The Cinematic Packrat

The Cinematic Packrat

I make videos about the Oscars and whatever movies I feel like. I also co-hosted a podcast, Blu-ray Boutique (formerly The Criterion Collectors), which discusses films released through boutique video labels like The Criterion Collection, Flicker Alley, Shout Factory, etc.

    I think Rathbone is probably my second favorite Holmes after Jeremy Brett. It's a pity that the writers felt it necessary to turn Watson into a buffoon in the films, but I understand why they felt the need. This really is a very entertaining adaptation of the book, even if it's not as close to the source material as I would like. Great review!

    Yes, it's sad that they leaned so much into comedy for Watson and that Bruce gets all the blame for it. This is my favorite Hound adaption I've seen so far. It certainly differs from the book, but it's close enough and captures the feel of the source material.

    I found this channel yesterday looking for "Skippy" 1931. I am really enjoying it. Looking again at Nosferatu I can't help wondering: why with all our technology and talent, is there nothing even close to this old film (or to Metropolis) today in the amazing quality of its images? Maybe the visual side of the brain has taken a back seat to other forms of creativity?

    You don't know what women of a certain age feel when they think no one wants them anymore. It makes me sad to see how so many women now who've been sold a bill of feminist goods that being a solo woman without any children are going to be feeling by 35 in the 2030'. But globalists don't seem to care about the happiness of average people these days.

    "The Verdict" is another great film about alcoholism. Perhaps the reason you didn't care for this movie is because they left out the subplot of Birnham's homosexuality.

    seeing this movie at 15 years old when i was on a family daytrip to austria changed my life, and until today it's still one of my most rewatched movies ever. the chemistry between ethan hawke and julie delpy is also pretty much my standard when it comes to onscreen chemistry, everything about this film and the other two that followed are just so special to me.

    That's very kind of you! We have no current plans to do one this year. They MIGHT return at some point, but these podcast episodes were a LOT of work to edit for what ended up being very little views. Plus, I got exhausted with editing them. I needed a break. But, no, it's not impossible they may return at some point.

  • @TheCinematicPackrat1
    @TheCinematicPackrat15 ай бұрын

    I would tease that you'll have to wait until I get to that point in my videos, but it'll be a LONG while until we catch up. 😆 Essentially, I thought there were some nice aspects to it like the film's look and the acting, but felt the constant cutting away to the bureaucrats debating whether to end the war was distracting from what we should've been focusing on. Also found the ending very contrived and too much like a movie, which an adaption of All Quiet should never feel like.

    I just rewatched Sunrise & Sunset while reading the screenplays as it played. I'm in my late 20s, and have been doing some reflecting around relationships and friendships myself. I've watched these movies so many times, but only now did I really feel that sense of yearning that Jesse & Celine feel for past relationships. It's pretty cool how you can dust off a new thing to see in these movies as time goes by. That meaninglessness they feel is an important marker of how there's more to life than maybe the way we're living it. Love your essay, it really captured that
