His worst film
Prove me wrong
His worst film
I totally agree, though I haven't watched his pre- The Killing films
fuck henpecked men
/thread
Full Metal Jacket
What's the point of a lolita adaptation when the actress is obviously over age?
i get you. why couldn't it be like that Orphan movie where they still cast a child even though it's supposed to be an adult
Agreed. Lolita can't be adapted properly, beautiful book but it doesn't make for a good movie
it is possible to make a movie out of this, but it probably can't be american-made.
henry cavill or similar as humbert, a precocious age-accurate dolores, and don't skip the pre-story
Ok I'm going to shit on all yall.
Dr. Strangelove.
Its got good commentary on nuclear warfare and megalomania out of control BUT admit it: Its a comedy but you didn't laugh out loud once.
How can it be his worst when Fear and Desire exists?
also Lolita is his best film
She was 14.
14 pushing 40.
no one really counts his low budget releases
Fear and Desire
First 15 minutes are best kino ever and also reveal rich people to be horrible pedos who love snuff shows. Pretty good I'd say.
Satire does not always contain pratfalls, dick jokes and pies in the face.
crazy. it's full of laugh out loud moments and they still hold up 50 years on
>pratfalls, dick jokes and pies in the face
But dr Strangelove did have all the jokes of the same caliber
good satire does. do you even know what the word means?
saw a screening of dr stangelove once. You're right no one laughed the entire film. Don't think that makes it a bad movie though. also the little bible makes me chuckle.
Lolita is still his best though
did you read the novel prior to watching?
I'm a very slow reader, so no. I haven't read the book. I haven't read very many books since high school
How can anybody be a slow reader in current year? All people do all fucking day is read on their telephones. You read, you get better at it, that's how it works.
it was comfy, i liked it for than his early movies and (maybe) Spartacus
dumb phoneposter
>it was comfy
This. It's literally his comfiest movie, except for maybe Barry Lyndon
Better than the awful book though.
based
his best comedy!
good thread
