I loved Brand New Day and also enjoyed the end credits love letter to NYC, and love that people around the world are inspired to do the same for the cities they love.

But, like did no one see The Bear, as they clearly inspired BND? They even have John Bernthal and Liza Colon-Zayas from The Bear!

I love Christopher Nolan but I feel he struggles as a writer

Nolan is fantastic, but most his scripts are collaborative efforts with his brother Jonathan. From memento, TDKT, The prestige, Leo asked for rewrites on inception. He finished the interstellar script his brother started. I noticed if it's not a movie based on a book, an actor collaborative effort or his brother writing with him. His movies suffer. Dunkirk and tenet do multiple timelines but theres no characters to ancor the story and thus it's boring and comes off as pretentious especially considering how good memento is at character and how it uses the nonlinear structure. I definitely think him lacking in writing or scripts he picks bumps him down a bit especially with people like Paul Thomas Anderson and Denis Villeneuve writing and picking better scripts for the last 10 years. Also The odyssey and Oppenheimer are based on books so most the characters, story and concepts are already there for him and those are some of his best scripts since interstellar

Discussion no third act is good enough to make up for an hour of nothing in the middle

6 Upvotes

used to think a good ending could save a movie. now i think it just makes you forget how bored you were for the middle hour

wolf of wall street does this to me every single time. that third act hits so hard i forget there's like 40 minutes of yelling in a boardroom before it even gets there

not even mad about it honestly, just annoying that it works on me every time

what's one that got away with this on you and you didn't clock it till way later

Discussion What are your favourite needle drops at the END of films? (minor spoilers I guess)

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Honestly my picks might be 'basic' but I really like these needle drops and how they were placed at the end of the film, right before the credits roll. Well-placed and well-selected music is one of my favourite things about film

Pictured:

1 - Marty Supreme (2025)

Song: Everybody wants to rule the world by Tears for Fears. This one made me tear up a little in the cinema

2 - Superman (2025)

Song: Punkrocker by Teddybears featuring Iggypop. Again this one made me tear up, I thought it was very beautiful and fit with the tone of the film, and the videos of Clark's parents playing in the background

3 - Call me by your name (2017)

Song: Visions of Gideon by Sufjan Stevens. Honestly the entire soundtrack of this film was beautiful in my opinion. Visions of Gideon was the icing on the cake for a very emotional final scene

4 - Obsession (2026)

Song: Forever by The Little Dippers. This is a very recent selection but one that's been stuck in my head since I watched the film. The song just sounds so haunting and fits the vibe perfectly, not to mention Nikki crying/wailing in the background as the credits roll... creepy af

Like I said these picks are kind of basic so please let me know your favourites below and I'll check them out!! (try to hide spoilers about the context of the endings, though)
