Naïve Old Fart 9,698 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 @Disco Stu THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS is brilliant (as is THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN, and VICTIM). It's just a shame that it was butchered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a shame that it was butchered. I saw it a long, long time ago. But a couple of years ago I read the equally brilliant novel it's based on so it'll be interesting to watch it now with that context. Also, I mean, a new Criterion restoration? Yes please!

Naïve Old Fart 9,698 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Because it would be called THE COMPETENTLY-MADE, OSCAR BAIT, YET PERFUNCTORY, AND UTTERLY REDUNDANT AMBERSONS. That's why. Sometimes half a film made by someone, is much better than a whole one, made by someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,364 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I see. I thought it was because there's no interest in that movie, unless The Magnificant Ambersons are a bunch of superheroes, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INTOLERABLE CRUELTY, is pretty much what it says on the packet, and THE LADYKILLERS is terrible. Every director has one or two terribly misjudged films and everyone who watches them is so much influenced by these misjudgements that he thinks the film is actually that good/bad. By mentioning Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers you just confirm your overreliance on the general appraisal of these movies. But I can tell you that especially The Ladykillers and Miller's Crossing are two extreme examples of an immoderate misjudgement by the broad audience and most "critics". 3 hours ago, Alexcremers said: What Coen brothers movies do you want me to watch? Barton Fink Fargo The Big Lebowski No Country for Old Man Burn After Reading A Serious Man True Grit Inside Llewyn Davis These are the best.

I form my opinions from watching the films, and not running with the herd. I like a lot of films that are hated by critics, and ignored by the public. At least one of these films, is my 5th favourite film of all time. I usually pay no attention to critics, but, in the case of INTOLERABLE CRUELTY, and THE LADYKILLERS, they are right: they suck dick.

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 No, they're like The Simpsons: Stupid at first glance, but filled with a lot of clever commentary and humor. However, by no means among their best films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I love The Ladykillers. Don’t know why everyone hates it. It’s their only film that still has no blu-ray release and it makes me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
