Social WR Lounge v281: *Shivers* Full Blown Surefront

[Deorum]

Title Credit: @essie

this was quite the elixir; cheers

The Lounge is so often dominated by @Sycho Sid's relentless passion for metal, punk and ska music but I think we should continue the "beautiful cinematography" theme into at least one more as an offset.

...out of my faves anyway, and in color for convenience.

Mod Note: This thread is for general conversation and any other conversations to avoid derails in regular threads. If you find yourself going off topic in a thread, please quote the person's post, come in here, click "insert quote" and continue on in here. This is also still the War Room. Do not expect OT/Bare Knuckles rules in here.

Deorum Note: The last time I quoted BFF for the thread title ("find someone who loves you as much as the War Room hates [redacted] people"), it was removed and I left in a huff for five days. I trust we won't have another debacle of that sort here, I've even modified it to remove direct name association with the Global Authority.

Known sherfront user, to my fellow Right winger's in here you are doing the lord's work on those commie scum.

 

[PolishHeadlock2]

Oh shit I might actually pay attention when my wife is watching this season

Quiet the Koreeda fan, aren't you?

 

[Jack V Savage]

Don't know really about comparing them, but Collateral is one that really blows me away with its beauty. One of my favorites overall, too.

Wife and her bachelor fan friends are all upset. They just want Harrison back.

Not surprised.

I'm a big David Spade fan in general but none of the TV shows he headlines ever make it past a season so I'll be pleasantly surprised if he holds the job for a few seasons

Lol @You and @PolishHeadlock2 acting like it's your wives that are watching The Bachelor

I think Bergman is the master of letting a film speak for itself, but Koreeda is often overlooked. Heneke should be included in the conversation of ‘visually stunning directors/movies too. Godard. Hitchcock. Huston. But those first two directors were the best.

You must love digital grain.

Haneke is hard to quantify in a discussion of beautiful looking films because I think he is a great image maker but I wouldn't say that he goes out of his way to have very nice looking cinematography. Like Cache for example has so many memorable images but it's all attached to the idea of pov and surveillance that those images never feel transcendent in a way that Godard, as you mentioned, could do.

I better see some more Barry Lyndon votes.

My guess is he's a fill in for the paradise season, so Bachelor producers can say "see, we punished Harrison for being a horrible racist (for saying people should stop bringing up a party name from 2016 to cancel someone with and focus on what their actual behavior towards those of other races is) and now Harrison has apologized so we'll bring him back"

To be fair, I turned going to different dive bars every Monday night for over a year into a weekly routine with friends to get out of the house when bachelor and bachelorette was on

Wife's guilty pleasure is trashy reality TV. We did just start watching the new Ultimate Fighter season, because that's like a venn diagram of overlap of interests. Here's to hoping it doesn't suck too much

I only pay attention if Chad Johnson or Jordan Kimball are involved lol
