pretentious crap.

David Lynch

[OL]

I actually don't really consider Lynch to be all that pretentious. I usually think of pretentiousness as feeling forced. And even though Lynch's work is weird, and is usually considered to be "art" film (which is, almost inherently, kind of a pretentious term to begin with), it rarely feels like he's necessarily forcing anything. It all seems pretty natural for him.
So I don't really think of him as considering his work in a high-and-mighty fashion, as most truly pretentious creators do.

I get that feeling from him. Tho Twin Peaks is cool. Still his films are largely this bunch of random shit crap passed as art. Like most modern art is pure bullshit. I will give him Twin Peaks and Elephant Man.

Exactly, couldn't have said it better myself.

Before Sunrise.

Really boring conversational piece. Picture hanging out or eavesdropping on a couple who try really really hard to be interesting by ping-ponging the most inane, pseudo-philosophical conversations mixed in with random childhood memories for five minutes.

Then if you had a choice between sticking with these people for an hour and thirty minutes or putting your head through a meat grinder, which do you think you'll have more fun doing?

At least Julie Delpy is cute. I dare you to sit through the entirety of My Dinner With Andre.
Before Sunrise is a thrill ride in comparison.

I can't believe people actually like that picture.

Christ, I saw a clip from that movie and it does look alot worse than Before Sunrise.

I hate dialogue like this. It's so goddamn "in love" with itself that it doesn't care if it's making sense or trying to entertain its audience. It just wants to preach a point a view and prove why it's right. Whereas with guys like Woody Allen and Quentin Tarantino, they make observations and have far out discussions but they do it in a way where it's entertaining. And it always always ALWAYS goes somewhere.

Of course, i'm not going to fully agree with Cage. Sure he sucks his own dick and thinks his way of doing things is the best thing ever, but judging by his works alone he can at least entertain. Even with Indigo where it goes totally wayside, his narratives actually do go somewhere (whether or not that "somewhere" is good is another discussion entirely). Shit like this and Before Sunrise, they don't go anywhere. They just want to show off how awesome their topics are and their dialogue is without caring if it's entertaining.

He's all but retired now anyway, so you won't have to put up with his "pretentiousness" any longer.

[Riku Rose]

I read in an interview that he was just going to do online stuff now as he likes being able to shoot in digital, edit the stuff himself and just upload it.

Boondock Saints.

It's still an awesome movie. I don't get the detractors unless they're really just too busy visualizing writer/director Troy Duffy arrogantly stomping around, shouting at people.

On the subject on Lynch.

What, does this freak have some kind of ... furniture and nice weekend fetish? OK, so maybe he's just a down-to-earth, mild-mannered old man who enjoys nice things.

It's a good flick. Some flaws, but nothing all too bad. Don't know anything about the director, but my biggest problem with it comes from what I think is kind of a logic hole in the story.
Okay, so these two guys get the godly inspiration to clean up the city and start blowing away criminals... so why do they team themselves up with the long-haired bearded guy? Okay, so he's entertaining. Still doesn't excuse the fact that he's just as bad as all of the "scum" they set out to do away with. He's absolutely, without question, a scumbag criminal himself. So why don't they blow him away too?
I never understood that at all.

And even though it's an entertaining movie, I'm still kind of confused by why it's become such a "Hot Topic t-shirt" cult-classic. I mean, it was huge a few years back, and still retains a pretty sizable cult fanbase.
Where's the cult fanbase for something more deserving, like say... Way of the Gun?
Why haven't I seen Parker and Longbaugh tshirts floating around?
Just doesn't seem quite right.

There are also other confusing aspects in the story I realized in recent viewings, like how the father didn't recognize his own sons initially. It's a great movie when it comes down to segments, it has alot of great scenes and performances. It doesn't always hold them together like Pulp Fiction does. Boondock Saints II lost its way though, and that's cause it was just a ripoff of the original with less entertaining scenes (I have no idea why they referenced other movies in that one, like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, wtf?!)

With Rocco, I always took it as bias from the brothers. He was a good friend to them, people tend to see better qualities with people they known personally for years and ignore the bad ones. Even relatives sometimes can overlook terrible qualities in each other just cause they're related. I thought that was the deal with him, even though he was just as bad as the other criminals.





Anyway, I saw Silver Linings Playbook. Fucking amazing movie. Loved it. The beginning was kinda shitty but it rebounded in a big way and kept getting better all the way to the end. One of the best romantic movies I've seen since TiMER and The Notebook.

[Who Really Cares?]

Looper. Ok till the big arse plot hole ending.

Anti-christ.

WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH AUUUUUGHHH!!!
