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.
