movies
i've watched a lot of movies over the last few months. i was keeping track for a while but now i've stopped. take a look at the list below and if you recognize a title and wish to engage me in any sort of discourse on the subject, i'd be happy to accomodate. or perhaps it's better simply to marvel at the massive quantity of film consumption that this represents and the pathos to which it portends...

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory can kiss my ass.
Otherwise, I have no such discourse to offer, but one question: Which was your favorite?
Good god - impossible to answer. Agreed that CATCF was worthy of two hershey squirts and that's about it. The only film that springs to mind from my recent consumption spree that managed to stir some impassioned response was Bergman's "Cries & Whispers." Beautiful, surreal, heartbreaking and melancholic. I went into it with the attitude of "Here we go with another depressing Bergman film..." and finished it with more of a "That movie was incredible" feeling. That's always a good thing and, as evidenced above, hard to come by.
An addendum: The HBO series "The Wire" (both seasons 1 & 2) was also compulsively watchable. And while I love the highbrow popcorn value of TV like "Lost," a show like "The Wire" really puts network programming to shame.
isnt satyricon just great. just great.
the rutles movie was soooo disappointing. the only good part was that their US debut took place at "Che Stadium."
i was hoping for less painfully literal beatles parodies or stylistic-cops with new twists, and better, or at least funny vocals.
i guess the studio looting bit was funny too but it carried on too long.
guest appearance by george harrison welcome.
Oh come on, you can't pan the parody music! It was so deliciously Beatles, as though they could have very well written them but decided the evolved versions were better.
