Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

I'm vaguely aware, but yeah, he hasn't been a director that interests me. I have Boogie Nights sitting around here somewhere that I really should watch one of these days but it just hasn't grabbed me.
He kind of strikes me as a Richard Linklater style director, which is fine, just not something worth going to the theater for (didn't see Blue Moon either).
If it looks like you won't lose anything seeing it at home, it's hard to get out and justify the theater experience anymore.
Speaking of Richard Linklater, I went back and re-watched Slacker not long ago and it was a tough re-watch. I remember loving it when it first came out, but it did not age well.
I disagree. I felt like it was the first movie I’d seen in a while that was actually enhanced by the theater experience.
Which one? One Battle After Another?
Like I say, I can't speak to the film, just the vibe I got from the trailers.

Yes, One Battle After Another. The final chase especially is made for the big screen in a pleasantly old fashioned way. No 3D bullshit, just exceptional cinematography that looks even better when it’s huge.
I feel safe saying the film is not for me, I couldn't make it through the plot summary on Wikipedia. LOL. It just seems all over the place. Tried both the film and the original book Vineland.
