The original US BD of Secretary (2002) has the old magenta mastering problem, but I can't find the superior FR Metropolitan BD for sale. There was an Australian BD released by Imprint last year but it's not on caps-a-holic yet. Anyone have a copy they're able to assay, or able to point me in the right direction toward some info? Been looking around for a while. It's kind of nuts there's still no easily-navigable website that lists the best release of a film in cases where the difference is more objective than not.

If citizen Kane was made today I am convinced this scene would be memed to death on TikTok and zoomers would be bringing pidgins in the theaters and shit
That's a cockatoo
I don’t think zoomers would be able to tell the difference
this is a latino general
I’m cool with that
The real question is, where in the fuck are the latinas?
Nah moite, THIS is a latino general
culpepper cattle company was nihilist trash about a weedy little geek. watching broken arrow right after it was a revelation. i am cutting revisionist slop out of my life ASAP and sticking with uplifting, intelligent classic westerns with a strong moral message
QOD
I almost always do though, the only times i don't is when i really do not have an answer.
Should i grow my mustache and chin beard back? I think i look manlier but my mom says i look worse.
Indeed it is, indeed it is.

I make my latina gf watch art films. She dislikes 90% of it
I got scared this is his obit. Hasn't worked in 5 yrs
Have you shown her the Wild Bunch yet? That might turn her around.
still the sexiest rapist on film
I probably would, too. Show her Betty la fea
I read the trilogy was made on nothing. Kobayashi wasn't a big name they really had to scrounge together. Hating wars got it made

Picked up some more chocolate time to get comfy
I have no chocolate, i am sad.
I tried growing that once. The girl I was seeing at the time told me to shave it off lol
Not in exhibition it hasn't. When I sit front-row at the local Odeon I see pixels separated by a grid of faint black lines inbetween. Film is a continuous array of light entering the eye in the same way as if you were seeing something actually in front of you. Grain still puts a cap on what visual acuity is possible, but when I watch digital presentations I'm acutely aware I am watching an image on a screen, whereas with celluloid this awareness more easily fades.
Has she tried Carax yet e.g. Mauvais Sang? If she likes romance she may get something out of the French stuff. If she likes light fluff over intensity or intellectualism something like Midnight In Paris could be a viable option.
They don't understand the things I say on Twitter
Okay Imogen Sara Smith
Have you watched Salo yet?
Women can't handle the conquistador look.
Go get some dawg, the hot chocolate and Anon Babble vibes today are bliss
nigga is off tilting at windows, the last opost i made was;
Yakuza film about the life of a crime boss, starring the Yakuza boss playing himself
anyone seen this? is it kino?
Tfw no Carax enjoying girlfriend.
I want to be the Denis Lavant to a cutie's Binoche.
Lmao I’m a Chinese nigga, she was Korean. I don’t think conquistador was on her mind.
nta, but I unironically watched Salo with my latina gf and she liked it
Nigga thinks old west society was morally good
I am ten minutes into The Fire Within and it feels dishonest.
Keep it short and trimmed and it's a solid look. Let it grow out and it's disgusting.
It's that simple
no i just prefer fantasy to sordid reality
i hate this jewish gringo cocksucker faggot like you wouldnt believe it
peronist spic
Bitches don't be caring 'bout that. I've pulled off the junkie look so many times.
t. never drank
Even the nationalist junta members hated him lol
That’s true. I’m not a drinker but this film is just a normal dude living his best life. The fuck is this
May i suggest this alternative
I only watch historically accurate westerns
Chinese
Just as kino.
Has she tried Carax yet
No but neither have I. We're going through FNW first, could go for Carax next
Yes, alone. Awful film
Sure. I’m not gonna finish Malle film anyway. Not even 20 minutes in and nothing interesting has happened
The fumanchu shit is such a wild look to rock in 2025. I kinda wanna do it now
Based, him and Kissinger are getting raped by the devil together right now.
Unironically filtered, but go on
I am literally watching him fold a towel right now. What a waste of film
Do it. And i shall grow my conquistador mustache and chin beard, let's bring it all back.
please just kill yourself, dingo
The 'Chet was the only dictator from LATAM that kept it real with the brutality... They can hate him, but only him had the balls to give Pol Pot a run for his money
mickey rooney had a trashy reality show towards the end of his life where his wife just elder abuses on camera
If you need to be a alcohol/drug to enjoy a film that is not a good film.
Worst classics western of all time > Louis Malle
So filtered, but go on. Nigga wants some explosions and moral tales or some, I guess. Hint: the flick is about a dude who suffers
Okay. The US Carlotta BDs are the better release for Boy Meets Girl and Mauvais Sang (and have a better translation imo than the euro BDs of same), Kino Lorber release for Les Amants, watch "Pierre or the Ambiguities" the Anon Babble-subtitled uncut version of his masterpiece fourth work and not the abridged theatrical cut version "Pola X" which reads like a contractual obligation and is broadly agreed to be inferior, after that one the difference between releases is minor
a alcohol/drug user*
Did it make her horny?
Next time I'll be a shroom, understood
Where is the suffering he is living his best life and has a hot gf fuck off
Watch Pretty Baby instead.
Are you talking the projection prints/film? So if a movie was shot on film, and then projected digitally, wouldn’t it do the same as what you’re describing?
Yeah, living life to the max. Blackpillmaxxing chads unite.
Will do. Gonna shut this shit film off in a few minutes
Baby i wanna be the heroin coursin through your veins, shoot me up inside you.
Shrooms > acid > weed >>>> molly
does a digital projection automatically fill in the information inbetween the pixels if the source was shot on celluloid
...No, anon, that isn't how technology works.
that guy isn't me you obsessed retard. the fire within is something i wouldn't even try to watch
I need drugs
Agree. I got so thoroughly sick of all these burgeois first world problems shit by Antonioni, Rohmer, Bergman etc, I think they did irreparable damage to art cinema permanently
i wouldn't be half the cinemagoer i am today without opiates
You’re doing such a shitty job of describing what you’re talking about I’m having trouble following.
In that case, then you haven’t seen what current software is capable of and don’t know what you’re talking about. You can also print out a digitally shit film onto celluloid and project that as well (still avoiding shooting on film during production)
It did. France loos beautiful, the guy has a girl, a job, a social life. What the fuck is the problem?
Based
burgeois first world problems
So if you're not living in poverty in a third world shithole you can't complain about life? Shit opinion
His mental state. The interior, not the exterior.
No. The Malle is just out of touch because he never really truly suffered a day in his life
yes
Thank you anon, I'll check those versions out

Wahhh mommy I’m so depressed. Everything hurts on the inside even though I live in a first world country with a good job and girl who loves me WAHH WAHHH MOMMY MAKE IT STOP
AGHHHHH MOMMY CALL THE FBI RIGHT FUCKING NOWWWW
Facebook/twitter take.
Not only that, these niggas don't even understand addiction, alienation, failure, relationship troubles and depression, which the dude from Le feu was going through. Very miopic, unaware takes in this thread
Kek Im the original anon who started spamming this style of posting back in the day, AMA
third world shithole
Second word like Russia and Poland is acceptable too
Dumontfag?
Didn't even watch the joint
Again why should I care about this privileged faggots mental health over the billions of people who have it way worse than him
muh privilege
Fuck off retard
FUCK YOU TUCK YOU FOREVER RIGHT YOUR FUCKING ASS YOU FUCKING CUNT ASSHOLE I HATE YOU SO MUCH
You can’t answer the question and you know it
he literally sold his country to external people, stole a lot of money and introduced cheap drugs to the country, fucking them eternally
he was and always will be a cocksucker who coincidentally had an actual assumed faggot as one of his top guys
You don't understand depression.
Because you didn't even watch the flick and don't even know anything about the movie or the character. But you're too damn filtered to care, just skip it
I am depressed and I live 10x worse than him so again why should I care about this privileged faggot
Retards online just love memeing him because him gave it to le commies and funny helicopter hehe.
Spoil it for me. If it sounds reasonable I will continue with an open mind.
If you're depressed then you should understand that living in Paris and having a job and a gf has nothing to do with his mental state.
The "right" here loves him too which is fucking ironic considering the right here is mostly german (or nazi) descent
You're not even an alcoholic lol, go get an alcohol addiction then come back. Rare case of being filtered by lacking a depressing circumstance in life. Or commonly filtered by lack of empathy and life experiences idk
Depression is a choice. I see happy people living in literal shantytowns in Africa and India.
Anyone?
This
No
lmao, you should actually hate the anon who kept trying to ignorantly argue that Emperor Tomato Ketchup was “child pornography”, he was the whole reason I started it
Then that should tell you that external factors aren't the issue, you're just proving me right.
On top of all this there is nothing formally interesting about this film. Flat shots. Flat lighting. Blah.
Okay. Clocked out 45 minutes in. Sorry Malle cucks.
I'm not disagreeing with you on the film btw, i saw it once when i was 15 and the only thing i remember is Gymnopedie being played to exhaustion. I'm disagreeing with your bullshit "first world problems" twitter point.
would she be classified as an arthoe?
I bet it's just Dumontfag baiting with Le feu follet. If this nigga is serious about le "depression is a le choice" live love laugh tier shit, them there is nothing to do with him. And anyway, the dude from Le feu was depressed from failures in life and alcoholism, but I guess that is also a le choice
Feu Follet Gymnopedie son

sounds to me like he only hurt spics, so who cares
She would be classified as Anon Babble's wife.

You've never gone through struggle, everything you say is just larp or straight up pulling shit out your ass. You wouldn't do anything heroic in his place. You need some humbling, boy: you're not special.
dingo i fucking hate you and i hope you die
I need to watch a classic western to cleanse the pallete
I wonder what Nanako would think of the fire within
well, latinbros, i finally restored Macario (1960) with pretty good results. Where the fuck i can upload it
Great thread so far

you have limit or something? what if i upload it to archive.org?
There's a limit, ask anons. Dunno 'bout archive.org
No make it a /philm/ exclusive we can be our own karagara
I think the real one left a while ago and then another poster took up the same gimmick. The OG Lil Hitler was really vicious, this new guy is just a pathetic wannabe
Soulseek
/fast/
Deus e O Diabo na Terra do Sol
Yeah, I think OG Hitler was a legit embittered nazi, this new guy is just like a regular Anon Babble pleb but more racist. He's also kinda tongue in cheek
I usually ignored og lil hitler but what made him so vicious compared to your average poltard ?
Why the thread so slow
He was not "vicious" imo, just persistent and extremely racist, with a touch of the usual "I'm le victim!" nazi shit when people called him out on his faggotry. He didn't give up easily, that's all, and he was legitimately angry; a true seether
Personally I’d take him over Dingo
Don't fuck with me. I just rated a foreign arthouse film half a star. I SAID DON'T FUCK WITH ME.
i bet you would you swedish lesbian loving spic
He felt genuinely hateful and mentally unstable
You're so annoying lol. Weakest ragebaits in da game
Just annoying, not vicious.
because i'm not ragebaiting, i'm just making my opinions known like a sassy black woman would
I'm glad to inform you all that i just had some hot chocolate.
I have a soft spot for Dingo because we love some of the same westerns, plus he seems to have stopped with the lensing bullshit.
it's pretty obvious that none of you care or understand about cinematography so i will instead just keep it to myself
Sounds comfy
total montage or oner shot?
It's a shame that Tatsuya Nakadai isn't as much of an international star as Toshiro Mifune even though Nakadai has just as many prestigious and amazing roles as Mifune did.
Also, is it just me, or does his soulful gaze make him look like the Japanese version of Peter Lorre?
Tatsuya looked way better with some facial hair.
Agreed.
remember when this retard said the cinematographer was the person who really directs
Yes. Both very much so. Judex too.
Nothing wrong with pre-20's film. Tih Minh is just an unusually dull movie.
i said the cinematographer was primarily responsible for the visual style and presentation of the movie and that's true and i'm not retarded
The rhythmic power of montage
Why do you pick fights with the only person kind of sort of on your side
Yes. Both very much so. Judex too.
that's disappointing to hear. I was looking forward to it after loving Fantomas and Les Vampires. I'll still watch it one day. still need to watch Judex too
how the fuck is that picking a fight
officially made it through 20% of the countries listed on letterboxd. getting close to running out of shorts, so my progress will slow considerably soon

Yes.

I started Valley of the Bees simply because it was the film in the queue that was right next to The Fire Within.
Holy smokes. 5 minutes in to Valley of the Bees and it is already a much stronger film than Fire Within. The film has already established such a psychic presence. I will be turning off my devices and will give this my full attention. I am very excited for this.
thank you
what Anon Babble should I read if I liked Valley of the bees?
valley of the dolls

Always a great suggestion.

Go get some pussy, dummy
This was a real downer.
shut up
If one were to look for an underlying sociopolitical theme to the tale of Il Grido, beyond the level of personal interaction, one might claim there is a suggestion in the film that postwar modernism was progressively removing conventional modes of authentic interaction for working class people, and thereby was disempowering them, and thus for men in particular, was emasculating them.
Throughout the film there are images of the bleak and barren Po River landscape that has little of green nature – mostly we see images of inhuman mechanical operation, such as the refinery tower, speedboats, the gas station, trucks, motorbikes, and the like. Aldo, the mechanic, has become used to dealing with inanimate, mechanically-driven devices, but what is lacking and what he needs is personal, human interaction, and he doesn’t know how to achieve this. Stuck in this quandary, Aldo’s personal evolution is progressively towards stupefaction, inaction, immobility. At one point he mentions to Virginia that he fundamentally lacks “willingness” – he is powerless. His only real assertive actions are pointless and self-destructive physical beatings of his women and his child Rosina.
When he said that I was impressed, because it looked quite good on the trailer.
if it's shot on modern film stock then what's the point
Stop being so sensitive, pussy.
i'm not being sensitive i'm just telling you to shut up
Y'all fucking with that new Jojo Siwa?
