I would argue that many people know what they are talking about, but that those that do not know, assume the "knowers" are wrong.

i agree with most of this but why should you be miserable without a god or an "immortal soul"? do you miss them, or something? (it seems to me that your premises are correct but your conclusions are all wrong.) |

-john ford: a lot of people agree with you
-QT: fuck, yes, ugh! but give him at least pulp fiction. i was brilliant when it came out. -whedon: he's mainly a "snappy dialogue" guy. if that's not your thing, you haven't much reason to like him. i know his weaknesses (he's at times too derivative) but i still like him a lot though. i'm not really knowledgeable enough to discuss music. had to wikipedia greg sage. can't think of anything i remember by the wipers. yes, that's popular in these boards... |

He's a good director, but Grapes Of Wrath was just shit. Oh and so was The Quiet Man.

Well that's hardly true. Whilst it's true Marie could come across as annoying sometimes, she's hardly this one-dimensional character you trying to make out. The scenes after *SPOILERS*Hank was shot*SPOILERS*did a brilliant job of showing her more depth and character than "a controlling bitch with no awareness or concern for herself "

I'm with el Symbols. Give the man Pulp Fiction, at least. I can see how the rehash thing could be applied to his more recent stuff but while PF obviously has its influences I'd say Tarantino treated them in a pretty original way, at least at the time, and definitely compared with most of the countless films it influenced. The sense that it lacks anything distinctive now, may be the result of its style winding up in almost every gangster movies made after it. I like Pulp Fiction, Hard Boiled and Goodfellas a lot, but for their combined influence on recent gangster movies, I almost wish they'd never been made. |

inspire? give solutions? i think nietzsche was on the right track. i think what he proposed in "beyond good and evil" was immensely great, the work of centuries, but nobody has taken up the task yet (instead they talk about him, the academics). but it's there if you want to take a look. |

yes i do and i agree with much of it but there is something to be said for metaphors made out of metaphors and completely artificial worlds instead of the customary and expected attempts at realism we always get from film. i think he succeeded in pulp fiction when it came out. i don't know that the movie would work so well today because it's been so imitated, it's become such a common trope, that its original impact is very hard to perceive. for me it came some 45 minutes into the movie i was siting in that theatre, nervous as shit with everything that was going on-- gangsters, junkies, violence, blood-- when mia makes that very stupid joke about ketchup. and then i realized-- it's all ketchup, it's all stage blood, it's all a movie. and i couldn't stop laughing after that. the violence, the horror, the atrocity--it had all become a big joke. because it's what it was. it wasn't a documentary. it was just images, made out of other images, to entertain us. and that was great. but tarantino has the emotional capacity of a 12 year old and fucked it up afterwards. okay i have to go to the market now but more later |

I must admit I have some prejudice towards Gypsies.

so why not find pleasure in their absence? it's a huge freedom (and life is short). Quote:
who's that? regardless-- with a name like "gray" i feel one has no chance for happiness. less gray, more ru paul! but happiness-- i don't know about definitions of that shit. why even construct such a fiction. however-- survival is good, and pleasure abounds, and not just the coarse kind (though coarse ain't bad either). -- ps- i just read john gray's wikipedia page. he sounds like a no-fun bitter cunt. fuck him! (morality is an illusion, yet he moralizes like a champ) is that who you follow? find a better prophet-- furreal! |
