Patton's Closet Picks
Added 2023-09-06 17:00:04 +0000 UTCI love the closet picks criterion series as many of you know. I was very happy to see Patton Oswalt on most recently. I may not be a huge fan of his work as a comedian, nor do we agree on a lot of issues...but, I like him a lot, and he's the kind of guy I'd really like to get to know and talk about life with. He also really knows his movies. A closet picks with him needs to be 30 minutes long lol. But yeah, hope you guys enjoy it if you haven't seen it yet.

Yes! That would be awesome. I would just love an in-depth analysis/your take on the film in some way.

2023-09-06 22:18:35 +0000 UTCI am working on a Diablo Cody review but, sadly not Young Adult. I should make an underrated list and put that one on there.

2023-09-06 20:39:38 +0000 UTCYeah I mean...I tend to lean liberal just in philosophy as a person. But I find the pendulum so extreme these days that I find myself taking things on a basis by basis stance. I find I have many liberal stances but also conservative stances. I think it's important to have a bit of both, and understand both arguments respectfully.

2023-09-06 20:37:37 +0000 UTCYeah, that's part of my struggles with him. But...as a person, when putting aside differences, I quite like him. I think he's just a little brainwashed. But so many in Hollywood are. He's definitely one of the more well-adjusted ones overall I'd say.

2023-09-06 20:37:17 +0000 UTCSo I've seen Young Adult probably around 8 times. I watched it the other day actually. I agree I think it's a very underrated film. Deeply sad.

2023-09-06 20:36:28 +0000 UTCI’d love to see you do a review of Young Adult. It’s one of those 2000s-esque movies that’s a dark, dark film with comedic elements. Ever since your review of Observe and Report, I’ve been dying for more reviews of so-called “prickly” movies, one that are sometimes easy to write off.

2023-09-06 18:10:47 +0000 UTCI love his comedy. He's clearly a smart and thoughtful guy. Too bad about his cultural stance, which is the worst sort of hateful sneering and contempt for half the country. But off that soapbox, he's a decent and interesting fellow. Thanks for this link DeepFocusLens!

2023-09-06 17:28:53 +0000 UTCI thought it was incredible how after having a heated debate with a trump supporter on twitter, he ended up donating money to the man’s go fund for me for his medical expenses.

2023-09-06 17:28:44 +0000 UTCYes! One False Move is an all time classic! Siskel and Ebert introduced me to it when they had it on their Best of 1992 show.

2023-09-06 17:10:16 +0000 UTCEverything I've seen with him, he always comes off as genuinely kind and empathetic. I think also with all the tragedy in his life, I also just find the way he navigated that especially with a daughter to be so touching.

2023-09-06 17:08:21 +0000 UTCHe made some really interesting picks, thanks for sharing! Personally, on paper I agree with Oswalt on many issues, but yeah, he’s pretty neoliberal and virtue signals a lot. But it’s interesting, while I enjoy a lot of transgressive movies, I tend to have a bit of a conservative personality, even though I’m nowhere near conservative politically.

2023-09-06 17:05:45 +0000 UTCI won’t ever be able to unhear him as Remy from Ratatouille
