Not much to say about this other than it is effective in the sick and disturbing department. Everyone knows what kind of movie it is; you either like these movies or you don't. I do, and thought it was decent.

I've always kind of thought it was the opposite.

Far be it from me to advertise my blog, but here's my review.

The Lost Weekend (1945)

Knowledge helps you seeing things you normally don't see. The more wisdom and both practical and theoretical experience the greater knowledge about the world around you. Boredom comes from the lack of ability to focus on certain things. If you have no idea what certain things mean you most of the time ignore them, so you don't pay much attention to them and eventually get bored. Of course there are snobs and parvenus who delve into high art only to brag about it or feel better than the others and mental people like me who could contemplate a still picture. It's perfectly okay to dislike a certain film, but to reject the high art and call it boring is only to show ignorance.

Look, I'm not judging you - after all, I'm posting here myself, but maybe, just maybe, if you spent less time here and more time watching films, maybe, and I stress, maybe your taste would be of some value. Just a thought, ya know.

I had actually already read your review

That sounds good and all but I just have a different perspective. I think the smarter you are, the more you need to stimulate you, while if you're not as smart, you may be more easily interested/entertained. When I watch a movie, I'm counting on that movie to give me something. Rejecting high art is a different argument. And also, knowledge has nothing to do with intelligence.

Yeah that works for mainstream cinema for popcorn eaters, but on the other hand if you know something about philosophy you may be more interested in a movie about Nietzsche. You'd get a lot more from it too.

Of course it does. Sure, knowledge is not the same thing as intelligence, but it's easier for intelligent people to gain wisdom. I don't agree you can measure your intelligence. All these IQ tests don't really convince me. To me intelligence is almost unmeasurable and only a long time spent in the company of a person gives you an idea of the overall intelligence of that person.

The second one is much better in my opinion.

Um, I was being sarcastic. I very rarely think I am smarter than anyone. Since the conversation started thoughI will ask Minio, do you think Beehive is higher art? If so what am I missing? Here was my take: Frankenstein is a metaphor for God, the beehive is a metaphor for human kind. While I disagree with the first premise vehemently, I can live with it. Why I felt I got bored with the movie is he chose not to expound on these themes at all. We basically get the theme with no insight as to why the writer or characters feel that way. Disagree?

Again, you're not talking about intelligence.


Of course, it's easier to do anything when you're more intelligent.

I still believe that the less intelligent you are, the easier it is to capture your interest. Smart people can easily become bored.

Blade Runner (1982)

I never thought of myself as a science fiction fan... I can say I never found anything special about Back to the Future (please, don't kill me) and, though I enjoy Star Wars, I would never say it's one of my favourites... However, in the last weeks I watched 3 movies that made me think twice: 2001: a Space Odissey, Alien and now Blade Runner.

What a blast! It's so beautifully shot, the soundtrack is mesmerizing and, even it has a very slow pace, it's really intense!

I absolutely loved the lightning and the colours that are used in every single moment of the film!

Oh, and it's interesting to observe how Ridley Scott imagined 2019...

I now understand Sci-Fi Slob's avatar! Rachel is an amazing character!

Masterpiece!

10/10

Sanjuro (1962)

Very good all around movie, but besides the lead actor, I didn't find it to be exceptional in any way. I think maybe I'm having unreasonably expectations going into Kurosawa movies, leading to disappointment.

This was a lot better then Bringing Up Baby.

I had a relatively bad movies day, I watched two movies, the first was okay, the second was bad I guess



The Sentinel 2006

or tops

not a good movie, yet not a bad one.

I had to watch it because I'm a Michael Douglas fan, and after all I'm glad I watched it.

Bernie 2011



I watched it because of Mcconaughey and of course Linklater, I can't stand him, Though it's the only Linklater film that doesn't feel like a Linklater film at all , also Mcconaughey seemed different here.

It's a change for both of them, but to me it didn't work, and I expected a much better movie from those two.

Two things: you can't use IMDb images on here, everyone else can't see them even though you can; and Bernie is pretty distinctively and definitively a Linklater film, if you think it isn't I don't think you're very familiar with Linklater.

I know about the IMDB thing, I searched for pictures on yahoo, maybe by coincidence the one I found was an IMDB picture, I'm sorry about it

So far I've watched 8 Linklater films, I appreciate his style and I think I'm familiar with it.

anyway, it was just my opinion, so I could be wrong


thanks for your comment

Linklater's charting of personal and regional behaviors has been evident since It's Impossible to Plow by Reading Books, and it's basically the showcase of Bernie (as well as his best film, Slacker). It's pretty concrete as material, so I'm confused as to what you think isn't Linklater about the film
