I watched Doubt and The Wrestler....pretty good.

My favorite line from Doubt was when that one younger nun says, "I don't like being suspicious of people....it makes me feel less close to God." I thought that was funny.

But more importantly, I'm rewatching this:

 


Not a movie, but still.

I pooped it out in a few minutes using some old drawings and pictures and shit. It's the first time I've ever really worked on video editing. So... time to make a feature length film!

That was actually pretty cool.

NaiveMelody 05.07.2009 09:22 PM

The Wrestler was great. :) I didn't think I would enjoy it at all, but I was wrong. My bf used to wrestle and he said that not only did they give away all the secrest, but that it also gave him "the itch".

Also, I think Twin Peakls is probably one of the best shows ever.

atsonicpark 05.07.2009 09:24 PM

I just re-watched all of Twin Peaks with the old lady over the past 2 months. Great show.

If I could go back in time, I'd change my username to How's Annie?

Ahaha.

You should send me something off the new album sometime so I'm not making a video for something long gone :eek:

atsonicpark 05.07.2009 09:27 PM

haha well hopefully within the next month I'll have the new album completely done so...

I wasn't a huge fan of NDH. To me, it was just blah blah blah, Dylan plugged in, blah blah blah. It didn't tell us anything new.

I much prefer Don't Look Back.

demonrail666 05.08.2009 12:18 AM

I love NDH. Although I think it's a better documentary about the Greenwich Village scene in general than it is about Dylan.

Star Trek, last night

I'm not an obsessive fan - I've never dressed up, never gone to a convention, never been part of a fanclub, never learnt Hamlet in the original Klingon, never written a fanfic, read a couple paperbacks when I was a kid (dreck), etc.
An ordinary viewer.
I'm realistic enough to agree with people like Philip K. Dick that it by and large was old scifi pulp militarism reheated and Nicholas Meyers that whatever pretensions it claimed to aspire to it was often just gunboat diplomacy in space.
The whole thing about being about something bigger was Roddenberrys vague flailing around at an idea without any actual work being put into it.
But on occasions in the original series and Next Generation and in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th and 8th film they actually managed to get near or reach these high ideals of being about something more-or if not that then done some decent characterization and stories. And of course there was Deep Space 9 (back to realistic: lets not beat around the bush, someone at Paramount ripped off Babylon 5 big time).
What is this new film?
A dumbfounding 'reboot' (lol guis I accidentaly continuity-wat nao /b/?)*, a few minutes for some juvenile emotions, the rest hot air couched in enough screwing around with the sound design and frenetic editing and busy directing - shakeycam close-ups, dutch angles, whip pans, sweeping dollys, lense flare etc. - to make Michael Bay blush, and action action action.
But nothing is there.

*Starting over from scratch is one thing- J. Michael Straczynski counter-proposed that very idea when he turned down joining the writing staff on Enterprise, Battlestar Galactica would be another example. But that's not what this does. It actually has to go and destroy its (future) history. Wipe it out of existence. Thats a little odd. (ironically the only thing spared since it occured in the films past is Enterprise)

The fact that I read those as : dutch angels, white panties, sleeping dolls means that I need to get laid?

I do not consider myself a trekie at all, but who the hell does JJ Abrams think he is?

he took the star trek canon, and raped it.

I suspect the movie was designed to shoe-horn ol' JJ into doing another.

it didn't help that the lady behind us would erupt in obnoxious laughter every 5 seconds. spock raises eyebrow? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I wanted to punch her.

That's such an 'hey, this is a cute indie movie' poster. Noah Baumbach is responsible for The Life Aquatic too, the bastard. HOW WAS IT ANYWAY
