I feel like not enough respect is paid to Jackie Brown as the soft launch of Tarantino co-opting another film’s score. It’s impossible to miss all the Morricone and Bacalov cues in stuff like the Kill Bill films or Django. But Roy Ayers’ Coffy cues don’t draw attention to themselves. It just works.

I think even without the meta framing, there was a very sweaty quality to its marketing (and i recognize that the film is partly about this) with regards to its positioning in relation to its own rhetoric and relationship to ”satire“. It felt to me like it was telegraphing effortfully.

it’s a movie that talks down to its audience and you can tell by the trailer and people generally don’t like watching that kind of thing

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

i feel it is unfair of me because i've never watched anything more than a handful of clips, and, you know, i don't love knocking stuff i'm unwilling to try. but it is a little bit of a pervasive aura that the show has. are you able to sell me on it? (minding that i am not a tv person)

i think they def have kinds of movies and gravitate towards filmmakers that have a distinct style, like a Miramax or a Focus, but i think the idea of there being a consistent visual language for an a24 movie is quite overblown

it's one of my little pet peeves. i understand they have a branded visual identity but the actual overlap between movies is much more variant and diverse. it's a distribution/production company with a library, not, like, an actual director/cinematographer with a resume.

Skyfall is a Goldfinger ripoff, and Live and Let Die is an unbearable song that also doesn’t make sense with the musical style of the movie (should be funk, since the film is faux blaxploitation). Useful for fancams and little else.
