So are you an anarchist a la Tyler Durden?
I think I respond to the movie really well because of the philosophy behind the characters. Generation X and all. Well, beauty lies in the eye...
Part of my problem with the movie is that it seems to be the one art film all the philistines enjoy. Obviously, that isn't the movie's fault, but it still irks me. I don't have any great critique to level against it, it just isn't my type of movie. I admire the screenplay and the performances from Pitt, Norton, and Carter, but it isn't something I reach for to watch again for enjoyment.
Sorry, missed that completely. If I don't die from the flu in the next few hours I will retort.
Hm. No reaction to the whole Fight Club thing I posted? And I think a lot more people would love IB if they stopped seeing it as a movie written and directed by 'that guy from the amazing Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction'. And in my opinion, Kill Bill sucked balls.
I didn't really notice them. I did read an article that pointed out so few scenes there are in the movie. I think it was something like 16. I am just afraid Tarantino is going to buckle under the pressure when making his next film.
Btw, the chapters in Inglourious Basterds. Didn't they annoy you? It breaks the atmosphere a little.
Oh come on, bro. It was perfect! Just messing around. It is my favourite movie of all time though. And it is kind of the perfect movie. No flaws I've discovered so far. (Though there was the filming of a bag of groceries in the end I didn't use to like, because it wasn't really functional and I wondered what Fincher filmed it for, but I've come to realise that he wanted to show that it's cans of beer falling on the ground. They wanted to watch the whole thing while drinking. Or that's how I sleep at night, telling myself that. And the fact that in the beginning the fat guy says something different before he presses the main character's face against his tits from how it goes down like 5 minutes later, can be explained by the fact that the main character shows everything through his eyes. You see it how he shows you. So it doesn't have to be completely right. The first time the narrator tells you about that, it's more meant to be funny, his face pressed against a guy's tits. The second time, it's the actual story. Right?) But I think you have to be able to identify with the main characters and their philosophy to fully enjoy the movie and everything behind it. Also, I'd like to mention that my initial plans in High School were to study for director. Filmography or whatever it's called. But my parents wanted me to do something 'decent', being parents and all.
I am reluctant to answer. I liked it, but I am not part of the "Fight Club is Perfect" fan club.
Do you like Fight Club?
It is my favorite film of 2009 thus far. It is glorious.
Did you like Inglourious Basterds? I'm guessing you did, and I think I recall a positive comment about it on your blog. I only read it briefly, once.
Dude, I'm constantly on MSN. Different time zones...
Film is my passion. I could talk endlessly about it. If you were ever on MSN anymore we could debate!
Yo James. I was browsing through your blog and was surprised by the quality of it. I didn't know you were a true film fanatic? So am I. I really like this little bit: Believe me, if my profession included TRANSFORMERS and G.I. JOE I would have many more 1 and 2 star rankings. Later, Rags
