Fresh (2022)
You posted it already anon.
Great film, loved it. If you didn't, I don't give a frick.
bump
My pick is Everything Everywhere All At Once
i prefer Nothing Nowhere Never
EEAAO is the best movie of the last few years
its a movie. sure
you already posted it OP
i hope it wins
Are you joking? Best picture is le quirky dildo Kung fu?
"So, even though you have broken my heart yet again, I wanted to say, in another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you."
"The only thing I do know is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind. Especially when we don't know what's going on."
it speaks to Cinemaphile's nihilism, Black person
Top Gun Maverick.
Keyed
das it mayne
Pretty much. I've seen a handful. EEAAO was overall a very good movie with a great core drama but marred by reddit humor. Unbearable Weight of Massiv Talent was good but it was also marred by "member Nic Cage he's been in movies!" Northman was good but Eggers whole "lmao le trippy visuals" don't do him favors when he tries to tackle a film whose story is heavy with realism. Maverick was just pure joy.
Most shilled film? Yeah definitely op.
so far my favorite film this year is either the unbearable weight of massive talent or everything everywhere all at once
>This year’s fallen movie standards match the disappointment felt everywhere — in style, messaging, and leadership. Fanboy favorite Everything Everywhere All at Once epitomized the faithlessness at the heart of comic-book culture.
> Unconcerned about the existence or nature of God, Evelyn is caught up in a materialistic world of new beliefs (her beta-male husband, lesbian daughter, and feminist IRS inspector). The film’s writing-directing team the Daniels (Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, respectively Asian and Caucasian) challenge the real world by surrounding Evelyn in a circus-like multiverse — the new atheist box-office utopia. Evelyn’s journey toward self-empowerment comes down to tortured Buddhism — just as the Daniels make tortured, semi-jokey art films.
>Unschooled Marvel addicts who never heard of Kafka, Buñuel, or Chuck Jones easily fall for the entropy farce. The Daniels refuse narrative convention in order to represent our culture’s gradual decline into disorder. Their millennial solipsism — Evelyn against the world, through various dimensions — celebrates autism as insight.
>The film’s ultimate message: “Be Kind,” spoken by two rocks. It’s a childish palliative, unlike the recent self-critical protest songs by Van Morrison and Bob Dylan that insist on responsible personal choices. Yeoh brings adult stability to the blackout-skit chaos and cast of “stupid human” clowns. But the Daniels reduce life to “just a statistical inevitability, it’s nothing special.”
Being atheist is a good thing though
I agree but it’s an analogy, he’s talking about the movie’s pointlessness
>Their millennial solipsism — Evelyn against the world, through various dimensions — celebrates autism as insight.
Kino sentence. Armond doesn't miss.
>a circus-like multiverse — the new atheist box-office utopia.
The man is a wordsmith. Hard to hate him even if he's a literal Black personhomosexual
>Daniels reduce life to “just a statistical inevitability, it’s nothing special”.
I don’t get this. Joy is the one saying that and Evelyn almost buys into that worldview and starts ruining her lives in other multiverses by acting selfishly. It’s realising that this is wrong that causes her to mend things in other multiverses and save Joy.
So “be kind” in other words.
White understands thabut he’s dismissing it as a “childish palliative” (which it is) because it’s a complete cliche and meaningless.
>a “childish palliative” (which it is) because it’s a complete cliche and meaningless
is it meaningless because it's cliche? if that's the case, then your statement says more about you than it does the phrase "be kind".
>Kafka, Buñuel, or Chuck Jones
It's kind of amazing seeing Chuck Jones in the same sentence as Buñuel and Kafka.
I may not agree with a lot of stuff Armond says, but dude's really smart. Hard to read any of his reviews without getting something out of it.
A good education is it’s own reward. There’s a reason you don’t see people making cool and insightful connections like that anymore.
*its, and in my defense I’m a phonegay
Fricking based. Marvel brainlets with shit taste btfo as usual
Botnet thread
Why this movie makes Cinemaphile so mad?

Top Gun: Maverick
Serious responses only please.
>sure you can't buy a house, find a job, find an in-group who accepts you without us subverting it, or have any connection to your culture and society, but that's OKAY, because what matters is FAMILY and building CREDIT. Now, get a job and let us continue building your prison of debt and student loans - don't be a BAGEL and annihilate your potential economic worth to our neo-liberal system!
The Northman and Top Gun: Maverick. Hollywood doesn’t make good movies anymore so I’m more or less just reading literature at this point.
Northman duh
Everything everywhere all at once is the only 2022 film I've seen so far. It's biggest offense is the ending takes way too long to wrap up. A bunch of talking for no reason other than to seem deep I guess? Rest of it wasn't awful so that's nice
>only film i've seen in 2022
jesus christ Cinemaphile really went to shit. Go back you useless Black person
not a whole lot to work with though. red rocket was kino but that's 2021
you are right. frick 2022
All the ones I've seen this year actually turned out to have been released in 2021.
Except "The Adam Project", but that was a 2/5 at most, so I am willing to believe there has been at least one better film released so far.
I thought it might be this, but it's from 2021.
>The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
>The Northman
>The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Not nearly as poignant as Pig IMO
Correct but Pig came out last year. Great movie though. I liked how they made the truffle buyer sidekick as obviously israeli as possible.
>Doctor Strange
>Top Gun
>Northman
In that order
Beavis and Butt-Head do the Universe
>The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
>The Batman
>RRR
>The Northman
I watched this last night and it's the first time in many years I've considered turning a film off before the credits roll. An absolutely grating experience filled with tonal whiplash, homages to Asian cinema without the skill to reproduce anything properly, an overlong mishmash of nihilistic non-sequiturs. To top it all off, it's incredibly pretentious. Behind the winks and gags and aloof wacky horseshit, the Daniels were obviously sniffing their own farts, impressed by how deep their own work is. It has been a long time since a movie so thoroughly annoyed the shit out of me almost its entire runtime. I see now why homies here were calling it peak redditcore.
I just watched this and I spent the entire movie repeating the words "this is reddit, this is memes, this is reddit, this is memes..." under my breath.
I fricking hated it. I was writhing around on the floor in front of the chair for the last 30 minutes it was so painful.
>Ayy quirky A24 movie lmao
If you liked it you're in the wrong place
I mean it's fine it's a well made movie whatever, it's not trash but I didn't finished it, it doesn't deserve your time. Even posting on Cinemaphile is more profound and memorable but it's nothing to rage against.
>released December 2021
Haven't seen much.
Probably this. Weakest Joe feature but still pretty good.
no contest for me
Dude, what if How to Train your Dragon was sea monsters?
>frizzy haired Black person female
That’s a skip for me big dog
As opposed to those Black folk with naturally straight hair?
>Frizzy haired
They unironically did a better job at realistically showing black hair than any other animated movie. The little girl's hair even coiled when it got wet
It definitelly won't be everyone's cup of tea. But I loved every minute of Something in the Dirt (same directors as The Endless).
The whole thing was filmed almost entirelly during lockdown, so it's really fun to see how they get around it by using a lot of what looked like stock footage.
Otherwise, loved EEaaO & The Northman
Still have to check out RRR which I'm SURE will be good because Bahubali is a goddamn masterpiece. Also only hear good things about Top Gun so I'll definitelly check that out
Did you see it at Sundance?
I heard Synchronic sucks.
The Endless is kinda cool except the ending where everything is defeated by the power of love or something, that was kinda cringe.
Spring is their best film (they did Spring too, right?).
Definitelly agree with The Endless's ending being the weakest part of the film. SitD is more consistent in that regard, even if I get some criticism that it overstays it's welcome as the all of the main character's attempts at understanding the supernatural phenomenon they're trying to film doesn't get them anywhere and instead just causes more confusion; but that the movie is really about is their friendship breaking down as they try to film their documentary, and thei interactions throughout are genuinelly very funny
i will literally never watch this flick shilled and loved by unironic redditors and blmtards
>le whacky asian feel xD
