Fight club
As a kid who grew up playing, living, and breathing tennis, I can confirm King Richard’s attention to detail and portrayal of the tennis world was super satisfying and made it a fun watch. My wife who has never played would agree that it was nice but a lil boring
Karsten, i have watched you for last two years,and finally i have ranked you 1/5
Glad there’s a “Don’t Look Up” video coming!! I was trying to explain to a friend why I didn’t really connect with the film, even though I agree wholeheartedly with the message, and she told me I was missing the film’s nuance. I didn’t even know how to respond
its just these type people who will hype up anything thats on netflix but then never go back and watch it again when the hype is dead. genuinely think if this movie just was made on any other platform or just released in theaters no one would really care
I would not say that movie has “nuance” it’s very on the nose and it’s supposed to be. I went into the movie expecting a comedy and that’s what I got :)
I loved this movie, but I can see why some won't like it. It is not a cinematic masterpiece, but it is a great fun with some good acting.
@@Outliers4Life it’s not just netflix, it’s also the cast. people hyped this movie bc it had meryl streep, jennifer lawrence, leo dicaprio, jonah hill, timothee…. but without the cast.. it wouldn’t make noise. it’s so freaking flat. netflix spent so much on the cast and literally zero thought went into the actual movie
Same, it missed the mark on every part except acting, for me (music, scenario, cinematography, editing, humour etc) and it seems very rushed. I was disappointed the same way with Bird Box minus the acting part lol
I honestly thought Get Back is near to revolutionary, not only in the Beatles history and in the music documentary space, but also in the way we perceive bands, the creative process, and musicians' lives and rumors created by news and fans. It was so raw and intimate, it almost felt like it was transporting me there. Besides its a monumental achievement the image and sound processing done by Peter Jackson and his team! I loved it! Also loved this video Karsten, may this year in cinema be great!!
When Harry Met Sally is just adorable. Reiner knocked it out of the park.
I had to pause the charades scene because I was laughing so hard I couldn’t hear the dialogue.
Billy Crystal at his best. Not a huge Meg Ryan fan, but she was great in this. And of course Carrie Fisher as part of the best friend couple….chef’s kiss.
Princess Mononoke is the best! There are so many great things id love a whole video on it
Second this👍
yessss would love to hear more of Karsten’s thoughts on it
You should watch the kid detective! One of the most looked over movies of last year, a very very fun murder mystery
Last last year
The title sounds like a really bad nineties kid mystery flick. But looking at the cover of it, it looks pretty good. I might watch it.
@@glendarjj3991 that’s the point
He should also watch Limbo
it was a blast i agree
Very glad you enjoyed Princess Mononoke! It's one of my favorite movies of all time and I recommend you try to get your hands on the artbook they made for the movie
I’m so happy to see Princess Mononoke get the appreciation it deserves, it was the first ghibli movie I watched and remains to be my favorite
Its never a what i watched this month video without "Then I rewatched another round!"
You are a great content creator. What films do you think are essential and what directors are the most influential? Love your content.
He loves wes Anderson
He loves Paul Thomas Anderson
@@glendarjj3991 He's neither essential nor influential, though.
John Ford and John Ford
seven samurai and spirited away are essential movies, hitchcock and tarkovsky are the most essential and influential directors
Thank you for this upload! I was very upset from personal family stuff but seeing a collection of fun musings over random movies was just the comfort I needed
Love the way you talk about all the movies in a short time. You're amazing! Agree with you about Matrix Resurrections.
Ive become obsessed with watching your 'this month' videos...and i hate it...because i find myself adding far more movies to my watchlists than i have time for.
Keep em coming!
take a shot every time karsten says “lads”
Finally, someone who also gets Princess Mononoke is a 5/5
Wait, people don't? Not only,is it great, it's one of the few Think I movies I've seen more than once (I mean, they're all great, but something keeps me,from rewatching them)
Tbh I really liked dont look up, I thought it did everything it set out to do and it’s commentary was pretty salient. However, I will say some of it was pretty heavy handed and the star studded cast was pretty jarring and honestly took me out of it a bit.
if you want 'dont look up' without the barrage of celebrities watch 'seeking a friend for the end of the world'. its about a decade old, but one of my favourite movies of all time, and it gets it's message across in a much subtler way
@@amydunnediditnow Love this one :) underrated in my opinion
looking forward to the don't look up video!! also princess mononoke is my favourite ghibli too and the soundtrack (especially 'legend of ashitaka') is a masterpiece
can't wait for a whole new year of these vids
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Don’t Look Up. I can already tell we’ll disagree… heavily… but that is actually what makes me so excited to hear what you took home from that film.
Same here.
YES i loved rewatching power of the dog so much omg!
THANK YOU FOR DONT LOOK UP, I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY FOR NOT LIKING IT.. LOVE U FOR THIS
been waiting for this
One movie that I've been thinking about a lot for the past 3 weeks was 'Gummo'.
I can't describe the feelings i got when watching it but i feel like it's going have an influence in my filmmaking career.
You convinced me to go see Matrix: Resurrections in theaters with this video.
me too lol
Definitely go! I loved it
I hated it but surprising amount of people which opinions i respect really loved it. Can't wait to hear it discussed on Sardonicast, I know they'll hate it :D
If only he didn't skip The Animatrix though....
Loved it. Do NOT expect to see anything like M1-3, but be open to an emotional story with themes about the illusion of binaries and how they use them against us as a method of control. There are some technical and pacing issues, but the themes are just beautiful.
I’m still split on Matrix 4…not because of all the negative reactions cause I actually had fun with it. And I do appreciate some of the messages. But I can’t get over certain things - in particular something to do with flying😅 - however, if this is the last Matrix movie we get I’m not mad about it.
oh boy, that won't be the last matrix movie we'll get
SPOILERS:
You didn't like that Neo couldn't fly?
Princess Mononoke is my favorite Miyazaki as well! So glad you enjoyed it!
Your videos are the best form of asmr
It would be nice if there was a list of the movies in the description. I always come back to these videos when I am looking for something to watch and I don't quite remember the name of one of the movies Karsten mentioned.
if you think keanu is good in the matrix, you absolutely HAVE to see him star alongside river phoenix in my own private idaho. i’d argue that performance, and movie, is better, which is saying a lot.
It’s sucks that people are going to ignore “Drive My Car” because of its runtime, but I was moved to tears from it and I’m dying to see it again
on a whim I watched Asakusa Kid after seeing it pop up on my netflix notifications. I didn't expect anything going in, all I knew was its about this famous comedian in Japan but I was surprised. I'd recommend checking it out.
Bookending the month with get back and summer of soul. What a great double feature
When Harry Met Sally will always be my all-time favorite comfort movie & rom-con!
my december favorites:
1. c'mon c'mon
2. phantom thread ( rewatch. this movie is the greatest )
3. the shape of water
4. the lost daughter
5. marriage story ( rewatch. cuss yeah )
Karsten I’m totally with on the matrix resurrections. It’s nowhere near the first two movies but I liked it for what it was. Definitely liked it more than revolutions(even tho I also liked that movie too) but yea don’t listen to the haters man!
I watched When Harry met Sally and the lost daughter too! When Harry met Sally is a new years movie imo so I like to watch it round that time of the year and it is sweet and Sally does deserve better. The Lost Daughter, I was blinded by how much I love Olivia Colman and Dakota Johnson
Princess Mononoke is my favorite animated movie ever (and also probably my favorite movie overall), what a perfect piece of cinema.
Gonna probably watch Matrix Resurrections next week, some reviewers I trust said it's a great movie, albeit not what you would expect from a Matrix movie.
Karsten will always be down for another round of Another Round
After I watch any movie, I’m always wondering what your opinion is because your opinion might be one of the most different and interesting out there and I love that about this channel. You need to make some movies!
I watched The Matrix for the first time this month and it was absolutely badass
Wow same
Couldn't disagree more about "Network" 🙁 It's an amazing film!
The GOAT trailer will forever be the one for the Social Network with the choral verson of Creep. Still gives me chills.
Princess Mononoke is a Top 5 films of all time for me - it's awesome that you finally got to watch it!
“Timmy is funny and should do more of that” I’ve never agreed with something more
“paul mescal looks amazing” EXACTLY
Glad you liked Resurrections, you call out the same points I love about it.
You gotta watch Night Moves (1975), the one with Gene Hackman. It's got those Long Goodbye vibes that you love, very quirky offbeat noir with a pretty groovy laid back 70's feeling.
what i watched in december (though it’s not a lot because i was busy with school):
pig (dir. michael sarnoski): 4/5
the power of the dog (dir. jane campion): 4.5/5
another round (dir. thomas vinterberg): 3/5
spencer (dir. pablo larrain): 4.5/5
AYO? LMAO he put my playlist on there! thanks
I loved licorice pizza definitely worth a rewatch in the future for me some funny parts but Punk Drunk Love is definitely my fave PTA film. Don’t look up was fun/funny to watch it was good but not great but not bad. There’s serval things to be said about that movie so I’m very interested to see your Don’t Look Up video.
Ps i need to watch TITANE
ringo writing SICKOMODE was the sweetest thing ❤
I'm not really into like Romance movies. but I decided to watch Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Before Midnight and those were all very very good. Really surprised by how much I enjoyed them.
But if you liked Princess Mononoke, you should watch The Tale of Princess Kaguya
I have watched the Power of the Dog four times and I‘m reading the book at the moment. Yeah, I guess I really liked it.
man, i just watched an interview with one of the australian doctors on the rescue mission (the soccer team one) and boy oh boy...idk if i could watch the doco after watching the interview
I fully agree with what you had to say about Matrix Resurrections. Thanks for articulating it like that!
Would really love to see some stand-alone reviews of Scary of Sixty-First and The Lost Daughter. Really interested to hear your thoughts.
I got to watch Spider-Man No Way Home in December, and it was the best movie I could’ve watch to end off my year. And happy late new year Karsten!
Yesss that movie was fantastic!
@@meerkatjeans8892 Indeed! Couldn’t have been more happier to have seen that movie. I’m excited to see across the Spiderverse this October
Great video
Princess Mononoke is a gem.
I don't know if you're into series, specially old ones, but you should watch Space: 1999. It's an old series, very goofy sometimes, but it grows into you.
Highlight of my montthhhh
Glad at least someone else saw The Rescue. If you think Free Solo was crazy you ain't seen nothing yet. My favorite movie this year and hopefully another Oscar for Elisabeth Chai and Jimmy Chin.
I love Network been one of my favorite movies since I was a kid. Very nostalgic for me
The Power of the Dog is a sick movie
summer of soul is so awesome
as a dane it warms my heart that you gave Another Round 5/5
can't wait to see the don't look up video! thought it was a great movie and absolutely loved Timmy's role.
Love your opinions on the matrix movies. My order would go Original, then resurrections, then 2&3. Action got to be gratuitous and made the movies too long imo.
I kind of agree with you about Network but the Ned Beatty monologue is one of the best scenes of all time, the man owns the universe in that scene
Cinematic theaters does a Studio Ghibli fest every year so if there’s one near you they play Princess Mononoke each year.
Hey ik I'm hella late but I'm glad u watched the Rescue.
Hey, you should watch Howl's moving castle. it's not intense as Princess Mononoke, but it's a beautiful story and i really think you would like it
I loved House of Gucci, the fact that I had fun watching it despite its run time is a win to me, despite the parts where it kind of flops. I understand why some people wouldn't like it though.
Thank god someone else enjoyed the Matrix Resurrections like I did. Completely encapsulated my thoughts on the movie
Karsten needs to start putting a link to the songs he's using in the background. I'm missing out on these jazz songs
Karsten’s Letterboxd review of Don’t Look Up honestly upset me. I’m not gonna stop following him, I do usually like his reviews, but that information felt notable.
The Power of the Dog had me floored
I still feel Benedict Cumberbatches presence and it's been 2 days since I watched it
I can’t believe you’d never seen princess mononoke. Still not my fav Miyazaki but up there for sure
I think the last hour of network not going anywhere is a big point of the film. Despite everything that Howard does in the story, none of his actions save world, they actually just get him killed on television. I do think Max has an interesting arc though.
Yes network is an all time acting tour de force! One of the greatest films of all time not sure why karsten never really talks about acting only very briefly.
I feel like I watched nothing last year until December. Along with some first viewings, I also rewatched every Spiderman movie. I hadn't seen the originals since I was 8, and the rest since they first came out.
First, the new stuff. First was the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid, which was not good. It was far too short to do anything as good as the original.
Next was Free Guy. It was a very dumb movie, in a good way. I enjoyed it. Last was Encanto. It was a solid Disney movie, which is a lot better than the past several years of animated Disney movies.
Now for Spiderman. I have some thoughts on these.
First, Spiderman 1. I did not really care for it. I'm not sure what it was, but I really did not like Tobey in this movie. Willem Dafoe was great, but the rest wasn't for me I guess.
Next Spiderman 2. It was a lot better, but I just don't get the hype for it. I liked it, but people act like it's the best comic book movie ever, and I just don't get it. The middle drags way too hard for me.
Spiderman 3 is a mess, I love it. They absolutely ruin Eddie Brock/Venom, but beyond that, it's my personal favorite of the 3.
Amazing Spiderman was fine. I didn't really like the characterization of Peter, and the plot isn't great, but the movie was better than I remember it being.
Amazing Spiderman 2 has my favorite characterization of Spiderman. Andrew Garfield nails it. Too bad the rest is not great.
Homecoming was my favorite live action Spiderman. It probably does stuff a bit too different for Spiderman, but it's still really good.
Venom is much better when you watch it knowing what to expect. I hated it on first viewing but I had fun on rewatch.
Into the Spider Verse is one of my favorite movies of all time. I don't see any comic book movie topping it.
I don't get the hate Far From Home gets. It's definately the worst of the MCU trilogy, but I still think it's really good.
I probably should've listed it earlier, but Venom 2 (and obviously No Way Home) were first viewings. Venom 2 was... interesting. Early on, it's trying way too hard to be the first one. I think it figures it out by the end though.
I'll need to rewatch it, but I think No Way Home is my new favorite live action. I loved everything about this movie.
Lastly here is my personal ranking of them:
1. Spider Verse
2. No Way Home
3. Homecoming
4. Far From Home
5. Spiderman 3
6. Spiderman 2
7. Amazing Spiderman 2
8. Amazing Spiderman
9. Venom
10. Venom 2
11. Spiderman
Karsten, start you should start a Ken Russell deep dive. I wanna hear your take on his crazy films
My silly little list :
- Scooby-Doo : The Movie (9/10)
- Freud, secret passion (I loved the main actor's performance)
- West Side Story (2021) (silly acting, shallow character building, nice dancing)
- Knives out (very fun)
- Été 85
- Les Tuches 4 (a bit corny, I was kinda disapointed)
- No country for old men (perfection)
- God's own country (actual tears, it was so sweet)
- Dolor y gloria (I was expecting a lot more, it wasn't as life-changing as I thought it would be, mostly because of the aesthetic aspect that sometimes feels a bit rushed and cheap, still very moving, I cried)
- I'm thinking of ending things (who let this movie happen, it was so bad)
- Don't look up. (I loved it, everything about it was great, especially the actors)
You shoild checkout grave of the fireflies. Its by miyazaki's best friend isao takahata. Also tale of princess kaguya by him.
The first Matrix might be one of the best films ever made. I personally enjoy Reloaded and Revolutions equally, but for different reasons, probably give them both a 4/5, or a 3.5/5 if i was feeling really critical.
happy 2016 guys! I loved pixels!
I thought “Licorice Pizza” was fantastic, and I think a lot of people are missing the point when discussing a lot of the problematic aspects of it. For the age gap, I interpreted it as Gary being an unreliable narrator. The film is supposed to be through the lens of an immature 15 year old boy and I think Gary is often mistaking Alana’s friendship and need for companionship as a romantic relationship. All of the romantic/sexual gestures Alana makes towards him felt more out of desperation than anything. This is also semi-confirmed as the movie is based on “true” stories that Gary Goetzman told PTA.
As for the anti-Asian bits, while a bit egregious, I think they were made to poke fun at the absurdity of white Americans trying to interact with minorities as well as the problematic nature of Asian women’s fetishization in the west.
Honestly one of my favorites from PTA! I see it as his “once upon a time in Hollywood”. Not his best, theres no real plot, and it kinda meanders the entire time, but the atmosphere, characters, and especially the performances are all so damn good that it could have been an hour longer and I wouldn’t have minded. I have a feeling I’m gonna go back to this one a lot. Also Alana Haim deserves all the awards. She was incredible, and Cooper Hoffman reminds me so much of his dad that I got choked up seeing him on screen.
Sorry for the long-winded response but I haven’t had many people to talk about this movie with, and it’s been stuck on my mind since I walked out of the theater. Keep doing you Karsten, you’ve put me on to so many great films over the years.
I agree with you. A question I’ve been asking recently is do movies have a responsibility to be moral or truthful? Because the truth is not always moral. The truth is that a 15 year old boy hooking up with a 25 year old woman is just something that happens on occasion. I know a guy who lost his virginity at 14 to a 30 year old friend of his mothers. Hugely problematic and illegal… and also something he considers awesome. That’s his personal perspective. And I think those types of stories are worth telling. They’re interesting.
I’m not saying it’s appropriate to put that sort of messaging in a kids movie. But since when did adult movies need to preach moral truth like they’re teaching a class room of delinquents how to function in society? I’m fine with moral lessons being woven into Marvel movies or romantic comedies aimed at teens. But people who think all art has a moral responsibility to show us how to live responsibly and that stories like this are problematic… I recommend you stay away from The Piano Teacher or The Night Porter or half the criterion collection. Because life is complex and art should reflect that without feeling the need to pass moral judgement on it’s subjects.
@@chrisianlewis this!! I think it’s really fascinating how moral panics have switched among newer generations. While former generations would freak out of any sight or allusion of nudity, sex, etc in art of the past, we seem to have adopted similar strategies to condone art that doesn’t fit our current societal framework of what we deem acceptable. I’ve seen tik toks going around urging people to not go see the movie, even one going as far to call anyone who watches it a pedophile.
The controversy surrounding this movie reminds me of the Prince song “Sister”, a track where prince tells the story of losing his virginity as a teenager to his 30something year old stepsister. Much like Licorice Pizza, Sister does not clearly promote or condone the behavior. It is simply just telling a true story from someone’s life.
I think there is a real argument to be made that if every piece of art has an obligation to promote what is deemed moral, that it could just lead to more confusion and repression about these real experiences that people go through. The same could be said for the blatantly racist scenes with the Japanese women. While this behavior is clearly not ok, racism is something that has always existed and still permeates American society today. If we omit any instances of racism in period pieces, is that not just whitewashing the past?
I think art that presents moral dilemmas and encourages the audience to come to their own conclusions and start a dialogue is highly important, and part of why I think Licorice Pizza was so effective for me personally.
You should watch Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigad, curious to hear your thoughts on it.
Hey Karsten gets to go biking tomorrow
Honestly devastated to find out that my one great film idea- reverse clue -was already done by Alfred Hitchcock. Even one of his weaker one is so daunting
damn the karststache is lookin mighty fine my man
What I watched this month:
Uncut Gems-5/5
Django (Original)-4.3/5
Clockwork Orange(rewatch)-5/5
Star Wars: ESB (rewatch)-4/5
The Incredibles(rewatch)-4.7/5
Shang-Chi: LOFTR-3.2/5
Spider-Man: No Way Home-5/5
Parasite-5/5
Judas & the black messiah-4.6/5
House of Gucci-4.1/5
Licorice Pizza-3/5
Boogie Nights-4.4/5
Hotel Rwanda (Rewatch)-4.2/5
Babel-3/5
Too bad you didn't like Don't Look Up, I adore everything McKay does so I know I'm biased but it's really my favorite film of the year.
Also I watched Licorice Pizza yesterday and what a stunning film man. The world just felt so warm and omg Bradley Cooper just nailed it
Karsten is too cool for Network
The way me and karsten are gonna fight when that don’t look up video drops 😔
Hey Karsten! Have you ever thought of a watching and reviewing Sofia Coppola’s movies? I’m curious what your opinions of her films are
Just saw Antz this month and it was worth it.
Okay, I'm gonna need a David Lynch ranked video. Let's make it happen!
karsten low-key going for the Zeffirelli look
Karsten you gotta widen your Ghibli scope beyond Miyazaki! It hurts to see that Whisper of the Heart and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya aren't even on your letterboxd watchlist :(
I just watched Don't Look Up last night and yeah not the best movie, very meh, but at the end I burst out in panicked tears and turned to my friend and said "oh my god we are all going to die" as I realized even tho we don't have a giant rock ready to crash into us, if we did, that's how it would turn out. Im stuck now in a depressive panic as I realize the world is beyond repair, everyone wants to kill each other and I'm most likely not going to live a very long life....
And you think the movie is meh if it had this effect on you?
I thought it was also very funny, very entertaining and had such a great vibe
Welcome welcome
@@jikesbadoodle3580 yeah. I have no idea why it caused that. I don't think most people are crying at the end of a comedy movie. It's more of just the topic that did it rather than the movie it's self :,D
@@knelldesparios53 well I can relate, it had the same effect on me, and that’s one reason I think it is so good.
We are all aware of the climat crisis, but get numb to the topic over time, this movie tried to convey a sense of urgency and finessed it like no other movie can do for me, maybe even stronger then a documentary about the actual topic
And honestly I found it also a hilarious movie, but I get if some people don’t like the comedic style, and the actors were all so great and in unusual roles and I’m also a big fan of every one of them escpecially DiCaprio and chalamet
So I loved it all, but that’s often not enough with a movie, but the power of conveying urgency they were able to achieve is really phenomenal
I honestly think it might win best picture this year and I’m fine with people not liking it, I sometimes just don’t get why
@@jikesbadoodle3580 I guess maybe it's because some of the comedy missed for me. I found the presidents son to be annoying more than anything and was thrown off as to why Ariana needed to be in it. But I watched Greta's doc about climate before it (very boring but very depressing) and realized, the government reaction in the real world is the same in this movie. They definitely got that right. I guess you're right. The movie did handle the topic actually well... just some cringy stuff got slightly in the way.
