Last movie seen — Page 493

For a Disney film that is aimed at my daughters and not at me, it’s a pretty good film. And I usually hate Disney music but the songs are actually pretty good.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Westworld (1973)

I don’t know who thought turning a brief part of The Simpsons episode Itchy & Scratchy Land into a full-length movie was a good idea, but this should have been better than it was. Yul Brenner was great though, and there’s a silly cheesy charm to much of it. Oh, and I didn’t realize the director of The Money Pit was a mediocre actor too.

6/10

I’ve never even heard of it!

Frozen.

It’s not my favorite Disney film. At all. It has its moments, but the plot begs for more backstory and explanation of early story contrivances regarding the Elsa character; the movie’s message of female empowerment does not speak to me personally; and the true villain of the story turns out to be rather ineffectual, and not in an amusing or comical way. The film is not actually about the villain at all, who is really more of a side character to the plot.

The thing that bothers me about Frozen doesn’t even have anything to do with the movie itself, it was the movie’s damn ubiquity. I don’t have a problem with merchandising, but sometimes it gets to the point where it’s just too much, and I think that happened with Frozen. It came out in 2014 and I still see commercials for Frozen toys. See also: Minions.

My love for Disney died when their desire to make traditionally animated films died.

I’ll admit I laughed.

Stalker (1979)

I won’t pretend to fully understand it–to try would take me probably 100 watches–but I loved every frame. For nostalgic purposes, I may not ever call a movie other than Star Wars my “favorite,” but this might be the greatest film I’ve ever seen.

*googles film*

*adds to watchlist*

If you haven’t heard of the man, just go watch all of Tarkovsky’s films right now. His body of work really is something to behold. You lucky bastard.

And he was buddies with Konchalovsky who you might know for movies such as Runaway Train or Tango & Cash. It blows my mind that the guy who co-wrote Andrei Rublev also did Tango & Cash. I’d recommend tumbling further down the Soviet rabbit hole (Konchalovsky has a brother who’s also an acclaimed director: Nikita Mikhalkov), because there are real gems to be discovered there.

And all this time I thought the Soviets had nothing of value to offer the world. . . .
