      I approve of your list, fellow sir. It's very worldly. I'm not sure I've heard of the Thailand movie. I might have to look that up. Thanks for watching!

    Glad to see you included Coup de Chance and A Different Man. I look forward to seeing Hundreds of Beavers. But the more I think about Anora, the more repulsed by it I am. Just not my kind of movie. My tops: Adios, Buenos Aires (hasn’t had a wide release-be on the lookout for it), The Apprentice, La Chimera, Conclave, Coup de Chance, A Different Man, Emilia Perez, Film Geek (documentary, not in wide release), The Girl with the Needle, Queer, The Return, Thelma.

      Interesting list! Even if I disagree with some choices, I love the lists that you can tell are individualistic like yours. The nominees for the HFCS just came out--which I vote for--and they're so generic and homogenized. Thanks for watching!

    The fact that Anora seems find itself near the top of many UA-camrs confirms to me the sad state of the movies in 2024. It is very sloppy, many scenes drags for way to long, a lot of repetitions ex: the research’s in Little Odessa. Anyone editing ? Also very noisy with too much yelling, for too long, we get it but at one point let’s move forward. Just try to imagine what Kubrick would have done with this topic…and you’ll think Anora has been done by a student for the end of the year project.

    We would love to year your thoughts on the best film acting performances of 2024. Oh by the way you are making us ladies very excited. 😊

    • @FeatureUnderground
      @FeatureUnderground  8 днів тому +1

      For the guys, I think the best performances this year were Guy Pearce, Adrian Brody, and Daniel Craig. For the ladies, it's Mikey Madison and Lea Seydoux. There were a lot of great performances, but those names I mentioned were where great performances meet great characters. A lot of people liked Pamela Anderson in The Last Showgirl, but I think her performance and the movie are overrated. People just like a comeback story.
      Don't get too excited! I don't want any hospital visits on my conscience!

      Kinds of Kindness almost made my list, based on the dog montage alone. And Longlegs left a big impression on me, but I just can't see myself ever wanting to rewatch it, so I knocked it down a peg. As always, thanks for watching and commenting! Let's make 2025 a good one.

    Surprised 😄: Excellent summary of 'Don't Expect Too Much...': "You never noticed being grabbed". Alarmed 😮: Anora being Sean Bakers "most developed character". ...strong disagree. Disappointed 😞: Wood Allen ....sadly now yuck for me. Great video all the same. Grateful 😁: Really looking forward to seeing The Brutalist and Drive Away Dolls. Thanks. Subscribed. 👍

    Drive Away Dolls was excruciating. Stands as one of the worst films in decades. Like your other choices. So weird to have that Coen film in there.

      It carries itself in a very unusual, goofy way that I really enjoyed and never see in new releases. It gets near that "One, Two, Three" tone, which is one of my favorite comedies. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

    1950 London - 99%
    2024 London - 36%
    When London is without W people, is it still British?

    • @FeatureUnderground
      @FeatureUnderground  7 днів тому

      Not sure what this has to do with movies, but I'll try to reply anyway, not knowing anything about London beyond what I've read in Dickens, so I assume nothing's changed.
      To answer your question, we'd first have to define our terms. "London" is easy enough. "W" means white, I assume. "British" is a tricker one and where the problem lies. If it's anything like "American," which I know much more about, that term means different things to different people. For me, it means you believe is a set of ideals written into the American constitution. These ideals are everyone's individual right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (not happiness, but the pursuit). You believe in living and let living, not infringing upon the rights of your fellow citizens, free enterprise, and so on. If someone believes and lives their life according to these principles, that makes them American to me, no matter where they're from or even are.
      If you are worried a particular culture is being lost in a melting pot of other cultures, it may shrink but is unlikely to entirely disappear. Perhaps, it will shrink to the point of being chic and you will become, at no effort of your own, quite stylish. Although, the culture will entirely disappear at some point in the future, as all things do. I do understand that sadness of watching something fade away, though.
      With that, I leave you with the immortal words of your own Sam Weller: "Vich I call addin' insult to injury, as the parrot said ven they not only took him from his native land, but made him talk the English langwidge arterwards."
