They had my exact feelings on the marvel and SW stuff that came out in 2021
The continuity and audio syncing error in Mainstream that Jay is baffled by at 22:00 is a reference to the Godard movie Breathless, where Belmondo wears the same fedora/jacket, smokes, and speaks in the same fashion as Garfield in the scene. Even as a brain-dead film school reference-for-the-sake-of-reference its still incredibly stupid: Breathless is known for its jump cuts, where Godard edits out the "connective" shots to indicate passage of time and give the scenes a frenetic energy in the edit. What Godard didn't do in the film is show the same action from two angles. It's a failure to understand what a jump cut even is. The director knows it is a Film Thing that people talk about but seems to have never edited. Breathless is also known for being shot without sound in many scenes with the audio dubbed in later by the actors (mostly due to the noisy camera), leading to funky syncing. The filmmaker here is trying to approximate this but seems to be using live audio from another take, or the same take with it unsynced. Either she didn't know why the audio in Breathless didn't match up or she failed to make the sound sufficiently ADR-sounding to sell the difference as a allusion and not just a mistake. It's no different than "REMEMBER YODAAAA?" but aimed at connoisseurs of fine filmé. You know like Andrew Garfield. Just a guess, but I'd almost say it's the kind of half-baked reference you would jam in a movie if you were very concerned that film buffs weren't going to accept you as a serious director like, say, your sister or your dad.

The car-impregnation is just a cheap gimmick to get people to talk about it and maybe an excuse for some makeup and practical effects, nothing more. And Jay fell for it. The murder scenes, especially the one that goes wrong, were pretty entertaining, though. If that had been the movie, I'd have loved it, car-fucking or not.

I like Wes Anderson movies, and there were parts I enjoyed, but it did seem like a parody in some places. All the things that people hate about his movies started to grate in parts.
The actor in Old is Gael Garcia Bernal; he is a very famous actor in Mexico. He also does English roles.
Whenever I saw trailers for that Ghosts show, I said to myself, "Wow, this looks like it could be a great premise for a sitcom, but the execution looks absolutely terrible." Now it all makes sense.

Watched The Night House on your recommendation (it's on Disney+ Aus), but didn't feel the same way about not knowing what you're supposed to be scared about till the end. I was totally emotionally invested, the pacing was just what I like in a mystery. I especially really loved how they depicted the "monster". The visual design in the last act with the silhouettes was so creative and honestly terrifying. Thanks RLM for introducing me to films I literally would've never heard of.

I loved the French Dispatch. it's great, and it's all pulled together in the final act with the Lt. chef describing how, after eating a poisoned dish, he's never eaten something so distinct and unique glad he's eaten something new in his old age. it's a beautifully bittersweet movie about how artists and visionaries will sabotage themselves and suffer for their art. but what the foreign, the suffering, the oppressed, the lonely, the revolutionary, should all remember. is there will always be a table somewhere in the world for them to eat.

Seriously, that movie absolutely baffled me.. somehow it felt like watching an 8-10 episode miniseries all compressed into a 2hr movie... and it STILL worked somehow! Have to disagree with Jay, though. It's not too long. If anything it would had to be 2 times 2hrs. Loved the cinematography, sound editing. Actors were good, too.
