Weird request: can you say the rating out loud, or hold it on the screen for a little longer? I oftentimes listen to your videos while driving and it’s hard to catch the score when it’s gone so quickly. I know you make your content for me specifically, so I’m sure you’ll be happy to oblige.

[@ZO6Buccaneer]

If Platoon is your first Oliver Stone film, highly recommend checking out JFK. People think it’s just going to be a boring 3-hour biopic, but it’s actually a nonstop onslaught of conspiracies with some of the greatest actors of the 90s in some of their wildest roles.

[@thaahurricane]

JFK rules

[@manavsandhu584]

Sutherland absolutely steals the film

[@Olole]

One of the only if not the only movie I've seen twice in a row

[@ohnoitsdominoes5393]

JFK is genuinely the most stacked cast ever put to tape and it’s in service of a three hour cocaine-fuelled crackpot theory that argues that the President was shot because of some feverish gay conspiracy that makes precisely zero sense… and it is still somehow the highest of high art that will have you going 👁️ throughout its runtime, Tommy Lee Jones and Donald Sutherland just steal the show, Joe Pesci too. Two of these are barely in the film too!!! Just bonkers

[@shabberto]

Yeah nice it was recommended to me yesterday so interesting to hear another recommendation the next day !

[@gahllib]

On the occassions when I have to convince somebody to watch Fury Road who has expressed disinterest in mad max, sci-fi, or even action movies generally, I tell them "It's by the director of Babe 2: Pig in the City." Works every time

[@lilmissgearhead]

The 4D Twisters was one of the best theater experiences I’ve had in the last decade. Fully packed and high energy audience definitely helped. SO fun

[@isaiahvoss]

I wished I experienced that!! 🌪

[@Legority]

I got the 4D Twisters experience by chasing tornadoes in May

[@SureTina]

Watching these at the beginning of each month is some sort of cozy ritual

[@Siderite]

I watched (notable mentions only): - Hit Man - forgettable, almost bad - Mars Express - good Asimovian sci-fi animation film - Monkey Man - really good! Don't get hung up on the "Indian John Wick" marketing. The movie is so much deeper. - The Bikeriders - turns a bland photo album + interviews book into a captivating window into the past

[@michaelangelo2192]

Glengarry Glenn Ross' script is so good! Think you undersold it here. Written by the legendary David Mamet (has Karsten ever watched 'House of Games' etc.?) Mamet has a really impressive movie catalogue

[@magpie325]

Past his movie catalogue he has an even more impressive playwriting resume. That's what he is truly best known for.

[@michaelangelo2192]

@@magpie325 Oh absolutely! But this is a movie channel so I thought I'd stick to talking about movies lol. And very few writers/directors have made or worked on as many good films as he has: Glengarry, The Verdict, Homicide, House of Games, The Spanish Prisoner, Wag the Dog, State and Main, The Untouchables... Plus there are so many I haven't seen that also look interesting: The Winslow Boy, Things Change, The Postman Always Rings Twice, Hoffa, Ronin etc.

[@leslievanhouten]

I feel GGR suffers from setting such a standard, that it seems “common” now, since so many other movies have borrowed elements of this script I used to work in tech sales and this is still quoted often

[@trinaq]

Mia Goth is the Scream Queen of her generation, she continues to impress me. Also, "Twisters" was a fun time, it updated the story for a modern audience, while keeping some 90's nostalgic elements.

[@SapphireCarbuncle009]

I got to watch The Guy Who Doesn't Like Musicals, which doesn't technically count as a "movie" but it was a fun time and as someone who doesn't really follow Starkid productions I had a good time. Especially the entire ending performance, love how hard they leaned into the bit there.

[@millie74619]

omggggg literally my fav starkid production!! maybe besides nerdy prudes just die, you should definitely check that one out. (also maybe firebringer too and the trail to oregon which are all so fking good!!)

[@christianorton7486]

I don’t love Twister, but Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt remind me of so many couples I’ve known. Funny how different experiences in life affect readings of movies or other art. I actually like that.

[@OddOneOut665]

As long as MUBI is still alive, so will Karsten's Channel be...

[@originaozz]

Babe 1 and 2 holds a special spot in my childhood.🥺 I was super sad when he got lost in the city and torn apart from his owners.

[@markvandermolen7181]

I can’t state enough how much I love these monthly videos.

[@loganbass9969]

BIG W for shouting at Corey’s. Love Joe Pera Talk With You so its happy to see Conner O’Malley being recognized more.

[@okamiwolf250]

Babe: Pig In The City is one of my favorite childhood movies. First film to emotionally destroy me, if you know you know. Gonna have to go give that one a rewatch.

[@isaiahvoss]

Twisters all the way for me. I watched it once at a early screening and the second at my drive in theater and it was a blast!! The original was one of my favorites as a kid by being fascinated with the vehicles, DOROTHY, and of course Aunt Meg's breakfast. Twisters has great nods and references from the original including DOROTHY but as DOROTHY V. It's a mystery how Kate and her friends got DOROTHY V in the beginning of the film. I do love the original and the new one if you feel it chase it!! The original will always have a special place in my heart! Rest in peace Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

[@thejman3489]

I watched 2 films this month: The Lion King: haven't seen this movie since I was a kid. It was petty good. The Bikeriders: One of the best movies I have seen this year. It really sucked me in and showed me what it was like to be part of the biker gang. The acting was really good to the point you felt like you knew the characters as if they were your own friends or family.

[@MicoDossun]

July I went a bit wild and watched a bunch of small indies and my favorite movies were This Closeness, Christmas Again, and Fourteen

[@TortillaBoy242]

I recommend "all about Lily chou chou"(it's on Tubi). It's a masterpiece I feel doesn't get talked about whatsoever on movie KZbin

Karsten you should really watch Normal People, Daisy Edgar Jones in that is literally some of the best acting I've ever seen.

[@yashsingh9159]

Haven't watched Twisters but Daisy Edgar Jones was incredible to me in Normal People so I'm surprised to hear she wasn't great tbh

My fav watches of July were Unbreakable, The Dark Knight, Logan, Sing Sing, Legally Blonde, She's the Man, The Apartment, Close Encounters, Ratatouille, Nausicaa, Longlegs, Mamma Mia, Manhunter, King of New York, Blowout, The Sandlot and Pearl. Keep up all the good work that you do

[@Cowboy_Anonymous]

In July I watched: -Exhuma -Body Melt -Longlegs -Memories of Murder Very short list but it’s what I got. On another note your comment about how Longlegs might be a satire on the crime thriller genre could genuinely make me like the movie more than I do if viewed under that lens. Here’s to more movies in August!

[@TortillaBoy242]

Memories of murder is one of my favorites of all time. Gave it a rewatch in July. If you liked it, I recommend the Japanese movie Cure.

[@Cowboy_Anonymous]

@@TortillaBoy242 loved Memories of Murder, I’ll definitely check out Cure! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@stevenostuni6266]

If you haven’t seen it yet, Stephen Chow’s Journey to the West would be great for monkey Mondays. Not all the jokes have aged well, but it’s a great Kung Fu Hustle style take on the story, only with more emotional ambition and some insane tonal shifts (in a good way)

[@aidanofapollo6112]

daisy edgar jones is incredible in normal people if you haven’t seen it

[@Bulldozer4000]

Haven't seen much but being able to rewatch Spirited Away in a completely empty cinema all by myself was fucking magical. It's like I almost forgot this is one of the greatest films ever made.

[@artirony410]

spent most of July traveling so a lot of rewatches on long flights, probably forgot some because on multiple 12+ hour flights everything just becomes a blur -Rush Hour -Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl -Friday -Sherlock Holmes -Mad Max 2 -Hour of the Wolf -The Pied Piper -Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain

[@micahfisher6125]

I was torn between wanting to watch either a Kurosawa film or a Bergman one today, and Karsten talking about Kurosawa here was enough to sway me.

[@papareggiespizza]

The Hidden Fortress is a good movie and inspired Stars Wars from the funny peasants that resembles R2-D2 and C-3PO to line that one of the officers said to Darth Vader before being choked “. . . The rebel’s hidden fortress.”

Monkey kingdom is the cinematographic masterpiece of the century.

[@strahljd]

I agree about Out of Sight, I always wonder why it isn't talked about more as well, it's a movie I revisit pretty often and get about as much out of it as a Tarantino or Guy Richie film. It's very entertaining and rewatchable, good soundtrack too

If you're getting into Rohmer, check out Joanna Hogg. Unrelated, Archipelago and The Souvenir are all like Rohmer, it's ordinary people and their ordinary conversations but told masterfully.

[@Indeeee]

I watched (500) Days of Summer (8.5/10) - _Watched it for the first time last month and I'm kinda surprised by how well directed it was. The way it was presented coupled with a non linear storytelling is what makes this movie such a great watch. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel were great, Chole Grace also had a minor yet memorable early role. Kinda sucks that Marc Webb never made anything this good again, his The Amazing Spider-Man movies were really bad._ X-Men (7/10) - _This movie feels more like an experiment to see if it's possible to make a compelling X-Men movie and overall they were pretty successful at that I'd say. The casting is great too however, the action scenes feels very lacking and were passable at best. Most of the character portrayals were good except Cyclops, these movies did absolutely nothing with Cyclops and made him look like wimp who is always jealous of Wolvy. Also this is mostly a nitpick but this movie looks kinda dull, X-Men are colourful characters and I'm not a fan of the way they look in these movies aside from Mystique and Magneto. That said, I did liked this movie overall and I can definitely understand why some people really love this movie especially if this was your fight exposure to these characters. Solid movie overall but has some obvious flaws._ X2: X-Men United (8.5/10) - _My thoughts on X2 is very similar to my thoughts on The Road Warrior. Both are sequels that are considerably better than the original. X2 is just a lot better at handling a larger cast of characters and has a much stronger script. The action scenes are also quite alot better than the first. The opening scene with Nightcrawler is a standout. In general it does everything much better than its predecessor. The central characters also gets to do much more here except Cyclops ofc, he basically gets captured early on and then appears near the end of the movie only to lose Jean lol. Brian Cox was really good as William Stryker and in general I think Stryker was the best antagonist in these first X-Men movies and acts as a great follow up from the original exploring more of Logan's past. It also gave us the best movie X-Men score. Great movie overall. Also, this movie surprisingly has no Stan Lee cameo._ X-Men: The Last Stand (5/10) - _To put it simply, it's a mess. A pretty entertaining mess I'd say but a mess nonetheless. The pheonix storyline is absolutely wasted and Magneto's brotherhood of mutants storyline is severely undercooked. Also, hated how quickly the movie just killed off Professor X and Cyclops like they were nothing, Mystique just loses her powers and Magneto simply abandons her just like that. I feel like this movie should've just focused on Magneto's storyline alone since it was built up from the first two movies, the last minute director change didn't helped either._ The Boys, Season 4 (Episodes 6-8) (7/10) - _Its basically more of what I said about the first 5 episodes of this season. Not a bad season by a long shot but definitely the weakest one by far. The last episode was very unpredictable and although I have my problems, the way it ended made me very excited for whats to come._ House of the Dragon, Season 2 (7/10) - _Its all a setup. A giant preparation. I don't really mind a slow burn setup but there must be some kind of resolution to keep the viewers interested. The performances absolutely carried this season but even then this season didn't have anyone particularly standout. Paddy Considine was incredible in season 1, so good that the show runners bought him back for some dreams sequences. Rhys Ifans could've been that standout actor this season if only his character wasn't banished from the entire season. Also, the final episode feels like a penultimate. That being said, I didn't disliked this season by any means, Dance of the Dragons was really great and by far the highlight of the season. Both Aegon and Aemond are way more prolific this season. I do feel characters like Rhaenyra and Daemon lacked that complexity of their season 1 counterparts. Honestly, I wouldn't mind all this setup if we didn't had to wait freaking two more years to get a season 3. Anyways, it was definitely a disappointing season but I really hope season 3 delivers and pushes the story forward in a more accessible pace._ Alright bye

I watched 30 movies in July, 14 of which were made by the same studio as Sharknado. Why did I do this? I have no idea.
