Hugely mixed feelings, has made some great films but much of his critically lauded stuff is trite. So I'll vote for these two....
1. Bad Timing
2. The Witches

The issue then being, St. Gloede, that you're viewing Bollywood cinema through cultural assumptions about the 'cinematic language' that are founded outside of the home of Bollywood, no?

I think there are a few of us who sympathize with Vulgar Auteuristic ideas [though I disagree with the term itself] in a sense that is overall well at odds with the rest of the community!

Re: Rating movies
Flip, I use your star ratings to browse sometimes! It's this reason that I still use 0.5 stars and 5 star ratings but have dispensed with everything in between. I just 'know' when something is that good or that bad, but anything in-between can be really vague and difficult to gauge.

Ljubav -- what a wonderful first half, with that glorious sexual imagery of communion, too! I felt the second half got a little bogged down, away from the conceptual enterprise toward the material and easily described.

I'd say <45mins qualifies as a short, but I'm planning to keep mine to under 30mins anyway.

Re: Television
I think in many ways 'The Outsider' plays like post-Twin Peaks: The Return television in its use of silence and manner. Stephen King's work has a lot more 'noise' in it and these days especially - since 'Lisey's Story,' at least - his work is kind of ruthlessly speedy with very little fat and flab a...

I saw the first episode. I'm not interested in continuing it, mostly because of how busy my personal life is over the coming months. I might catch up further down the line.

Sorting by popularity is really interesting. I had no idea the new Tarantino was such an apparent smash-hit, or that Scorsese still maintains non-niche credibility.

This is an astonishing list. I think it really captures the scope of the community.
