Now I get what you were saying (I thought you haven't watched it yet).. trailers and previews lately mosto of the times either give away too much or are tailored to show just "one way" sides of the story to appeal to a specific target.. I get how it could have been (stupidly) marketed as a superhero flick..that's one of the reasons I avoid trailers and reviews and "online comments" as much as I can for movies I could be interested in, sometimes it pays off, as I get to enjoy a nice movie without bias and without knowing what to expect exactly, other times I end up watching some crappy stuff, uh. For a movie as complex (within its limitations) as Birdman it's pobably hard to come up with a decent trailer in any case, ah ah.

just on a side note. I have noticed plenty music (not musical) movies coming up this year, which is weird but also so cool (and I know some of them are going to be "hollywoody pumped up stories" with slightly changed history facts). and I think I have missed some as well, can't remember which ones now. if you can help me.
Straight Outta Compton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrlLcb7zYmw Rogers Waters The Wall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuPyeCX7Fgg Love and Mercy. Brian's Wilson Biopic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lioWzrpCtGQ Janis Joplin Biopic in preparation http://ultimateclassicrock.com/janis...film-director/ this is documentary, but still worth to mention I think (supposed to be a good one) Kurt Cobain : Montage Of Heck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ5gh0saodk then also new Amy's Winehouse doc. which is out some time now... |

I'm not a fan of The Wall album at all, but that film looks brilliant.

Last week I saw "An Honest Liar" the documentary on James Randi who was a big inspiration for Penn and Teller, not only as magicians but as outspoken debunkers of those who exploit people's beliefs in religion, ghosts, etc. I loved this film, and had no issue with the part that delved into Randi's personal life.

And this is quite literally one of my all time fav flicks from the 2000s

A Face In The Crowd (1957):
Truly biting satire. And remarkably relevant even today. |

detlef sierck's (douglas sirk's) "la habanera" -- his last german film.
a lot of over-the-top acting and melodrama with much propaganda for the nordic "soul" and against the hell of the tropics. or so it seems to be. a hilarious mishmash of "latin" stereotypes that of course includes excertps from bizet's "carmen." of course! tyrants, toreros, tropical maladies, latin lovers, women in black veils-- really, the works. i can't say i didn't enjoy it though-- i did, and not just for the involuntary comedy and the talk-back-treatment we inflicted upon it, but there are moments of good filmmaking and cinematography, plus some genuine humor, all perceivable in spite of the bad dvd transfer from "poor man's criterion" kino video. and if you're willing to overlook some ridiculousness, it's as half-watchable as any hollywood film of the same era-- and probably more than most. |

I don't know what to think of this... it was the most well produced yet absurdly ridiculous flick I've seen in a long time.. i don't quite feel like i regret watching it but i can't with clear conscience say it was worth seeing

it's totally a mystery in that one doesn't know what the fuck is going on and one never will. which is sort of the point. definitely not a "drama"-- there is no formal conflict + climax + resolution which are usually required by the genre. it is indeed aesthetically a beautiful film but i see no point in watching it for the 8 or so hours that it feels like it lasts. great for clipping/music video though. hey, there's a movie for your next dj gig. why didn't we think of this before. |

It sort of worked for me, but I can see why it could be regarded as tedious. I loved the visual narrative style and some of the issues it explored/didn't explore. But it certainly is a very polarizing film and I totally get your opinion.To be honest, this was the first time I actually got around to watch it. I've heard about it before, but only now did I decide to give it a shot. And agreed, it would make for some nice visuals during a future gig. |
