His picks where all pretty entry level tier
what picks in the criterion do you believe are not entry level?
Film is an inherently entry level medium. When a Criterion guest begins pontificating on Russian literature, then I will be impressed.
>Dude you have to read this Russian book
>Yeah it's super deep and so smart
>I literally couldn't put it down, it changed my life
>So it's about these brothers and their dad and they keep telling at each other like women
The Brothers K is very readable if you're open to the door-stopper genre.
This.
Why are you on Cinemaphile if you don't like film?
Russian lit is entry level Cinemaphile. Real Cinemaphile is with the Greeks.
start with the indo-europeans
The Greeks are literally the entry level of real literature.
name ten ancient tibetan scrolls you've read in shedras under the guidance of a ganden tripe, karmapa, sakya trizin or other senior teacher
There's quite a few obscure movies in the Eclipse collections, and recently they've put out a lot of stuff nobody cares about.
Paul Dano and Michael Cera had some great picks. The guys like fart humor along with their kino
Criterion is made for people who want to sound smart.
>Guys look at me I watch le heckin' slow burn art house movies, look how smart I am!
He chose the most mainstream shit imaginable, in what fricking world is Barry Lyndon or Punch Drunk Love or Tokyo Story or Do the Right Thing obscure. If he had less milquetoast taste them maybe his movie wouldn't have been terrible LOL.
>NOOOO YOU HAVE TO LIKE THE HECKIN' OBSCURE MOVIES!
Posters like this should not just be banned, they should have their hands and feet removed, boiled and fed back to them when they're ravished after 15 days of starvation.
I know you're baiting but my point is that these are mainstream movies, Do the Right Thing and Being There were absolutely huge when they released (I hate Do the Right Thing btw and Being There isn't funny.)
Tokyo Story is one of the most famous Japanese movies ever made and Punch Drunk Love is a fricking Adam Sandler movie.
if you want to be able to write something worthwhile then you need to be willing to consume stories outside of your comfort zone in order to gain references for facets of the human experience
if you work in the industry surely youd have taste a bit more cultivated than a 15 year olds
>No you can't just like what movies you like, you HAVE to watch shit nobody cares about and pretend you like it to be smart or something!
You can do whatever the frick you want dude, I'm just telling you that if you consoom nothing but safe and generic shit then 90% of the time that's what you'll end up writing if you go into a creative field. This isn't a problem for 99% of people so who cares.
>what you'll end up writing
Lol lmao even
classic Black person IQ
>it's ok to not develop your media literacy, curiosity, or appreciation for the medium you work in
This!!! Let people enjoy things
you sound very american right now
movies are products of the media industry
only women and NPCs value this shit
So why are you on Cinemaphile?
someone's 16 year old brother is on the computer again
link?
Most people have nostalgic picks.
Why do plebbitors care so much about having "LE OBSCURE TASTE!"?
go on r/movies and see how much they jerk off to Starship Troopers and Last Action Hero and Nolan/Tarantino/Aster/Eggers movies and then genuinely tell me that Redditors have watched any obscure movies ever
How do you even know what r/movies is like if your not a plebbitor?
Reconnaissance
>how do you have a general idea of something being shit unless you're a member of that thing
gee man idk. Do you hate trannies? Then you must secretly be a troony XDDD!!!!!
moron logic
That's not a general idea, you literally know what movies they like or jerk off about.
not really, I know what movies are popular with 12-40 year old men and then projected that onto reddit because reddit generally represents the interest of average millennial men. I worked at a movie theater for 2 years in the 2010s so I'm also using that as reference.
If you check out r/movies right now you'll see I'm right.
I am not going on r/movies as I don't use plebbit. You just seem overly confident in knowing what reddit is like. It's one thing to assume what they'll like, and another to KNOW what they like exactly.
Charlie Day is a normie moron and I'm glad his movie flopped.
>ITT pretentious film nerds fight each other in a slap fight over who’s a “real” film nerd and who’s just a poser
I am a real film nerd because I sucked Batmans and Supermans dicks!
You tell them, sister! I love Barbie too! *dilates*
