<An everyday love story set in the not so distant future sees blackbirds battling with technology, automatic palm readers and power cuts.

I looked for more content from Matthias Hoegg, but found that he's chosen a more profitable career as animator for hire. Still he's done interesting work for various corporate and non-profit clients.

I’ve grown too cynical over the years to take this kind of news as anything but worthless. Either the academy was interested in changing things up (for renewed interest, credibility, and optics in general, appealing to “alternative” audiences), Blender had some sort of in with this whole ordeal and it somehow amounts to easy promotion, and/or the director is another wet towel who will be directing shit in a few years for big studios (most, if not all,  directors start low budget). The animation itself is ugly in general although the movements are interesting. Regardless, winning an academy award and attending that event sounds like a nightmare and it would be hard to respect the director or anyone involved or to take them seriously as artists. I can’t imagine this movie being good.

I watched Krabat from Karel Zeman recently. I'm more into his work that combines animation with live-action filming and trick photography, but I think it's worth a watch. I'd like to watch his other feature-length cartoons from the final phase of his career, but I wish his work was more readily available. The guy was brilliant. He gets compared to Ray Harryhausen, but I think that his work was more versatile and artistically interesting despite his stop-motion skills not being on Harryhausen's level. He had a much bigger bag of tricks to incorporate into his work. Even a cutout animation film like Krabat has some interesting effects techniques other than raw cutout animation.

>actor embodies a man who feels an amatory attraction towards a 15 year old nubile nymphet
How did he do it bros? How was the actor able to overcome nature and all known standards of justice and decency, all for the sake of art?

I, for one, cannot imagine having "carnal vicinity" with a woman of less than 35 years of age. My own mother gave birth to me at the barely pubescent age of 44; I haven't ever and will never touch a woman younger than that.

But I am, dear bros, neither an Actor nor a Hero.

Should one give his life for Art? Would you?

Iranian cinema warrants its own thread as the style of them and their directors are distinct enough to stand out and level up with Europeans.  The 5 movies here are classics or well-known to start with.

The Death of Yazdgerd recalls the kangaroo court upon a family of accusing the refuging last shah of the Sassanian dynasty.

Where Is the Friend's Home details a child trying to give his friend his homework he took on accident lest his friend be expelled.

Atom Heart Mother is some paranormal mystery thriller during the recession I didn't have subtitles for it.

Ballad of Tara is about a women giving away her grandfather's possessions to her village as she can't keep them but finds no one who will accept his shamshir.

The Night Bus is about an Iranian prisoner convoy of Arab POWs in 1983 during the Iran-Iraq War.

> in this case "wind" is part of religious ritual in the south

Upon further review, the religious ritual counteracts the "wind of jinn" which supposedly scatters people around the world via "many emigrations". I don't know how this odd phenomenon developed, but perhaps it all makes sense in the documentary.

I finally watched Tall Shadows of the Wind. It's a real gut punch, even though I already knew the basic concept of the film.
The villagers aren't as superstitious as plot summaries make it sound, though. They're mostly reasonable until they're confronted by terrifying circumstances.

>A Separation
Just saw this mentionned a few days back and gave it a go, what actually blew me away is that it's not in the least trying to be impressive like many pretentious movies nowdays. It's just a simple, down to earth movie that fucking works. The last scene felt like a tribute to Nolan, or at least a reference to Inception.
Feels like I discovered a gold mine

We can all agree they're reddit right?
Had two normalfags in class bring it up in their project, Part of me even wanted to step out of my comfort zone and go "Haha EPIC I too have seen films that are part of the Criterion Collection!" but thankfully didn't. 
In addition to the fact that towards the end of 2020 when they dropped a physical release bomb or something dozens of people made exposure videos that all got hundreds of thousands of views, we can all agree that as of 2020, they are officially Reddit right? Maybe in the 2010's they were obscure enough to be relegated to only cuckchan tier but now that normalfags jump up in excitement at the name, we can just confirm that it's reddit right?

AFAIK he had restarted the blog/site a couple of times due to copyright along with having to re-upload a ton of stuff again, hence why he devised that rule of no movies previous to a certain year and such, but last time that it got taken down he seems to have had enough and called it quits.
The book blog is still up, in theory that one should be much more of a shame if lost due to ripping books not being as easy as ripping a DVD or VHS, still his movie blog was gold due to having many titles that cannot be obtained unless you are in a specialized private tracker.
I think he's still very alive and somewhat active in other platforms in terms of presence but his film uploading days seem to have stopped.

Lately I've been watching nonfiction content from the silent era -- found footage, documentary, early fragments. This excellent video from the Museum of Modern Art captures a lot of what attracts me to these films.

I'm just disappointed that it's often difficult to find quality versions of this stuff. Watching anything potato quality youtube or even DVD doesn't do justice to the footage, and you lose the experience of time travel if you can't see clear details.

I finished Napoleon and it's undoubtedly a monumental film, much better than J'accuse, but I was surprised that the essence of Napoleon's life - his conquest of Europe - is not even included. After 5 and a half hours, Napoleon finally takes his first step into Italy.

The End.

The impressionistic triptych is beautiful regardless. I suppose Waterloo is a better film for coverage of the Napoleonic Wars. I've also got the Sacha Guitry's Napoleon from 1956 but I've never seen anyone recommend that one.

Not a Euro-fag but I travel a lot. Heavy security is pretty common in most public places in large cities in both the US and Europe. Just another side affect of bringing a bunch of 3rd world niggers into a once nice society.

So I'm a big fan of the genre, trying to gather the best examples.

Indiana Jones trilogy as well as Young Indiana Jones chronicles – goes without saying these are the best.

The Mummy 1, 2 – probably the next best thing. Just all around well made wholesome entertainment.

Armor of God 2 – so Jackie Chan wanted to make his version of Indiana Jones and I have to say he succeeded.  It's great both as a Jackie film and a treasure seeking film. The first Armor of God is also alright but it's always been a bit too dry and boring for me, especially in comparison to the sequel.

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – I was actually surprised how decent this was for what it is. Surprisingly well-made. Peak Jolie too. The sequel is kinda crap and what you'd actually expect from something like this, and the NuBoot should be avoided like plague.

The Adventures of Tintin – despite being obnoxious in-your-face 3D, it eventually grows on you and definitely scratches that globe-trotting treasure-hunting itch real good. I wish this was made earlier when Spilerberg was still a real director.

National treasure – it's kinda silly and derivative, being a Yidsney movie for younger audiences, but the first film just about passes as enjoyable and well enough made which was still a thing in 2004.

One of the primary inspirations for Raiders of the Lost Ark was Otto Rahn, a folklorist author turned SS officer who believed he could find the Holy Grail

Literature should be mandatory for film buffs.
Otto Rhan was fascinated with 'Holy Grail' lore (it's just a cup a carpenter would use!  Probably ceramic and broken by now!).  He wrote about and spent all his money searching for it.  In the 1930's Himmler gave him a paid job to look for it - he accepted, but suicided years later after failing to find it and the SS were closing in on his secrets:  he was a poofter Jew... in the SS!

Is there one for KG-adjacent movies? Or would any generous soul be interested in making one?

I would really recommend 'Two Headed Spy', a film about Major Scotland, a British spy planted in the German army after WWI, who rose to become Lieutenant General of Logistics under Hitler.  Despite what's in the movie, he had a radio, not a contact, according to the book, and made sure the Germans:

- didn't have invasion barges after Dunkirk;
- didn't have winter furs for the Russia campaign;
- didn't have enough fuel for the Battle of the Bulge, and;
- told the allies where the German supply dumps were after the Normandy landings, so they bombed them.  Without supplies the Germans couldn't hold the line.
That well placed spy achieved so much.

It used to be available here:  

https://archive.org/details/moviesandfilms?noscript=true

But archive.org is down.  If you can find it I recommend the book.
