movies

If you wanna watch movies that actually feel like art just watch sexploitation films (whats funny is they are less perverted than most modern pg 13 films) Apparently sexploitation means exploiting the audience by using sex to grab their attention, so like game of thrones, shameless, outlander, even modern family, etc. lol. I always thought it meant the actors got abused or some sht, but they're still alive and that doesn't seem to be the case for the most part.

A lot of them are surreal af and feel like time capsules. Plots super basic, barely any characters, but the scenery is sometimes amazing, like every place they film I want to visit. They are weirdly memorable for their scenes while I could not tell you a single movies name. I think the horniest one ive seen is no where near as horny as modern movies/television that aren't framed as sexploitive.

Our breakfast television has a movie critic straight out of the feuilleton. Any movie that people actually go to is automatically bad, and there is not enough praise for art house films that makes people fall asleep in the cinema and never even make it to TV or streaming.

it's the former, not the latter

I've realised that over time, a lot of my favourite films or ones that I enjoy and basically mainstream blockbusters.

I try to broaden my horizons but quite often, I find these amazing acclaimed films boring.

It's not quite the same but I was amazed when I got the Criterion edition of Armageddon. All these bonus features about a great blockbuster film.

So imagine my disappointment when every other release from Criterion is a film I'll probably never watch in the first place.

Example, I took a chance on Brazil because I was in a bit of a Terry Gilliam phase. I quite enjoyed that one. Then I tried Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. That DVD never got a second play.

Looking at you, Mulholland Drive

This is me with most Tarantino films. I watched Pulp Fiction and have no idea what actually happened in that movie.

Recently I went on IMDB and created a list of highly fan rated movies from the past 2 years. So far they have been hard to watch.

This was me with "One Battle after another", it was not incomprehensible rather the opposite, it was very simple. Don't get me wrong I don't think the movie is bad or anything but for such hype created I was expecting it to be a bit more revolutionary. It also doesn't help that you need to watch DeCaprio shouting Viva la revolución

I really like Bugonia, Code 3 and Roofman from the recent movies I watched. Bugonia is a little confusing but it's still easy to get it's message. The other two are quite simple but the opposite of boring.
