rightofjupiter 16,489 Posted December 24, 2023 Poor Things is prob my fav of the year, Emma stone is unreal (never been a fan but this turned me), it’s incredibly funny and weird. May December is also funny and weird, Natalie Portman (also not usually a fan) was great, always gonna love a Todd Haynes movie. Renaissance blew me away, the bass in my theater went all the way off liked but didn’t love passengers, performances were great tho 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AC didn't work for me, but I can't wait to see what he does next. Budapest Hotel was a flat-out masterpiece. And, yep, Barbie needed a merciless editor to trim at least 45 mins of it. 5 hours ago, rightofjupiter said: Poor Things is prob my fav of the year, Emma stone is unreal (never been a fan but this turned me), it’s incredibly funny and weird.

Everyone's hyped it so much and saying it's his best. As if The Favorite and some of his other films were already tough to beat. And totally agree on MD and Haynes, and Portman. It's easy to underestimate it as an actress based on her looks, but when she brings it, she really brings it (Jackie, Black Swan, May December). Can't wait for Reneissance too! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love both movies equally, even though they're so different, I loved the kitschiness of Barbie and how it explored existentialism, it was also like a musical which I really loved too. But Oppenheimer, it left me awestruck, I kind of had low expectations before watching it because I had seen reviews were people called it boring but after watching it for the first time, I was so shocked and amazed because it was a cinematic experience. I really hope that both movies sweep the Oscars and other awards. I haven't seen KOTFM and Poor Things yet but these two movies seem to be critics' and awards' favorite too. Yeah, I'm with you on Opp. I'm categorically against Chris Nolan, never liked a single one of his films. But this was a little masterpiece that you can't fault. He deserves best director. Not seen Poor Things yet, though I'm sure it'll be fab. As for Flower Moon, it's very good film-making. As good as Opp. if not better in some ways - mostly thematically, it's more current, with everything that's going on with white colonialism. And it's got the best female performance of the year in Lilly Gladstone. That said, I haven't seen Stone yet. 12 hours ago, honeymooncd said: Priscilla 💕 Saw that too. Huge Sofia Coppola fan. Huge! And while I felt the first hour was some of her best work, I thought the second half kind of falls apart. Bu I saw it on the small screen. Will see it in the cinema next week to give it a proper shot. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With that, Priscilla, and this new movie called "He went that way" (check out the trailer, it just dropped), he's THE star of 2023 imo. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

American Whore 51,084 Posted December 25, 2023 I don't believe I saw much from this year. I watched Barbie and Oppenheimer when they came out on blu ray (this year was kinda my year to start collecting physical media... more so than usual. like, not just vinyls or my favorite video games, but movies too) and I really liked them both, a lot. Barbie was much more.... existential than I expected going into it. Oppenheimer was interesting and I didn't really want it to end. I heard there's extended, deleted scenes but I haven't watched them. 4 Quote if i fuck this model and she just bleached her asshole and i get bleach on my t-shirt, imma feel like an asshole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Altho I say that after once making out with the cup my crush used when I was 12 after he left the room... lol We've all been there. I once put a hot flatmate's used underwear over my face when he wasn't in the apartment LMAO. It reeked of cum too. Saltbrun shocked me in terms of character development. But I think it's the grave scene that will scandalize everyone. And rightfully so. I loved it, but it's whack 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opp, and Anatomy of a Fall are both exquisite film-making. I'll watch Past Lives this week, hear it's fab. Les ssure about Spider-Verse. It didn't quite work for me as well as the first one. Didn't have that warmth and humor. More an exercise in great animation and visual arts if anything. Still enjoyable. Kind of like how Incredibles 2 was enjoyable, but never really reached the heights of the first Incredibles. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mssainttropez 14,741 Posted December 25, 2023 Out of the films that came out this year that I’ve seen, my personal list is- Scream VI Barbie Saw X The Hunger Games: Ballad of Snakes & Songbirds I’ve been wanting to see Priscilla, Wonka, Oppenheimer, Saltburn, and Poor Things. Since Priscilla was announced, I’ve been wanting to see it so bad. Unfortunately, no one would go with me in theaters, and I’m too anxious to go alone :/ 0 Quote ⊹˚⋆ 𝒃𝒂𝒃𝒚𝒅𝒐𝒍𝒍 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 ‧₊° Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
