So has anyone seen this yet? How is it?

I heard it's basically a character profile, which reminds me a little of Dirty Wars. In fact Dirty Wars was mostly style with not much (new) substance.

Decent thread on >>>/leaks/110 about how he's probably part of a limited hangout operation.

His wikipedia talk page is also full of people pointing out inconsistencies in the Snowden story.

For this reason I'm not going to watch this movie or the upcoming one directed by Oliver Stone. I'd like to hear what others think of it though.

Well, the limited hangout theories started as soon as he leaked. It may be true, who knows. All inconsistencies are definitely worth a look though.

For maximum impact, I think he should have leaked during the election season. He did it right afterwards. Not much has changed, although I am glad this issue is more visible.

Boiling Frogs Post has probably been most critical of Snowden and Greewald, but that site also has me wondering "who is the real controlled opposition." They have interesting content but also like to push fringe ideas, often from Corbett.

Don't know if I'll watch this or not. My main concern is the lack of real content. I don't much care to learn about Edward the human bean.

> I heard it's basically a character profile

This review from a foreign policy website has essentially the same critique

http://fpif.org/citizenfours-personality-problem/

> Key questions go unanswered: How much information from Americans’ communications, Internet history, and location is collected by the NSA? How often was it accessed without a warrant? Did the NSA provide any data on foreign companies to those based in the United States? The NSA’s collection of this information alone is certainly cause for concern, even outrage, but greater clarity about these gray areas would have been helpful.


> A film might not be well-suited to capturing this nuance. About two-thirds of the way through the movie, Poitras displays some of the documents Snowden shared with the press. But without context or explanation, it’s hard to deduce much from them.


> Nonetheless, more might have been accomplished if the director were willing to focus more on investigation and less on personalities. For whatever reason, I don’t think Poitras was willing to do so. For example, she includes footage of Binney saying that after 9/11, the NSA started spying on everybody, and Appelbaum saying that the NSA actively attacks anyone it can if the agency perceives an advantage. But she neither challenges nor substantiates these claims, which seem likely to be exaggerations.


> The likeliest explanation for this shortcoming, to my mind, is that Poitras hoped to preserve a neater narrative — with clear heroes and villains — because that’s what audiences respond to most strongly.

With Kick Ass Torrents dead I'm at a loss for more commercial, art house or classic stuff.

Also, http://horrorcharnel.org/signup.php is now open for sign ups. Great place for horror, though the place is in need of a revamp.

ITT: Academic /film/ related stories

I assume i wasn't the only person who was lucky enough to study Film/Motion Pictures in the pre SJW times. Did you ever experience anything interesting or have stories to tell?

e.g:

>When it came to auteur theory aside from the mandatory goth chick writing about Tim Burton i was the only person in the class that didn't write about Quentin Tarantino.

>When being shown jurassic Park during a period on the history of SFX a student who was a self professed fundamentalist Christian left in outrage at this "moral degeneracy", 4 months later he would be removed from the course for attempting to rape a Lesbian girl on campus to "fix here"

>One of the final exam live study films was The Happiness of the Katakuris and one student handed in a single piece of paper with "I DONT GET IT I JUST LOVE FUCKING STAR WARS" on it. Surprisingly he was not Rich Evans.

>More than half the class fell asleep during Citzen Kane.

>The surprise hit was Perfect Blue by Satoshi Kon.

>When moving onto practical work and placement in the industry health and safety forms had to be signed swearing there was no chance of meteor strike, volcanic eruption of nearby nuclear conflict.

>Started 130 in year one, down to 5 in year 4, was one of 2 that graduated.

Not really film school I took a film and literature class.

>Literally the easiest class I've taken since pre school.

>I was hoping it would be a class where we'd watch different kinds of movies and analyze them.

>Basically, we'd learn about a certain genre and all the tropes in it, then watch three movies per genre

>The tests were basically questions to make sure we payed attention to the movie, and nothing analytical

>teacher ends up being pregnant and we get a substitute

>We go overboard on the documentary section since the sub didn't know what to show, we even watched a history channel documentary about the spartans

>Start Shakespeare, read much ado about nothing and watch both movie versions

>my friends and I always read with British accents or something to make it more interesting, while the rest of the idiots in that class read it all monotonous and can't even pronounce half the words

>Our original teacher comes back two weeks before school is out and the final is analyzing a foreign film of our choosing

>I choose Fires on the Plain

>Teacher loves it, get an A.

That class really made me lose my hope in humanity. We watched some really good movies, but most of the class didn't like them because they "were boring". They were also extremely dumb. I was never the top of any class, but I was probably one of the three smartest students in that class. I just hope none of them ever choose to vote.

He's very good at making his films seem transcendental. The weird, hypnotic mood of Uncle Boonmee was unlike anything I'd ever experienced. He seems fastinated by the idea of reincarnation, and UBWCRPL is probably the best film to encapsulate that. I'd definitely check it out if I were you.

"only"? A whole century is not that bad for an "invention without any future" as Louis Lumiere in 1896.

Anyway I don't think the cinema died. There's always been good and bad movies, it's as simple as that. Even nowadays there's still good movies.

I thought it fizzled out. The Celebration is quite nice but I never explored the movement very much. Come to think of it I haven't seen anything from Denmark in a long time.

I think it's more enjoyable to watch cheaply produced movies that aren't so self-conscious about their methods.

If it's okay for me to just beg here, what are some films involving alien space? I might be okay with their being a bit lowbrow - perhaps I can't expect every recommendation to be Stalker or Solaris, but then I'm not exactly looking for something of a human philosophical space, anyway: The thing is that I wish to see a world fundamentally unlike our own (or fundamentally unlike what we would see to have made our own, anyway) rendered as vividly - as coherently - as possible. Think cosmic horror, perhaps.

It's hard to get a more lowbrow view of alien space than Gayniggers from Outer Space, a classic cross-cultural documentary on human relations. Similar in quality is the masterfully-directed Garzey's Wing, notable for its high-quality English dub and deep storyline told through distinctly Japanese cinematography instead of expository dialogue.

i can and do, but it's music. i just like to observe my own life from a removed perspective, i don't really share what i make with people most of the time

i don't really expect to make anything worthwhile for a while, i don't really have my shit together enough to even write a script. my life is about as interesting as that video so i don't much to draw on. i made that one to explain my job to my (two) friends

As an outsider, I most say I'm probably more impressed of this board than any other on 8chan.

So keep up the good work, I guess

Anybody know where I can get a copy (digital or physical) of A Fugitive from the Past (1965) with english subtitles? Been meaning to watch it forever.

Whats up guys anyone interested in collaborating to make money selling bluray movies and 4k porn. I'm a noob in networking and I'm not a programmer but I know how to get content and I have close to 100 Bluray remuxes and counting on storage and some 4k porn. I don't bother with anything lesser quality. I have 1Gb connection and can nothing but time. So if anyone wants to talk about doing something let me know. Thanks.

I don't understand this scheme or who would buy them

Usually a big reason for buying a bluray is to get the retail packaging, booklet, etc

Then why are you commenting inconnu? And I am thinking of a streaming site or movie download site that is invite only and passworded. Movies would be added daily for download of streaming.

I've been really obsessed with Douglas Sirk and the lineage of directors he influenced. Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Pedro Almodóvar and Todd Haynes specifically. Could someone recommend some modern or classic melodramas or comedies with strong colors, aesthetics similar to 50's Hollywood and central female characters? This can also be gen. discussion thread for Sirk and his style.

I've seen more black and white "women's films" than color melodramas. Do any grills post here btw? It depends how strictly you define this category, I can recommend these:

Jezebel

The Snake Pit

All About Eve

Queen Christina

The Good Earth

Wuthering Heights

The Letter

The Little Foxes

Mrs. Miniver

Gaslight

Brief Encounter

Letter From an Unknown Woman

Mrs. Miniver was an interesting piece of wartime propaganda but I don't know if it counts as 'melodrama'.

Mankiewicz and Ophüls are good picks though.

The Good Earth could be a stretch too (but everyone should see it anyway)

I forgot about Ida Lupino, particularly Outrage (1950) but I think she made a few others that would also qualify.

I like what Sirk says to close out this clip:

Also, there's a new video essay called "The Vanity Tables of Douglas Sirk"

Has anyone seen it?

it's pretty interesting if you can filter out some of the narrator's cringey male feminism

This is probably the best film MTV has ever produced. I came in with no expectations except that it made me feel uncomfortable to watch as a kid. Alexander Payne deserves more recognition for his work.

Has anyone read the novel?

I like Alexander Payne but I've only seen About Schmidt and Sideways.

>>7335

> This is probably the best film MTV has ever produced

Based on the list I'm inclined to agree, sight unseen. Payne seems like the most competent film director in the bunch. In fact it's a little odd that he'd be involved with an MTV project at all.

I feel like in 1999 mtv still had a shred of credibility, I bet Payne saw it as an opportunity to not only get the movie made, but have the mtv marketing juggernaut behind his project as well.

I haven't seen pootie tang or black dynamite, someone should ask cucktino. He knows everything there is to know about bbcs, blacksploitation and i haets witey.

I've been led to believe the director of Pootie Tang is even more qualified to speak on such matters

but i thought Black Dynamite was great. def worth a look
