Went and saw Black Swan last night. Not a pleasant experience.
I think I hate Ballet Movies. I thought this was going to be something other than another fucking Ballet Movie. Nope. "Oh, the pressures of making it as a dancer! Oh, the domineering stage mom! Oh, the body dysmorphia!" Fucking hated it. Plus I am not even hot in the pants for Natalie Portman, which meant I could not even enjoy this on a salacious level. Plus there were a lot of feet closeups. Ew. |

He is the most underrated filmmaker of all time. His films are always SO visually arresting, SO masterfully directed... it's proof that if you are truly independent -- but you also want to succeed (as in, make some money) -- you aren't going to be very popular. But at least he has hardcore fans out there, I think.

They're alive but aren't very well seeded. 5kb/s download speed and shit.

That sucks. I was really hoping people would keep them alive, since he's probably the best undiscovered filmmaker in the world today. I would've kept em alive myself but I don't have the space.

Derek, dunno if you saw the episode with this on it, but this is probably the best things the simpsons has produced in a long time:

Hopefully they download before the freeleech is over but I don't know, utorrent slows my connection down so much that I can't browse the internet so I only have it running when I'm away from the computer.
And yeah I remember seeing that. http://deadhomersociety.wordpress.com/ This is a cool blog. Entirely dedicated on hating new episodes of the Simpsons (which they dub "ZOMBIE SIMPSONS"). |

that sounds like a problem you have with the settings of utorrent. not sure what exactly. it used to slow down this computer i'm using -- the 11 years old one with windows me and 11gb of space on it -- but i changed some shit a while back.. i think the refresh rate (when it checks for tracker updates) and how many people could be connected to me and it worked a lot better.
thanks for the blog link! |

The new Simpsons episodes are weird. The jokes are either lowbrow, obvious or akin to something from Two and a Half Men. I don't connect with the characters at all anymore and characters are only used for a particular joke instead of exploring them like in previous episodes. Whenever I tell people that my favourite TV show is The Simpsons I always have to say, "oh, the first 10 or so seasons only". Strangely, if it ended I'd still be sad but for the last 12 years it's been my favourite show and I'll always love it for as long as I live.
It's cool anyway, I'm going to bed soon so I'll just leave utorrent open all night. |

I think many many episodes of the simpsons are still good. It's just good in a different way. Don't get me wrong, there have been some horrible shows, but I'm actually surprised by how clever and consistent a lot of the writing is. It just feels like.. every episode will have a few cool moments, whereas previously every moment of every episode was awesome. Even the older seasons had some lesser episodes -- it feels like the new ones are the lesser episodes of old seasons.
Subpar Simpsons still entertains me. But it's hardly must watch tv. |

I'm super out of touch with movies these days, but I just saw Black Swan, and thought it was pleasant.

The last few opening sequences of the Simpsons I have seen have all been pretty excessively morbid. The banksy one, one where they all go to the electric chair, and I think one other.

A lot of the newer couch gags are dragged out and unfunny. But I like the long morbid ones.

I like the dark ones. It was pretty bold to put maggie in the chair, I was shocked (he he) and tickled. I can't say I recall any other long ones that don't end in them dying or something...
