Ray Romano can really act too. There was a lot of depth in that performance.

I didn't realise the Duplass brothers had scored a four picture deal with Netflix either, until reading about Paddleton. That's good news, I love their work.

agreed - i love what romano did in the big sick and vinyl - hes really surprised me with his second act as a dramatic actor

same re the brothers duplass - i actually really liked the roadtrip aspect to paddleton because it reminded me of the puffy chair ... listened to a really interesting interview with mark in which he mentioned taking a lot of meetings early on only to find out that there was nothing in common with the work that studios were offering and what they were interested in doing - he said after a few too many of those jay and he decided 'we make movies - not meetings' - looks like their credo really worked out for them and im so happy to see them getting work in different areas and on different platforms

the beach bum was funny/silly - i laughed so much - straight up giggled a few times ... the scenes with martin lawrence are priceless!

Gotta love Harmony Korine.

Anyone watched Parasite, the new Bong Joon-ho film yet? I'm hoping to go this weekend.

Nope, but I look forward to seeing it.

**Sydneyfan** · 07-06-2019, 03:10 AM

So, Parasite was fantastic. Difficult to say much more without spoiling it.

**sleigher** · 07-07-2019, 02:17 PM

watched her smell last night - really liked it - great cast and well written

Parasite was insane. Loved it. Korean film has been on fire (for me) these past few years. Train to Busan, The Handmaiden, The Wailing, Parasite, and my personal favourite, the amazing Burning. Good times? Not really, but great films.

burning is excellent!

Dowd · 07-08-2019, 01:24 AM

Dude, yeah. Blew me away. So amazing, when I got home I ordered the US Blu-ray instantly because I couldn't wait for an Aus release and had to see it again, stat!

Booksmart was excellent. I have such a soft spot for coming of age movies, and this was a standout.

The trailer for Booksmart looks terrific. I still need to see Burning, but I've only heard good things. And I reckon Parasite must be an early favourite for Best International feature at the Oscars this year.

under the silver lake was a lot of fun - looking forward to watching it again

I also enjoyed it.

**Sydneyfan** · 08-14-2019, 11:16 PM

Anyone watched Blinded By The Light yet? To be honest, the trailer looks a little cheesy and paint-by-numbers, but as a big Bruce fan, I'm still looking forward to seeing it.

Dowd · 08-18-2019, 08:39 AM

Caught Once Upon A Time In Hollywood the other night. Big Tarantino fan from way back, but it was just alright for me. 7/10. Not up there with his best, but certainly not his weakest film (for me, that's Django). Curiously, despite my mixed feelings, I'm keen to see it again, and soon. I dunno, I reckon it's just cause of how good it looked, and because Brad Pitt rules.

This looks really interesting. Apparently its a very meta black comedy ( a film within a film within a film etc) and features Adam Pearson, who was so effective in Under the Skin. The entire issue of casting people with a disability in movie roles is pretty thorny - so kudos to someone for broaching the subject.

**sleigher** · 10-21-2019, 03:07 PM

has anyone seen joker?

is it worth the hype?

same and same. i loved the nostalgia baked in since it’s based on a true story. the depiction of racism and hatred was also very powerful especially given the current political climate.
