#TheMitchellsVsTheMachines was by far my favorite animated film of the year. The risks taken both visually and narratively were remarkable! And they worked! If you vote for things, vote for this film!

The Killing

Career criminal Johnny Clay recruits a sharpshooter, a crooked police officer, a bartender and a betting teller named George, among others, for one last job before he goes straight and gets married. But when George tells his restless wife about the scheme to steal millions from the racetrack where he works, she hatches a plot of her own.
Seth Rogen

If you like Reservoir Dogs, check out The Killing. Kubrick’s non-linear film about a horse track heist with an eccentric team of thieves is awesome and incredibly fast paced for a movie from the 50’s. (Feels like Network was inspired by the narrator a bit too maybe?)

Defending Your Life

In an afterlife resembling the present-day US, people must prove their worth by showing in court how they have demonstrated courage.
Seth Rogen
Actor, Director
Rip Torn was incredible. His work on The Larry Sanders Show was hysterical but nothing is better than the way he says “Big Bear” in Defending Your Life. I still laugh just thinking about it.

Seth Rogen

Go see Uncut Gems in a theater if you can. It’s a manic, tense, psychedelic, hilarious, insanely well executed film. As soon as it ended the audience burst in to applause. It felt like we all got off a ride together.

The more I make films, the more impressed I am by good blocking and staging. And the more aware I am of bad blocking and staging. The Spahn Ranch scene in OUATIH is a good example of brilliant staging. Thanks for your time.

I feel like Memphis modern is gonna come back. If you don’t know what this design style is, watch the movie Ruthless People (which is also just a great movie). This has been a very specific tweet.

Seth Rogen

Coming to America: Again, you talk about structure. It’s, structurally, very simple and yet, it’s an unbelievably well put-together movie. The way John Landis and Eddie Murphy approach it in such a new, interesting way…I love that movie. It’s just so fucking funny.

The Last Detail

Two Navy men are ordered to bring a young offender to prison, but decide to show him one last good time along the way.
Seth Rogen
Actor, Director
I saw that more recently in life. Hal Ashby shoots very simply. He kind of takes a step back and shoots stuff as it happens. Things are never about the shot, you know? It’s always about the joke. It’s never about how the camera moves. That’s a very interesting style.

Ghostbusters

After losing their academic posts at a prestigious university, a team of parapsychologists goes into business as proton-pack-toting "ghostbusters" who exterminate ghouls, hobgoblins and supernatural pests of all stripes. An ad campaign pays off when a knockout cellist hires the squad to purge her swanky digs of demons that appear to be living in her refrigerator.
Seth Rogen
Actor, Director
That was just good ol’ high-concept fun. Evan and I always like to take ridiculous situations and handle them as though they were real. That’s kind of where the idea of Pineapple Express came from. These ridiculous action movie situations and you handle it just how two idiots would handle it. And that’s kind of what Ghostbusters did. It’s a ridiculous concept but it was handled very much, “How would four dudes do that, you know?” And it’s great. I love that movie.
