Man, this was a long one - convoluted and twisted for most of it’s duration.

It’s not that this convolution makes it bad or insufferable - it just takes it's time to see a lot.
Like a real adventure through this new and strange world.

There's a huge array of locations and events. Brains in jars. Jungles. Wolves in the snow. We even have an episode of noir like mystery and courtroom drama.

There's even what seems to be the first couple Doctor-Lite episodes as Hartnell supposedly took a holiday during production.

All in all a pretty solid adventure.

Got to share this classic with my uncle - who is a big superhero film fan (primarily the 2000s into Endgame) and he really enjoyed it!!

The animation has steered him away, just that expectation his generation has around animation - but he really enjoyed this.

And I of course did.

I will always say that midpoint conflict is entirely forced and goes against the characters for the sake of tension - but the rest of the film is just superb.

Clever and intuitive.

Some moments that give me chills to this day.

What is up, danger?

The direction and coverage of this movie is insane.

I adore the direction of Civil War, especially the action sequences / third act - and this delivered on those proficiencies.

This is such an interesting movie when it comes to its existing.
I can’t pinpoint it exactly.

Post Civil War, which is Garland being very intentional and deliberate in his displays of war and the state of our country - we get this.

A very objective snapshot of an event, during a controversial, yet very recent, conflict.

It’s a fascinating choice of a film that has no interest in any characterization or structure.
And in this it holds reverence for not just the American soldiers, but everyone included.

Fascinating.
I really respect it.

Absolutely refreshing.

I have so much I want to yap about on this movie.

A lot of people throw the word visionary around, I hate using it most all the time.
But what Coogler does here with every ounce of technical and artistic is visionary. 

I am thoroughly impressed, and even emotional at the SHEER craft and originality.

And to go from giant blockbusters for others to a smaller blockbuster for yourself - and to spin those tropes and concepts into a well executed spectacle - is really something.

There are SO MANY key scenes of spectacle.

I love this cast so much, many faces I never get to see and so well put together.

Jordan is insane. He is so so good in this.
They’re all really good but Jordan knocked it out of the park.

Loved the intercuts. Handled very well and cleanly.

Cinematography is nuts, especially when that aspect ratio would expand and possess a brilliance of scope.

A refreshing blockbuster that gives me hope; 
and hope that has nothing to do with any box office numbers - fuck that - hope with the future of filmmaking that pushes boundaries and expectations while appreciating the past.

Straight bangerrrrrr. Always catch something new which is wild. Incredible bout of production and craftiness to create something wholly its own.

Beautiful charm all over.

Been really debating the use of AI lately, and its presence in cinema especially as The Brutalist was my favorite of 2024 by an absolute landslide. 

Thinking about how many movies quality, and their charm, wouldn’t exist if AI existed in their day. How much craftiness and resourcefulness was used to make the most of a dollar - regardless of a budget.

And that’s the biggest sin of AI’s use:

The friction and craftiness and charm lost to easy band aids built by a few keywords and tweaking in a computer system.

The beauty of filmmaking isn’t just collecting the funds to produce your dream, but to roll with the punches of logic and reality to find a balance of resource and vision.

And in this we wouldn’t have such effective and memorable moments that simultaneously push the medium, invent tools, and build a friction of charm that says: “we welcome you to this movie.”

This definition is no further explained than the revolution of this LOTR trilogy to The Hobbit trilogy and it’s overhaul use of CGI.
And now as we move into a new age of computer assisted filmmaking, we find ourselves in another battle to maintain the charm, wit, and frugality of what once made the craft nothing short of fascinating.

Even the more unstable flicks of decades ago dominated the scene with their crafty use of tools. I think about movies like Death Becomes Her and Phantom Menace.

There’s something special there.
Something one of a kind:
and that’s at risk.

Just thoughts I’ve been having - and have been amplified, by watching this today.

This short was awesome.
Super tight and executed perfectly.

A perfect little story.

So so so well done.

A phenomenal take on the crime genre and a beautiful take on the family drama genre.

It is at times traditional and structurally perfect, which I don’t always go for - but I don’t think it wants to be anything else.

It’s, if anything, a parody of structure in the crime genre - embellished with poignant moments.

I found myself laughing and emotionally connecting multiple multiple times. 

Brilliant movie. 

Had such a good time.

A really delicate and restrained pocket, almost a fable, of a man transforming through his subtle little world.

Really great stuff here and a very fulfilling, more than a promise, debut by Chamandy.

Props to the disciplined camera work. The editing. The sound design. The whole vibe of this thing.

Really precious work full of magic and sensitivity,

Robert hitting us with that good ole fashioned gothic break up flick.

A real treat and a great exploration of the tale in a classy and elegant fashion.

A perfect fourth film on the tail end of an incredible decade.

I haven’t seen this in YEARS but fuck it’s really something.

What a debut.

That script is so so strong. Like a blockbuster how every single scene is conflict rising, from the moment the film starts.
So full of weight and friction and tension. Brilliance from scene to scene. And so well paced.

And those performances are immaculate.
The possession scene is brilliant. Masterful.

It’s insane how this movie ushered in such a wave of horror films in the last decade.

What a first decade of filmography for Eggers.

Holy.

Been on my list for SUCH A LONG TIME - so was really surprised to see it on MAX today!

Soundtrack and compositions are CRAZY. These alone are stars of the film just under the two lead children (one being Roeg’s son).

And those leading child performances are significant, and mixed with the direction and tone of a harsh reality / chilling visuals / vivid makeup (chapped lips and all) there is some severe worry and soul shaking to be had.

And a surprising approach to an expected theme to go along with it.

Also zooms and cross fades and editing HIT and HIT HARD!

Great day for night shots all over.

Brilliant little film.

Love all the little critters too.
There is literally a different little critter every 3 minutes in this movie.
Just muppets, everywhere.

(and sometimes a muppet is eaten. or is dead. and i tell myself it’s just “movie magic”. just fake muppets.)

Doctor Who 5c345e Joy to the World, 2024 https://letterboxd.conexionsite.com/theduckworth/film/doctor-who-joy-to-the-world/ letterboxd-review-752448996 Sun, 29 Dec 2024 18:38:09 +1300 2024-12-28 No Doctor Who: Joy to the World 2024 1392263 <![CDATA[

The ending is super classy, a pure little note that only a show / premise like Doctor Who can achieve.

But the central conflict felt a little lackluster and over shadowed cool concepts like the Time Hotel.

Also felt like the Doctor’s internal conflict of being alone feels counter-active to the 60th specials and their whole “it’s time you weren’t alone Doctor.”

Feels to soon for that to be an issue AGAIN.

I did like him chilling in a hotel for a year though.
A very sweet idea.

I guess that’s how I feel.
Very sweet and pure in some aspects.
Thin in others.

But it’s also Doctor Who.
And I love Doctor Who.
And there have been many not good Doctor Who Christmas Specials.

So we take what we get.

[edit:
YO IM COMING BACK TO SAY

I’ve thought about it a lot. And the time hotel goes against Doctor Who a bunch and there are no rules for this concept. So many negative possibilities to come out of this that would make The Doctor cringe and scream and deconstruct. Why do we need to focus on the antagonist of a company making a star when there’s a company abusing the power of time travel right in front of us? To the degree that someone could stop the birth of Jesus himself? 

I still had a fine time with this episode.

But I’m choosing to ignore it as canon.]
