Poast new message in this thread
Date: September 22nd, 2025 12:01 PM Author: swashbuckling point associate I have only seen a few since I hated most of them
S tier: There Will Be Blood C tier: Punch-Drunk Love D tier; Boogie Nights, The Master
Haven't seen: Hard Eight Magnolia Inherent Vice - looks stupid Phantom Thread - looks good maybe, need to watch Licorice Pizza - looks horrendous One Battle After Another - people are raving about this Online but the trailer is very bad.

Date: September 29th, 2025 12:52 AM Author: aggressive deer antler In 1997 it was implicitly commenting on and foreseeing the problems of the nascent pornification of the culture in a way that is hard to understand if you weren’t old enough to have seen it within a year or so of its release. Literally half of all web searches were porn 97-99, and you had the weird, disorienting phenomenon of these playmates going legit with Pam Anderson and Jenny McCarthy and active hardcore actresses (and Ron Jeremy) seemingly overnight being cast in a bunch of normal Hollywood productions. The movie wants you to consider its subject (who was an obvious avatar for a specific figure who remained known and notorious through out the 80s and 90s), and the 70s porn scene in that context, and in the broader context of the nostalgia that the 90s had for 70s pop culture, especially transgressive pop culture, in general. This is why younger millennials and Gen Z don’t and really can’t get Boogie Nights. But elder millennials and Gen X who don’t get it are usually autistic faggots who don’t like thinking about their gayness and socially defective brains.

Date: September 22nd, 2025 12:04 PM Author: swashbuckling point associate I think most of his movies appeal to Gen X somehow in a way that eludes me. TWBB is a masterpiece maybe because the time period it is set in meant he had to make a real movie instead of appealing to gen x (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5778652&forum_id=2/en-en/#49291186) |

I thought it was OK but not great, but I'm only 1/2 white. |
