I liked it quite a bit and I generally don't like anthologies all that much as they can be very disjointed. There was a great harmony to this one though. It was a typical Coen work with the dark humor and unfortunate fates of the characters. Very well acted and had some gorgeously shot locations.

8.5/10

Watched it too. Coen Brothers Molenation

Started off hilariously and then got progressively darker. The cinematography was truly excellent. My favorite story was the the gold prospector one and least favorite was the last one on the stagecoach.

Can't say I enjoyed Buster Scruggs.
The golddigger and the stagecoach stories were nice though.

by McLewis Tue Nov 27, 2018 9:01 pm

I liked the one about the woman and the wagon train the most personally, but that Gold prospector one was easily the best acted. The stagecoach one had the best allegory and was probably the spookiest of all the stories.

Roma actually getting screenings at work next week ffs Proud

Can't wait. Was worried I'd never get to watch it on the big screen because of Netflix, but they're really pushing this one it seems.

Pretty sure they're only doing it this week all over the world?

Netflix has never put out movies that are on their platform already iirc.

Don't know if you've got an arthouse cinema where you live. Would be the best place to check out.

by El Gunner Thu Nov 29, 2018 1:06 am

Apparently it's gunna show in select theatres when it's released on Netflix on Dec 14 as well. And yea it seems like my arthouse cinema is gunna get it that date Very Happy

You gotta go see it then!

Don’t know if we’ll ever get another shot. And Cuaron has never disappointed me at least. One of the great filmmakers of our time.

Anyone seen Conspiracy (2001)? Watched it probably tenth time, by far the most underrated WW2 movie.

by The Madrid One Tue Dec 04, 2018 7:12 pm

I've seen snippets, might actually go ahead and watch it.

by Harmonica Tue Dec 04, 2018 8:22 pm

It's 12 Angry Men type of one room movie, creepy considering it should be historically accurate. One of the best movies made for television, which is probably why it's also so unknown.

by Harmonica Tue Dec 04, 2018 8:58 pm

Top 10 directors for me:

1. Leone
2. Kurosawa
3. Kubrick
4. Tarantino
5. Spielberg
6. Scott
7. Coen's
8. Lean
9. Lumet
10. Coppola

by Glory Tue Dec 11, 2018 6:49 am

Buster Scruggs was awesome. An 8.5-9 for me. Only the James Franco one was a bit off imo. Every other short was top stuff. Favourite was the Zoe Kazan one.

Spoiler:

by Harmonica Tue Dec 11, 2018 9:43 am

Those are the best movies of the year? rofl

Only heard BlackKinsman because there's a finnish actor in it and the movie about Queen, because he deserves a movie. Pretty far from years like 1994 when we had The Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump all the same time.

maybe if you actually watched the movies you would comment something more fruitful?

Besides, there are a lot of good movies out there that don't get considered during awards season, if only you really tried you would know.

by Freeza Tue Dec 11, 2018 3:07 pm

Shoplifters is better than Roma though imo.

And what are those? Bear in mind that I had a movie library consisting almost 4000 movies, before I sold it, and am sick and tired of repeating plots and comic milk?

by Freeza Tue Dec 11, 2018 3:51 pm

Tired of repeating plots?

Pretty ironic considering your post history is just remakes of the same two posts

by El Gunner Tue Dec 11, 2018 6:17 pm

Widows was quite a disappointment coming from Steve McQueen. Would have been better off being a mini-series.

Has anyone seen David Lynch's films? I think they are brilliant, but i do have a minor...gripe.

Movie Spoilers:

by Freeza Tue Dec 11, 2018 6:35 pm

I don't mind a director being repetitive when he's the only great contributor to that sort of storytelling. And also, he's done more straightforward stories also, Elephant Man and The Straight Story.

Still need to watch Twin Peaks though.

Find the critics who put Twin Peaks season 3 on their list of favourite movies to be complete imbeciles. Worst kind of idiots out there, and I would've fired them if I owned whatever publicaations they work for.

^^ I get your point. Seen four of his films (Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead, Wild at Heart) and I only really enjoyed the first two.

Lol. I assume you say that because you see those people as pretentious and inauthentic?

Season 3 is a bit of an acquired taste, and the way it messes with expectations, to the point of purposely disappointing its viewers to make several points, is something i can respect.

Really pretentious. Like the most blatant shit I've seen. Cahiers du Cinéma had them as the no.1 film of last year.

It's just shitting on an entire medium by saying "It's too good to be your medium". There's no valid reason to describe Twin Peaks as anything other than a TV Series. It was released weekly on a god damn TV station, while literally being called "The Return" of something established as a TV show Laughing
