I watched this, Joker, and The House That Jack Built in one night and this was by far the most enjoyable of the three.
Not very good, but I had fun watching it.
This is an unavoidably political film, and I have always held some sympathy for Nixon, so my bias should be noted, but this may be one of the finer docudramas of the twentieth century. Stone humanizes Nixon, with equal deference given to his faults as well as his strengths. The writing is superb, the performances are exceptional... a fine film all around.
As of yet the only Black Metal documentary besides One Man Metal that I consider to be good.
The animation is weird, the story is nothing special. It's like an episode from season six, but for 90 minutes. I did get to see it for free though, so that wasn't too bad.
A child prodigy-turned-blue-collar-laborer returns to his family home to visit his dying father. This experience doesn't improve him. He doesn't become "rehabilitated". The movie ends with him changed, but just as much of a burn out as he was before. That's the point.
If they had just called this "Season of the Witch" and dropped the Halloween branding, this would have gone down as one of the better horror films of the 80s.
Big mouth strikes again smh
You can really taste the Dr. Seuss in this.
Geno Samuel's attention to detail really places this series as one of, if not the best YouTube documentaries.
I feel like it tends to miss the forest for the trees, but it wasn't half bad.
Possibly Burr's weakest hour special. Burr has a similar style to Hicks or Carlin in that his jokes are more so humorous statements of truth, than they are jokes. This style of comedy works best when the comic isn't stating the obvious, but Burr's jokes in this special consist of statements already made 200 times prior. Burr might state them more concisely and in a more entertaining style than anyone before him, but that's really the only saving grace of this special; Burr hasn't changed.
Not unfunny or bad in any way, but nothing all that original either. Most enjoyable if you've been living under a rock for 5 years.
Peterson seems to have a limited understanding of traditional marxism, Žižek seems to have a limited understanding of discourse. Žižek is very much a cynic, and I really do like that, but somewhere in this mess Peterson made a decent defense of capitalism, so I have to side with him.
I'd pay for a clap-free version of this. The audience is awful. To the point of absurdity, almost. Maybe hold the next one in Japan. Even if an English speaking audience shows up it'll be no problem, they don't even clap at boxing matches.
One of my all time favorites. If you ask me it's both Leone's and De Niro's best. Most people remember De Niro as Jimmy the Gent, Jake LaMotta, Travis Bickle, or young Vito Corleone, but to me he will always be David "Noodles" Aaronson, streetwise Jewish kid from the Lower East Side turned criminal kingpin. The famed "European Cut" is great, but if possible go after the 251 minute directors cut. You'll be glad you did.
To me it was more annoying than anything.
Two word review: "Holy Shit"
Probably the best doc on Norwegian Black Metal. It won't give the whole story, nothing will. I've been learning about black metal on and off since I was thirteen, and still regularly learn new info. it's not a topic you learn about overnight. Nobody knows everything about it, not even the people who were there most likely.
Very underrated "last stand" horror movie. Setup is crap, but payoff is well worth it.
Couldn't get into it. Probably a decent movie, it just wasn't my thing.
The truncated season length definitely helps. I feel like seasons 2 and 3 only had 30 minutes of content per 40 minute episode, most likely due to the longer seasons.
Probably the worst anime ever. Definitely so bad it's good.
Do people not realize this actually happened? That's what makes it so disturbing.
Definitely a classic. Worth watching for historical value, but not much else. Doesn't hold up very well.
