To be honest, my "brand new fascination" ended pretty much immediately after mentioning it. As for the 'New French Extremity', a bit like your preference for eternal peace and well-being, I've really lost my appetite for almost any movie that's likely to make me fell worse after watching it than I felt before. |

Oh did anyone see what chief executive Steve Burke said at a Universal media conference "the studio would focus more on film franchises in future". And
Quote:
Jesus wept. I always thought it was just over blown bull saying that creativity is dead in Hollywood. That there's always been shit blockbuster films which disappear into the ether and that quality last (I guess I still believe that last comment). But to focus solely on franchises say it all. What we're seeing as every year goes on is studios less and less willing to take risks with big budget movies. And small budget for that matter. Dull days are coming. Or here depending on your views of American film.

"The Master" is very good. Great performances by Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Its not an easy movie to sum up, as is the case with a lot of recent PT Anderson films like "There Will Be Blood" or "Magnolia", and its probably a movie that deserves a second viewing to really take in fully. If you are a fan of his recent work I would be surprised if you would flat out hate "The Master". Is it as good or better then "There Will Be Blood"? TWBB probably has the edge for the simple fact of Daniel-Day Lewis' performance.

I love Bigger than Life. Have you seen any of Douglas Sirk's stuff? Sort of similar. All that Heaven Allows, Written on the Wind. Really good stuff. In many ways more polite precursors to movies like American Beauty and Happiness and in some ways even Blue Velvet and John Water's Desperate Living. That whole thing of there being a core ugliness beneath middle America's 'perfect' self-image. I can't recommend Douglas Sirk enough.

I read the script for this about a year ago and it was the most sloppy, incoherent thing I've read in awhile. I can't wait to see it. Seriously. |

had a movie-intensive weekend
highbrow: [insert picture of jiro dreams of sushi here] fantastic! loved this movie so hard. middle brow [insert picture of the rum diary here] lots & lots of fun lowbrow: [insert picture of red tails here] not enough fancy action and not enough drama. the first tuskegee airmen movie was way better-- this was like, boring. also in the lowbrow department: [insert picture of the hunger games here] meh. a wasted opportunity. she is pretty great actress though, but was better in winter's bone. |
