That is Noah Baumbach's best movie easily.

Is Frances Ha worth watching? That always pops up on Top 50 Movies on (insert streaming device) articles on Paste and other places.

I think Frances Ha is a well made movie and I understand why people like it but honestly it just wasn't for me. I would still recommend it, though.

It has Adam Driver in my favorite scenes. It shares some DNA with GIRLS if you like that tv show, but without Lena Dunham and with a great director.

I dig Frances Ha, but I'm pretty much a sucker for everything I've seen from Baumbach and mumblecore in general.

just finished Tropical Malady; my first experience with Weerasethakul.
thought it was two stories...reading the description afterwards changes the perspective I had for the entire second half. Tying the two together contextually makes the second half even more moving.

Saw this a few weeks ago at Beyond Fest, second half is pretty fucking bonkers. Cage raging out and dunking tomatoes into a trash can is pure bliss.

I’ve only seen cemetery of splendor which was real good. Just checked the IMDb and the adventures of iron pussy certainly looks like something.

Baumbach's doing a whole retrospective coupled with films he loves at Metrograph in NYC. Trying to see his showing of Greenberg and then The Long Goodbye afterwards. I really need to see Marriage Story too. Frances Ha is so goddamned good, but I adore 90% of his output.
Meow - if you want another modern neo noir, I'd suggest Brick - Rian Johnson's first movie. I haven't seen it in some time but I remember being really impressed by it first viewing.
Rewatched Upstream Color last night - it still blows my mind how well done this movie is. The fact he did the score and sound design as well just adds to Carruth's brilliance. I know we probably won't see that movie about the shipping industry for like 5 years but I really wish he wouldn't have outright abandoned A Topiary either, sounded like it could've been an amazing sci fi creature movie.

Watched The Aerial (La Antena) last night and loved it. So unique in its execution and editing techniques. An Argentinian almost silent movie from 2007 that reminded me of Metropolis, what with the excellent score, it being black and white, and the futuristic dystopian setting. Not as epic, but a lot more surreal and artsy, for a lack of a better term. You'll probably enjoy this if you enjoyed Eraserhead. The latter's Blu-ray is, I think, also where I saw a trailer for it.

I’m torn between Doctor Sleep and Jojo Rabbit.
Which do I see tomorrow before work??

Love Baumbach
Squid and Whale > Frances Ha > The Meyerowitz Stories > Mistress America > While We're Young > Greenberg (I know this is one of his classics but for some reason it didn't connect with me)
Never saw Margot at the Wedding, should I check it out?
Can't wait to see Marriage Story!

I just watched The King on Netflix and was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The acting was great, its well-paced, the violence isn't unrealistic or unnecessary and the script struck a nice balance between being completely understandable but also not doing away completely with Shakespeare-esque language. Probably the best shakespearean adaption that I can think of.
And chalamet was fine as hell, as always.

Finally checked out Under the Silver Lake last night. Loved everything about it.
As far as Noire inspired films, I'd also recommend Inherent Vice and maybe Drive fits the bill? Either way both excellent movies.

I am so stoked for Marriage Story too. Looks like some possible Oscars for performances there.

Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver give career best performances in Marriage Story, it would be a terrible snub if they don't get nominated.

Agreed. I've watched it a few times and it's always entertaining as hell. Easily my fave Josh Brolin character/performance, Phoenix is hysterical, and how great is Martin Short in this? To me it's a perfect film. My fave from the year it came out.

Just saw the trailer on tv for a movie called Richard Jewell. John Hamm, Sam Rockwell and some other notables, directed by Clint Eastwood.

Inherent Vice is a one of kind movie. I always get so wrapped up in everything and then in the end it (much like Once Upon ATIH) becomes so melancholy and specific to how times are changing and how people react (or dont) to it. The Neil Young and the Sam Cooke needle drops are perfect and just give you that perfect feel that only watching great movies can.
the end scene where Doc talks to Japonica's dad Crocker Fenway is some of the realest deal classic Noir speak ever.
