TV/Movies Megathread

[Duque de Bragança]

This one is for Savonarola

The Killer (1989)

Another great restauration, no AI-cleaning crapfest/adulteration à la James Cameron and his tech bros (hello True Lies), of the 35 mm movie.
Comparable to Hard Boiled for the quality of the DCP.

I remember a screening with reels jumpings every now and then, with some breaks literally, a dozen years ago or so in an arthouse in the Latin Quarter.

4K Blu-ray scheduled for March over here. The French DVD I had was good for its time, unlike the Criterion  , but that was 20 years ago.

Movie is arguably John Woo's most famous.

Saw an interesting movie on TCM the other day. A German movie made in 1946 in the Soviet zone. It was called something like The Murderers Among Us and was about a German soldier who feels remorse for a killing aktion in Poland. Interestingly the main actor was an ex SS officer.

The ending was meh---but I read the occupying powers didn't like his original ending

Watched Bugonia. I enjoyed the Korean original more - I think the concept is so bizarre that you kinda need that unhinged tonal shift thing that Asians pull off so well for some reason. There's so much ridiculous stuff side-by-side with genuinely grisly material. That said, Lanthimos is probably the best Western director for the material, and Emma Stone is simply incredible in this, Plemons too.

No but James Bond/handsome men age into silver foxes or "age like fine wine". Attractive women become "old ladies" It's like the older male star with the improbably young and intom him female co-star, while older women are sent to the character actress mines.

I find this weird in this era where the internet clearly wants to have sex with their middle aged step moms.

I watched a preview of Sisu.  Finnish movie. They made a second one.  It's on my watch list.  So will be the second one once it gets on Blu Ray.

It looks like they have their own Quentin Tarantino over there.

How come such small countries can make movies so good and we're stuck making boring love stories?
