Posted January 18, 2018 So far only one for me, but that will change starting next Thursday. Well earlier than that probably, but that's when IFFR 2018 starts. The beguiled ♥♥♥♥♥ The new Sofia Coppola. Nice story and visuals, occasionally amusing, but was hoping for more horror or thriller stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Been watching a whole lot of monster movies over the past few weeks. Really been enjoying them, I just wish it was easier to get hold of proper copies. I still have a few left to watch from my list and then a few of the cheesier ones from the Showa era that I really should at least attempt to watch.

Posted January 31, 2018 Downsizing It was odd. It was like a bunch of completely different concepts put together. The start of the film was interesting, but then it just seems to go into different directions at random points. The downsizing aspect doesn't even seem that relevant to the overall plot at all. The Shape of Water Lovely tale, great acting and a really nice visual style to it. Doug Jones and Sally Hawkins are both great in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Yup. After only one post, I'll finally post my more or less complete list (couldn't find all my tickets ) here, and more importantly, my favourites of 2018. I'll do better in 2019 buy watching more films (again it's pathetic) and keeping better track of them and posting about it here. Another thing, I was able to watch a lot of classics in the cinema because of special screenings, most of which I had already seen. Most of the Ghibli titles (saw 2 or 3 new ones, but had seen the rest), all of the Wes Anderson films (had not seen his first 3 films), and Akira. Oh and Office Space. I don't consider them for my favourites of 2018 with one exception which I had not seen before then. Since I've been playing with my new Raspberry Pi, I'll give you a very suspicious link at the end (which may or may not work) where you can see the complete list. I'lll edit in the list once I've automated the formatting. Anyway, without further ado: My favourites 2018 Night is short, walk on Girl Den skyldige The endless Hearts beat loud A letter to Momo Room laundering Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse And my absolute favourite film of the year: One cut of the dead A few honourable mentions (and again, some maybe should be upgraded) Black Panther (don't worry, I also liked the other Marvel films) The shape of water Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri BlacKkKlansman Brawl in cellblock 99 Crazy rich Asians Bad times at the El Royale A day Junk Head Anna & The Apocalypse Catagory "Maybe you should check this out" Gräns Catagory "What is this I dont even" Les Garçons Sauvages Worst film of the year Jeannette (so Star Wars VIII is safe) Complete list (again, I'll edit it into the post later): http://163.158.240.156/films/ Edited January 3, 2019 by Sméagol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 3, 2019 What do the colours signify in your pi link? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The same colours as in the spoilered lists of the other threads. Maybe I should also have coloured the specials like the Ghibli and Wes Anderson specials, maybe I will later. Orange is IFFR, a "general" film festival, green is Imagine, a genre (sci-fi etc) film festival, purple is a Japanese film festival, and the single red one is from a Spanish film festival. In other years there was also an animation film festival, and some others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some festivals are really small events (IFFR is the really big international one), but that doesn't change that depending on where they are held, I can ride my bike to the respective cinemas.

Posted January 3, 2019 Ah, a festival for Spanish films, held near where you live. Not a film festival, held in Spain, which you went all the way to, to watch a single film and fly home again. Got it.Bye! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish I had that kind of money to nonchalantly go to Spain for just one film. That said, if I did go to Spain and saw just one film, I'm sure there's other stuff to. And I'd love to visit foreign film festivals in general. Cannes could be somewhat fun, but I believe is pretty hard to get into if you're not in the business. Berlin is I think very similar to IFFR in that regard. And I love to visit TIFF some day. Edit: and no I've never visited Japan either (yet!), sadly. Edit 2: I actually did visit London once mainly for just one film. It was the gala premier for The Hobbit. Edited January 3, 2019 by Sméagol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
