Very little in the way of quick cutting?!?! Dude, have you seen this film? The quick cutting is nauseating. It's just a bunch of quick cutting, interspersed with explosions and people smashing through glass. It's horrible. I'll never understand the credit guys like Emmerich get for his action scenes. Maybe in 1996,…

Really sad, one of the last of the great 20th century poets :(
Rest in peace, you fine gentleman.

Nope. Art has no responsibility to show another way.
Nope. It isn't 'supposed' to do anything specific.
Nope. No artist has any responsibility to seek out an individuals view of the world and validate it for them.
Nope, that isn't the whole point.

They are the stupidest worst people on Earth? Really? Really? May I ask how old you are? I hope for your sake you're a teenager because any adult who would actually utter something so unbelievably asinine an stupid shouldn't be allowed to engage in politic discourse. It has about as much depth of intellect as me…

That's fine, you just get to miss out on masterpieces like Annie Hall, Manhattan and Hannah and Her Sisters then.

Ah what bullshit. If you are comfortable with separating art from the artist (as I  and many others are) then there is absolutely no reason to feel any sort of guilt for watching them. At the same time it's possible to do this without minimizing the shit he did.
I do like how you added "more or less" solely to cover…

His worst review is easily Blue Velvet. Just complete and utter nonsensical rambling.

Can't be any more hackish than what Bukowski actually produced. Terrible poet.

Personally, I'd much rather directors/filmmakers cast actors that they think are best for the role or want to work with the most, instead of working myself up into some self-righteous superficial offended state that they're white…butbutbut the characters aren't white…ahh, fuck off. Both quality actors, however I'm…

Yeah that was a really odd comment from Bourbon. There would be no awesome 40's noir without the 30's groundwork. Not to mention the 30's delivered some amazing films anyway.

Thank Christ Gilligan didn't read too much Hegel, Marx and Sartre…or we might've ended up with something as self-indulgent as this shite.

I'm no fan of The Expendables, but I am glad Gibson is back acting. 

Nonsense. Was one of the major players in Realism becoming a huge movement in Novels and literature in general. Not to mention she was highly regarded for her wonderful wit and her style and she's managed to create lasting books and lasting characters that have stood the test of time for a couple of hundred years.

Yeah, I'm really enjoying it. Have only been reading it in small chunks because of general busyness, but I'm a big fan of the picaresque nature of it and Bellow's style is pretty joyful to read.

As far as great films that should be immortalized either for their aesthetic or influential qualities by a high quality brand like Criterion…TF is so far fucking out of it's league, it's not funny.

Sickening?

1. Manhattan
2. Crimes and Misdemeanors
3. Hannah and Her Sisters

Bashevis Singer is great. I like to read a story a month in between reading other things. I think taking him in smaller fragments keeps his recurring themes and plots fresh and alive.

Certainly no more strange a choice then the laughable decision to grant 'Tiny Furniture' a criterion release. Laughable.
