M. Night Shyamalan recommended The Exorcist (1973) in Movies (curated)

"These are all based on books, right? And the most amazing source material, tonal source material. The Exorcist has, again, a collision of the time period with that style of cinema, but Friedkin’s kind of unlike the previous two. They did a bunch of ad-libby stuff, but The Exorcist was the most with regard to that contemporaneous kind of shooting. The story is about a reality-based story about the Devil, done at a time when docu-style was predominant, and it felt really natural. Friedkin spent an enormous amount of time shooting the movie and did it with reverence, and the structure is perfect. It starts in the Middle East, goes to a Georgetown bedroom, and gets smaller and smaller until you meet a side character, the second priest. The plot is this incredible kind of twisty thing, and then he ends up sacrificing himself. It’s awesome."

"The first film I saw by Dumont was L’humanité. I saw it immediately after I made Japón and it made such an impression on me. At that point, Dumont was doing something absolutely perfect: when he was shooting and creating sequences, he was taking presence into the camera and building with it. In L’humanité and La vie de Jesus, it’s striking how he used sound in such a direct way, to the point where he kept the sound of each shot distinct from its counter shot, even though they are part of the same sequence. You can also feel that he was shooting in the place he was born and raised. The things the characters say, the pauses they take when they talk, the perfect choice of words—all of that just shows he’s someone who is very aware of what he experiences in life."

While I was entertained, I'm not sure what they were trying to accomplish with making this film. It was good, not great. They could have done so much more with it. The shooting locations were beautiful, definitely one of the best parts. The characters were neither here, nor there, even though the cast was stacked with talent.
I do wish I would have seen this in theaters on a huge screen.

Poor story

Learnt nothing from original

Shooting repetitively doesn't make a fun game

I completed the original Destiny and considered it a unfinished game, where you needed the DLC to make it a full game. I was hoping the sequel would at least try to release a full game at the start but no, same old problems remain. Plus Bungie and there dodgy business practices. Extremely disappointing.
