But I suppose it comes down to this, for most people, movies are JUST entertainment. They don't take anything away from it (and I admit I like mindless entertainment as much as the next person). They don't see any meaning in film, because they aren't looking for that. When they decide to see a film, they aren't looking to analyze it, or take anything from it, they want a way to pass the time, or have a bit of fun then immediately forget about it. But having a movie you haven't seen on as "background noise" seems a tad silly to me. Just turn a radio on. ;) Oh and I have to say.....its drives me a little crazy when I say I dislike a film and they automatically assume that I don't "get" it. It happens when I mention I am not a fan of Mulholland Dr. I don't know how many times I have been told "well, its just because you didn't UNDERSTAND it". No, its because I think it is a muddled mess and it did absolutely nothing for me. I am a Lynch fan. I just don't like that film. I don't need people talking down to me about it. ;) Its all about your own interpretation of a film, and what you think it is trying to accomplish, and if it accomplished that for YOU. |

:D :p Yet another remake that apparently was just a bad, BAD idea from the get go. Kind of like another one I can name, but won't, because I have bitched about it ad nauseam....*coughblackchristmascough* |

Who seriously DID understand that movie after the first view?? Not many, i'm sure. |

Yeah, but I am assuming that you actually WATCH the films you discuss here. ;) Sometimes thats me as well, sometimes that is EXACTLY what I want. Its why I like so much crap, it purely escapist fun...there is no shame in that. Other times I do want a film to challenge me a bit more. Its all depends on my mood. And no one did.....haha...;) But some people seem to have no problem proclaiming that they did, and treating someone else like they are a complete idiot just because that person didn't happen to appreciate it as much as they did. I have no problem that other people like it, or love it, its when they annoyingly insist something is wrong with me because I didn't. |
I enjoy movies for entertainment 9 times out of 10. I do WATCH them to get stuff from then but I never really pick a movie apart and analize it because everyone has their own opinion on the matter.

I always liked the film, but it wasn't until I went to L.A. and rented a truck and drove the WHOLE of Mulholland Dr. (from late afternoon into the dark of the evening) that I REALLY appreciated the film... L.A. is such a strange little town filled with quirks and contradictions (from the tack of the Strip to the ranches in the canyons), that I feel that he was almost trying to capture part of the feeling and abstract nature of L.A. and Hollywood itself in a film... And that, to me was brilliant. But I digress... Quote:
... But back to THE THREAD AT HAND Today I worked from home and took FULL advantage of the Free movies that On Demand had to offer (I DID accomplish a lot workwise, though... I was keeping them on as... background noise... hee hee... I actually selected movies that I had already seen PURPOSEFULLY so that I wouldn't feel so bad having them in the background)... Event Horizon http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...grl/10m-10.jpg One of my favorite horror movies, hands down, I find Event Horizon was sadly overlooked when it came out. Highlights:
The bit that bothers me: WHY would you make a ship with so many sharp points?! Despite that, I love this movie. LOVE it. A-/A ... The Craft http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...grl/10m-11.jpg Wow. I haven't seen this movie since high school. What a fun little flick. Not to mention, it's refreshing to see witch movies that aren't silly. I think that it works as a witch/horror film as well as a teen high school movie. Toward the end, I feel pathos for their victims, and I actually feel THREAT from the avenging witches, which is actually pretty impressive. And, not to mention, Fairuza Balk is HELLA hot. B/B+ ... The Wizard http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...grl/10m-12.jpg PURE nostalgia. I hadn't seen this movie since my DAD took me when it was in the theater... :) And that was BEFORE Mario 3 came out (good marketing campaign for Nintendo). WOW I had forgotten that Christian Slater was in that movie... I love the little random films that he's done. But anyway... It's a fun little kids movie. Definitely appealed to me as a Nintendo junkie. Not sure if it withstood the test of time, BUT it was fun to revisit nonetheless. B (includes extra points for nostalgia) |
