Wow, Blaschke beats Deakins.
Louis: Your thoughts on the cinematography of Sleepy Hollow.
Louis: Were there any other changes to the winners or was it only The Lighthouse over 1917.
I know you've cooled on Carol but at least put it over the fish-eyed foolishness of The Revenant. It's Lubezki's second-ugliest movie.
On the other hand, Atomic Blonde, so all is forgiven.
I hate The Revenant but I'll still defend that it's beautiful-looking.
Quite the lovely addition to the blog. I love seeing Mandy at #3 on 2018 and I'm Thinking of Ending things at #5 for 2020 in particular.
Here we go with the carol mania again...
I'm thinking Joel Coen is gonna end up being my best director win when all is said and done, if for no other reason than what he does with the witches.
Luke: he has cartainly given that before
Love all the Deakins love, and really hoping Willis is a surefire win for 72.
Louis: Could Macfadyen go up in the 2005 Lead overall for Pride and Prejudice? It's a very strong year, but surprised to see him that *relatively* low.
Sergey Urusevsky was missing in The Cranes Are Flying (1957) and I Am Cuba (1964)
Well, I finished the fourth season of "Breaking Bad" just now...and man, have I been missing out all this time.
I'll save a top ten of the ensemble until I finish the series. What I'll say right now is Giancarlo Esposito really shines in season 4, and though I knew about Gus' fate, the build up and pay off was very well done.
I so wish I could watch Breaking Bad for the first time again.
After the Cinematography list, now I want to see Louis doing the actress lists (lead and supporting). Who here also wants?
Anonymous: Best wait for the bonus rounds to finish before he takes on such an undertaking. I've listed his 5s and 4.5s so if you want, I'll email you the list I've compiled.
Luke: Accepted.
The newest Attack on Titan season is so good. Can't wait to see how they adapt the manga's ending.
Matt: What are your thoughts on the episodes "...And the Bag's in the River", "4 Days Out", "Full Measure" and "Salud"?
Tahmeed: As far as Anime viewings, I'm torn between continuing AOT and watching the fifth season of MHA. I'll also admit, I'm sort of interested in Dragonball Super, and I know enough about the series so I wouldn't be completely lost, but it would be a wierd place to enter the show (I've only seen some of the animated films).
Mitchell: Man, it's been FOREVER.
Mitchell: Haven't finished the latest Hero Academia season myself yet, felt like they were kind of losing the thread towards the middle. I'll probably finish it eventually, it's just not a show I could ever watch week to week.
As for AOT, it's like a reverse Game of Thrones in quality- it started off being mostly action and spectacle, (and was good at that), but it's an entirely different beast starting from the second season plot machination-wise. I get the feeling you'd love it, I know I do.
Also, as for Super, given that a lot of people (myself included) watched Z before the original Dragon Ball, you'd be alright jumping in to be honest. DBZ Abridged can catch anyone up to speed in like a tenth of the time, with the exception of the Buu Saga I guess.
Tahmeed: Given that the DBZ abridged was made by the same guys behind Hellsing Abridged - and how that was one of the funniest things I've seen in months - I can see why it'd be worth watching.
Also, another reason I'm interested in DB Super especially is the chance to see more of Beerus; Of my incomplete knowledge of the franchise, he's got to be one of my favourite DB characters, since I love the idea of this universal force of destruction being so childish over mere food.
Something I also wanted to comment on just now; I re-read Louis' review of Gary Oldman in "Mank", and I'll admit to underselling that performance quite a bit when I watched the film.
I mention this mainly to give a great actor his due credit, and as a reflection on how we're NOT getting a perfect line up this year.
Louis: Will you be able to see Blackadder Goes Forth before you begin the 2021 reviews.
And any more 2021 releases from the past week or two.
Mitchell: I gotta say, I'm a huge fan of all of those 4 episodes you mentioned. "...And The Bag's in The River" is in particular one of my absolute favorites, and is the most underrated episode in the show if you ask me.
Louis: Your thoughts on the following Succession scenes?
L to the OG
Ken confesses the truth to his siblings
The bottom of the top
Emi: That episode is a pivotal one for the show, I think, since it's Walt's first major push down a very dark road.
Saw Parallel Mothers last night, which I liked but also felt was a bit lacking. Between this and Pain & Glory I think Almodóvar has an issue with developing ideas.
Cruz - 4.5
Smit - 4
Elejalde - 3.5
Sánchez-Gijón - 3.5
Palma - 3.5
Louis: What are your ten favourite songs that won the Grammy for Record of the Year?
Marcus: Can't quite give ten, but my favourites are:
'Hotel California'
'Bridge Over Troubled Water'
'Boulevard of Broken Dreams'
'Rolling in the Deep' (although I wish Adele won for 'Someone Like You')
'Beat It'
'Mrs Robinson'
'Somebody that I Used to Know'
'We Are the World'
It's downright criminal that 'Fast Car' and 'Lose Yourself' didn't win when they were nominated to be honest.
Speaking of songs, what would be everyone's thoughts on this - assuming some of you haven't seen it already?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6CTpN6UMKQ
Tahmeed: I concur on Someone Like You.
Also, minor spoilers for my comment - It just hit me how my Paul Raci reminds me of Bill Nighy.
*much*
Mitchell: Even more reason to love Paul Raci, the man's awesome. Also really dug the song despite its brevity.
Louis: The screenshots are great to look at.
Sleep Tight, is one where I feel the film successfully does what it is trying to do, particularly in its moments of Hitchcockian tension, however causes me to go to what end given the ambiguous sadism of the central character?
Tosar - 4(I mean exceptionally creepy, and plays in this particularly off-putting believable way. This both in terms of the character hiding his intentions through this general distasteful manner, though not necessarily sinister. This against though his private moments where he acts well in just in terms of crafting the situation, and creating a sense of the demented focus of the man.)
Etura - 3.5(Part of the to what end, as she just creates this sweet presence that I didn't enjoy seeing stripped away by being slowly mistreated and tortured in a most peculiar way. Etura though brings an honest sweetness though and humanity to the victim nonetheless.)
Day of the Wacko is kind of funny and kind of interesting, though again another one where I wouldn't say I could wholly hooked into the film's unique rhythm, I did overall appreciate it to some degree though.
Kondrat - 4(I did enjoy his performance as this sort of passive exasperation combined with this more active anger. The sort of reactions though are often of this consistency, and so much of the film is watching him maintain the state of the wacko. The wacko that he does realize in his own unique moment that certainly does succeed in matching the film's off-beat tone.)
Tahmeed:
Probably not, only because my opinion will never change on the other half of the romantic equation which limits his performance to a degree for me.
L to the OG - (A simply brilliant scene in conception of Kendall playing basically the court jester part, however just the hilarious execution of it is fantastic from how straight Strong plays it, to the cringe in Snook and Culkin, but also Braun portraying Gregg's genuine love for the song.)
Ken confesses the truth to his siblings - (Just a beautifully realized scene that so perfectly accentuates the sense of the sibling dynamic as through the scene we get the snips still, but also a genuine familial love all the same, with Kendall so defeated, while Roman's snark is trying to support for once, and Shiv attempting to be a caring sister even in a certain disbelief at the standard.)
The bottom of the top - (I mean a Tom and Gregg scene, therefore guaranteed greatness. Hilarity in the opening of Braun's delivery of Gregg's "love life" that is both technically articulate in his maneuvering while also so completely awkward at the same time. Braun's earnestness against the complications that MacFadyen sells every second of, articulating the complexity of Tom's situation even as he only speaks in vague notions.)
Luke:
We'll see.
The Night House which I thought was flimsy as an overall haunted house/psychological thriller. A shame as I think it is carried successfully by Hall to the point I wish the script had been stronger for her to take it to the next level.
Hall - 4.5
Goldberg - 3
Curtis-Hall - 3.5
Compartment No. 6 I thought was fantastic and would love to see it upset The Hand of God out of the presumed five international feature nominees. Loved just its quiet telling of this unexpected and unlikely friendship that forms between two very different people. Loved most though was the sense of place both within the tight train car, and icy, yet beautiful, landscapes that they are traveling to.
Haarla - 4.5
Borisov - 4
With Parallel Mothers, it is once again true, that at most I'm probably only ever going to like "parts of" any Almodovar effort. This as elements I don't like are a consistency of his style. His style of the kitschy use of colors (which I don't mind), superfluous scenes (depends on the scene, didn't mind the audition here, but also had no real need to be in the film) melodramatic twists and turns (depends on the twist and the turn, here I liked the first few, but one relationship one made me roll my eyes by how unnatural the development felt), and the scattershot storytelling, which I don't think I'm ever going to fully like from him. This as it always feels like he's about to reach something, and then he swerves and focuses on something else right at the key moment. That is the case here once again. This is to the point the central, titular relationship, takes the backseat to what would have been either merely a storytelling device for most filmmakers, or would have had a deeper connection throughout. One can try to argue the thematic connection to me as much as they like, doesn't matter the attempt to bring back the Franco mass graves at the end, landed like a thud for me, which should be naturally potent material. Felt tacked on though because of the Almodovar method, and in turn I felt the actual central relationship conclusion felt rushed, and really resolved off-screen. What I did like, I quite liked, and for more than half of the film I thought this was going to be the Almodovar I might love, then he did what he does, and I started to reject. I'd still qualify it as good on the whole mind you, but once again Almodovar's trademarks got in the way of me loving Almodovar's work.
Cruz - 4.5
Sanchez-Gijon - 3.5
Smit - 4
Elejalde - 3
Bafta nominations soon, I really think that these, possibly for the first time in a long time, are important, Best Actor is looking very curious now, Denzel has never received a Bafta nomination, I wonder what happens there.
yeah, Sleep Tight is not a comfortable one, i myself kind of like that kind of film though. I'd personnally give Tosar a 4.5
Louis: Thoughts on the casts.
also, i too FINALLY saw the first season of Breaking Bad.
i liked it well enough, but am not head-over-heals in love yet, which for example Lost or GoT got me at insanely fast.
BB though was really slow (a bit too much for me at times) and the plotline of Walt's family seems ... odd at times. I don't really see where that is going and how it might tie in with the bigger picture.
And i fucking hate Marie! Please tell me she dies later on.
I’m delighted that you loved Compartment No. 6, Louis. What are your thoughts on Kuosmanen’s direction? Knew it would be right up your street. And I do think it has potential to get in - there has been a lot of buzz for it and it’s been peaking at the right time.
Also highly recommend his last film The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Maki when you get to it.
And I’m glad you at least thought Parallel Mothers was good, it cohered much better for me overall than you but I get the reservations for sure.
Hello Louuis and folks!
The list of Brazilian winners of my award is out! There's a movie that many of you liked was one of the most awarded.
LINK: https://letterboxd.com/brazinterma/list/2021-brazil-ranking/
Thank you for this Brazinterma! Love the Nine Days love. And Santoro’s win is inspired. Looking forward to checking more of these out.
Tim: Trust me, I wasn't completely head over heels for the first season either, but it's get better with each succeeding season. It's mostly a show that excels in writing and performances, I find, but the plot does work itself decently enough and offers a lot of tense and logically constructed scenerios throughout. I also concur with your early response to Marie, but she too improves with time (though I'll be honest, Betsy Brandt isn't my favourite actor in the show).
On another note, I watched "The Lost Daughter" tonight and liked it quite a bit. I does the "Love and Mercy" thing by successfully casting two performers as one character, and it really does make you believe each is the same person at different ages. Beyond that, I think it's an ideally title movie, and paints a compelling portrait of imperfect, perhaps disillusioned motherhood. I'll have to see how it sits with time, but I definitely admired it.
Colman - 5
Buckley - 5
Harris - 3
Sarsgaard - 3
Johnson - 3 (Her line readings really didn't sync with her emotional performance at times, but that might just be her voice because she's still fine in general.)
Something I'll also admit with season 1 of "Breaking Bad"...
I think part of why I found the cancer intervention scene so moving - beyond the excellent script and acting, of course - is I was going through a bit of a rough patch at the time (and screw it, I'll just say the word - depression). I don't know if I was extra suseptible to those kinds of scenes or what, but the show did it's job of making you empathize with Walt and his family. I think I addressed that last week as well, how its been very tough for me lately. It's not easy guys, but I'm going to try and get through this.
Mitchell: I noticed the same thing about Dakota Johnson. She has a naturally dreamy, sing-songy type of voice that causes some dissonance with the roles she takes. Otherwise she's great at internalization.
Rewatch of Return of the King has made me make some slight rating upgrades:
McKellen-5
Mortensen-4.5
Boyd-4
Louis: Your thoughts on the direction and screenplay of Gentleman's Agreement. To think this was the picture to receive the Best Picture award after the brilliant The Best Years of Our Lives got the award. And not gonna lie, Peck is downright unlikable and smug in it.
Also, it says on some site that Anne Revere was considered to play Ma Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life. Capra really dodged a bullet on that one by casting Beulah Bondi, didn't he?
Calvin: I'm glad you liked the list.
End of February or beginning of March, I will post the list of Brazinterma Internacional nominees.
Louis: Chung Mong-Hong’s latest, The Falls, is on Netflix, it’s decent, not quite as great as The Sun but I guess that’s a hard one to pull off.
Luke:
Hall - (Her performance is completely genuine in presenting a woman suffering from grief, depression but also this kind of disbelief within her situation. Hall creates this natural state of this complexity where at times she almost seems like she's going to crack up by the way fate has seemingly decided to abuse her in this way. She's equally strong in just helping to craft a genuine atmosphere by very much playing every scene with a sense of place and situation. Her performance creates the right sense of horror and emotional trauma within each new discovery. Again where this all takes her honestly gets a little silly even, but Hall delivers on every moment to craft stakes that at least exist in her own work even when they may be lacking elsewhere.)
Goldberg - (She's just fine in the best friend role, nothing notable, but entirely serves her purpose.)
Curtis-Hall - (Really liked his performance to the point I wish he had gotten more to do. This as he brings such an honest warmth and sense of the supportive history between the man and Hall's character. Equally good is his moments of revelation he brings such a powerful sense of weight and the conflict of responsibility between lying to ease a situation or telling the truth to potentially make it worse.)
Haarla - (Her performance does well to establish an innate likability and just a sense of the earnest warmth of the person beforehand, therefore making the journey that much more from a place of feeling in her position. In turn she offers the right perspective of the audience surrogate in terms of creating the sense of the journey particularly that of the central relationship. Haarla's wonderful by naturally seguing within her performance from the early simple reactions of dealing with the man seeming just hitting on her, to finding some honest actual common ground, to trying to create a greater distance while there is a greater connection being found. She finds just the right tone in every moment to craft such a natural progression, even within the bumps, which I think were the trickiest to pull off however Haarla's wonderful in realizing each as this person. The major scene of the dining room breakdown against the compartment scene, Haarla is great in bringing initially a playfulness that is too blind to the vulnerability, then playing the following scene, which could've been false like another sudden romantic scene that I'll get to in a moment, but is made natural by Haarla presenting it as this sort attempt at a comforting act of someone she loves though isn't really truly attracted to in that way.)
Borisov - (Overshadowed per the nature of the film, but I did like his performance throughout. This in being the man that we see through her eyes not as he fully is. This as he is bit much at first, but Borisov slowly unveils the better side of the man within his pride and bluster to show the better man in there. This to the point of though eventually showing the painful vulnerabilities in the man, before finding a calmer place of a simple, yet pure camaraderie.)
Cruz - (Cruz always seems far more comfortable as a performer in Spanish, and that is once again the case. The Almodovar leads tends to go through a whole lot, and that is no different once again. Cruz brings a nice general energy here to begin with, bringing this initial kind of optimism within the character as the starting point. She's very effective though in then showing the stressors that realize themselves when she begins to unveil the revelations that befall her character, and finds the right emotional nuance of these situations. Except one that involves the chemistry with another performer, that just isn't apparent, and didn't seem it was written or directed to be apparent either, and is pure out of left field, not working at all. I think this is entirely Almodovar's fault though as he did not build to it in any way shape or form. Beyond that though Cruz delivers strong performance nonetheless.)
Sanchez-Gijon - (Is effectively self-absorbed in every aspect of her performance and delivers with the right degree of comic energy that doesn't overcome the dramatic intention of the nearly uncaring mother. Of course at a certain point the film just seems to forget about her.)
Smit - (Largely liked her performance as well, though again one aspect I don't think is earned in the least, but again while there is a performance aspect missing, it's more so on the writing and direction there. Smit the rest of the time is effective in presenting the phases of her character from her initial scenes of the truly despondent soon to be mother, then the maturation we see later on of the woman with a largely sense of herself and willingness to be more than the seeming expectation of her.)
Elejalde - (He's fine in being both just a bit self-absorbed while also being just genuine enough in other moments.)
Calvin:
I found Kuosmanen's direction very strong, particularly as soon as we enter the train. This as his choices to be so within the train throughout the journey, help to ensure this sense of place, as he chooses to look out through the windows and with that perspective. In turn his choices in overall the lighting, and camerawork in general craft this sense of place, as he finds the right artful combination between giving that sense of realism while allowing for beauty within that. The success here being in that it is almost as though you can feel the heat of the cabin against the cold of the window, and remarkable in terms of making every step of the journey feel wholly tangible. In turn he makes this catharsis by when we reach the destination he expands, as one would be their own perspective, and we can see the beautiful larger landscapes that Laura would be able to see. In addition his restraint throughout I think is pitch perfect in crafting the naturalism in the interactions that always skirt dullness, but make you real sense the feeling of just being with these people.
I'll certainly try to check it out soon.
8000's:
The film itself is one that Kazan would rightly criticize. Kazan's direction compared to say his debut with A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, which felt so lived in in terms of the city and the space of the family, here feels so bland, hollow, and purely studio in the worst possible way. Everything here screams artifice. The actual drama is taken with this stilted quality as Kazan really makes the performers just kind of say lines without any real passion or sense of true purpose beyond self-righteousness perhaps. The actual inherent drama mainly realizing itself through characters being casually rude against Peck giving them that Peck stare. The rest being devoted to the lame and rather dull romance, which I'd say Kazan seems disinterested in but he's not engaged with the antisemitism plot line either.
As much as Kazan isn't delivering with his direction here, which is combating with Pinky for career worst from what I've seen, the script is the biggest problem, and similar to Pinky kind of a guide on how not to do a message film. I will say the essential idea is already flawed as, why not instead say have a Jewish man just trying to deal with the corporate world, going by his Jewish name again or something, or just have it about a Jewish man. The whole fake Jewish angle is particularly dumb as there are so many ways you could've done that better. But let's take the film on its accord, that's the story, okay, but even with that it's awful. What it is mostly are two types of artificial scenarios as written. Either people are saying exactly what they mean in their prejudice, or a character lecturing all on this behavior. There is no subtly in either, whether that be showing the quieter ways of prejudice or actually getting to something deeper here. Everything feels set up just to have the big moment of triumph in standing up against the prejudice. There are some minor attempts at something more, like the self-hating Jew, but even that is horribly developed towards just speechifying. Of course that is ignoring that the film haphazardly wraps this around a tepid romance, that exists largely for greater melodrama. The attempt to the connect the two is flimsy at best. The worst aspect of the script may have to be John Garfield's Dave, as the character himself feels token in a film about antisemitism, the only substantial character is treated like "hey how about bring Dave in he's Jewish", and only there not to be a person, rather to give an extra lecture,
Indeed.
Louis: I also thought Kuosmanen's use of music was brilliant. The final needle drop to close the film paired with the callback of the note/drawing was just so lovely. Completely agree on the use of the setting of the train and the cinematography. We most certainly do not need another Murder on the Orient Express so soon but I am intrigued at what Kusomanen could possibly do with a story like that.
Louis: Where did you watch Compartment No. 6?
Also, your retro directorial choices for Asghar Farhadi?
Louis: If you haven't still seen His Kind of Woman and Man with the Gun yet, remember, you can watch them here.

So I’m probably seeing Belle this week. For everyone who has: should I go dub or sub?
Calvin: I saw it with subs.
Also saw it in subs. Kaho Nakamura's performance is worth watching the sub.
your thoughts on the Direction and Cinematography of The Others?
Bryan:
In a movie theater.
Farhadi:
The Angry Silence
Paris, Texas
Bicycle Thieves
Calvin:
I watched both versions. I'll concur with Robert with the sub for Nakamura's performance. I will say though the English dub is a good one.
Louis: Your rating and thoughts on Jennifer Coolidge in Swan Song, and anyone else you feel is worth mentioning in that film?
It's a bit too fitting that both Swan Songs from 2021 work best as vehicles/character studies for their starring men, though both films are still decent on their own.
Louis: Have you seen Blue Bayou.
Louis: Have you seen any of this year's Oscar shortlisted documentaries (excluding the ones you've mentioned before)?
Louis: Where does Sideshow Bob Roberts rank among your favorite Simpsons episodes? I think it might be my flat-out favorite.
Tim:
The direction, along with Kidman's performance, really is the others. This as Amenabar creates such a thick and striking atmosphere. This with the intention to crafting the setting, and the detail granted to the world the character inhabit. The use of the score, and the lighting, in creating this eerie sense of a place, that is of the past, but also ethereal in its own way. This sort of not quite normalcy that grants such a ghostly quality to the film, even as the film's screenplay doesn't always make the greatest use of this as say compared to the Innocents that explores a lot more. The idea of the haunted house purely on its own though is powerfully realized with just some highlight moments, particularly Amenabar's execution of the "I Am Your Daughter" moment where it obscures and plays with the viewers mind through the veil of either obscuring a little girl or an old woman.
Javier Aguirresarobe's cinematography being the highlight. The use of lighting, framing and composition here that crafts every shot as though it is a period painting. A painting made by a dead person of dead people. This as there is a low key horror in the lighting that isn't traditional extremes of the haunted house, rather than this often more of the blending of grays here that are so striking. This while realizing the chilling setting, where you can almost sense the cold state of the space.
Luke:
Yes, thought it had good moments, but overall found it a bit too heavy handed in its exploration of the issue. Playing too often into obvious moments, particularly with the ex-husband character and his partner.
Aidan:
All except President, Julia and Writing With Fire.
Bryan:
It should speak to those films in that at this point I really don't remember anything other than Kier's performance.
Robert:
Not sure of the exact ranking, but I love the episode.
Luke, are there any films whose cinematography you wanted to include but couldn't find the room for?
May I ask why you loved Another Round's cinematography? That aspect of the film didn't stand out to me at all.
Also, what are your thoughts on Lance Acord's work as a cinematographer?
Louis: Ratings and thoughts on Chon and Vikander.
Louis: Your top 10 Bill Nighy and Noah Taylor acting moments.
I liked Blue Bayou more than you Louis, but I agree that Mark O’Brien and especially Emory Cohen’s performances and characters left much to be desired. The film is at its best when it’s just sticking to the central emotional thread of father/daughter/mother imo
Louis: Say your Top 7 best Cast/Ensemble of 1942?
Louis: your 10 best Vincent D'Onofrio moments.
Louis: So according to some sources, when it came to casting Spellbound, Hitchcock and Selznick had Greta Garbo and Joseph Cotten in mind for Bergman and Peck's roles? I mean, it's Spellbound, but what do you think of those choices for those parts?
You also forgot to give your thoughts on the idea of Garbo in Deborah Kerr's role in Black Narcissus, as supposedly Powell felt Kerr was too young for her part. Honestly, even if Kerr is a little young, I'm glad she got the part.
Tony Kim:
Plenty.
Well other than beautiful shots like the one featured in my background, I thought it was a terrific naturalistic aesthetic in terms of lighting, but also with some fantastic movement most notable the choir practice scene in that sense. For me it was beautiful work without accentuating itself as such, but was nonetheless in a natural way.
Well having only seen Adaptation, Being John Malkovich and Lost in Translation, I can safely say, I think he's fine, but nothing notable. This as his aesthetic is kind of the naturalistic approach, that is maybe too naturalistic at times in that the shots can occasionally be a bit bland. I don't think the cinematography is what stands out about either Kaufman/Jonze film, and don't care for his work in Lost in Translation, though Coppola has the directorial tendency to under light her scenes to begin with.
Luke:
Chon - 3.5(Much like his film, very earnest to be sure. I didn't ever quite feel he brought us to the depths of the role though. I think he's entirely fine in terms of the surface emotion he displays, but I never quite got an understanding of who this man was on a deeper level than what we get. He's certainly decent enough, however I think the role needed a greater intensity than it seems like Chon might be capable of, say something like what Steven Yeun could've brought to the role in comparison. He's more than decent, but limited to an extent.)
Vikander - 3.5(Quite liked her titular song delivery. Otherwise this is a fairly basic role as the struggling mother who is loving in one way, though also frustrated seemingly by the inconsistency of all the men in her life. Vikander is effective though within the confines of the character.)

8000's:
Garbo is always good and usually great so of course she'd be great. Cotten would've been MUCH better than Peck was there though.
I thought I had, anyways, Garbo would've been great, however that would've completely changed the dynamics of this film with a older woman looking back at her far past life, rather feeling more recent as it is with Kerr.
Random question for everyone here: Is anyone familar with the A&E series "Bates Motel"?
That was a show I watched when it first aired, but eventually fell out of with the subsequent seasons. It certainly had an interesting concept and a fairly authentic setting, but I'm not sure it truly found greatness overall. I think it really started to lose me with some of the sideplots beyond Norman and mother, especially with a lot of the secondary roles split between okay enough and not so great performances.
If there’s any moment I would have cited Nighy for in Pirates, it would have been “my heart will always belong to you” in At World’s End. Granted, I’m an At World’s End defender (it’s better than any MCU movie, damn you all!), so I don’t know. But when I rewatched it for the first time in a decade last year, I gasped when he said that line in his normal voice. I had totally forgotten that.
Robert:
Well you won't hear me dissing Davy Jones in any regard, both films of the duology films for me actually are *almost* good, but just overly long and complicated. I think the story is there, there's really just way too much of it. Also I wish they hadn't Clouseaud Jack so much.
Louis: I won't defend Dead Man's Chest, but I found At World's End to be surprisingly moving on revisit. I know you're far from a Knightley or Bloom fan, but I was taken aback at how sad I was for their ultimate star-crossed fate. Also, whatever its excesses, I actually found the plottiness of it better-handled than Dead Man's Chest by a good margin.
Also, I'll defend some of Jack's scenes in AWE. His finding the Kraken washed up and his reaction to Will's death reminds me that whatever exaggerations they went to, Depp still had it in him when they asked. Also, he still has some genuinely hilarious moments (Arguing at the Locker with everyone, the beach negotiation, The Brethren Court)
Actually, I've been meaning to ask: Why is Kevin McNally so low on the ranking for 2003? His line reading of "Aye, sea turtles" warrants a 3.5 at a minimum.
Louis, your thoughts on Robert Elswit as a cinematographer? I was a bit surprised to not see There Will Be Blood not cited here (actually, 2007 as a whole is missing here, may I ask what that's about?)
Tony Kim: He hasn't gone back to that year for the bonus rounds yet. When he does, he'll include it here.
In fairness I used to be OK even with a comic relief-oriented Jack Sparrow... until I've watched Dead Men Tell No Tales.
I've never had much of a problem with Bloom or Knightley in those movies.
I think the only time At World's End worked for me was its appearance in Kingdom Hearts III, it along with Toy Story were the best worlds in that game.
Robert:
Unless I'm just not seeing it, I think I forgot to rank him, I like McNally there though(who I mixed up with Kevin Conway more times than I care to admit).
While I'll agree it's not all bad, I do hate that it seems like at a certain point they forgot that Jack was only playing the fool in the first film.
Tony Kim:
I believe I've given those before, but to briefly restate. Well to properly evaluate any cinematographer you need to take their work across filmmakers, as obviously PTA for example hasn't lost anything without him, though I have to imagine he must've learned much from him. I think in the collaboration is where you got something truly special. This as you take the rest of his work, it is typically consistently good but the level he reaches is very much based on the filmmaker he is working with. Where say Deakins, Delbonnel, Storaro hit greater hits with greater filmmakers, their work stands out regardless. That isn't always the case with Elswit. His work is typically better than the average film anyways, but his highs and lows correspond with who he's working with. PTA (Greatness), Clooney, Affleck, Dan Gilroy (Goodness), Gaghan, Tony Gilroy, Mamet (ehhh....).
Gotta say, if either Belle or Flee is snubbed from Animated that’ll be really bad, but the real crime is not having a single Belle song in the the shortlist!
Also I really liked it, have reservations but it’s definitely got so much passion and ambition behind it to admire and love.
Calvin:
