I've never read or watched The Disaster Artist but I read this review and it was pretty insightful

>8 and 1/2

:marseysleep:

Tried twice but could never get past 30 minutes. Way too much :marseyjerkofffrown:. 3/10

>Birdman

:marseyinsane: :marseycool: 8/10

>Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Tarantino's power fantasy. It's all right; it's missing notable characters and fun dialogue. 6/10

Um, OP. :marseysmughips: You forgot to mention an excellent work of fiction that features !kino Cage:

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

:marseybigbrain:

It's funny and self-effacing. Even @Redactor0 would like it if he wasn't such a koreaboo.

8 and 1/2

:marseysleep: literally. We were supposed to watch this in high school but I burst out laughing at the opening scene with floating eurotrash and then I immediately fell asleep. If Fellini was such a good filmmaker he would know how to make me care about the characters before I completely lose interest. If soap operas can do it, arthouse eurotrash should be able to.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Tarantino's power fantasy. It's all right; it's missing notable characters and fun dialogue.

:marseyhesright: It was kind of fun to go back to boomer times and interact with the Manson Family but there was nothing extraordinary about it except for some excess gore.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

As I've already said today, I can NOT fricking stand Nicholas Cage. He's really fricking annoying and all the movies I've seen him in were awful so that makes me hate him even more.

Also this sounds like a ripoff of JCVD, which I haven't seen but I want to. Van Damme at least knows how to not piss me off in every single fricking frame he's visible in.

I don't even know what he has to do with Korea. I've been hating him since the '90s.

YOU are the koreaboo. Go ahead and deny it.

I have no idea what a 'koreaboo' is either, but I agree because I support drama, and accusing people of being words you just made up feels dramatic.

Hollywood loves to jerk themselves off on how cool and great their movies are

Could be the best or worst movie you watch

Normally very self indulgent award bait, they can be done well though.

Millennium Actress, Why Don't You Play in Heck and Dolemite is My Name are all really good films. Adaptation and Boogie Nights are great as well if they count.

Irma Vep is a film I really want to watch, I think Maggie Cheung and Oliver Assayas are both brilliant and I've only heard good things about it.

the best film about the film industry is Windy City Heat

Dr. Drew Pinsky claims he was told by a Comedy Central executive that they stopped re-airing the movie over fear of legal issues with the Americans with Disabilities Act, due to the fact that the movie is making fun of someone with brain trauma
