The previous thread is at 499 posts, on the brink of autosage. So I open up a new one, because I have a thing to discuss as well with Bernd. But first thing first.

Finally I wanna watch these in their entirety, a series of Japanese films from the 70s The Yakuza Papers or Battles Without Honor And Humanity - which is also the title of the very first one.
I think the first five (what I'm planning on consuming) cover one full story, based on an OG yak's memoirs, published in a newspaper first. Then they made another three in the 70s, all standalone, and three more, two of them in this millennia.
They are in a certain subgenre of yakuza movies, which were fresh breeze at that time with their more realistic narrative and breakup with the "honorable samurai" romanticism of the previous era. They are also filmed in a documentary style, with handheld shaky cameras, and sometimes they even timestamp certain events as the movie plays - as far as I can tell based on the first one which I seen (but will rewatch).

So the other topic is a possible Endchan movie nights/days we might begin in the near future and might hold on monthly basis. Ofc they wouldn't be full days or nights, just one movie and maybe two shorts as intro an outro.
My sole experience is Slovenia's Khantube and it's movie nights. I know there were that many participants but I think that much would be all right. I know some of you guys watched at least some of those movies.
What does Bernd think, is it worth a shot? How should we proceed?

Additional information:
The Xmas Special was done for the chat, the joking, shiposting and narrating the played shows, but this can have a more serious tone too, so they might be watched for the movies and not for the event and company.
I also thought about asking individual boards to suggest one movie per occasion.

I rarely, though sometimes, dip my toe into the films of other cultures.
May I recommend "the spook who sat by the door", its a black film about a negro uprising in the US. Really very good, even better than Nigger Charlie which are also good if you like Westerns.

Some new shit. I want some new interesting shit this decade.



 >>/33871/
I'm sure someone is interested. Maybe even I'll take a look into it.
I'm watching Witcher these days. Not even bad. I read the books, and played with WI, it follows the story of the books. The last fight scene of the first episode sold me, when Geralt butchers a bunch of thugs, it was done well (despite all the scenes with the court of Cintra or whatnot country was truly bad).

So the photography is beautiful, as you can see. The soundtrack also gives some great ambience at times.
The point of the film is Arthur Fleck embracing violence. There is a "class warfare" dimension with Gotham falling apart and a movement against the rich, who are probably portrayed too much as a caricature, see the last picture in  >>/33996/, I don't think America's upper class all dressed like that in the 80s. But that's not what motivates the protagonist or determines his choice of victims. It's more about violence as his personal reaction to those who belittle him, but that doesn't explain everything; it's also applied to those who try to tell him what is and isn't funny from a moral high ground. To him, his violence is funny and comedic. It's not a violence directed against everyone, though, he does spare someone who didn't belittle him nor try to tell him what was right.

This I done in the weekend basically.
As movies are okay, as horror... are they horror? Wasn't scary or tense as I wrote. Was quite a few jumpscares - which is the cheapest and most overused tool of the horror genre - but they all were places where expected so even those didn't have any edge.
I don't understand one little detail tho. Why this supernatural evil being is called Information Technology?

 >>/34058/
Iremember seeing the miniseries as a kid and scared the utter fucking crap out of me. Although, The BFG, an actual kids film, gave me nightmares for years with the thought of giants taking children through windows and eating them.



 >>/34069/
Hmm. I saw some of that not sure when and was scared I kinda remember, but I was too young as well for that. I read the books later, when I was about 20, it was intense, a very good read. I consumed much Stephen King and I think that is his most scary book, maybe the one actually scary. Few years after I watched that "miniseries". I fell asleep during part I, and laughed on part II. It felt boring and lame.
In general the "tragedy" of King, that his works are rarely adapted adequately on screen - I think The Green Mile turned out well - not movies, not shows couldn't capture anything what's in the books. They are all boring with bad acting and cheap effects.

That Witcher show was really ok. Some cheap stuff were in the mix, but I found it entertaining all in all, and will watch next season.
Apparently a bunch of scenes were shot at us, here's an article - in English - and pictures with it:
https://index.hu/english/2020/01/16/the_witcher_netflix_series_hungarian_locations/

Now I'm thinking of dl-ing the "old" Polish show, mabye due to the popularity of this new, Netflix one, this also can be found somewhere.














 >>/34587/
Don't have any. I don't think it can be opened into the yt video anyway.
It's weird tho, sometimes it's too quick, sometimes it's on time, but sometimes it's late. I can get the gist of the film despite this issue. I left off about 35 minutes, I had other things then some sleep to do. Today I'll continue.
I find the implementation of the inner monologue interesting, how they provide additional information their inner struggle. It's liek theater.


Well, this was different.
Simple story with straightforward moral. Tho at the end I wasn't sure for a second what's gonna happen, but what message would it send if otherwise.
It needs a certain mood for sure. Isn't for the average chandweller crowd.


 >>/34620/
Yes, I finished. Yes, on Youtube, despite the subtitle problem. I duckduckwent on the title and got hits of pages where might be possible to watch it, but wasn't that easy to untie that knot (what scripts to allow, or does it need registration, etc.).

Okay Bernd. I hope you wanna watch Baraka, because that will be on the next stream. If it doesn't go as planned we're gonna watch a classic kung-fu movie like the last time.
For those who missed that occasion here's the link:

Oh and the date:
March 7th, 16:00 EST
That's 18:00 BRT, 21:00 UTC and 22:00 CET. Sadly for Moscow and Ankara it's midnight which is fairly late. For our Strayan poster that will be 08:00 AEDT on Sunday.

Now that we are movies. This was a lackluster. It would have been awesome if it were about the dude getting lazy and insolent but getting away with it for some corporate bullshit reason. But no they turned it into this crime stuff and relationship drama with that chick from Friends. Oh well, it wasn't bad all in all.

watching comfy landscape porn with drone shots from Russia on tv right now. they just showed Dogestan and Stalingrad. Dogestan and Caucasian region look really beautiful. Did you know that Russia has the westernmost B-U-D-D-H-I-S-T city founded by some Mongols?
Now they show the Kamchatka region with beras. Lots of beras.
If you want to watch it too it's available with German or French commentary, but you can mute it and just put your own soundtrack on.

Did they show a local wildlife? It may be pretty dangerous, also pretty uncultured.

Not only city, but whole republic. Kalmykia, land populated by Oirat Mongols in 17th century. It was pretty far migration.

 >>/34962/
> they didn't show one single T-I-G-E-R. Really makes me doubt if Russia has T-I-G-E-R at all.

They are very rare and live only on southern border of Far East. Most ot hem already shot by Chinese for their traditional medicine.

Russia has camels
city of Derbent, Dagestan, oldest city of Russia
> Jews began to settle in Derbent in ancient times. During the Khazars' reign, they played an important part in the life of the city.[45] The Jewish traveler Benjamin of Tudela mentions Jews living in Derbent in the 12th century, and Christian traveler Wilhelm of Rubruquis writes about a Jewish community in the 13th century. The first mention of Jews in Derbent in modern times is by a German traveler, Adam Olearius, in the 17th century. Derbent's Jewry suffered during the wars in the 18th century. Nadir Shah of Persia forced many Jews to adopt Islam. After the Russian conquest, many Jews of rural Dagestan fled to Derbent, which became the spiritual center of the Mountain Jews. The Jewish population numbered 2,200 in 1897 (15% of total population) and 3,500 in 1903. In 1989, there were 13,000 Jews in the city, but most emigrated after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. In 2002, there were 2,000 Jews with an active synagogue and community center.[46] The chief rabbi of Derbent, Obadiah Isakov, was badly injured in an assassination attempt on July 25, 2013, sparking concerns of further acts of anti-Semitism targeting the Jewish community.[47] In 2016, the Jewish population was down to 1,345.

Very nice.
The region of the Caucasus has very rich ancient history. Also a meeting point of the steppes and the Middle East resulted in quite a few exciting moments since the times of the Assyrians and Scythians.
Yup, the camel of Asia has two bumps unlike the African one bumped camel.

Fun fact - former Kalmykia president, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, typical Asian-style ruler (governed the republic from 1993 to 2010) is also a big chess lover, who was president of FIDE for 23 years, built so called "Chess City" near republic capital: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_City

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirsan_Ilyumzhinov

He was also a somewhat crazy guy, because he openly talked about UFO encounters.

There may be Australians during the night. Not tho likely I think it will start 22:00 CES (that's 20:00 Small Island Standard Time), but that's early for them 6-7 am or something.

Since none has continued with the subject of the yakuza, I'm going to.

In case you liked The Yakuza Papers, you might enjoy Takeshi Kitano's modern take on the same subject (of how honor is not what brings success).

Kitano has approached this (at least) twice. First in Sonatine (1993) and later with the Outrage trilogy (2010, 2012, 2017). Needless to say, the Outrage trilogy gets more and more violent as the series progresses, but it doesn't spoil the plot arch completely.

As a side note: Much of the stuff in The Yakuza Papers and Kitano's movies come from an older set of movies, namely the Zatoichi series. Zatoichi is a blind Yakuza, having a hidden sword in his cane -- unsurprisingly the movies always end up him cutting down anyone and everyone.

Kitano even made a praised sequel to the Zatoichi series in 2003. Well worth watching, I think.

R.I.P in pieces me 

Don't know what happened during the stream. Couldn't even stay connected during most of the stream. Hopefully next time things will be better. We also had a really good turn around in headcount this time

 >>/35660/
Turnout was breddy gud, I concur, even tho a couple of guests were seem to be away.
Asked Odili if the black screen was server related, he says it sounds moar liek encoding problem. I just don't understand why it was ok on Palemoon at first then 15 min in it went black, and why was ok for me on FF and not for you on FF.
I dunno if we can do anything about it.

 >>/35661/
hah, i must have missed that in toilet break. Mine was also black, I just streamed the video with mpv and synced the time. It definitely wasn't server related as the audio still played. Maybe some sort of encoding issue, not sure how cytube handles things, maybe some sort of bitrate spike? In any case, something rare. I would try a yify rip next time, optimised for streaming.

 >>/35663/
That was a yify. I just renamed the file. But what's available. Not sure where I can get the Green Elephant (it was promised previously, and now was asked in the discussion thread on operate), it's on youtube with English subtitles, but needs to be logged in to watch. Not sure if can be streamed via hooktube.

Found something promising.
This is about a vinyl that kills people when listened. It seems supernatural, the vinyl is possessed maybe, reminds me of the stuff when some bands recorded backward speaking and shit to spook people.
Low budget, not good acting, but I liek the premise.

Months ago I saw both Blade Runners for the first time. One thing I've thought is that Tyrell makes for a better corporate lord than Wallace. Wallace is just too distant in his intellectual talk, and as an antagonist he can't dominate the scene like Roy -no other character on either movie has Roy's presence. Tyrell doesn't do much in the movie's power plays, on them he's more of an assistant and an objective. He's an artisan, amazed by the beauty of his creations. Technology is his art, and he does art for art's sake. He doesn't care that his replicants went rogue, he says nothing about power and control, he just discusses technical details and shows how impressed he is with what his creations have achieved, even if that achievement includes rebellion.
The other replicants in the original, besides Roy, are overall mediocre.

I can't go into the stream lol. I get this error message trying to get in

> Error
> The socket.io library could not be loaded from https://vapor.cytu.be:10443/socket.io/socket.io.js. Ensure that it is not being blocked by a script blocking extension or firewall and try again.

Should I post it here or in /operate/? Let me know so I can delete my post



 >>/36489/
The most likely culprit is noScript.
I would divide the needed scripts into two large groups:
1. scripts needed by the site to work
2. scripts needed by the stream to work
In the first group goes everything 1st party cytube stuff. Then - what I see from uMatrix - there's two CDN-s, bootstrapcdn.com and dmcdn.com. I dunno if they are absolutely necessary, but I think they are there for accelerating the service,  for me, in uMatrix it is turned on.
Then in the second group belong all the embedded streaming services (youtube /googlevideo???/, vimeo, dailymotion, twitch, etc etc), and remote storages (e.g. endchan, femto.pw, whatever users post for me to drop in the playlist).
Not everything has to be enabled all the time ofc (we probably won't stream from twitch for example), but for the stream to work, the source need to be allowed, and the source can change. You can check all the scripts in the noScript's menu, you can also ask, what is the source to allow.

On the note of last night's streaming.

I post the note of the streaming on most regularly used boards on Endchan, also on the Discord server of Odili, furthermore on Kohl. The stream isn't just for you, Bernds here. Literally anyone from these places can be there with whatever username, I rarely can guess who is who so it is useless to do it, so you guys also should just go with it. Pls don't ask who is who, some might want to keep their incognito.
Those who want to be recognized pls, use the same username, you don't need to announce who you are. Even then if I see a familiar one, it might just used by someone else - who knows, all kinds of funny "funny" people exist.
You guys can be sure however I'm there, from my orange username. Others with orange are other staff of End, so they also can be trusted.

I'm not in the business of attacking Kohl (or any imageboard for that matter). I have my opinion, I expressed in the past as well, you guys can have your opinion and express it too, it's all fine. But Endchan Movie Corner is not the place for that.
Kohl has a problem - as I see it too - we aren't the ones who can solve it, what we can do, is to make Bernds aware they have other options. Endchan Movie Corner can be used as a tool for that. Just by inviting them raise awareness, giving a nice experience to those who bother to come and watch with us, helps even more so.
Telling those Bernds who are regular users of Kohl, that "Kohl is shit", this doesn't help. What's more, it creates a hostile, putrid air, people don't want to smell into. This contradicts the effort to make a pleasant experience for everyone participating.



 >>/36499/
To be fair there was shit flinging both ways. Either side could have dropped it first but didn't. Would be good as general rule to keep discussion related to viewing material.

Also, I can't unsee the shit eating.

 >>/36514/
There's always next month.
Also we (with all likelyness) are going to have another screening on the 9th, at a more convenient time for Australians. Which should be fine for Europeans, considering it's Saturday.

 >>/36522/
> shit flinging
How genre appropriate.
That was one guy. Easily ignored.
I'm not sure what was his problem, that was the one whom we watched a kung-fu movie with in the beginning. On Kohl he continued and said we only watch bad movies, like it hurts him or something... 

I think Green Elephant was funny. I wonder Cinema Snob hasn't reviewed it yet.


 >>/36551/
Someone who has been pretty chill in the past came in for the viewing. Another poster said 'kohl sucks', at which point a long "debate" took place spanning several subjects from celebrities to paedophiles and ended in name calling and threats of building their own theme park with blackjack and hookers.

That, combined with the film, mad night.


 >>/36551/
Essentially this:  >>/36554/
The problem is shitting on Kohl will alienate Kohlbernds. That site where they lurk and post chiefly, and they could take it personally. It's like trying to win over someone by telling him he is stupid, or his hobby is stupid.

 >>/36555/
Huh, that's tovarish poo-eater.
Well people had to saw something in it to spread memes of it. I guess it has both shock and humour value which makes it a good source. Then ofc these stuff can be told/post over and over again until peeps gets bored by it. It's like Borat for example. Was funny, shocking, but quoting it by the millionth times so one can reply angrily: "just shut it, will you!?"
I haven't seen G.E. before, so for me it's a new experience and I find it funny, and actually not bad. I just might recommend it to others.
There are tons of exploitation movies out there, from the top of my head I can recall Cannibal Holocaust, but that's on entirely other level, many actors, and comparably higher budget, therefore more spectacular, and generally feels more professional.

> Huh, that's tovarish poo-eater.

This is lecture about some nonsense at math faculty of Saint-Petersburg University: https://youtube.com/watch?v=KoVBe5ikgHQ

Guy who invited him (at start of the video) is a real mathematician, although a schizo too.

Pahom (Pahomov) is very eccentric media person, not so famous, but after sudden popularity of Green Elephant he became more known and even invited on some stupid TV-shows about psychics and paranormal. It is hard to say if he is really serious in his image though, maybe he isn't mad as he looks.

Second one (Epifantsev) is more serious guy, he often plays in some "art movies", but he is also actor that may be seen in average Brazil-like TV drama for housewives. That is especially fun when you know about Green Elephant and his other activities.

> Well people had to saw something in it to spread memes of it. I guess it has both shock and humour value which makes it a good source.

It is more like combination of shock and absurdity, not humour, I think. I don't think that authors even tried to make is fun, it is more like crazy modern art.



 >>/36566/
The "nordic French". Lesser Kohl personality. Maybe he visited us and saw the "are French European at all" thread", I dunno. But now he was quite hostile.
I think he tried to organize movie nights, before and not long ago, I think I saw a thread. Oh, I think, he posted a list on the previous occasion, in my End Movie Corner thread, what movies they watch, but I think those were for one long streaming.

Anyway. We stream Green Elephant again, tomorrow, at 8:00 UTC, so our friends on /ausneets/ could enjoy their Saturday evening.

Good. Let aussies enjoy it without having to struggle to join. It's a little better tbh. It "feels" like regular movie theater premieres where they have different showing times.


Was thinking about recommending Mad Max 2 for the movie thread on /operate/. Currently giving it some thought

 >>/36606/
> Mad Max 2
Welcome to the Thunderdome
Not a bad idea. Next month probably some boong stuff, premier at a time it suits ausneets better. Again a second streaming can be held, maybe even 10-12 hours later that day. We'll see.

On the 25th it's Towel Day. On the occasion Endchan is going to have a stream, special edition, since we can thank Hitchhiker's Guide for the name.
We're gonna watch the 2005 movie, and Howard the Duck as an extra.
It looks like for now, that it is gonna start at 20-21 UTC (will notify if it changes).
I hope couple of Bernds will represent.

Watching this. I'm halfway through.
It's a facility with vertical cells with a lift in a middle where the food is moved down. At every level they eat what they want or can, leave the rest. I won't spoiler more, in case Bernd wanna watch it at some point, but this is the core of the tension.
Actors are okay. The scenes are simple since they play in a cell basically, the idea behind it is unusual and this makes it good.
It's 2019 movie, apparently Spanish/Basque.

 >>/36985/
Kinda reminds me of Cube.
But this one has something to say beside what's going on. It has a social narrative and ethical for sure (and therefore philosophical). I left it settle a bit, probably should more.
As far as horror goes I recommend this. No cheap jumpscares.


 >>/36988/
I'm not sure how much in the trailer, but I think there is more than what you wrote. It can be argued if it is about current or an existing society, or a model of a hypothetical society. There's some talk in the movie itself about it. A little bit naive I think.
There's an allegory of reincarnation there, but I don't think that goes anywhere further.
A couple of plot twist in there, no earth shattering ones, but still, they mostly based on the lack of information the inmates have, or the lies they (perhaps) tell.
Little action, while the whole movie is static, events perk up a bit.
Right now I'm thinking I rewatch, I might missed some tidbits.

I decided I'm gonna rewatch it.

 >>/36988/
Also it's more about compassion and the fact that those who are relatively well off consume more than what they need and live a wasteful life, than the societal allegory the institution in the movie represents.


 >>/37009/
It's a mild horror. Chiefly gore, more can be found on imageboards of that.
Some plotholes in the story, I remember noticing previously but now I'm 20 mins in, discovered some new. Ain't horrible, but I can imagine some might mind them.

 >>/36985/
Okay, yesterday I managed to get over the bulk on my second sit through, and while I'll finish up today, it's enough to say a final verdict. Some spoiler could be below:
It's a motley of crude ideas which fail to unfold in their entirety, and the inconsistencies in the story prevents me to build a speculation on them which could offer a closure to the story. There is no real moral to offer here, even making the ultimate sacrifice doesn't lead to a salvation, and even the promise of change is so thin, making the clemency seem just a pointless act.
I think what the viewer can get out of this really depends on what mindset he/she already has. On the part of the creators and the most likely target audience it might be just a mental masturbation over a topic which won't get ever resolved - similarly to ecological problems and alcoholism how it is mentioned in the article I wrote about here:  >>/36878/ In certain circles it's fashionable to talk about these societal problems, and this movie is a great opportunity to nod knowingly and act deebly goncerned and empathic in front of their peers.
I already wrote, for a horror it's worth a watch (but don't repeat it as I did), I'm gonna hold to this opinion. It's depth is knee high, at least not ankle, but fails to bring us in to the waist.

Started this, comedy series. After the firs episode, it has some potential. It's about a freshly set up military branch of the US armed forces, the Space Force, with the task to put a boob on the moon.

The movie corner is coming up, as I stated elsewhere with an unnacore film, right now with three potential candidates.










 >>/37487/
Well, someone ddos-ed endchan.net, so we couldn't stream from there. So I put on a kung-fu movie. But then the ddos sropped, so I could start The Tracer too.
We were only two during the evening stream.

I'm gonna write about The Tracker later.



 >>/37181/
So The Tracker.
It's a slow movie with nature shots of the Australian bushes, and blues music in the background (by a native group I have to assume), this makes it a comfy movie. Some gallows humour complements it.
Theme is western, the story is about a group of law enforcement guys chasing a native fugitive with a help of a native tracker. I think all - the fugitive too - from the same organization. It has an obvious agenda, contrasting a racist white with wise natives. Kinda liek how they tend to do it in American westerns.
The movie operates with a notable tool, drawn stills are cut into the film at certain points to substitute showing certain (gruesome) events. This also makes it feel like as if it was put together from chapters, and these images are closing and old and opening a new. Also spares some acting and special effects for the crew to do.
The tracker himself goes through a transformation. Each stop in his arc also gives me the feeling of chapters following each other.
I don't mind that I watched twice, I noticed stuff I haven't on the first screening.







 >>/38343/
We're doing double streaming of the same movie due to the distribution of the users in different time zones. So Mad Max 2 in the evening.
For the next occasion, in August, we don't have any yet. You can suggest if you wish.

Also it's not necessary to announce in the chat who you are guys. It's an Endchan event, not /kc/, users there from other boards too, it means nothing for them. Also in the evening gonna make a thread on Kohl, so maybe Bernds from there will visit too.


 >>/38346/
On the channel only the mods can add something to the playlist. Since that is Endchan's channel, the staff has elevated rights there.
If you wanna watch something you can ask here, or in this thread:  >>/operate/10923/
Cytube has its limitations however. It takes only a couple of streaming sites to embed (youtube, dailomotion and some others), and from file it only plays webm or mp4.










 >>/38368/
I've stuff to do today. Also for cytube, every movie which aren't on streaming sites (such as youtube) have to be dl'd then uploaded to a storage space. Depending that could take a while in itself.
Partially this is the reason we do Movie Corners monthly, the other reason is that I can afford from my time.




 >>/38624/
That looks promising. Too bad I've no time watching longer stuff, in fact I had to give up the previous one too. Maybe on the weekend.
And what you post are vids, that needs attention, so I can't just let them go in the background while I do my doings.

Watching Sátántangó, a Hungarian black and white film from 1994. Surprisingly it was recommended by an American anon on another board.
It's a longass movie, 450 mins. Luckily it's divided into 12 chapters, so I can probably watch one per day - it's an adaptation of a novel btw. The movie is so long because the director, Tarr Béla, operates with long stills, long "stills" (there's movement but feels like watching a picture), and long shots of people doing mundane things, like walking on the street. Subtle humour there.
What is it about? I'm not really sure, it seems it plays during the communism, but some mystical stuff going there, and definitely crime.
I dunno yet if I would recommend it, but even if I did, it might not even available to foreign Bernds.

(122.75 KB, 343x500)
Well Berdn, a month passed, we're gonna watch NED, on the next Movie Corner.
It will be on the 1st of August, again with two streams, one at 09:00 UTC and one in the evening, at 20:00 UTC.
This is an Australian comedy, about Ned Kelly, an Australian outlaw, who died 26 years old, executed for his crimes. Apparently he used metal armour as a protection in firefights.
Same year this movie came out - in 2003 - an Hollywood one was also released, with the title Ned Kelly. With Heath Ledger and Orlando Bloom, probably this one is more famous. No idea if it's better or not. We won't watch it on Saturday.









Sooo. NED.
I was funny, but it was rather gay and flatulent. Jokes ranged from the banal to the quite original.
Novel take on the person of Ned Kelly, an outlaw, who counts as a folk hero of our neighbour, Australia. 

Next month, The Lighthouse, probably the 2019 version.



 >>/39569/

We had. Maybe he still lauers.

Catholicism has deeper roots in there than - let's say - in Skandi countries or the USA. Also Nazi refuge at the end of WWII.

So The Lighthouse.
Well. I'm not sure. It feels like a Hollywood movie which really wants to be some European art film. They even threw in some deep stuff like Greek mythology in the mix. But I just can't buy it.
However it had great shots, and actually good scenes.
When I made the thread on Kohl we're having the movie corner, peeps commented "gay". I understood during the movie why, keks. But it wasn't much and I get it why the fappings were included in the movie.
I bet the same thing was upstairs in the glass what was in the briefcase of Pulp Fiction.

Following Turkbernd's recommendation I just finished a Serbian comedy, Ko To Tamo Peva (Who is Singing There?).
This is a story of a bus ride from bumfuck nowhere in Serbia to Belgrade during the days preceding the German invasion of Yugoslavia in 1941. The colorful band of passengers have to enjoy various trials of the often roadless roads, and each other's companionship.
The structure of the film is signaled by musical interludes performed by a not less colorful duet.
I didn't have to hold my stomach for laughing, it's not that type of comedy, there aren't any jokes blowing up left and right, it's more of a low key absurdity that goes through the entirety of the film, and the little details they put there occasionally. Also there's a bit "wtf is going on" added with those details. Some life lessons also shared, and it's served with an almost ethnographical atmosphere.

I guess it would be anyone who's willing to add a picture for their board here, or in the /operate/ thread for it. I'm only seeing these boards on the top, but anyone's able to contribute tbh. There's around 8 spots available, with 2 extra ones for the fishes outside the submarine

Let me see:

/ausneets/ - an abo
/b/ - grey anon and also the main stand in for Bill Murray
/bbg/ - the girl that always shows up on their feed?
/kc/  - Spede either the guy with the pink scarf to the left or the blowfish
/imouto/ & /yuri/ - anime girl?
/argentina/ - idk
/404/ - either a ghost or the penguin



 >>/40179/
Actually Bill Murray can be the grey anon.
For ausneets get a boong (abo) from them, there's a couple they repost sometimes, but just ask.
Bonbi for bgg I do agree.
Yeah, Spede.
The imouto/yuri question is solved then.
/argentina/ doesn't really have traffic, /404/ is a very fresh board.
/rapport/ deserves a place there, maybe a chick from one of their banners, problem is they post "real" people (for example Spede, isn't really the actor, but an imaginary assburger).

 >>/40180/
 >>/40190/
Oghey

I have most of the images that have been suggested. Please gimme some time to work on it

> Actually Bill Murray can be the grey anon.

I'm just looking for a good front picture of grey anon to work on it

> /rapport/ deserves a place there, maybe a chick from one of their banners

I guess it would also be good to know exactly what boards has active users here who are interested

 >>/40196/
Also it's Endchan Movie Corner, pls change the title too.
> /operate/ thread about this. Problem is that I don't think a lot of people go there
Barely anyone goes there. Users have to be sought out on their preferred boards. Tho you might wanna post there just to make it "official".

 >>/40198/
I can give you a list about the active boards. Or about boards with short notes what's going on with them. In the evening, now I don't have the time.

Oghey. I'll be around

Here's what I have for now as a draft. I can just morph Bill Murray's body into grayskin and go from there. Yes, the hands need some work. /rapport/ can just suggest a girl and I can add her to the right as the blond girl or to the left as the black haired girl

idk. There's some spots left that can look natural inside the sub. There's also space outside as an eel. 

Current boards in - /kc/, /tech/, /ausneets/, /yuri/, /imouto/, and /bbg/


 >>/40212/
So boards.

The fastest:
/ausneets/ - all time top board
/vlnmrg/ - for weeks now the second in pace, tho a couple of users use proxies, I dunno how many of them speak English, they are just interested in their prostitutes, I think we can leave them out safely, although I posted invite to the Movie Corner some time ago
/imouto/ & /yuri/ - mostly the same users, same theme, same conversation, it's liek a twin board
/bbg/ - always in the lead with the boards above, sometimes get an influx of Russian speaking posters from 2chen or wherever

The constantly used:
/rapport/ - usually among the highest places of the slower boards
/b/ - sometimes drops to very low but still kicking
/kc/ - you know
/pol/ - just the same 2-3 guys, sometimes some dude gets banned and then tries to get back to them using proxies which can inflate the number, but that's not a real traffic
/turul/ - those 2-3 dudes updates the board daily with a couple of posts
/ligamx/ - sames, but with more 3d women and football
/404/ - new, it chugs on fine
/co/ - newly populated
/librejp/ - 1 to couple of posters

Other:
/AM/ - fluctuates, sometimes it's dead for days or no users, then after a while gets quite a few
/pone/ & /horror/ & /tech/ & /rus/ & /ashleyj/- sometimes a poster or two
/godscommunity/ - one man board, I think he posts every day, chat him up sometimes
/news/ - pol
/hisrol/ and /argentina/ - these days they have traffic, considerable amount for Endchan levels, but they were registered some time ago, most of it was spent empty
/hydrus/ - the dev hangs out, also some user of his program
/qanonresearch/ - got posts again, I think due to the USian election, I doubt those guys wanna hang out.
/bb/ - not sure how many dudes, but active daily, not so great English skills

I think that's about it.



 >>/40231/
> not yet, even since /sp/ moved to sportschan, they still have more posts than /ausneets/

Sportschan also has an active /v/ board there. Lucky them!

I miss having a /v/ around here tbh. We could also ask them if they want right?

Also, controversial question, but should we invite Ernstchan to the movie night? We could add their mascot there. Are we in good terms with them?

 >>/40231/
I meant since they're here (and /sp/ not), they are the fastest going board (well qanon was for a little while with ~170 posters).

 >>/40236/
Ignore the "Other" category.

 >>/40237/
I always forget about them, I'm hesitant to open a thread there just for the movie corner, and they might be too picky when comes to movies. But I think we are in OK relation, I've no problem with them, and we give no reason to despise us.

But something more related to the thread.
For a meal with 22 mins per episode this thing here is fine. It's a sitcom about a young doctor at the beginning of his career who constantly hallucinates. I suspect it's House when he hooked on drugs I already saw something that was used in House MD too.
It's not that funny however I'm not sure to continue. I probably will.

Also forgot to link the /operate/ post I made for movie night through here

 >>/operate/11299//


The movie I recommended is decent. Lots of plot twists you wont expect. Also has naked women if one is interested

 >>/40238/
> Ignore the "Other" category.
oghey

> I've no problem with them, and we give no reason to despise us.

Them + /v/ need to be invited tbh. What's the url for them though?

 >>/40239/
> I suspect it's House when he hooked on drugs I already saw something that was used in House MD too.

Pretty much, except the main character is somewhat likeable and not extreme edge. It's a little too lolsorandom sometimes, and kinda sad/slice of life the next

 >>/40241/
Well those life changing experiences which led House to be an ass are yet to come. They say in the show that he was like that forever but witnesses don't seem to know him that long. Maybe his ex-wife but I think there's no hint when they got to know each other. Hmm now I think there should be, maybe they met at a conference I'm not sure. Oh his parents...
The two shows run parallel for a while, I'm curious if they built in stuff from each other.




 >>/40302/
> I'm not sure how to do it so they don't get it as an intrusion.

Me neither. There's around a week left so I will think of something.

Maybe we can also invite lolcow imageboard here. I dunno. I can't think of anybody else. Nobody's really replied to my post /operate/ yet so I'm at a standstill for now


 >>/40318/
 >>/40302/
Let me see

> Hi Ernst and lolcow. I'm a wandering anon from Endchan who visits this chan sometimes and wanted to ask you guys a question. We were having a movie night on our site soon and wanted to know if any of you were interested in joining us to view it? We'd really like to have you around.

So. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
IMDb says it's an action adventure comedy, but it feels more like a drama with the elements of the previous. Or maybe it's all the previous with some drama among them. It has a serious tone below the surface of the whole length of the movie and surfaces more in some scenes.
Music is breddy gud, but sometimes it's liek: "hey why is there a song in the background now?"
Action scenes are light and fun with the never need to reload trope.
Also beanies and glocks.


 >>/40466/
Huh. The movie did have lots of such scenes where the content of the two sides were symmetrical or balanced. Even two from the four pics I picked randomly are such (and even on the other two I can find symmetries). But there are way more, from the starting theater to the finishing submarine scene.
Thanks.

Last time I watched classic war movies in a chain I missed out The Battle of the Bulge, so recently I made up for this during a couple of nights (it's almost 3 hours so I had to divide it up). I did not really like it (I've seen it before, just thought why the hell not).
I still have to watch The Dam Busters, which is a black and white film from a decade earlier.

That whole channel is addictive, there is something fascinating about seeing people being interrogated. Fuck the police though.

Seen that. One of the few of my encounters with anime. I've seen Ghost in the Shell 1 and 2 first, way before I was aware of existence of imageboards. Then I watched Death Note due to IBs, and Cowboy Bebop. I did not see the appeal. I saw the live action Death Note and I prefer that over the anime. I was curious what's the hype on IBs, so researched and found out Akira is a classic, it has cyberpunk themes so thought is a fit. I did not care for it much I won't say it was outright bad, just meh, okay. So it did not made me like anime.
Oh the first anime was actually Dragonball, when first commercial TV-channels started in the 90s, one broadcasted that for a while. I like Bulma, otherwise found it ridiculous.
I suspect I'm a few years older that I could into anime in any way. I've some pals, who some years younger and Dragonball was a thing for them (I would not call them anime fans tho), or even read manga (I would call them anime fans).








 >>/40630/
The lack of PoCs in that show is very problematic. They represent the LGBMWQT community with a couple of roles but it just not the same. The situation is raising concerns, hopefully they will mend this shortcoming in future seasons.



 >>/40616/
Surprisingly good film. Just finished it.
It can be divided into to halves. The first is reminding me the 12 Angry Men (which I should rewatch, I liked both version) or The Sunset Limited. I wouldn't have minded if the whole thing had been like that. Just a handful of blokes talking in a room.
The second half adds some action, a bit hectic, a bit surreal here and there, some violence too. The whole thing offers some philosophy and life lesson.
Daring criticism of totalitarian, tyrannical systems, considering it was made in 1976, it really isn't a big leap to relate everything said and depicted in the movie to communism as well.

Dogma.
It's about how you and your pals playing amateur theologian, philosopher while drunk/high. Probably this is how it got written in the first place.
It's an entertaining movie, with many notable actors, but mostly subpar acting. On the other hand that acting is the part of the charm, as with all these Jay and Silent Bob movies. It stands out from those due it's supernatural theme with angels and demons, and God himself. Herself. Well as Chris(t) Rock(s) points out in the movie, she isn't really a she, doesn't matter that Alanis Morissette plays him. Her. Snoogens.

Came across a new Hugh Laurie telly-show. It's about politicians. Not as dramatic and flashy as House of Cards was, it is more subtle than that. I find it doing a nice job to paint the manipulations on all levels. Characters are realistic in not the sense how nowadays fashionable to make them less idealistic by present everyone as lowlifes and/or wicked, but in the sense that they are genuine humane.

 >>/40919/
The season is four(4) episode long. Wtf? I know Bri'ish telly series' are short and generally the trend is that they produce shorter seasons (fugging Lost and House had 24 episode seasons!, well mostly), but four(4) is a bit ridiculous.



 >>/40971/
Without spoilers? Allahu Akbar!
With spoilers: four + 1 Muslims in Britain play mujahedeen than slowly turn into real terrorist. It starts out as a comedy then the tone slowly turns serious and grim, as they transform from idealist blundering idiots, into idealist blundering dead.

Watched the Mosul movie, was worried that it'd be "Hollywoodized" but I'm too interested in the topic. My fears were excessive, it's not bad. The urban environment shows an actual city people live in, the characters are placed in their context (e.g. talk about pelting American Humvees with stones as children) and the rifts in the anti-ISIS coalition (the unit, its Iraqi superiors, Iranians, Americans) are shown. It's gritty and the scenes are well made. On the other hand they didn't really add up into much emotion for me.

But let me tell you about french cinema. Its something marvelous. 


I watched le profesional (1981) yesterday. Highly recommend it. Watch it bernd. Enjoy it. Savour it.






 >>/41310/
Yeah, it was kinda mandatory to see it back then, I got the recommendation from a pal who said "you have to see it!" It turned out to be ok, tho I'm not sure if I had to saw it. Now these days while the circus is running on the other side of the Atlantic, it's just the right occasion to watch it.




 >>/41314/
Why not make a movie about that? Many movies are about it, no? But usually in form of some disaster, natural or zombie virus. It's a different take. Honestly they really should make more about the fall of civilization, how behaviour itself becomes the danger, and not some outside source.



 >>/41317/
Heh. I haven't thought about you feel bad (tho I understood you don't like the movie). And movie makers probably think about such even less.
> it must make us sad.
It must? I thought people watch these as entertainment. All kinds of tragic topics were made into a source of entertainment. From books to dramas, whatever.





 >>/41314/
Now that I rewatched I can say it has some nice jokes in it, really funny moments. While you are right about people thinking it's some deep enlightenment about the politics of our day and age, I think you also shouldn't take it that seriously and fall over to the other side of the horse.

1.Symetria (2003) - police jailed an innocent person by mistake. Also very decent.
2.Day of the Wacko (Dzień świra) - you probably seen this one. Very Bernd-core. One of my favorites.
3.Clergy (2018) - anti-Catholic movie. Pedophilia, greed, blackmailing, corruption, sodomy etc.

 >>/41402/
Are these recommendations, or options for something? Should we vote which one you watch?
> you probably seen this one
Not really. Generally speaking Slavic movies aren't really popular outside Slavia. I'm breddy sure there are fair amount of decent ones, but just like kvas, their marketing isn't the shiniest.




 >>/41410/
Guy is a little crazy, have those little obsessions and everything around him pisses him off. Plus a bit of commentary abour our society I guess. 
Marek Kondrat (the main actor) did a brilliant job here, don't know if subtitles will suffice.

 >>/41402/
Never heard about the 1st one. Also haven't seen the 3rd one myself but it caused quite a stir here, screams ranging from "WOW CATHOLISISM IS EVIL OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE" to "WOW STOP ATTACKING OUR CHURCH YOU EVIL HEATHEN PAGAN HERETICS" that were going for months. Normal people who didnt want to get emotionally involved were saying it was meh or ok but definitevly not worth all the fuss. 

If you want good polish films for Bernd I recommend two commedies: CK Dezerterzy and Jak Rozpętąłem Drugą Wojnę Światową (How I unleashed 2nd World War).
First one is about a bunch of Australo-Hungarian soldiers of various nationalities conspiring to desert from army.
Second one follows one polish soldier during ww2 who travels around europe and mediteranean sea to join any army that fight against Germany. The famous Grzegorz Brzeczyszczykiewicz scene comes from this film. 

If you can find those with subtitles I'm sure it will be a great watch.

Rewatching House MD. Or more like running it as background noise, I've seen it a couple of times already. But. Never actually realized how fucking grim it is. Just look at this (more than likely incomplete) list:
- they kill a baby (to find the illness they subject two babies to a trial, giving them different drugs)
- Cameron almost got AIDS
- Foreman tries to infect Cameron (in the hope he makes her work harder to find the diagnosis)
- House got shot
- Cameron kills the researcher (euthanasia)
- House helps patient committing suicide (so he could donate his heart to his son)
- House ODs on Vicodin and alcohol on Christmas eve
- Cameron watches homeless man dying
- Foreman kills scam artist (misdiagnosis)
- Foreman tortures a kid extracting his bone marrow
- House suicide attempt (knife in the wall socket, to see what's on the other side)
- Thirteen kills the crippled guy and his dog (maybe accidentally, although I think some implication that the guy gave the drug to his dog, while committing suicide)
- Amber dies in accident
- Kutner commits suicide
- House ends up in a nut house
- Chase kills a patient (the mass murderer tyrant)
- Thirteen euthanizes her brother (probably helps to commit suicide)
- House ends up in prison
- Wilson gets cancer
- House fakes his own death
- House kills Wilson - implied
- House commits suicide - figures
Tried to organize this into chronological order with the help of Wikipee, also looked up some details, but not everything is written. While watching the show this isn't too apparent since the events are paced.



 >>/41508/
He had strong effect on others around him. Also they aren't spotless themselves. Besides all of them - including House - have good reasons, justifications. Well, maybe not Kutner killing himself.
But there are instances... After Cameron euthanized the researcher, House went to her and told her he is proud of her - putting his hand and her shoulder. That was one moment that made Cameron take one step away.

 >>/41521/
I dunno it real value as redpill, since it's a fiction with strong cynical tone.

I watched Pacific Rim. 
It's a very simple film about giant robots and giant monsters beating each other. It was exactly what I expected and I had a lot of fun watching it. It's mostly CGI but it's very well done.

So, I watched these two films
1.Taxi (2015):
Director (Jafar Panahi) rides taxi in Tehran and talks with passengers.
2.Taste of Cherry
I watched this movie 10 times or more. Man decided to kill himself, but he wants to find a person who will bury him. He talked to many people, but only one man agreed to do it.
I don't know why but I like to watch this movie when I am feeling bad and hopeless.
Such cases.




 >>/41568/
I've heard about Taste of Cherry on KC few years ago.
Also there was a website about different film festivals. You can choose Venice film festival, Berlinale, Palme d'Or etc. And there was a list of all nominees and winners in different categories. Very handy.
But that website is not working anymore. So I use Wikipedia now.





 >>/41572/
> Depends. "European" is a diverse group in itself.
Yes, but Arabs and Mizrahim Jews have different facial structures, they are more swarthy etc.
Most Iranians look like people I see in Western movies. Maybe they are specially selecting them, who knows.



 >>/41576/
I suspected, then I duckduckwent her name.
I suspect the second pic also has dyed hair, and even blue contacts.
There are redhead Iranians, but the red is more orange I thikn, so anything that that full, deep red/burgundy.

 >>/41577/
The first one could be real, chestnuty, which is brown mix I think.


This one  >>/41573/ is from the movie Separation (2011). It's about marriage and false accusations.
Not bad, but nothing special.
I am actually very impressed by Iranian cinematography. I even wanted to visit Iran - but Ukrainian plane crashed there, than corona happened... 
Many people even here in Ukraine think that Iran is underdeveloped nation with terrorists and things like that. 
I have the opposite impression. Despite very tough sanctions they are managing quite well.

Anyway, sorry for derailing the thread, I guess I should find the appropriate one.

I've watched Heaven and Earth (Ten to Chi to).
It's about two samurai warlords fighting each other. One is Takeda Shingen who is ambitious and wants to conquer all the Japan. The other is Kagetora (better known in history as Uesugi Kenshin) who is just dedicated to defedning his province. 
I don't think I want to talk much about this movie but one thing stands out, and that it's complete lack of CGI. There are big battles portrayed and it was all shot with real people and horses and that is just amazing to see on its own. Also samurais are cool.

 >>/41634/
> Takeda Shingen
You need to watch Kagemusha then.
> this movie but one thing stands out, and that it's complete lack of CGI
Back then they still knew how to make movies. I'm watching new Expanse, and I'm far from impressed. The CGI looks okay, but still out of place and the whole thing very much look artificial like a room with green screens and actors placed into them to have a conversation which is also a turd, but we're talking about CGI now.
Weird thing, using CGI instead of people and props and scenery does not make the productions more cost effective. Unless we're talking about very turd CGI anyone can add with some video editor software. Curious nod really how we make everything "better" without actually making it better (either by improving it in some way - looks, reliability, etc - or by reducing the cost).



 >>/41636/
Using props combined with CG works well. Furthermore I saw some video some time ago, dude said believability is important, while our brain can deal with fantasy settings seeing such BS like Legolas hopping further up from falling stones of a bridge (or whatever he was hopping from in that scene) triggers us and makes us irk.

 >>/41644/
Ran is also good from Kurosava, has battle scenes too. Although I don't think the era is specified, but it is sure it's not Sengoku.

Here's the official invitation, Bernd.
The link to the thread:  >>/operate/11418/

 >>/41709/
What were you looking for exactly? Not that I could really recommend much, I've seen some Jap historical movies, but it's basically what already listed, plus that other one I wrote about in one of these threads with nice nature shots (but can't remember the title). No big battles in that however.

 >>/41711/
Heaven and Earth was focused on a military struggle, while Kagemusha was focusing on a struggle for the double to stay in his role. Even though there were battles, their purpose was something else than to show the fights. 

Anyway I was looking for more historical military films from this period.

 >>/41712/
Yeah, Ran also has battle scenes, but the drama around the shogun's family is the central theme. I suspect that's Kurosava's style.
Why specifically this period? Anything from any other period (even if it's hypothetical, like Ran) will look like fairly the same. Well, Sengoku had rifles, but for example the struggle between the Fujiwaras, Tairas, and Minamotos (can't remember the name of the period from the top of my head), was very similar in appearance.

My uncle gifted me Danger Close for Christmas so I watched this just now. Well I watched it and then read the Wikipedia page.

It was fairly average, a bunch of people shooting at and shelling Asians in a forest for 2 hours. It had some odd socialist dramatisations that were part of what made me look up the battle on Wikipedia, for example they order the company involved in the battle to withdraw and the company commander tells them to **** off and that he won't leave a man behind, I could find no mention of this happening. After this he asks for ammunition and the army officers say no but the RAAF say that they are going to ignore the officers and go anyway. Apparently the opposite happened and the Army had actually asked the RAAF to supply them but the RAAF thought it to be to dangerous, then the army starting asking the US liaison about doing it and they were going to which embarrassed the RAAF so they did in the end.

Watched this. Bernd, don't repeat my mistake.
Did they blew all their funds for Bruce Willis' paycheck? Or was this just a kindergarten project of his grandkid? It's horrible. Some movies are horrible but entertaining for some mysterious reason. This one has no such redeeming quality.



 >>/41912/
So this was about an Australian bushranger, an outlaw, and a folk hero, with serious moodswings (did he suffer from manic depression or some such?).
The low budget was reflecting well in the various fake beards of the protagonist. The acting isn't top notch, but the story offers enough hilarity and ridiculousness to make that forgettable. Most wtf moments comes from the protag's unstable mental health and unpredictability, they topped this with some supporting characters who also serve couple of unusual lines.
Plus nature and boongs.

Next occasion: Four Lions.

Watching this Finnish... comedy I guess. It's a tv show, the Perfect Commando.
It's about an American bloke who gets sucked into the Finnish army and have to participate in the third safest commando training. It features blonde blockface chicks who all behaves like autists. Not sure if it's due to bad acting or because they are Finnish. Also features Finnish rap. Couple of actors I recognize from Heavy Reissu (huh this one we should watch on a movie night).

Yeah, I searched a little too. It seems there really aren't any.

In other news, I watched Onyx Equinox recently. It's pretty impressive in how it presents the material culture of Mesoamerica completely accurately and without lumping the cultures together (it might be one of a kind in this respect actually). The non-material culture is pretty spot on as well, although the gods can act out of role at times. The plot is ass during the first half of the show, but it gets much better later. There's also bobs and vagene and even benis. Overall breddy gud.








Watched the first episode yesterday. It's watchable. Cringy at certain parts. Enjoy Jews getting implied to be called subhumans. I wonder about the whole material they actually recorded, since - as usual - what we can see is heavily cut.
No, the protag is not Fred, but was interesting to see his name on the imdb article (there are four people listed under the "Series Cast").

Still at this QAnon series  >>/42283/
Three episodes came out, not sure if it's all, the finished a third one with conclusions so I assume this is it.
However they did not interview - whom they call with kinda sinister tone - The Watkins, I can imagine they could refuse that, but the creators of the series don't even mention they did such thing. Why not ask Jim's opinion? Couldn't they reached him, not even in e-mail or something?
The series is sensationalist ofc, I'm not familiar with Vice that much but from the little I know I can guess it fits their profile. Several people they interviewed seemed giant attentionwhores, frankly; judging how paranoid are they... I don't want to go in that direction.
It was fine in the background while I edited the photos (of the backscratcher, which honestly is more important).

Watched it. I concur, worth it.
It's a pretty movie with great shots. Many where one color dominates. Many scenes in tunnel like environment with light at the far end. Here  >>/33994/ two more examples.
The violence around him isn't just his own emanating from himself, but it starts out with others victimizing him, verbally and physically. The verbal follows him through the whole movie, and the physical was started way before in his past - as we learn it. Yeah, he is impulsive but selective in his victims.
> To him, his violence is funny and comedic.
It's weird because he doesn't seem to enjoy it for long. It makes him laugh but it makes him suffer, he is conflicted. Only by the end he understands that he finds it funny, and he just gives in, tho doesn't seem comfortable with it entirely only at the very end.
I wonder how he started to take his medication, and how he was diagnosed with what exactly. He isn't like the previous Jokers, there is a human in him, and his fate compels to feel compassion towards him.
I think it's a dramatic and depressing movie, with quite a few cringey moments (which ofc intentional). I see why many chan dwellers could identify with him or hail his actions, why the movie got popular, and see why it got criticized by some for the such fanbase it produced, although the movie is innocent in that.

 >>/42436/
> I see why many chan dwellers could identify with him or hail his actions, why the movie got popular, and see why it got criticized by some for the such fanbase it produced, although the movie is innocent in that.
There was controversy, now even more ridiculous and needless in hindsight. At its most extreme perhaps implying it could cause a mass shooting. I wonder if the producers had a hand in that so it'd draw more attention. I also find it likely they sought to market to the general (in very broad terms) Bernd-like audience, realizing their value as consumers, and this controversy was useful for that as the polarization gave the audience an attachment to the movie. And it's curious that there were memes involving clowns for a while before the major announcement.

Hey. I just watched this movie on the TV: Mokuš (2000). It is based on a novel by Feri Lainšček (one of top writers of contemporary Slovenia), and has an interesting history: after being recorded in 2000, due to certain disputes between the people involved making the movie, and due to the controversial theme of morality and immorality of the church, and of the local pagan demons, the movie ended up "in the bunker" and was only recently released, I believe it was never in the cinemas even.

And turns out someone uploaded it online over a year ago already.

Watched both of these after I got a taste for them from the Joker. Ofc seen these before.
So so different Jokers they present to us. Their backstory: first (Nicholson) was a career criminal before his change, the second (Ledger) has an unknown past with very unreliable stories about it ("do you wanna know how did I get these scars?"), and the third (Phoenix)is an unfortunate bloke with kinda mystery past due to his and his mom's mental illness. Their behaviour: a confident happy fool, an impulsive anarchist, and a confused amateur. The motivation of their followers: criminals from the already existing structure of the mob, ragtag outlaws from petty thugs to loonies, average joes who are got enough of the system. Their arch-nemeses: lonely Batman, Batman his sidekicks and law enforcement heroes, a talk-show comedian.
I think I prefer The Dark Knight, the Batman is just too wacky, and - frankly - dated, the the Joker is too depressing. And the Ledger Joker is so sinister, unpredictable, and just has fun scenes. Also that violin-ish sound effect in the background matters a lot.

 >>/42553/
The character of their facepaint also differs.
The first one is actually his face, the result of the chemical and the surgery. Two times during the movie the Joker uses cosmetics to hide it, painting himself a "normal" color. The smile is always fixed which from the distance of the years passed since looks too artificial.
The Dark Knight's Joker has an aggressive look to it, one dude at the beginning calls it a warpaint (as a reply to the question: "Why do they call him a Joker?"), and it is true, it is intimidating, especially with the scars. And with the stories (his dad cut up his face, him took a razor in his mouth) the red curve isn't a smile anymore but the bloody gash which healed but this way it's still open. It helps with the cynical, thy slightly disgusted look.
The paint of the Joker in the Joker is a clown, it was his job and represented a passion for it, and for humour he couldn't into. It isn't a sad clown but isn't something that would help you laugh, which also comes from the nature of the person behind it. Kinda creepy but until he puts on the Joker persona, until he transforms, one can feel bad about the poor sod, and the clown paint adds to that.

Good premise, shitty implementation. Ofc it's aliens!
Also Cage's performance is bad. I think he is good for certain roles.
I consoomed Face/Off too. This one isn't bad. Well, at least in the same sense as Knowing is, all Nick Cage movies are kinda bad, yaknowaddamsayin. It's fun.

If someone else did it, the movies wouldn't be liked so much.

Actually a lot of actors star in terri-bad movies. We just remember the good ones they star in.

True, their successes makes their career memorable.

This is also true. He has a character that adds to the enjoyability. Still his movies has this duality of shittiness and awesomeness. I understand his work is controversial and triggeres wide range of reaction from people, who usually divided by hating or loving it.

An old Russian live action movie adaptation of Lord of the Rings, from 1991, thought lost, has recently resurfaced.

Haven't watched yet, but reminds me of that other 1985 adaptation of the Hobbit based on the description.

 >>/43237/
Hey, I watched the Part 1, before Part 2 came out. Ebin movie.

 >>/43241/
Then that needs to be saved for posterity.

Baahubali 2 is worth a watch. It's so ridiculous. The aesthetic is also something different. I'm not sure who is the target audience, probably everyone in India, but still. That flying swan ship scene, with it's overly romantic overtones and singing and shit...
Maybe gonna check out 1 sometimes.

 >>/43241/

It is hardcore cringe, although comparing it to average movie isn't fair. It is television play: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_play - more like theatre-to-video, not real movie. And such funny video effects are actually even too good to such genre, because most of plays feature no effects at all.

There was also unfinished Soviet animation for Hobbit: https://youtube.com/watch?v=2hWwu17udnI - only intro was made.

Watched this masterpiece. A blaxploitation comedy, faux-documentary, a mockumentary, a glockumentary.
It's about a gangster rap band, somehow remained on the scene, stuck in the 80s. It isn't that much fun, tho probably got the references, have just enough knowledge on the subject from GTA:SA, and a couple negercore movies.
Maybe gonna watch other negercore stuff in the future. Huge ass list on wikipeda: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hood_films








Fugg. Was talkin to quick. Cytube doesn't support the codec I encoded it with. Gonna try another one tomorrow I think.
The basic problem is that it's in an avi container which aint good for cytube. So I reencoded it to mp4, but with h265 codec and cytube does not like that either. So gonna try it with h264. I dunno if it will compress it to small enough however so I could upload it to femto.pw where I could stream it from. Because the original avi is too large.


This Nightcrawler movie is breddy gud. Story, acting, the looks all good and enjoyable. The plot gradually gets heavier, and essentially for me it depicts how inherently broken people get successful by simply being driven on a compulsory level (part of their disability). They don't get bothered by the situation of other people, they just run them over, use them, and forget about them. They don't have violent tendencies like those of them who turn into serial killers and such, but have no scruples to harm anyone and profit from it. I have no idea about the intentions of the creators of the movie, if they used a psychological profile, maybe a real life role model, or anything, it's just this is what it reminds me.

It was just the one in the movie. I was just extrapolating that onto real life.

First time.

> How did you like Apocalypse Now?
It was worth the large time investment, it's engrossing and feels more and more like a dream as it goes up the river. Not a nightmare, strangely enough. It's a heavy, macabre story but doesn't feel like terror, it's like the captain is there just as a spectator, I didn't feel a strong fear of death.

 >>/43500/
It does gets surreal.
I have a collection of Vietnam war movies. Eh, maybe it is a stretch calling it collection.
Platoon, Hamburger Hill, Full Metal Jacket, Good Morning Vietnam, and this. I know couple more that are loosely connected to the topic (liek Rambo, or Tropic Thunder, or Hair, or Forrest Gump). And I suppose there are other actual war movies that fully play in that time and place but I'm not aware of. Maybe this could be explored.




 >>/43731/
Pls remember to put this on /operate/ (the streaming time, which is UTC, remember!) and on the boards with the thread bernd. 


> Were you able to watch the Gangsta Rap?
Ach bernd. I actually haven't due to workings. But I'll get to it either this week or the next. Stay tuned

 >>/43765/
> on /operate/
Thanks for reminding me. I forgot.
> and on the boards with the thread bernd.
I did. And on the boards with no thread I shilled it in the active threads. On the boards that had posters yesterday or the day before.
> due to workings
Good you found a way to earn money.
> But I'll get to it either this week or the next.
No hurry.

This one is breddy gud, follows closely the firs novel (and the earlier radio broadcast). Clearly the movie was made along a bit different taste, but 25 years and different everything but the story base tend to do that. I'd say I prefer this version, although watching that late and during one sitting was a bit much.
Costumes, props, masks, special effects, music are all gives late 70s vibes (ofc I've no much xp in late '70s British cultural scene) and in some ways it reminds of Star Wars (1977).
I think it was made for an audience who was already familiar with the radio show - I read it was a hit back then. However probably the radio show had to be even more confusing for first time listeners.






So, Brazil.
Good movie, good cast. Watching for the first time might be overwhelming, can be easily lost in the quick, chaotic scenes, with their absurd content. Many details to notice, or to miss, depending.
The story itself is simple. As Wilson (from House MD) put it:
> boy meets girl, boy gets stupid, boy and girl live happily ever after
... well, "living" with a minor difference.
The circumstances, the garnish, so to speak, is quite elaborate however. Great amount of political charge - largely influenced by 1984 (no coincidence movie came out 1985).
I saw it some time ago (I think about 2007 or so), with this two rewatch of Saturday, I think I appreciate it the same, maybe a bit more.

I recently finished watching MÄR (102 episodes). It was good. 7/10. I recommend it. Though there were some episodes i didnt like but overall it was a good experience.
I also finished all seasons of Zero No Tsukaima. Its a harem show. I was expecting it to be awful but it was surprising. The show was interesting and felt unique. While i enjoyed season 1 and season 2, i did not enjoy season 3 and season 4. But i kept watching out of respect to the author who passed away a few years ago.

> Something is telling me, you aren't the Swede used to post here.
Im not him. I came here from kc 1 day ago.
> What's a "harem show"?
Do you know what a harem is? You have several women as your wives. Basically there are several girls in love with the main character. Thats what qualifies as a harem show. But also the reason i said "harem show" was because i was expecting it to be a bad or mediocre show. Pretty much every harem show copies one-another. Thats what surprised me because the show felt original and fresh. It felt unique.

I didnt feel like it. Sometimes you just dont feel like watching stuff like that. Sometimes you want to watch something thats mediocre. I just wanted to relax for a bit and enjoy harem antics

Yeah, it was pretty good from what i remember. Though i ended up dropping it.

Brand new show is out there (two episodes aired for now it seems), The Republic of Dave Sarah. The cast is properly diverse, with a story dominated by stronk women, but the premise of story made me thought this might be worth a look (I haven't yet).
So the background is that a small town just at the border of Canada and the US lays on an area which isn't really claimed by either country, and the residents want to stop some evil company to do drilling for some resource there, exploiting this particular detail.
Maybe it would be better as a comedy, but they made a drama. We'll see.
