Is it bad that I never bothered with Avatar? After a few chavs I know of spaffed over it on their Facebook statuses it never appealed to me. I really should watch it now the hype has gone.

Sky 3D is the one that's really pissing me off. Football in 3D, their slogan is it's like being there. I have a season ticket and I can honestly say there is NOTHING like being there. They are just a bunch of twats wearing silly glasses in a pub. But even if we don't need glasses which I admit would be a major break through, but I still don't really see the point. Like someone else said all you'll do is say oh that's cool, I guess.

Meh. Suppose.

That being said, I can appreciate newer trends, I'm not completely anti CGI, I just don't like how it's replaced everything and how generic so much of it is, but when CGI is done well, I have to give credit where credit is due. The best CGI takes a lot of hard work and shouldn't just be shrugged off simply because it's CGI. I'd still love to see a revival of more traditional effects though.

I'm also an advocate for responsible capitalism and I think 3D is an important tool in helping the film industry grow and as the industry grows there will be more opportunities that the more artistic and ambitious types will be able to pursue.

At least they're trying to move it on, after colour, sound, computer technology. They could quite easily just say well we've done all we can. So at least they're trying to push things. But I can't help but feel if they do take it any further it isn't going to be as good. I hope I'm wrong and you're right and after they develop 3D it will be an absolutely brilliant thing, revolutionary, life changing, changes the way you see film etc. But right now I just can't see it.
Let's hope in a while when everyone is in love with it after people initially hating it, you can turn round and say you've always loved it.

I dug it. I can kind of see why a lot of people I know didn't, but I did.

Still on my Fellini ride (there's a Fellini festival in one of the theatres)

Yesterday:

I'm still loving Giulietta Masina, that girl is incredible. I loved the movie. The ending was a bit too dramatised, the film would've done great without the last 7 minutes. Still, truly good.

Today:

It's about time I watch this one. Luckily, I didn't watch NINE ahead, as all the ones who did, found themselves disappointed by the later.
I'm pretty sure, that movie made his way into my personal top 3. Just beautiful. It just rendered me speechless. I think that is the time I most identified with a character, maybe being a screwed up film-maker myself was the reason why. I don't know what to say about this one, just incredible. Perfect.

Corazón marchito (2007)

Watched this one a few days ago. It's definitely predictable, but that usually doesn't keep me from enjoying a movie. They don't all have to twist and surprise.

For the 10th time I watched (after purchasing):

^

I've seen that film more times than you. I once had a girlfriend who owned 3 films, that was 1 of 3.

I've seen it about 50 times I reckon.

TheCunningStunt · 04-10-2010, 12:36 AM
