Mulholland Dr. 1y6b31 1999 - ★★★½

Sun, 15 Jun 2025 22:43:20 +1200

6u532b

Note that this listing is not for the finished film Mulholland Drive, which released in 2001, but instead for its initial cut, shot and edited together in 1999, from when it was still being conceptualized as a TV series, as a sort of quasi-spin-off of Twin Peaks. Not in the sense that it was meant to take place in the same universe, but with how it would've followed a similar storytelling philosophy to early Twin Peaks. Northwest age, Twin Peaks' pilot, already felt like it could've been a movie (and to be fair, it literally was sold as a direct to VHS movie in Europe), but this is pretty clearly unfinished. I love Mulholland Drive, but the sauce isn't quite there yet.

I quite the idea of the mystery of Rita's identity and why she's being pursued as a series hook parallel to Twin Peaks' mystery of who killed Laura Palmer, so it is very interesting to imagine how the story may have differed if it things had gone to plan, but as it stands, this is generally just a weaker version of the first half or so of the final movie, ending right after Betty and Rita's investigation into Diane's apartment.

This being said, there is ONE scene in this cut which didn't make it into the final cut. It's an additional scene featuring the detectives played by Robert Forster and Brent Briscoe from the beginning of the movie. This scene really doesn't add too much, mostly just confirming that they're still investigating the car crash, but it says to me that these characters likely would've been further explored and fleshed out had the story continued on TV. I can see why it was cut, the scene doesn't really lead anywhere after this, and adding an additional plotline for these characters alongside everything else would've bloated the story beyond belief, so I get the decision to leave them as brief cameo characters.

The Phoenician Scheme 1r2y3h 2025 - ★★★★½

Thu, 12 Jun 2025 15:45:33 +1200

I've seen some people say that they're getting tired of the Wes Anderson style, but I actually think it's kind of charming that this dude is just obsessed with one particular way a movie could look, and has the clout to just keep making movies like that forever, even if this one actually skews quite a bit darker than his usual fare.

so tom hanks and bryan cranston were definitely gay right

Yu 6o5y2d Gi-Oh! The Movie, 2004 - ★★★

Kuso 2i6o3d 2017 - ★★★

Mon, 9 Jun 2025 23:25:31 +1200

I ate an entire pack of cheddar shapes while watching this, which some may say was a bad idea, but I see as an additional challenge. George Clinton as a doctor with diarrhea that releases a cockroach-like creature named Mr. Quiggle has to be one of the more underrated musician cameos in film.

It's not exactly the most cohesive anthology film ever made, but I think even if it doesn't really gel with you, you kinda have to appreciate how it has what is probably the most insane line-up of composers in film history. What other movie out there features thirteen composers, with just three of them being Thundercat, Aphex Twin, and Akira Yamaoka? The answer is none, because this statistically shouldn't even have happened once.

Mufasa 676135 The Lion King, 2024 - ½

Fri, 6 Jun 2025 23:30:05 +1200

The Lion King (1994) is one of my favourite movies ever made. I believe it represents the apex of what Disney Animation Studios were capable of in their prime. It is both a colourful cartoon about talking animals and a Shakespearean drama about the exploitation of innocence and the cut-throat nature of nobility. I also don't particularly care for its extended universe.

The Lion King (2019) is, in my opinion, one of the worst movies ever made. It strips out any personality, metaphor, and really any and all artistic intent in general from the original in favour of nothing but realism. Believe it or not, I also don't care for this movie's extended universe, so my feelings regarding Mufasa shouldn't come as much of a shock.

AD/BC 4h6p1 A Rock Opera, 2004 - ★★★★

Wed, 4 Jun 2025 23:55:35 +1200

Tows the line being a parody and just being a genuinely good rock opera unbelievably close. My favourite barely acknowledged gag is how half the cast at least once casually drop the word Christ into a sentence well before Jesus is born.

Darkplace Illuminatum 6y10j 2006 - ★★★½

Tue, 3 Jun 2025 21:34:18 +1200

I can only imagine that this was originally a special feature on the DVD, which honestly makes it even funnier. Imagine working on Darkplace, and somehow thinking that you didn't commit to the bit hard enough, actually, so now you've gotta make an entirely fake making of documentary in character as the fictional actors that portrayed the characters in the show, which itself was already a show within the universe that the fictional actors, portrayed by real actors, inhabit. I don't even really mind the Graham Linehan cameo, because it's aged in such a way that it now reads like Matt Berry is calling him a grotesque alien monster.

"Bang goes my Hippocratic oath."
"Have you ever done that before?"
"What? Making love?"
"I mean, with a patient?"
"Yes, but they were dying -- it was their last wish."

Commits to the bit so hard that it's actually unbelievable that this aired on TV in 2004. This is the UK's Black Dynamite, every country needs one.

Rango 6c5f6r 2011 - ★★★½

Sun, 1 Jun 2025 22:22:58 +1200

Let's be totally real here, Gore Verbinski mainly called in Roger Deakins to work on this movie to flex his access to the most famous cinematographer in the industry. I know this to be true because this wasn't even the first animated movie Deakins worked on, he also served as visual consultant for How to Train Your Dragon, which released one year prior and was not publicized nearly as much.

Fri, 30 May 2025 23:58:13 +1200

Actually unreal that an animated movie like this was not only made in the 2020s, but in , because this is some real bubble economy Japan cyberpunk OVA anime shit. Also a tad Shinichiro Watanabe-esque? Perhaps this is the most Japanese French movie since Le Samouraï.

]]>

Ganbare Goemon 4e5k5o The Nightmare of the Dimensional Castle, 1991 - ★★½

Wed, 28 May 2025 21:42:38 +1200

Proof that anniversary projects were often just as self-referential and fanservicey 30 years ago as they are now. Less an actual adaptation of the Goemon games, and more so a framing device for references to other Konami games. There's a novelty to seeing references to a couple games never brought up today, like Antarctic Adventure, but other than that it's not that interesting.

]]>

Silent Hill 4o5v2s Revelation 3D, 2012 - ½

Mon, 26 May 2025 23:10:34 +1200

Actually the same tier of adaptation as The Last Airbender or Dragon Ball Evolution, though for my money, I'd actually say this movie is worse. I felt that one of the strengths of the first Silent Hill movie was precisely that it WASN'T a direct adaptation of any of the games. Sure, it took heavy inspiration from the first game, but it was, at its core, a fairly original story.

Revelation attempts to be an adaptation of Silent Hill 3 (while also trying to be a sequel to the first movie...). On one hand, this should make me excited, Silent Hill 3 isn't just my favourite Silent Hill game, it's also one of my favourite pieces of horror media in general, and Heather Mason is probably my favourite horror protagonist ever written. But it's also one of those stories that is constructed so tightly that messing with it even a little bit causes the whole thing to fall apart spectacularly. The theme of a young woman's fear of adult feminine expectations, which I feel practically dominate the game from start to finish, are barely present here at all. Like, literally nothing at all until the very end of the movie.

Credit where credit is due, though, Adelaide Clemens is pretty perfectly cast as Heather. She's pretty much a dead ringer in the zoomed out shots.

The Making of Silent Hill 2 576n2a 2001 - ★★★★

Mon, 26 May 2025 16:05:53 +1200

this is a re of a logging i made earlier this year, the date is correct. the making of silent hill 2 was briefly removed from letterboxd, before appearing again.

There's no question regarding whether or not Silent Hill 2 deserves its reputation as being one of the most well-respected pieces of horror media ever, but it does kind of leave the franchise in an odd position if you think about it. Its story and how it is presented are really nothing like any other game in the original series, and yet it is also the most popular game in the franchise. It's like if Halloween III somehow became the most popular movie in that series.

It is also extremely funny to learn that Maria's unpredictable nature was inspired by Takayoshi Sato going to see Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and feeling like all the characters looked too perfect.

2001 2725y A Space Odyssey, 1968 - ★★★★★

Sat, 24 May 2025 13:07:49 +1200

Finally back to digging through my pile of blu-rays I've owned since 2019 and still haven't touched. A great example of a movie where it's best to just totally ignore everything anybody has ever said about it and to just let it wash over you.

I started this at 9am and my cats were still trying to sleep. The prologue utterly transfixed one of them in a manner I've never seen from her before. She showed no outward emotion, never made a single sound, but would not tear her eyes away, but then the EXACT MOMENT it was over, and we cut to space, she lost interest and went back to sleep. Big monkey fan over here.

Mank 1o2x5y 2020 - ★★½

Thu, 22 May 2025 23:23:28 +1200

Loads of directors have that one (or few) film(s) that lowkey nobody gives a fuck about. David Lynch has The Straight Story, Quentin Tarantino has Deathproof, the Coen Brothers have The Ladykillers, and Edgar Wright has A Fistful of Fingers. This type of movie is not necessarily bad, I haven't seen The Straight Story, but all the other movies I just mentioned I think are at least okay, but they'll never be brought up when discussing their director's most iconic or infamous work.

For David Fincher, I feel like most would have previously said his was Panic Room (some may say Alien 3, but to be fair, that film has its fair share of haters and defenders), but I think Mank deserves that spot now, because even though it is less than half a decade old, it already feels as if it has been totally forgotten. Couple that with the fact that it doesn't even really feel like a Fincher film at all, and this isn't likely to be anyone's favourite Fincher t, even if, ittedly, its very existence is kind of sweet, being that it's based on a screenplay written decades prior by Fincher's late father.

Empire of Light 5p2p3b 2022 - ★

Wed, 21 May 2025 22:32:15 +1200

There's a lot of talent swirling around this movie, but I feel like it didn't really result in anything particularly meaningful. I've never seen a Sam Mendes movie before, so I'll refrain from commenting on him as a director, but Olivia Colman gives a pretty good performance, Roger Deakins' cinematography does a great job capturing the vibe of coastal England, and Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' score, while far from their best work, captures the whimsical melancholy feeling that I'm sure Mendes was going for quite well.

But the story is bland beyond belief. Perhaps I'm a little biased, as much as I love media about creating media (for instance, I adored Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken, an anime about hobbyist animation), I tend to not really connect with media about the "magic" of the medium it belongs to (not to say there are no good movies that fit this criteria, I've heard great things about Cinema Paradiso, for instance). It often feels a tad lazy to me, like... yeah, movies are cool. That's why I'm watching one, I don't need the movie I'm watching to tell me that movies are cool.

The film also tries to be about mental illness and racism, and it struggles with both topics. The message about mental illness is frankly barely there at all, and the racism... at this point, I honestly feel like white screenwriters ought to just avoid the topic of historical racism in general if it would end up taking up more than like, 20% of the story. No white guy is ever going to write an If Beale Street Could Talk, yet for some reason, it keeps being attempted.

Twin Peaks 3d2p1n 1989 - ★★★★

Sun, 18 May 2025 14:25:56 +1200

"What year is this?"

David Lynch writing a scene where a character that he plays goes on an imioned rant about how much he s his trans colleagues is possibly the realest thing a screenwriter has ever done.

Probably the weakest season in my eyes just for what I get out of Twin Peaks (which I think is a pretty unpopular opinion nowadays, people seem to really hate the episodes of season 2 that didn't feature any contributions from David Lynch or Mark Frost, personally I think they're just okay, certainly not bad enough to drag the rest of the season down with them), but nevertheless, this is still an utterly insane experience, it feels less like a third season of Twin Peaks, there's very little of that soap opera/police procedural hijacked by experimental artists feeling present here, rather this feels more like an 18 hour long David Lynch movie, but also not the same kind of movie that Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me was, this is not a depressingly intimate psychological horror story about one person's deep-seated anguish and personal hell, if I had to compare it to anything else from Lynch's filmography, it would probably, weirdly enough, be Eraserhead (though there's certainly a bit of Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive in there too). There's quite a bit of that movie's "just settle in and let the art take you where it wants to go, even if it makes you uncomfortable" vibes going on here, not to suggest that this feeling isn't present in much of Lynch's other work, but if you've seen Eraserhead, I think you'll understand what I mean.

Twin Peaks season 3, I believe, is an intentional inversion of the usual TV reunion tropes. It's okay with you feeling a little nostalgic, but it does not want you to feel safe.

A Minecraft Movie 112w1i 2025 - ★★

Sat, 17 May 2025 22:40:29 +1200

I won't argue against how moments of this movie are quite funny in a "this is unbelievably stupid" kind of way, but I don't think that's enough to allow me to give it an ironically good score, mainly because the downtime between these moments tends to be quite dull (at best, you'll get a visual reminding you of a mechanic from the game, but even these really aren’t that interesting), but also because I feel like the production's corporate nature kinda precludes me from doing that anyway. People wouldn't like The Room so much if it wasn't the product of one insane man's mind.

Look, I know having genuine expectations for a movie based on Minecraft is a stupid idea, I know this, you know this, but is it genuinely still too much to ask for video game movies to actually resemble their source material? I fucking hated Illumination's Mario movie, but I felt that if that movie did anything good for the industry, it proved that big budget movie adaptations of video games could just look like the games and still be successful, meanwhile this movie looks like Detective Pikachu.

Do not take this review as me saying the movie has no value, however. I think in a few years, it will be ed as a kind of midnight movie, not unlike Eraserhead, in a weird way. I think Warner Bros. are probably already trying to make this happen, considering they've cashed in on the trend of acting rowdy while seeing it by releasing a cut that actively encourages audience participation (though I'd argue doing this at a normal cinema, especially during normal operation hours is an asshole move).

"Yeah, we all know what fun you are, babe."

I don't think a movie's ending has made everything snap together in my brain like this since Mulholland Drive. So much of it is left for the viewer to interpret themselves, yet it's not so vague that it's possible for these viewers to see anything less than at least one of these characters' complete psyches.

Ben 6n3661 Hur, 1959 - ★★★½

Fri, 16 May 2025 00:26:19 +1200

A nearly four hour long monster of a film that opens with doomed yaoi between a Jewish aristocrat and a Roman tribune. Insane. Jesus even gets to make a couple appearances.

I watched this on an old DVD, apparently printed in 2001. Notably, the old, dual-sided DVDs were on their way out by then. This format was usually used so that the disc could contain two versions of the same movie, letterboxed wide-screen and cropped full screen (letterboxing on TV screens was a fairly new concept when this practice was at its height), but in this movie's case, it only includes wide-screen; the movie is just so long that it had to be split, two thirds of the movie on one side, the last third on the other. It felt like needing to switch discs while playing a Playstation 1 game.

Fri, 9 May 2025 00:02:55 +1200

The OVA bubble was on it's way out by the early 90s, and dreck like this was all over the place. Everyone here has already mentioned how appalling the treatment of the female lead is, but it's honestly hard to feel that bad for her, since she also just straight up sexually assaults the male lead, though I don't blame anyone for not realizing that this even happened, because it's barely even acknowledged, and moved on from so quickly that I genuinely think if you blinked, you'd probably miss it.

Graduation 5z6q4t Present + Propose, 2021 - ★★★

Tue, 6 May 2025 23:31:18 +1200

I often like to look at the Letterboxd search results for most popular short films of various countries, and South Korea is one I find myself returning to fairly often, mostly because even though Korean cinema has really skyrocketed in popularity within the last decade, the short film scene really hasn't. What I've noticed is that of the few that have carved out a niche viewership on this site, like at least 33% are gay. That's not the interesting part. The interesting part is the disparity between genders. At a glance (this is the only one of these I've actually seen), the shorts about male couples seem to be mostly fairly fluffy, while the lesbian shorts seem to be almost entirely about doomed relationships. Graduation, Present + Propose is thus the ultimate Korean short film, as it is fluffy, yet is about lesbians.

There's an Invincible title card moment in this. It's always really funny to me when a corporation hires a director to film a short on their new phone, because you can always tell that the director doesn't actually give a shit about showing off how powerful the phone is, they just want to make a cool short. I would've had no clue that this slice of Korean thriller cinema was commissioned by Samsung if I hadn't watched it on Samsung India's Youtube channel.

I did not look up the cast list before I started watching this movie. I also watched Twin Peaks season 3 episode 3 today (the episode where Cooper goes non-verbal at the casino and the doppelgänger vomits up toxic creamed corn), so Kyle MacLachlan showing up here felt like a jumpscare.

Unrealistic because the Hex Girls are supposedly internationally popular, and yet they're playing in Australia. Only Tyler the Creator does that.

I know this isn't really considered essential viewing, but it is included in the Fire Walk with Me Criterion, so I figured I might as well watch it before moving on to The Return.

I fully get why most of this was cut, as fun as some of these cameos are, they really would have distracted from what was meant to be Laura's story. This being said, the scene where Doc Hayward sees Laura out of his house, and then shares a glance with Eileen really stuck with me. It probably wouldn't really have fit the narrative of the show, but I like the idea that they suspected that something dark was going on in Laura's life.

My favourite part was when the Argentinian bellhop told Phillip Jeffries that he shit himself.

Essentially the VHS era Japanese equivalent of the fake movie trailers in Grindhouse. While it is a commercial for an anime shop in Nara Prefecture, it's also a post-Gunbuster pre-Evangelion Hideaki Anno work, and as such, is better ed for being a microcosm of otaku sensibilities in animation. Like a 30 second long Otaku no Video.

The War of the Gargantuas 65192q 1966 - ★★★½

Mon, 21 Apr 2025 22:40:52 +1200

Big fan of how Mary Shelley is credited as original writer despite nothing in this movie remotely resembling anything she wrote about, just because this is technically a sequel to Frankenstein Conquers the World, and that the characters have, by necessity, mangled the word "Frankenstein" into being a species name. Also rather amusing to me that Russ Tamblyn is in this movie. wtf was Dr. Jacoby from Twin Peaks doing in mid 60s Japan?

War of the Gargantuas is, weirdly enough, tinged with a deeply tragic undercurrent not really seen in most Shōwa kaiju movies (though the general vibe was significantly more common come the 90s). At its core, it's a film about a sibling rivalry between a being that understands only destruction, and another being driven by love, whom despite it all, can't really bring himself to truly hate his brother. How the fuck is this a sequel to the movie where Frankenstein's Monster grows giant and fights a burrowing dinosaur?
