No.







If I won a billion dollars, I would invest the majority of it in all sorts of different art projects. Because I have literally no interest in having that kind of money. And I...

So we shouldn't criticize things because nothing changes?



No. Sometimes things do change, because people do speak about it (things don't just happen in a vaccuum, you know). And even if...

This is skizzerflakes argument. And when you bring up things like Heaven's Gate, that was a key moment where the power began to shift back towards the suits and away from the artists. And I'm...

Of course it's a business. It's a business even when it's a low budget film being made in any country at all. But I'm not interested in conversations about the art of cinema that keep turning towards...

I have that same disc, but have never watched the sequel. I think there is a part of me that feels it's likely really embarrassingly bad, and might end up casting a light on the original.

Re: MST3K: Anti-cinema?

Not liking The Third Man score makes about as much sense as not liking Suspiria's score. Yes, I know a lot of these people exist, but that only makes it all the more baffling.
