The 'Bang Bang Bart' scene from season 4 Simpsons, aside from being funny on that inimitably offbeat-but-not-actually-surreal kind of level, is a great example of how well back in the day the showrunners were able to understand their characters' peculiarly woolly minds (the scene is Marge's brief mental detour into…

I wouldn't mind seeing Monarch as a lead villain in a space-spanning instance of the DC cinematic universe, provided it ever reaches that phase.

That's why I love early Kate Bush music videos. I wouldn't mind seeing someone who had the guts to shed all distracting and pseudo-professionalism-enhancing elements and stage an amateurishly executed dance in the woods that would mercilessly draw all the attention to the performer's performing skills.

Black Narcissus is a beautiful film in a very calm and assured manner, possessing a kind of stateliness which seems impossible to find nowadays in current output.

A match made in the IMDB user ratings heaven.

The list of some of the films I have watched in August (in descending order of enjoyment):

I've been teetotally cut out from the Internet for the last two weeks, and I take immense pleasure in being completely oblivious as to all the matters concerning the Olympics, Suicice Squad debacle and the accelerating expansion of the Universe.

Pretty, pretty, pretty good, ya corporate hoopleheads.

I hope they'll get Infinity and Eternity right. I like my visualizations of philosophical abstractions starry and colossal.

The list of all theater releases I have watched in July (in descending order of enjoyment):

And then add his business acumen and all those body-wracking mid-air splits… I'd say he is a great example of being truly committed to a chosen activity and valuing constant, raw and uninterrupted self-expression as a way to live one's life.

Yeah I remember reading about how his old manager once came by his house to check him out (this was an early period) because Prince hadn't been answering the phone, and he tried to knock the door but didn't get any response. Then he heard some faint noises coming from the basement floor, went in that direction and…

I didn't know how to feel about that aspect at all. I appreciated the dramatic build-up and resolution, but during the walkthrough the game instilled in me a sense of dread like few pure horror games did, which conflicted with the more grounded psychological foundation of the story once crucial details started to…

Counter-intuitively, it'll be shot like a paranormal-activity horror movie, with flickering lights and eerily long corridor passages.

And while we're STILL at it, I've been always fascinated by the fact that one of the few adaptations of Flannery O'Connor's prose in recorded history was made by a Russian director - namely, Valeriy Todorovsky, who based his debut feature on her short story 'The Life You Save May Be Your Own' and which was in the…

If anyone's interested, esteemed screenwriter Aaron Sorkin is conducting a Q&A on Reddit at the moment.

Watched Café Society and liked it enough to want to see it again. I am a sucker for deep-focus cinematography, and Storaro pulls off the compositions masterfully, ornamenting the planes of action with details and securing ample opportunities for a viewer to devour them by gently cleaving the space with carefully…

Wow, the director of this film apparently left a comment in the Spoiler Space article discussing the ending a few days ago. I think that's a precedent here.
