They're the kind of couple that when you first hear they're together, it doesn't make sense in your mind. But then you see this. They actually gel so well.

[@GabbyTeAma]

Perfect description 😂

[@Facelessentertainmentlg]

Made sense for me from the moment I knew.

[@dg5175]

I think they do go well together initially.

[@Scale_plus_Ted]

Agreed

[@canaisyoung3601]

If Lisa Bonet (Zoë Kravitz's mom) could have Jason Momoa as one of her husbands, what's wrong with believing Zoë could be with Channing Tatum?

[@stachedude]

1:58 Yo when the both synchronized said "I never even read the book" that was hella cute wth

[@ahmedkamal7095]

I was looking for this comket

[@kidkangaroo5213]

That's chemistry right there

[@EthanMatthews-q3v]

She says "I've only read the book", which makes it hella cute AND funny.

[@Spacemonkeymojo]

When couples say the same thing at the same time that's when you know they're meant to be together. Although they didn't say the exact same thing.

[@arjay8625]

And then the next cut she rests her head on his shoulder as he’s explaining the movie uggggghhhhhhh

[@chase6548]

[@HotStrange]

Such an amazing movie. Maybe my second favorite from Gilliam.

[@mrjekyll6]

And he wasn't even looking around for it, he specifically asked where the film was with intent! Sorry not sorry, fanboying over others' appreciation of Terry Gilliam here.

@@HotStrange second after... 12 Monkeys or Brazil? or Fear & Loathing. I love all four of those so much but I'd have to put 12 Monkeys number 1 and the other three in a tie for second.

1:56 Interesting note for Channing: Kent Williams who painted that Lord of the Flies cover also illustrated the comic series Havok & Wolverine, coming on the heels of you mentioning your film Havoc. Also Kent's stunning book of paintings, Kwaidon, has an introduction by Darren Aronofsky.

[@VideoGameStupidLC]

Speaking of Havok I just saw X-Men: First Class on TV, which Zoe Kravitz was also in as Angel, and Havok was in that as well. He even "clipped" her wings so to speak.

[@GodLovesComics]

@@VideoGameStupidLC I think I saw First Class, but that was before I even knew who she was.

[@VideoGameStupidLC]

@@GodLovesComics Retroactive Recognition in full effect. Just funny that Channing and Zoe were both apart of X-Men in some fashion or form and are now together.

I never thought in an infinite amount of years that a) Channing Tatum would be in the Criterion closet and b) Channing Tatum picking up the Koker Trilogy in the Criterion closet.

[@EmceePinks]

In a closet of cinematic delight, Zoë and Channing share their insight. From Cassavetes’ raw, emotional flow, To “Paris is Burning,” with its timeless glow. Harland County's grit, a punk rock past, Gena Rowlands’ performance, an unforgettable cast. The Vanishing's chills and Moonstruck’s grace, They stroll through the classics, each one a treasured place. Midnight Cowboy’s TV scene spins with flair, The Rose’s soulful notes, a vibrant affair. With every pick, they weave a filmic dream, In the closet of stars, where memories gleam.

[@richiegrey5377]

How many talk about you guys at? I wanna lay around and call you back……. For years, but more so recently, the Criterion Collection has belatedly recognized female film directors by reissuing on home video examples of their work. Several Americans (Dorothy Arzner, Martha Coolidge, Karyn Kusama and Gina Prince-Bythewood among them) have made the grade, and so have a number of French ones (Agnès Varda primarily, but also Claire Denis and Céline Sciamma). Yet Criterion deserves particular praise for the spotlight it occasionally trains on an even more neglected group of distaff filmmakers, those from the former Eastern Bloc. True, the offerings, chiefly Larisa Shepitko’s “The Ascent” (Russia) and Márta Mészarós’s “Adoption” (Hungary), haven’t exactly been plentiful, but what’s there is cherce-to quote Spencer Tracy decidedly out of context. The latest addition to this small but significant list pairs two important films directed by Kira Muratova on a double-disc Blu-ray set. Though born to a Russian father and Romanian-Jewish mother in what is now Moldova, Muratova (pronounced moo-RAT-oh-vah) is today generally considered Ukrainian because of her decades-long professional association with Odesa, the city in which she made most of her movies and where she died in 2018 at age 83.

[@Theomite]

That story he tells about SEVEN SAMURAI and RASHOMON is exactly how someone in a comic book store on Ventura Blvd. in Studio City introduced me to _Watchmen_ in 2001. So this kind of thing does happen in real life. And I find it delightful how short she is.

[@NomadicBrian]

I'm encouraged to see young actors pick up a classic that I identify with. Love the list.

[@slightlygrouchy]

I already absolutely love them for picking Harlan Coiunty, and for saying that Paris is Burning is the best documentary of all time. But that they also picked Fisher King and Moonstruck on top of that totally blew my mind. These two have incredible taste!

[@bannonorama]

The way they're actually perfect together is insane.
