This movie is pissing me off the more I think about it, lenny.

leave the house, go for a walk...this isn't worth doing something you'll regret later

Too late.

Tangerine.

Ok, consider me a big Sean Baker fan...I loved Starlet and with Tangerine he just stepped up his craft. The movie looks GORGEOUS and it was shoot on a fuckin Iphone...great music, great cast...
Whenever i see one of those corporate boring movies like the skeleton twins ill remember his movies.

This is indie film fuckers. This is cinema.

Did you read the book, A?

[The Argonaut]

No, but I'm going to now.

No, but I'm going to now.

The movie is a pretty great adaptation. But the book is special. The whole thing is told from Jack's POV. Some of the changes they made make sense given the difference in mediums but I think overall the book is stronger and I missed some of the literary elements.

A couple of the changes didn't quite make sense, but they're fine. The author of the book wrote the screenplay, FWIW.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I rewatched Prometheus last night, and had my original opinion confirmed: aesthetically stunning (to the point where it plays like a classic in that respect - maybe the best digital cinematography ever), but dumb as a bag of nails. Just staggeringly awful in terms of themes, characters, and writing. Which is such a shame, because there's a great movie in there that's screaming to get out. So glad Scott is gonna make more of these with different writers.

It also occurred to me that I would love to see Ridley Scott make a Middle-earth movie.

Yeah, I have the same love/hate relationship with this movie. If he goes the way it is rumored he is going for the follow-up, then I am very excited for it.

I liked Prometheus. *shrugs*

It's certainly not a great movie but I've never understood the hate. It was fun and mysterious and I enjoyed it.

Archeologist discovers the aliens that created all human life. Is disappointed because he "wanted to talk to them."

The biologist tried to pet the Hammerpede in the cave and died. The BIOLOGIST, Joey!

Also, "barren woman" plot devices are the stupidest, laziest things ever and I hate them with a passion.

I heard that the plot of the next one is going to be someone travelling to the Engineer's planet. Is she the main character? Has Rapace been cast yet?
