Quote post with an image of how you picture 2025
“What I was trying to get at in Ran, and this was there from the script stage, was that the gods or God or whoever it is observing human events is feeling sadness about how human beings destroy each other, and powerlessness to affect human beings' behavior.“

– Akira Kurosawa

"No one hated it more than me; to this day, no one hates it more than me."
- David Fincher on Alien³

Nevertheless, this is my favorite film of the series next to Ridley Scott's #Alien.
And you know what's perfect? Elliot Goldenthal's score and Alex Thomson’s camera:

Allan Grant's great photograph "At the Rancho Drive-In Theater", 1948

That's Joel McCrea on the screen, possibly in Four Faces West, released that year.

Share a film or TV character who deserved more screen time.

My choice: Jonathan Pryce as David Cartwright in Slow Horses.
