Go Karts are fun. Water slides are fun. Begotten is not fun.

Sound City is a ton of fun, though!

Actually, not too long ago my buddy & I got drunk at his house in Tucson. I didn't feel like leaving the couch to go to bed, so he put on Sound City for me at 2am. I expected to fall asleep, but I watched the whole damn thing. It was nice.

Brave. I was bored with it.

Taken 2. One of the stupidest movies I've ever enjoyed.

Why the hell not?

Watching a 35mm print of Begotten with an audience sounds like a blast, tbh.

Spaceballs.

It's pretty terrible, but just watching on Netflix as the little one takes a nap.

most occupy-related phenomena is divisive, so maybe ruddo's responding to that? or just berkeley in general? certainly tying occupy to what's culturally understood to be the worst kind of poseurs makes sense, if you don't like the politics of the movement or the city. but that might not be what's happening in ruddo's post.

i'm not sure who is interested in the film. either way, i think there will be just as many people at the screenings for the film's politics as there will be for an experience of film. i'll be there for both. and because wiseman is an wonderful filmmaker. (this sort of addresses harry's exasperated "why" in the Begotten post--cause i like seeing all kinds of movies, bruv.)

also, last night i saw Grudge Match

Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows. As disappointed as I was in the first one I was as pleasantly surprised and delighted by the sequel. B+ :thumbsup:

Marooned (1969)

Clumsy & outdated at times, but kind of eerie considering it was just a year before the Apollo 13 mission. Some good performances out of the cast as well. Had some similarities to Gravity as well.

Man, I'd love to be around for the coffee shop discussion afterwards.

Of course I'd go to this screening knowing nothing about the movie, but having seen it already? Have "fun", I guess.

I reckon discussions about Begotten are about on par with discussions about Tree of Life in terms of bemused analogies, wild gesticulating and sophomore-year lit crit lexicon. But, I'd guess, depending on your crowd, and the number of empty beer bottles on the table, you could trawl through all that and stumble onto a kernel or two of insight.

:lol:

Sophmore-year lit crit lexicon? That's more than once here now someone relegated movie discussion to a year in college academia. Do you teach this stuff, platy?

And I want to know your insight on The Tree of Life, plat.

I actually got myself into a pickle in school. It was halfway through my film studies courses that I realized that I wanted to help make the movies instead of write about them. Oh well.
