched 21 films 🤣🍿 I reeeeeally liked Longlegs. It was like a movie version of my perfect kind of thriller. Crime with a whiff of horror. I also keep saying ‘look, it’s the almost birthday girl’ round the house. I saw Cruel Intentions at the cinema when it came out. I’m so old. 😢

      i liked Longlegs enough!!! aesthetically grabbed, but i wish there was a stronger connection to the murders and the end. just felt like it was missing that OOMF!
      OH MY GOD CRUEL INTENTIONS AT THE CINEMA ?! sooo jealous of this experience it must’ve been such a romp 😭

    "I've always been afraid of Susan Sontag's works" This made me laugh as I'm reading Illness as Metaphor right now and having a hard time getting through it, despite how short it is and my personal connection to breast cancer. Interested in this film, though!

      how tough this must be when your personal life intermixes with the text. this is what i’m afraid of! i hope you’re trudging along okay in life and in Sontag ✨🕊️

    honestly Cage has become kinda "Flanderized" as an actor, he just gets cast as these crazy characters to the point where it feels like we've seen it before! need to watch My Hustler, I love Warhol's films at least conceptually, though sometimes they can be a bit of a chore. Julien Donkey-Boy is so good, I'm obsessed with the Dogme95 style. thanks for the shoutout man, love ya too! very glad you liked Last Days Of Disco, it's so so good, the dialogue is so stellar and that soundtrack! we need to bring those movies back. interesting you mention Kicking and Screaming, because I think that movie is extremely Stillman inspired, even having Chris Eigeman in a lead role!

    • @nathansnook
      @nathansnook  Місяць тому +1

      i wonder if Cage needs to take the Carey route and move into something like Kidding, which i thought was fantastic from what i've seen of it.
      i'm also a conceptual gazer of Warhol's work! i'm curious about them in craft and really nothing else. they're mostly a chore, but i wonder if that's because i'm sat at home. i very much enjoy them in galleries, but this one was short enough to pull through.
      need to watch more of the Dogme95 films! which have you watched?
      yes to Kicking and Screaming! except i think Baumbach was doing a bad Stillman. i felt the lines, especially the punchlines, were either overwritten or overdelivered :s

    • @maxkproductions
      @maxkproductions Місяць тому

      @@nathansnook I agree with Warhol, I've often found myself pretty bored with his films but at the same time I really like stylistically what he was doing!
      Dogme95 is quite similar like that for me too! I love the aesthetics and ideas more than I end up enjoying the films themselves really.
      honestly Kicking and Screaming is the only Baumbach I really love, which I think says a lot more about me than Baumbach!

    Such good films here. It's funny bc I was talking about AI the other day and thinking about how I would feel watching it these days, if it aged well (?) lol. Your review of Cruel Intentions is on spot, so funny.
    Also the light on the wall behind you in beginning 👌🏽!
    Love listening to you always 🤍

    • @nathansnook

      how funny! i mean, i don't think it holds up very well in the cgi department, but there was something charming and quirky about it, almost uncanny valley in a way. the moral questions still stand, but definitely worth revisiting! i always feel like it's one that undershines when we think of Spielberg's work!
      thanks for taking the time to watch! means a lot
