The most heavy handed short almost always win the live action short Oscar and I hope that doesn’t spread to animated.

Reply to comment by AChocolateHouse in Was Sergei Eisenstein an overrated classic director? by AChocolateHouse
I thought both parts of Ivan The Terrible were great though unlike many experts I prefer the second to the first. Since I thought both Mirror and Stalker were only pretty good but really boring movies I never bothered watching Andrei Rublev. I was on my last day of my free Criterion trial where I was watching the films near the top of the 2012 S&S 100 and my choice was quit now or watch Andrei Rublev and then quit and I proudly picked quit now. At that point I had seen the top 26 in the S&S and while all were good or better Mirror was the worst for me.

Well we disagree on two things since I think Eisenstein is great and Tarkovsky is incredibly overrated.

It is strange that West Point has till the end of this year to rename everything. The three roads that need renaming are pretty easy to do since they are less expensive than buildings. Two are so small the cost is only $1000 and the even Lee Road will only cost $3000.

If the library in your city of county gives free Kanopy memberships a bunch of Oscar nominated shorts are available there. A bunch are under 20 minutes so you might need to show two.

It was a great reimagining of the Prometheus myth combined with a descent into madness movie where you don’t know whether one or both men were pretty crazy at the start.

Reply to comment by red_riders in I need one movie recommendation from 2022 to make 50 movies total. by red_riders
The whole idea of a director making a partially autobiographical movie about a vacation with her father and using it to try to explore the mental problems which lead to his suicide five years later was fascinating to me. The movie accomplished its goal in a masterful way.

Aftersun was my #1 movie of the year. I am glad the streaming price dropped radically late last week since I need to watch it again.

Reply to I'm torn between seeing two movies I'm not really interested in seeing. What are your thoughts on Plane vs. Missing? by Help_An_Irishman
My cutoff for bother to go to the theaters is a Metacritic score of 70 or more so Missing’s 66 and Plane’s 62 means skip to me.

Reply to How do you decide how much to rate a film? by fosjanwt
The only rating I do of a film is whether it is good enough to make my best of the year list and where it fits in the current list. Since my 2023 list has zero films it will be pretty easy to make it since my judgement changes to whether the movie I just saw was good and if so is it good enough to make my top ten in a really bad movie year.

At the local festival I buy a pass that lets me see nearly all films. One time the movie sucked so bad I walked out and went to a movie that was so bad I walked out and went to a movie starting a half hour later. That movie also seemed bad so I walked out and went to the next movie that was starting. I should have stayed in the second one since it seemed better than the third one.

Unfortunately it will probably take Ukraine until the end of 2023 to win this war and beat the evil Russians so I will be able to point out that everything isn’t absolutely perfect until then.

Reply to comment by spatenfloot in FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried indicted on new criminal charges, including campaign finance violations | CNN Business by spatenfloot
The new FTX management has already sent claw back letters to get the political donations returned. Some will presumably be returned within a few months but there is a good chance that the bankruptcy court will need take action to get most of the money back. The vast majority of the money will eventually be returned but it could take years.
