Has there ever been a film that properly portrays pooping? I'm not trying to shitpost I'm dead serious. On occasion I'll be pooping and think "How would this translate properly into film?" Is there any movie that properly portrays this?

How do I get into watching cinema (without film school)? It seems really hard to get into and understand. Recently I have been watching some films by Refn, P.T.A, Harmony Korine, Kubrick etc. I am well aware this is not the lofty heights of cinema but it has at least cracked open the door for me in wanting to see films with a more artistic bent. However whenever I try and look for more stuff to watch, the recommendations are the same A24 releases that I don't really care for. I tried to find one of those "must watch" lists also and it was basically just a bunch of pop culture meme movies like "The Goonies" and "Ghostbusters" that everyone and their grandma has seen.

So, how do I do it? How does somebody get into truly appreciating film? Pic related is probably the closest thing i've seen to "real cinema" and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Also looking for some starter recommendations of what I should watch first. Also I know >spoonfeeding but I figured you guys wouldn't mind considering this isn't a huge board.

Anyone want to share alternate transfers for movies they like?

For instance, the Attack of The Clones Blu Ray is a hot mess, but the HDTV capture on MySpleen is a lot better, bitrate aside.

We could also make this a thread about best available transfers.

For example, David Fincher has one film not on Blu Ray (Panic Room) but it is on Superbit DVD.

It's Playtime by Jacques Tati. If you're new to the director I suggest Mr. Hulot's Holiday as initiation to his peculiar style. His comedic sensibilities carry a distinct influence from the silent era -- minimal dialog and many sight gags.

Playtime was his most ambitious project, shot on the expansive canvas of 70mm. It's one of those films you want to see on the largest screen possible.

I tried to think of examples of open matte releases where you see more than you're supposed to see and it spoils the illusion. The only thing I could find is from the 2008 German bluray of American Psycho.

I have vague memories of some film about a sex change operation released in open matte where you discover the tranny character is actually just a woman. Something like that anyway.

I've been reading Kenneth Anger's infamous book on the lurid history of Hollywood. What do people here think of it?

I don't know Anger's own biography. But I'm surprised an experimental filmmaker would be so obsessed by celebrity culture. Granted he's gay...

As for the book itself, it's more a collection of popular folklore than a rigorous investigation of facts. Fresh-faced starlets are said to live dark private lives of drugs, sex, and death. Often the stories do not ring true, but IMHO they still resonate because of peoples' desire to project cinematic fantasy into reality.

Anyway here's a couple links if you want to take a look. The book is pretty cheap on Amazon too.

here's a weird one -

> Grahame's fourth and final marriage was to actor Anthony "Tony" Ray, the son of her second husband Nicholas Ray and his first wife Jean Evans; Anthony Ray was her former stepson. Their relationship reportedly began when Tony Ray was 13 years old and Grahame was still married to his father (which effectively ended the marriage when Nicholas Ray caught the two in bed together).

Thanks guys, I heard about this book but never read it. Our old pal Nick Bougas was interested in this type of stuff.

There was a bad TV series based on this book. I'd never seen it before but I just noticed one episode is on youtube. The episode features stories about Junkie John Belushi, Nympho Vivian Leigh, Faggot Charles Laughton. Hosted by Tony Curtis.

So I'm in this fb group that posts film stills and the lets people guess what it's from. I thought this would be a fun thing to start on this board.

Rules:

- Film stills in this situation are excerpts DIRECTLY from the movie. No production stills, no behind the scenes footage, NO CROPPING (ratio is important) and no posters or similar material.

- GIFs are encouraged, OC GIFs even more.

- Please post films only. No series, music videos or youtube stuffs.

- Of course you can google but that takes the fun out of it so please don't.

- Hints can be given in any form. Extra stills, music, release date etc.

- Please try to wait with posting a new still until the previous one is guessed. Let's do one at a time to keep it organised.

- When you post a still, keep track of it and let us know when it had been guessed. I suggest we post imdb links along with the 'you guessed right!' post so it is easy to find out wether a still has been guessed right or not.

- Please link correctly and add 'Hint' to your post when you post a hint.

Tips:

1. Make your own stills in VLC or anything similar, they have a direct screenshot option in VLC so you don't have to printsceen your movies, printscreening results in worse quality most of the time. This also prevents reverse image searching and stuff.

2. It's a lot of fun to post well known movies with unrecognizable stills.

3. Watch out for filenames!

I guess that's it. I suggest harder stills than the one I'm posting now but let's start off easy.

http://variety.com/2015/film/news/manoel-de-oliveira-dead-oldest-filmmaker-dies-at-106-1201465173/

> Manoel de Oliveira, the oldest living active filmmaker, with a career that spanned nine decades from the silent era to the present, has died. He was 106. News of Oliveira’s death was confirmed on the website for the city of Porto, Portugal, where the director was born in 1908.


> Oliveira had completed only two features by age 55 but subsequently made 29 by the time he was 102. Even more unusual is that one of these films, “Memories and Confessions,” was not to be publicly shown, by the director’s expressed wishes, until his death — meaning that a new Oliveira film may be soon unveiled. The director’s most recent film, “The Old Man of Belem,” premiered at last year’s Venice Film Festival.

Another one bites the dust! Richard L. Bare was best known for directing the TV series Green Acres. He had died a few days before Oliveria but his IMDB page was not yet updated.

Currently the oldest Western director is the 95 year-old Michael Anderson who made Logan's Run. His last project was The New Adventures of Pinocchio in 1999.

Michael Anderson dead at 98!

Lester James Peries just turned 99 a few weeks ago. It looks like he is still alive.

Most obituaries for Michael Anderson point out that

< Romeo and Juliet's Franco Zeffirelli, 95, is now the oldest living person to receive a best director nomination

I've seen a few Korean Horror/Thriller films and enjoyed them.

I got into the genre because I was tired of western horror and the western remakes of j-horror put me off of that.

Of the movies I've seen, they're all fairly hit and miss. There are good ones, but there are also some very simple and predictable and cliched ones that aren't as enjoyable.

Are there any other fans of Korean film out there that can recommend some things?

IMDB isn't much help because all korean films pretty much have a rating of ~6 and only a few reviews done by people who clearly have no idea what they're talking about, and I don't know what sites I should go to in order to find more accurate ratings and reviews for asian films.

It sounds like you wanted "good" movies, but this one is too strange to overlook

Pulgsari – North Korean Medieval Godzilla

Produced by Kim Jong Il and directed by a filmmaker they kidnapped from the south

What have you liked so far?
This list seems to cover a lot of the basics, although maybe you've already know about it.

This is a helpful list for asian horror in general, but I am more interested in the Korean aspect of things.

I like movies like Into the Mirror more than Ringu or Noroi.

To be frank, "horror" movies don't scare me any more, and are more like paranormal mystery stories than actual suspenseful films.

Has there ever been a fantasy film outside of the Fellowship of the Ring that one could consider cinematic?

One could argue for Ridely Scotts Legend but it doesn't have the same epic scale as FotR.

Dragonslayer is dreadful, it is seriously a terrible fucking movie. Absolutely not worth checking out.

Yeah it's a lot of fun to watch. Bajrang-bali (1976), a mystical Hindu epic.

It's a rubbish film, but the dragons in it were very well done, as far as I can remember. Very smooth and believable motion(makes it worth an uncommited evening to see).
