*insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. - anon.* don't know why it boils down to this, but i like the idea of everything being stripped down - i remember being 13 / 14, and when the release date for a computer game came out, i have the sweats, running into the ilford mall and gripping the **** copy of a game with sweaty hands... but there's something different about this release... logan... i'm anticipating it like a kid... but i had a precursor dessert (sort of speak) - seeing clips from logan - and then watching blood father starring mel gibson, i'm wondering: who copied who? they're so alike in these films... i'm starting to doubt whether logan will live up to my kiddy-anticipation... i already know that gibson added the comic-edge to the role... never mind the claws... sure, imdb have it a 3 stars, i never liked reading critiques of either movies, books, or albums: each to his own, after all; it's just such a shame, that american are like butter: easy to watch, while all foreign cinema is so ****** meaty... oh i don't mind the sub-titles, but americana can be watched on-repeat, european films, iranian, turkish, they are always so ****** meaty: notably those provided for the english audience... of course you can have native films that are just as american, as the american movies... i don't know if it's a compliment, or whether it isn't... up in the edinburgh film society, pedro almodóvar was a hit, notably for the film bad education... and those films are just meaty, you watch them once - and then, for some reason, never return to them: perhaps they have the content of a pneumatic drill that drills past your attention, and into your memory... american films rare have that quality - you keep watching them, over and over again, simply because they're so easily forgettable, but it's this "short-memory loss" regarding them, that makes them so fascinating to watch two, three times... the memory loss doubles up with sequels, prequels, rocky 8 rambo 7 terminator 10. i've recorded a few e. i. bergman films, trouble is, i haven't finished watching wild strawberries... i started, couldn't finish... a bit like *** with foreign language cinema: you really have to be in a mood, otherwise it's just another **** by a blockbuster from america.
