So I just got done finishing a short film called Notre-Dame Des Hormones which was some fantasy short about two women who find a strange monster that looks like a penis and then their actions get the thing involved. This seems to show desire. Multiple people get killed such as one man who comes near it and later one of the women. I heard of it, because of uenostation54's movie list that showed all of these weird movies that nobody has ever heard of except for the "most normal movies on the list" such as It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World and even Breathless. After months of thinking about it, I finally checked this thing out and did not really like it. I found the result to be too familiar as somebodys like Bunuel, Rohmer, and Jodorowsky did the desire topic in a better way. I even feel like Mike Judge did it better as well with Beavis and Butthead. That is just me, so I respect uenostation's appeal to this short. My money in terms of surrealistic movies is still on ones like Un Chien Andalou, WR: Mysteries of the Organism(My opinion on that one got better since my review of it), Daisies, and The Holy Mountain. The movie's rating for me for now-
Other pretentious pains for me included(including other media): The Royal Tenenbaums, Dr. Strange Into The Multiverse, the miniseries Candy, partially Quentin Tarantino movies during long dialogue scenes like the dinner scene in Django but the rest was great, the "philosophical" karate masters in real life and the ones shown in movies, Shadow of the Hierophant by Steve Hackett, Andy Warhol movies from what I heard despite looking interesting, and finally, I never saw this one but Jeanne Dielman's concept sounds a bit pretentious.
