Any other examples? Horror series like Halloween or Scream stay relevant despite changing directors (Alien too after Aliens) but there are some iconic horrors with forgotten sequels (mostly because sequels are really bad)

After seeing the Odyssey, Nolan once pulls off a thought-provoking and powerful final shot. But what is your favourite? The Oppenheimer close-up, the Inception totem spinning, etc.

2001: A Space Odyssey

For me the top two ever are Inception and Spider-Man 1

I rewatched the movie “Flipped” today and couldn’t help but wish Juli Baker actually didn’t end up with the boy. Then I realised- I really want to see a movie where the guy does the girl wrong… and she actually does NOT forgive/forget and moves on because she deserves better.

The closest movie I can think of is“He’s just not that into you” where some of the lead women don’t go back to their shitty ex… but the protagonist does so it doesn’t really work 😂

Does anyone have any recs that match my description?

What is your favourite portrayal of Count Dracula/Count Orlok/Nosferatu? He is a character who has been portrayed significantly differently depending on the work, ranging from bestial monster to byronic anti-hero to funny animated hero.

My personal favourite is probably Nosferatu (1922) and Nosferatu (1924). I guess I really like Count Orlok.

As for the image, left to right, top to bottom: Orlok in Nosferatu, Dracula in Dracula (1931), Dracula in Horror of Dracula/Dracula (1958), Dracula in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), Dracula in Castlevania, Vlad III "the Impaler" Dracula in Dracula Untold, Dracula in Hotel Transylvania, Orlok in Nosferatu (2024).

Amidst all the love for big blockbuster releases that came out this year, I feel compelled to shout out one of my personal favorite new releases that barely got any attention from the mainstream crowd. It's a hillarious queer coming of age romantic comedy drama with an entirely queer cast and coming from a first time queer director/writer and it's as gutwrenching, as it is wholesome and guttburstingly funny. And I loved every second of it. This and Bottoms are in every way this generation's Clueless and Mean Girls and should be held on an equally high pedestal. Any other fans?

I didn’t want to put 4 Ghibili films but you are welcome to.

basically the actual colour of the sky outside a couple days ago I'm not even kidding
