Philosophical discussion of Arthouse and Classics

Fish and Chips edition

Question of the day

What's your favourite bong film?

What the hell happened at the end there?

It is litrly me n 1 uthr ngr in thread

kino

This, Ikiru and Red Beard are all amazing

Of course, mein negger, Kurosawa dindu

Are people out having a social life? On HERE ? What’s going on ?

It's over. Gooodbye Anon Babble!

/philm/ thought of the day

When a thread gets archived, it takes a piece of us with it.

What the H guys, i'm here about 18 hours a day, but the few hours i'm not at least one of you has to keep the boat afloat. Seriously fellas, wtf.

QOD

Deep End (1970).

Regina di Anon Babble

Swan like elegance.

Definitely. I still need to watch her kino with Taxi Driver.

Ehem, Bobby, what are you doing to that man!?

She's lovely indeed.
Watched it recently. The first act is neat, the second act shits the bed. Outstanding cinematography all throughout though. Also, Neve is best girl.

watch The Hidden Fortress if you haven't yet. Peak adventure kino.

COME ON
COME ON
LET'S GO SPACE TRUCKIN'

Lel

Neve is best girl.

Alright, that's enough to convince me.

Couldn't get into it. I really don't like his Samurai/period movies for some reason, except for Red Beard.

Watch his last film, Madadayo.

holy shit this general is dead, nobody can keep up a conversation anymore

They've been slow threads since the return but today it's straight up dead.

Same

That's his best film and it's not even close.

Top sentimental old man kino.

Did she stick up a jewelry store before the photoshoot?

No, but I did have sex with Glenn Close.

Evening Anon Babble here's a new Sarah Gadon pic

One doesn't have sex with Glenn Close, one has sex done to him by Glenn Close.

In my headcanon Dalle is an assertive libertine.

Couldn't get into it.

Sad! It's got many iconic moments and a great framing. But to each his own.

This film unironically broke me

Why, anon?

How many times you got shot? (A lot)
How many niggas you shot? (A lot)
How many times did you ride? (A lot)
How many niggas done died? (A lot)

Sad!
It's over, pack up your shit and leave, anons.

How many times you got lensed? (A lot)
How many niggas you lensed? (A lot)
How many times did you lense? (A lot)
How many niggas done lensed? (A lot)

It made me feel an indescribable emotion

Is everyone on Twitter or something?

Guess i gotta bump it up on my watchlist then.

Thoughts on Mizoguchi?

My favorite character from Karnov's Revenge

Top 5 Japanese directors for sure. But he’s too sad for westerners who simply want to see a buff Mifune with a samurai sword claw nighas in half

He made a movie with the Shaw Brothers once

What this guy said. Shame he ate dirt too soon.

No way did not know Princess Kwang Fei is Shaw bros co production. It has shot at the top of my list.

Speaking of Shaw Brothers I have been binging their musicals. Madame White Snake from 1962 is one of the first times in a long while where I found a real hidden gem.

No offence but you guys are a little incompetent aren't you? In most generals people clamour to make the new thread.

It was archived before bump limit...

Forgot picrel
There’s like 100 films of this story

It's over.
I liked The Love Eterne a lot, don't remember if it's a Shaw production or not.

Also have some rare SB uploads on their official channel.

youtube.com/@shawbroscinema?si=sRoPd0dee7qRCnKb

I saw Love Eterne a few days ago, it is SB. Really great production but kind of dragged at parts.

The greatest japanese and one of the greatest in general, every film a gut punch and an arrow through the heart.

Thanks for this, anon.

Technically sublime. Not sure I love the relentless sadness of his work, feels one dimensional at times, but i've only seen Sansho and Ugetsu.

LMAO

Fuck off

Lil nigga be mad

You are welcome. I am watching A Maid from Heaven now and it’s pretty good. Just too bad it is from an old transfer but the songs are still really good

Melodramatic, simplistic, extremely heavy-handed director. The usual calls of 'masterpiece', 'superb', etc. he gets easily make him my biggest disagreement on the canon.

Mad at trash tier replies, barely above gadonposting in quality and contribution.

See

u r a fagit

Be nice to each other.

Not at all. I'm not a big fan of Kurosawa or samurai films either. You talk like that guy obsessed with the West and alleged grifters or whatever.

Dumontfag, relax. Take some estrogen coffee or something.

Throne of Blood too. Those fog scenes in the forest are kino

Not a fan of the Japanese, eh?

Very cruel race

He's putting a tariff on the arthouse, 100% on all foreign entries
Don't think there's any earthly force that can keep me from the cinema, this will just make my love for film grow and grow, the less access I have to it

FUCK OFF AND KILL YOURSELF, RETARD

Based orange man if true

it's real

wtf lmao

Will this manifest actual consequences or is this another bread and circus-nothingburger for the happeningfags to feast on?
Does this mean more green screen and more sets for yankee productions?
Are my homeboys PTA and Korine safe?

It means the only media we get will be from third generation nepo babies

Completely empty threat until he actually does it.

Oh look this faggot is back.

Don't twist dem panties, lil bro

FUCK YOUR DEATH I WILL RAPE YOU

Talk film or gtfo

Name the last films you watched. Rate them. Give a short commentary. I'll follow up.

won't do either :)

I'm only here to shitpost and make this general even more shitty than it already is.

how about them apples now?

Ehem, shitposting actually makes the general better, anon.

For me its the Angular Roughshark

There's way too much horsing around on Anon Babble

oh great being a cinephile in America is somehow gonna be even worse now.
thank god for piracy and fast internet speeds
I sure do love being the laughing stock of the developed world for 10 years running

Cry with your fellow discord xyrs about it

Gonna take your pirate sites and Internet for good measure, son.

what the fuck is he even talking about? Hollywood pumps out more record-breaking slop than ever now.

Every anon in here wants to shark me.

Homeboy is smart he knows that threatening with tariffs will keep production local while also making producers aware it is all in market no exporting to foreign countries therefore the films can be free to do their own thing without needing to appease foreign audiences. Amerimutt cinema is finally back on the fucking menu goys!

burn local or freeze global?

Latinas man fucking Latinas man lelskekek

without needing to appease foreign audiences

What the fuck are you talking about? Amerimutt filmslop is always propagandizing their flavor of the month ideology and values down the throat of foreign filmgoers that consume their yankeeslop blockbusters in their third world theatres. You need a reality check.

Well, well, well

I don't use social media

AAAAHHHHH

Just fapped. Good night, Anon Babble.

It means no mo bullshit about morals and propaganda meant for audiences over there though if we return to here it’ll all be about doing things homegrown and organic so it will be more for our own cultural understanding and not to appease the other worlders so like more woke taxi driver but they still can be more auteur driven and not committee think

WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!

No, we don’t mongoloid. Instead of blaming other countries, why don’t we look at ourselves to understand why our film industry is dying? Perhaps, it’s the fact that we all we do is produce slop that nobody wants to see or make. It’s strange that nobody is in attendance at the theaters that show all of the asinine mass produced shit, but two of my state’s arthouses are always packed and regularly sell out tickets. It’s almost like people still want to see movies, but are tired of all the formulaic bullshit that the industry thinks we want.

Just ask yourself one question. What American filmmaker who is still alive do you actually respect? I can come up with two, one of which doesn’t even direct anymore. Vincent Gallo and Harmony Korine.

Indies are dying they all struggling none are packed where do you live China or something g

our film industry is dying

But it isn't? Nowhere close to it, actually. You might not like what's being made, but it keeps making money be in theaters or streaming.

Ever think about how 30 years ago you could just pick up a 16mm camera and make a movie shot on film?

will Trump successfully put an end to the Oriental Grift?

good. I fucking hate indie movies and my food is always cold because there aren't enough wagies to fully man a shift.

What American filmmaker who is still alive do you actually respect? I can come up with two: Vincent Gallo and Harmony Korine.

Jesus fuck, this actually sounds like an unironic post. No wonder Anon Babble is a laughing stock.

I don't see my local east asian buffet going out of business anytime soon you fucking Anon Babbletard

The savior of American film. Trump needs to contact this nigger asap!

respecting Harmony Korine on 2025

Kek lol, lmao even
Won't stop American filmmakers from producing their own orientalist griftflicks.

It is unironic you little shit.

I bet you work the fryer at McDonalds mister squidward

This looks like your average waitress at Joe's Crab Shack

signs you are watching ANTI orientalist grift

looks metrosexual in that pic

What American filmmaker who is still alive do you actually respect?

Plenty, but the intellectuals here get super triggered at the very mention of some names, so better to avoid more flame wars

A good Sam Fuller korean war drama.

"They" can talk shit about us burgers as much as they want but who do they have? Mike Leigh? Wow, nice.

Plenty

Name three, and don’t end your reply with the list goes on. We all know it doesn’t.

Gallosisters...

Sam Fuller

Proto-woke director, fuck this guy

Sexent Gallo is so hootttt!!! Oh myyyy gawwwd!

Malick, Korine, PTA, Lynch (not dead)
Eat shit. How many auteurs they got in favelatown?

Lee, Peele & Coogler

PTA

Really nigga!?!?!

He was still a based filmmaker.

Malick

based

Korine

Schizo, but made some interesting things

PTA

Good, but thinks too highly of himself

Undead Lynch

Based

Best narrative filmmaker of his era and the most underappreciated humorist of his era. PTA is a king. You sad I didn't mention Spike? Tough shit.

Already happened

Trump is the most important person of my, yours and our parents lifetime. No one else comes close.

Based anti orientalist grift

Which is pretty cool, he's very entertaining.

Just talk your talk and let the bitches bark.

There are a ton of latin auteurs, starting with Aristarain, Gaviria and Jodorowsky to mention the obvious ones, but of course, you won't know about any of them. Watch some Zé do Caixão; it's based and it won't overload your brain with too many thoughts.

PTAs only Great movies are Inherent Vice and the Master, the rest are merely good but do not transcend

Fuck off lowly mongrel, I owe you nothing. Just play your FIFA and keep your mouth shut, you gain nothing from cinema.

Some fresh news for you.

Pointing out that you're based for going with Zé do Caixão instead of the anglicized form.

Here, right on cue, a bitch barking.

This is pretty good so far. Watching it on the SB YT arch now

Low, low, low.

Should TV shows stop pretending to be films?

Yes

I guarantee you Trump could not name a movie made before the 1950s

I disagree. Boogie Nights and TWBB are amazing.

I gain a piece of your soul every time you chimp out. #À meia-noite levarei sua alma

More snowrunners need the David Chase mentality of "fuck you this is my show" and then the quality would shine through
It's supposed to be the obsessive medium, to counteract films perfectionist nature

Shawty got low low low low low low low low

You've made me chimp out the same amount of times you've slept with a woman. Zilch. I've made you chimp out so I hard you gave me my very own nickname and I think we both know that is. You've even confessed to chimping out, I can fetch it from the archive in two seconds. You're fucking decrepit.

I wish you bet your life on it, discord tranny. And then livestreamed for guarantee.

Problem with TWBB is DDL is too much of a look at me I’m acting showboat where’s based Joaquin Phoenix is a real life autist.

Well, at least the thread is not dead anymore i guess.

stfu Craig, you're dumb as a rock. Even as a paid shill for the CIA you're amazing at fucking up all of the time.

I think he's great and Imma drink my milkshake.

Niggas are pickin fights with my Latino brethren

Livid.

And it all happened after the horse was posted...

Anon Babble could not name a movie made before the 1950s

Wake in Fright

There was a Pow&Press thread on the 'log.

A Streetcar Named Desire! BAAAM!!!! What now, bitch?

I Plowed & Matingpress'd your sister last night

This zoomlarping is disgusting, KYS

What?

I... can't!

I'd wager 66% of Anon Babble is Z gen, 33% is Millennial and 1% is X gen.

How old are you guys

strawpoll.com/GPgVYrwv3na

And I'd wager 90% of Anon Babble still haven't watched even 1k films. 99% are below 5k.

Based datamining anon. Just voted btw.

Should've just made it 18-29 and then 30+ to separate the real from the fake

18-29 is too broad. The brain fully completes at 25 that is why 18-25 is its own bracket

Thx for voting!

We went through this already, we're mostly in our thirties, some late 20s, one guy in his 50s. Anon Babble is millennial.

I'm 38. There's a certain petulance that you have in your 20s that is impossible to remove until you're 30 or are misfortune enough to lose everything
And I also basically don't have to acknowledge any zoomer perspective on cinema when that generation is obsessed with modernity and all the harm it's caused

Some zoomers can be based. I’ve seen it happen.

Then you've seen things I'll never see.

This was fucking great.

You don't don't sound very mature for 38.

We’re all very mature here

How about you say the title, none of us can read those cavemen scribbles.

And you don't sound very masculine, the way you're trying to shame someone on the internet.

It looks like it says POAHHK MR XAXAYWHX

Yo, where the fuck is Craig? CIA gonna be angry about this... slip on your part. Sad!

His favourite movie is Citizen Kane.

6.5/10, much to appreciate but it's a lot less impressive when you break its hermetic nature with a second watch

I can: it says Rodiik flaia shashdumnj

White....peepo.......BUH BUH BUH BUH BUH BUH BUH BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD! WE WUZ VAMPIRES! WE WUZ KAAAAAAAAAAANGZ! WE BUILT DA PYRAMIDSSSSSSSSSS!

A Spring for the Thirsty
(I know it because it's been in my watchlist for a while)

Yeah, epic, but I'm not playing this as a gotcha competition.
In one post you say silly traits like petulance are lost with maturity, and posit yourself as someone who has that experience. But then in the next post, you play an absurd generalization without batting an eye.

Taking off the mask, I see.

I'm sorry I'm not as well adjusted as you? What the fuck do you want me to say?

Is there any list for movies that have been published on the last 10/5/2 years that are valuable?
Not the usual boring obscure crap. Any decent movie.

Kinema jumpo

It was weird how in the episode when Don was on that weird drug (what was that by the way) when comes home to his apartment at the end, the police are there because of a robbery.
It seems like whenever you're high, real life events align with your high to freak you out. It used to happen to me when I smoked pot. It was very strange.

Off-topic, you know what to do.

We’re all maladjusted here.

My issue with Don was he had cool kid syndrome
Remember when Harry took him out for a night on the town in Manhattan and they saw The Stones and then basically ghosted him the next day at the office? Guys just a fag.

Tell you to kill yourself.

Already dropped the le zen act?

The fuck is this raiding shit for, C? Take the L and move on.

I don't know what you are talking about, psychotic freak.

He's just noided because people know who he is. Let him chimp on.

I just don't understand Mae West.

What do you mean anon

Like, I don't understand what the appeal is suppose to be. I don't get her "thing" or how she's supposed to be sexy. And, from what I've seen, other 30s sex symbols make sense to me.

Maybe you should come and see her sometimes

Different tastes, different world. And West was always a 'mature' kind of sex symbol, not the ingénue or the girl next door.

I could watch one more kino now and be sleepy in the morning omw to work
what do you guys say

I like older women just fine, and sexually forward women. So I'm not sure where or what the disconnect is.

Two more for kino's sake. Who cares for capitalism, dude.

Exactly why we need /classic/. I don't give a fuck about foreign or arthouse, these threads suck.

If you're directly benefiting off modernity, you're the problem, you're what needs to fuck off and I can assure you it's not the other way around
Obviously Pablo Sanchez is jazzed about the 2020s cause why the fuck wouldn't he be

Meds

Shit nigga, you're really fuming today. Didn't get the shillbucks?

If you can't quickly come up with something witty enough to make my post look like shit then this is all you can see
Cope will most likely follow, then you'll call me nigga and attempt to be snide

"I haaate the modern world so much grrrrrr"

as he typed on his computer to communicate online

xd!

See? The predictability of this board is honestly dull, that's what drives it away. Some brown kid who doesn't fit in will try to be snide to you, call you nigga and fail at attempting to make a wisecrack.
Then they'll try to do the effeminate shaming tactic cause it's the only other trick they have, like an old dog that needs to be put down.

That's Anon Babble intellectuals' might for you.

Tell us how you really feel, big C.

Like if you have nothing going for you whatsoever you'll just ascribe to the online black persona that everyone has because you're a conformist and you're not secure enough with yourself to have independent, sentient thought.
It's really no surprise that your ancestors were shining the shoes and cleaning the toilets of mine. You're like animals.

Are all 38 year-olds this cuckoo?

All it took to destroy your mind was a based beaner and a zen act. Sad!

Brownsisters...we won?

This is all you can do, you'll just attach yourself to delusion like that crackhead sticking to the wall from the straight drop video. It's all you've got. If you people were anymore contemptible somebody would have done you all a favor and killed you already but since that unfortunately isn't happening, we're subjected to you.

Endless schizobabble...

Is there any director that is currently doing for film what Ye West is doing for music? Meaning defiant yet completely sincere good work?
Closest I can think in terms of defiance is Polanski, but The Palace wasn't particularly personal or sincere, nor good sadly. Coppola's Megalopolis has the sincerity and some technical risk taking, but not really the bite that Ye's music has. Sono is cancelled, Kechiche is cancelled, Zahler had his producer pussy out.
I guess it really is up to Von Trier to save cinema.

I'm like a spiritual version of James Brown from '63, just fucking dancing on your brown skulls, doing splits on your ancestors. Papa's got a brand new bag.

You fucking SPICS.

MOOOOOOM the hecking spics are targeting me again!!!

Shiet, surprised you listen to the fucking sex machine himself. Guess you glowies can have good taste in music. Thread theme youtube.com/watch?v=JOD-M7WZkZQ

Exactly, you're STUNNED that someone would listen to such an obscure unknown artist such as JB
Cause it's all for you right? Everything in this world is specifically catered to a shoe shine boy like you, like Damien, it's all for you

Pic rel fits your description to a T.

Amateur shit my man, you're gonna have to try harder. I rec that you go on Anon Babble as is usual for you and create another American History X thread / shill page; there you can thrive.

Yeah man I'm just gonna keep acting snide cause I can't articulate myself well enough in English
Cause I'm a stupid fucking wetback

Every board, you're like niggers moving into the suburbs. Value goes down, quality goes down, everyone gets driven away. Definition of a cancer.

geg

Feeling depressed, lonely, loveless and hopeless. Accepting life has no meaning left me without motivation to do anything to remotely improve my life. Instead, all I have is a need to grieve and sleep, dreaming with a better reality.
Anon Babble for these feels?

Gayniggers From Outer Space

Nigga, but you just accepted a few posts ago that you don't even care for arthouse shit, so what the fuck are you even doing in here. Just make your garbage ass /classic/ general and post those cringe ass pics of your bf Cagney and call it a day.

Do the Right Thing

For me it’s Kagney

this bitch dead

RIP. Sad! (but unironically)

Shotgun blast to the face btw.

I'm in the middle of a panic attack right now, this sucks so bad.

Oh no, how awful. Try to keep at knife at hand in these moments, they can be very helpful.

Why are you like this?

I just want to make the world a better place, anon.

He's an amateur narcissist trying to become a cold hearted psychopath. Just try and ignore him if you can; experienced mfs can clown him like it was done in this thread (or the Sharty, too).

I'll have you know I am an experienced mf. That's right, m'lady.

Chimpout anon here- I’m still zen. Think people are somehow confusing me with someone else here. Still not engaging with 99% of the posts, and when I do it’s not negative. Seen a lot of posts here lately that I would have replied to in the past, just don’t have it in me anymore.
Carry on.

I'm in the middle of a gay attack right now, this sucks so bad.

Congrats if true. Wish everybody did the same

It’s true. Didn’t comment during the card game bullshit, which would’ve made me lose my mind in the past. Just scrolled past it, didn’t even report it.

FUCK OFF RETARDED FAGGOT, DIE HOMOLOVER

Yo, I know it's a sensitive subject, but it's 2025. Be brave!

I love all my niggas! I ride my niggas!

Oopsy daisy. I meant to say “I ride 4 my niggaz!”

What a masterpiece of a thread! What a time to be alive!

I manage to calm down finally a couple of hours later and then i get an email from youtube saying they've permanently suspended my account for an insane reason, fuck this day. I'll try to sleep now, but thanks a lot anon , love you too.

Sad!

and then i get an email from youtube saying they've permanently suspended my account

lol

Real as fuck.

I love Sarah Gadon

Based, she's beautiful

I got a 3-day vacation for posting a (tasteful, artistic) picture of a nude broad a few threads ago, even though there were multiple NSFW pictures on that thread and the one following it, all completely unscathed. I can't even blame the jannies, I bet someone with a vendetta (against the female body or its appreciators) reported it.

Hysterical video.
