I like films to be long if they're good. Pay ten euros or whatever I want my money's worth. Plus after all these sixty hour long series the normal one and a half hours seems too short to properly develop characters or whatever. Probably not really an issue in Resident Evil admittedly.

How you gonna hyperbole me, resident hyperbolist?
They are quite good films though when you submit yourself to PWSA's vision.

I really enjoyed them. Thanks for the tip. Very streamlined and kinetic.

I figured that given the way you described Avatar you'd recognize how that reflects in what PWSA did there and has done since.
He gets that idea of making cinema where the visual language of mapping and creation sets is based around the architecture you find in computer/video games.

did you ever see avalon crowley? it is about being in a computer game. what i like about the effects is that sometimes it feels like you're inside a diorama*. with people, objects and explosions being both 2d and 3d.
*actually i mean the effect you create when putting multiple panels at different depths inside a shoebox, what is the word for that?

The Favourite. Believe the hype. Funny, sad, sharp, great script, great acting. Olivia Coleman is going from strength to strength.
I really liked the little modern (or postmodern) anachronisms - something is described as smelling "like a 96-year-old French whore's va-juju", a dancing couple end up vogueing to a baroque chamber orchestra - which are funny but never go so far as to be jarring or to come across as overly 'ooh aren't we clever'. And it goes straight from that to scenes that are downright disturbing.
See it.

That's actually one of the few clangers they come out with that I think could be viewed charitably
I mean, why not learn to be suspicious of superstition from Stevie Wonder?

Just watched a modern film by Christopher Nolan called Interstellar. Pretty cool.
There's an article on the grapejuice blog about it.

I love let's say 1/3 - 1/2 of Interstellar so much that I've watched it six or seven times, despite hating the rest of it. I suppose I love to hate the bits I hate.
What I love:
- the sense of space as a terrifying existential maw
- the (romantic sense) sublime ocean planet
actually it's the Sublime I love in it, I think
despite its 'message' about love conquering all space and time what really excites me about it is that it seems to actually show how insignificant love is

oi corpse, which films give you the religious awe of yeats and renaisance paintings and pure garage volume 2?

Darned cockwombles.
Anyone else seen this? I thought it was really good, but I imagine it's an epic divider of opinion. Genuinely weird.
