I've never had that kind of instantaneous experience with any one work of art.The Color of Pomegranates , and that movie fucking changed my life . Seriously. My outlook on life has not been the same since I saw it. I didn't even know art could be that , do what that that movie does. What an awesome fucking planet we live on. Being a human being is amazing.

Oh, also while I was gone, I watched The Yearling , which was the fifth-best movie I've ever seen in my life.

Babadook was decent but I spent the first 40 minutes or so hoping the kid and mom would die horrible deaths. I can't tolerate bad parenting/annoying kids. On of the rare horror movies that actually improves when the baddie shows up.

I thought it was a pathetic male fantasy full of facile social commentary. Gilliam has become very smug. It doesn't suit him.

Oh heavens no. I skipped through it on netflix looking for scenes where RZA tries to do kung fu. I expected laughs, but mostly it just made me sad.

I've never seen the first one. Is Russell Crowe really in it? That can't be right.
