what is this super mario week

You can follow a rose wherever it grows.

I agree. This show starts as a dance party and is light, light, light, so the chanting is a bit more tolerable. My fantasy is that each episode of the show started like it starts now, then slowly morphed into an audience-less, band-less, long-form, podcast-esque, interesting one-on-one conversation between Stephen and…

I want to kiss you.

troll!

I'm a massive, massive PTA fan. I've seen Sydney, Boogie, Magnolia, Punch and Blood at least 20 times a piece. I walked right the fuck out of the theater in Inherent Vice. You can't just throw away the 'order' portion of a film because the content of the movie is about the 'chaos' of a druggie, or the 'chaos' of the…

Hmmph!

You're confusing existence with capitalism. Adorno hates you.

Ford was apparently a very widely and well read man, and very, very smart. His films are extremely subtle and mature artistic works. Nothing flashy. Hmm, wonder why Tarantino doesn't get it?

The actual content of his masterpiece is a deeply felt, deeply understood screed against racism. Made in the 50s. And the perspective has to be from the Anglo Saxon side, that's the story that was allowed to be told at the time. He does some subtle things to give the Indians a face from within that context. Subtle.…

Well, you're supposed to have grown fond of the characters by the time the dance scene comes! If you have, then it's charming. You really have to open up to John Ford films, really watch them actively. They are old-fashioned as fuck. But if you get into them, you'll soon see hilarious and deep, subtle things in them.…

"I never experienced the terror of the nuclear threat! It's not scary!"
"Uhh, couldn't you, like, imagine it?"
"But that's not scary! It's not real! Only real things are scary!"
"You know that, despite the threat of nuclear annihilation not being as bad as it once was, there are still tons of nuclear weapons, right?"
"…

Never read the flashforward that way, but that's a good way to read it. Tarantino is such a tool. But it's hard to admit that his best movies, especially Pulp Fiction, aren't sexy as all get out. The shape of that movie is just pure perfection. He is a cinematic savant without a thing to say. A hot girl with a perfect…

I don't think people think Frank Capra is good. But John Ford is the absolute bedrock of cinema. When Orson Welles was asked who the best three directors were, he said John Ford, John Ford, and John Ford. When a rockstar of cinema praises the old fogey of cinema like that, you know he's getting at something. And Elia…

The Searchers is quite likely the best movie ever made and is explicitly about racism. The main character is so racist he wants to kill the girl who has been kidnapped by the other race, because the girl is irretrievably tainted by being around the other race. Late in the film, it's revealed that one of the most…

My guess: 1. It costs more to bring back an actor/actress for a sequel. 2. The producers quickly realize that the women characters in movies that get sequels are there for nothing more than their attractive bodies, so they are easily replaceable.

Yeah, his humor is underrated. A Clockwork Orange is absolutely hilarious at points.
