Oh I say more than half are okay at best. But I absolutely get duped every time he drops a new one because BLADE RUNNER & ALIEN & LEGEND. 🙃 Why'd you skip out on THE DUELLISTS? That's one I still have yet to see 🤓

Perhaps one of his best films and one of the most if not the most accurate films about sword fighting. The story it's based on is incredibly fascinating.

Gladiator fucking rocks. It does exactly what it needs to do. I don't hate it but CGI Rome did not age well. I dig Black Rain too but man does it get corny at times. I think at 86 it's time to chill in Margaritaville. In restaurant speak, 86 is code for "no more."

Would've been wild if they wen't with the Nick Cave penned script for Gladiator 2
Also, Joaquin Phoenix was an exceptional weasel bitch in the first Gladiator

I recently re-watched Gladiator and thought it held up pretty damn well.

Strange Darling was indeed a fun time, but opening your film with a title screen that says "shot entirely in 35mm" is sooooooo fucking corny

I know Giovanni Ribisi was the director of photography for it and I get a feeling that he forced that into the film.

Finally doing a deep dive of Ingmar Bergman films, starting with Wild Strawberries. This was my grandmother's favorite film and I don't think I got it the first time around because I really enjoyed it this time. I think I needed to learn more about life and have a failed marriage to really understand the kind of pain that Bergman translates to the screen so well.
Speaking of marital pain, I watched roughly half of Scenes from a Marriage tonight and will finish the rest tomorrow. I figure since it was originally a television series this style of watching it in pieces will work. The '70s seems like a world apart from Isak's idyllic childhood of the '10s. If anything, all of the minutiae of strictly regimented daily lives is even worse now than it was for Johan and Marianne. I found the dialog to be too real for comfort at times.
The past four days of the holiday weekend I've done nothing but sleep all day and all night. I wish I had had the idea of watching some masterworks first because this shit is giving me life.
What should I watch next, Seventh Seal or Persona?

'Autumn Sonata' and 'Winter Light' have been my two favorite Bergman movies. 'Persona' has an insane intro, worth watching just to see Bergman go experimental.
Got to see 'Rebel Ridge' tonight. Awesome movie. Haven't felt that sustained tension in a movie theater for a new release since 'Prisoners'? Aaron Pierre kills it. Whole cast is grade-A.

the trailer looks like Death Wish 3 for killing cops so i'm definitely intrigued
Kinds of Kindness was kinds of dumb in a way, but also subtly profound and way more my speed for Yorgos material than Poor Things was

Rewatched heat. It’s almost unfair how good this movie is compared to pretty much every other flick of its ilk. What a fuckin masterclass

I recently re-watched Gladiator and thought it held up pretty damn well. same. thought the effects looked great, too (minus the deepfake oliver reed) Board is really making me rethink my stance on this one. The last time I watched it was with my old man who's a far right turd that gets a twisted sense of American exceptionalism from watching it. So I was probably reaching for reasons to drag it. But I do earnestly remember CG Rome looking poorly aged. Speaking of Oliver Reed though, has Board seen The Devils? Is there a version available that's close to the original cut?

Shudder and The Criterion Channel used to have it on there, but I guess it got removed. I'm anticipating a proper Blu-Ray release for this one day.

What should I watch next, Seventh Seal or Persona? Out of the 5 Bergmans ive seen, these are the only 2 that I really like. I find something to like in the other ones ive seen, im just not fully sold on them (Hour of the Wolf, Winter Light, The Rite.) I'd say go with Seventh Seal first. What Persona does I feel has been done better by another director who made a 1972 film The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant.
