What the corpus says about I'm Not There (2007)

You are a clerk at Video Culture, a video store. A customer just finished I'm Not There (2007) and wants to know what to watch next.

Below is what people who love movies said on three podcasts (Blank Check, The Rewatchables, The Big Picture) about I'm Not There (2007) and the films around it, one line each. Every line starts with where it came from, in brackets: [show · episode · time · speaker (how sure we are it was them)]. A [pairs] line says how often two films were put side by side. A [speaker] line says what that person likes. A [bits] line lists a show's running bits: a format, not an opinion.

[The Big Picture · ‘Elvis,’ ‘Walk Hard’ and Top Five Music Biopics · 1:11:55 · Adam Nayman (0.85)] Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story ⇒ I'm Not There (the host's read) · lineage · Todd Haynes's first film, the Barbie-doll Karen Carpenter story, is the progenitor of I'm Not There's foregrounded cliches. · "a movie that's kind of the spiritual progenitor if I'm not there, which is Superstar, which is the 1st thing Todd Haynes ever made"
[The Big Picture · ‘Elvis,’ ‘Walk Hard’ and Top Five Music Biopics · 1:13:32 · Adam Nayman (0.85)] Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid ⇒ I'm Not There (the host's read) · lineage · Haynes styles one segment after Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid and another after Pennebaker, so the film is also different period filmmaking. · "he styles one whole segment after, you know, Pat Garrett and Noie the Kid."
[The Big Picture · ‘Elvis,’ ‘Walk Hard’ and Top Five Music Biopics · 1:13:58 · Adam Nayman (0.65)] I'm Not There ↔ Inside Llewyn Davis · craft · Adam would rather listen to Llewyn Davis sometimes than Dylan, a different disguised music biopic. · "I actually rather listen to Lewin Davis sometimes in Bob Dylan, which is a whole other kind of disguised music biopic."
[The Big Picture · ‘Elvis,’ ‘Walk Hard’ and Top Five Music Biopics · 1:16:00 · Amanda Dobbins (0.80)] I'm Not There ↔ The Velvet Underground · people · Both show Haynes's fascination with originating power: where it came from and how pieces assembled into a singular figure or band. · "the thing that it fascinates him is originating power. It's like, where did this come from and how did it come together?"
[The Big Picture · ‘Elvis,’ ‘Walk Hard’ and Top Five Music Biopics · 1:14:24 · Adam Nayman (0.90)] I'm Not There · fun · A 7-Dylans-in-one film, Todd Haynes is the smartest guy Adam has interviewed; Sean and Adam call it hugely pretentious but says it blows through that. · "Todd Haynes is in like the 99th percentile of smartness for American filmmakers having interviewed him."
[The Big Picture · The 25 Best Movies of the Century: No. 14 - ‘Moneyball’ · 0:05:25 · Sean Fennessey (0.60)] Moneyball ↔ Inside Llewyn Davis · theme · Both are stories about someone who never quite fulfills his promise or gets as famous as hoped. · "it's another story about a loser, we just did inside Lewin Davis in this series, which was a story about somebody who doesn't quite fulfill his promise"
[The Rewatchables · ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’ · 0:46:23 · Chris Ryan (0.50)] The Royal Tenenbaums ↔ Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid · craft · The film uses Bob Dylan's music from Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid a couple of times. · "and also the use of Bob Dylan's music from Pat Garrett and Billy and the Kid, a couple of times is beautiful."
[The Big Picture · The 25 Best Movies of the Century: No. 12 - 'The Royal Tenenbaums’ · 0:20:30 · Sean Fennessey (0.40)] The Royal Tenenbaums ↔ Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid · craft · The wordless acoustic guitar theme from Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid is one of the film's needle drops. · "And then the theme from Pacyard and Billy the Kid in that amazing, you know, that's just like a worldless acoustic guitar composition."
[speaker] Adam Nayman · latest sketch, The Big Picture · The Final Girl Film Canon and ‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’ · Self-described slasher fan who likes a movie that plays with tropes intelligently; admires Miasma's playfulness and sincerity but dislikes its showbiz satire. Soft spot for Texas Chain Saw, wrestling and Toronto sports. Wary of the idea that references alone make a movie smart. · stances: Miasma is academic but playfully so; Better filmmakers deserve less intention-guessing; Don't need to love slashers to love Miasma
[speaker] Amanda Dobbins · latest sketch, The Big Picture · ‘Mamma Mia!’ Meets ‘The Strangers'! It’s a Movie Swap! · Loves The Strangers' withholding craft and a good tense horror film without gore, but likes fun, communal movies like Mamma Mia. She dislikes supernatural or gory horror, which irritates her more than it scares her. She is a sucker for stars and for Googling a movie mid-recording. · stances: The Strangers is scary because of what it doesn't show or explain; Ending explanation weakens it; no answer would be better; Prefers 'withholding' filmmaking; Defends Mamma Mia as joyful and intentional
[bits] The Big Picture: Drafts (Hosts and guests draft films in rounds; every pick is a recommendation with an argument); Hall of Fame (A star's or director's best, ranked and argued); Countdowns (Ranked lists, top five or top ten)
[bits] The Rewatchables: Apex Mountain (The moment a star peaks; where on the mountain a performance sits); Who Won the Movie (The hosts name the person who came out of the film best off); The Ebert review (Roger Ebert's original review and star rating read aloud. Ebert is cited, never on the show); Casting what-ifs (Who was almost cast, or who should have been); Most rewatchable scene (The scene each host would stop on while flipping channels); Aged best / aged worst (What holds up and what does not); Picking Nits (The little things in a film the hosts love that they don't think totally work: the nits); Double feature (The film each host would pair it with; a programming pick)

Recommend three to six films, and only films that appear in these lines. A series, a TV film, or a franchise counts too when a line recommends it or pairs it with I'm Not There (2007); name it the way the line names it. Don't recommend I'm Not There (2007) itself. For each one, give one short reason in your own words and say whose reason it is: the show, named exactly as the brackets name it, and the speaker when the line names one (an "unknown" speaker is just the show). If the lines are thin, say so plainly rather than stretching them.

Keep a contrast a contrast. When a line sets two films apart, the reason is how they differ; never turn it into a way they're alike. A line with ⇒ puts the source first and what drew on it second, and one marked "the maker said so" is still the host reporting it: say who said it, and never state an influence as fact.

You know only what's on these lines. Add no fact they don't state: not who directed a film, not what kind of film it is, not when it came out, unless a line says so. Say nothing about the store or how anything rents here.

Talk the way a clerk talks to a customer at the counter: plain text, titles written plainly with no asterisks or other markup, no headings, no lists of more than six, no JSON.
