The Shining

[Corpsey]

Is it as good as the Shining

 

[version]

Corpsey working from home.

 

[version]

Is it as good as the Shining

Yes.

 

[Corpsey]

Jeff's making this guy watch the exorcist 3 at knifepoint which is what I imagine version might do

 

[version]

It's supposed to be good, actually.

 

[luka]

You should both watch this.

weird how sexual harrassment is always glorified in hollywood. i thought james caaaaaan's seduction technique in thief was pretty novel too.

 

[Corpsey]

Jeff watched it every day

In the old days we used to call that having a good time

Yeah, the beginning is horrendous. He just repeatedly bothers this woman in the street but then the ambulance kidnaps her and he tries to save her, kicking off the whole thing.

Wormtongue!

Jeff's lying on a bed with a mannequin and "please don't go" is on the stereo

It might make my top 10, up there with masterworks like Lord of the Rings, Master and Commander, Wild Strawberries, Kikis Delivery Service, Cast Away, Gone Girl and Avengers Assemble.

Cast Away! Yes Corpsey!

 

[Corpsey]

Notice how relatively unpretentious my list of top 10 films is -- is this because I don't place as much value on films as books, or because it's just much easier to consume films and I don't feel I have the time to waste on the literary equivalent of "Gone Girl" ("Gone Girl")

 

[Corpsey]

If I felt at liberty to read a load of trash (as well as the canonical stuff) I might proudly declare the Clancys, Koontzses and Kings along with the Joyces, Dantes and Pratchetts.

i just looked up michael manns filmography assuming its full of undervalued gems like this and the other classic, manhunter, but actually its a right load of shit. will smith as mohhamed ali, daniel day lewis as a red indian, 'miami vice'....

Its really a shame

 

[linebaugh]

Howd he even get greenlit for those?

 

[linebaugh]

Thats why you ask version for film recs though because he knows all the films that feel like they could have been michael mann deep cuts. Really I think thats the version aesthetic

 

[linebaugh]

Esteemed gentlemen. Skylines.

Bright lights but melacholy feel
