Reply to Was Bruce Willis in Die Hard the ushering in of the modern everyman action star? by SquatOnAPitbull
It was a weird to me, a kid at the time, as I loved Moonlighting (not that I got all the jokes) seeing David Addison shooting people. He’s still a cop in the movie so not quite an “everyman” but very capable.
North by Northwest has more like an “everyman” (even though Cary Grant is a big star) because he don’t know how to do shit.

Reply to How to watch and analyse arthouse cinema? by lonzosch
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with changing your opinion on a film based on talking with someone or reading essays. We can certainly appreciate art through our own internalization but it’s also wonderful to hear a different (and hopefully informed/intelligent) perspective. They can re-enforce our opinions and bolster confidence in our understanding or challenge us to re-examine. I love art essays and analysis.

Don’t be too surprised when you come back around. I’ve found a lot of love for movies that went from “beloved” in my teens-20s to “irrelevant” in my 30s now that I’m in my 40s.

Yikes. “Where’s the forest?” would be this guy’s first question.

Solaris is not quite that long. I absolutely love it though.

There are tons of comics that are made with adults in mind, btw. Not infantilized adults.

Reply to Question for those who’ve seen Dark Fate, and may even like it. by Screenwriter6788
I don’t imagine a writer or a director making a movie that’s part of a big franchise is going to successfully misdirect the audience. As in second guess the plot or characters in a world where people are making videos dissecting every moment in a trailer and trying to “predict” every plot point instead of just watching a movie.
Your normal or even just curious moviegoers are going to be charmed at the tease of a misdirection but the cynical moviegoers are going feel rush of superiority in not being “fooled”.
