Im going to convince the wife unit to let me watch the extended directors cut (5 hours) of Dune  PP It's not really a "director's cut" since Lynch is pretty ashamed of the film in general. (I think it's a masterpiece) |

Just finished watching Russian Ark by Alexander Sokurov. Incredible movie, quite a directing feat (all done on one, 96 minute take, with a cast of thousands + three orchestras). Good review of the movie here: http://henrysheehan.com/reviews/pqr/russian-ark.htmlI struggle with things Russian, so I missed a lot of the connections mentioned in the above review, but I thought I saw a strong nod to Goethe's Faust in the movie. Well worth watching. |

Russian Ark is impressive in many ways, but its setting (Tsar Peter's Hermitage) imposes a severe limitation- we mostly see the heavily Westernized, largely aristocratic part of Russia. A lot of what distinguishes Russian culture is missing from the museum and therefore from the film. I would say the Hermitage, as big as it is, is not big enough to be the ark of Russian culture.

I think that was a major point in the movie, and that's where I see elements of Faust come into play. The Narrator is Faust: a disembodied, lost spirit seeking transcendental answers, "Why Am I Here?" (also, place IS plot, in this movie!) He encounters Mephistopholes - The European Marquis. They wander through the museum seeking 'Gretchen', Faust's Great Love, which in this case is the Soul of Russia, in the elements of culture preserved there. The Marquis is everything Russia is not. He is Europe, and like Mephisto, he at first criticizes Her, then seeks to seduce her with jewels and luxury; then corrupt her (he is Roman Catholic, for example), and finally claim her soul. As she becomes more like him, the more he praises her, until finally proclaims, "No, I'm not leaving here"! A critical point is when they find a small portrait of common people, and the Marquis jealously refers to them ad "Eternal People, who go on...". Another key moment is at the end, after the Grand Ball, as the Narrator exits, someone in the crowd asks, "Where is She? Oh, see, she is still here, nothing has happened to her", just before the Narrator opens the final door onto the great sea of the future. Anyway, that's what I got out of it. Was fun to watch a movie that was actually produced as a work of art, rather than a simple telling of a tale. |

Yes, I will get right to that as soon as I take a toothbrush to the sidewalk outside. * had the sense of it, I was just stirring the pot. However, like most pot stirring I am correct. What people here gush about that is Russian or pretty much anywhere exists solely in light of the Russians attempting to come to terms with their cultural betters and benefactors, the German speaking people. Or the Ancient Greeks, who were just trying to be Germans as well. Seriously, I'll see what the resell value are on those recommendations. I spent the greater part of the day craigslisting, ebaying, amazoning my life away. Maybe I will pick those volumes up some time. Thanks for the recs. |

Identify the movie this is from:
Person 1: Burnt my fingers, man.
Person 2: I beg your pardon?
Person 1: Man, that watch is so hot, it's smokin'.
Person 2: Hot? Do you mean to imply stolen?
Person 1: I'll give you 50 bucks for it.
Person 2: Fifty bucks? No, no, no. This is a Rouchefoucauld. The thinnest water-resistant watch in the world. Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland, and water resistant to three atmospheres. This is *the* sports watch of the '80s. Six thousand, nine hundred and fifty five dollars retail!
Person 1: You got a receipt?
Person 2: Look, it tells time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad.
Person 1: In Philadelphia, it's worth 50 bucks.
Person 2: Just give me the money.

Bigger, Stronger, Faster*
This movie often gets described as a docuwhatever about steroids, but it's actually about deeper issues that have taken root in American culture. Steroids in sports just happens to be a rather visible example of the larger issue being dealt with.

It really is shocking when people rate Aliens over the original Alien. Ridley Scott was such an amazing visionary during his early career. The upcoming Prometheus seems to be in the same vein like his older films, but we will see. |

I finally watched Wrong Turn 3: Left For Dead last night.  I have owned the DVD for a year now, but never got around to watching it--or I guess I was putting it off. I thought Wrong Turn 2 was pretty good, thanks in large part to a heavy dose of Henry Rollins. Wrong Turn 1 was a snoozefest. So anyway, I bought #3 at Walmart for like $5, but when I got home and read a few reviews of it I got completely turned off to it, and decided not to watch it. Last night I was bored of watching Evil Dead 2 for the 1000th time (no exaggeration), so I popped it in. It wasn't that bad. Not as bad as the reviews I've seen seen said it was, anyway. It was filmed in Bulgaria, which was certainly nicer looking than seeing California for the thousandth time in a movie (though I think the previous two movies in this franchise were in filmed in WV, where the story takes place). The main issue I had with the movie is that it tried to pull off too many plot twists. Every eight minutes they threw a curveball at you. It wasn't an overly complicated story/backstory, but it was just too wide reaching or disparate for it's own good. The best example of this problem was the ending, which I'm not going to spoil, but let's just say that it was way more complicated and swervy than it needed to be. But for the most part I enjoyed the movie. It was a gory horror flick, and delivered what you'd expect from that type of movie. It had some interesting kills. It had some monsters. It had some gratuitous nudity. It had some bad acting (though only in spots, IMO). It had some stereotypical characters. It had a lot of plot twists. And so on. It was less campy than the 2nd Wrong Turn, but also less entertaining. The only other thing I can think of is: I was fairly frustrated that there was no audio commentary included (though there were at least a few short extras in which the director and others discuss the movie... sort of a poor man's excuse for a commentary). My rating is 3 delicious eyeball snacks out of 5. |

"Salvation is free, but not easy. It is completely dependent upon the grace of God, and yet we must work it out with fear and trembling. It is given to all, but only a few find it. We are saved only by His Cross, and yet not without taking up our own." +GMK+

Tree of Life is one of the greatest films ever made.
There is your answer to the "problem of evil". Great film. Finally got my DVD. Can't wait to watch it. Have been looking forward to this one for a long time now. Sucks that it didn't come to the theatre here in Mississippi. Selam Not to ruin anything for you, but it is certainly a film that begs to be seen "huge". Waiting to come across it on DVD somewhere, like on the street, thrown into my car, or something like that. Would definitely like to see it again. |

We cannot legislate morality by passing laws controlling firearms. The only evil we can combat lies within our hearts. We need stronger laws to protect the moral foundation of society against the evil of gay marriage. |

Finally got around to seeing the film adaptation of Wise Blood. Definitely one of my new favorite movies. All I can really say is... Brad Dourif is Hazel Motes!
Also been watching some Miyazaki.

The Outlaw Josie Wales. Great movie about the MO/KS border skirmishes during the War Between the States. Based on real-life happenings in Osceola, MO. Now, Osceola is known for it's cheese. Mmmmm, cheese.

What's so good about Cincinnati? You like it? You think Cincinnati is cool? I've never heard anyone say, 'I'm going to Cincinnati on vacation.'

Yeah you gotta watch this on Blu-Ray at the very least. I'll ship you my blu-ray player with movie if you would like Gebre. (BTW you would need to have an HDTV that is native 1080p) |
