Re: Mental Illness and the Movies

kiley — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:33:09 -0000

not that this has all that much to do with the post, but if you like 'one flew over the cukoo's nest' (and i DO) dont' read the book. please. i beg you. It will change the movie for you and not in a good way...not in a good way at all.

but to further explore the question put before us - movies can make u sick. Especially if you're emotionally immersed and invested in what's happening before you. They can affect ur mood and seeing open displays of 'mental instability' can send u reeling in that direction. But i suppose they can 'heal' too, which is why I think it's good to keep a few back up movies to 'cleanse the mental palate' or act as a chaser after you watch the ones that are...'unstable'...like Quills...sheesh...

OMG! I LOVED THE LAST UNICORN!! heh heh heh...when ur a young child u let movies get away with a lot: laybrynth, dark crystal, unico...legend....looking back, movies for kids in the 80s were really dark and meta-physical, (Flight of the Navagator was very disturbing to me, probably should give it another watch now i'm older...)and i mean 'Dungeons & Dragons' was a saturday morning cartoon!! times have really changed...

and OMG professor doctor! I LOVED BMX Bandits and The Dirt Bike Kid!

Did you say "soap and Tabbouleh" (the mediterranean parsley dish?? ) or "soap and Patchouli" (Expected)?

Cool video, and congrats. :)

Re: Today’s Podcast: Francis Ford Coppola Interviewed

Yep, one can think of it more like painting than 'film' or chemical based photography. The obvious, early effect of this is that a moving away from the real - or the sense of the 'real' - but it'll come back. - it's like all those crappy images one saw after Photoshop was released - just because a PS Filter exists doesn't mean one has to use it.

whoa, ok, that whole part about digital film allowing the artist to compose the film was very profound! I've had a negative (ok, seriously NOT a pun, i SWEAR!) view towards digital film, getting afraid it was making things too...sterilized...too easy for the artist...(should all art have a degree of suffering? idk..but it feels more 'real' if it does...) but when he said that it gives the artist control over the light levels, the colors, just the entire shot has COMPLETELY reversed my thinking!

Re: Latest Podcast: ‘Brüno’ and ‘Public Enemies’, Part 2

kiley — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 09:21:31 -0000

haven't made it thru the whole podcast yet, but felt compelled to say, "exactly!!!" to jett's bruno review! just had a very VERY similar conversation with my own Belfast-ian best friend ;) - he sees no merit or worth in anything that sacsha barron cohen does (except his attack on the NI politicians as ali g). I do NOT think ur reading too much into it, jett, cuz i saw/felt the same things! EVERYone was in on the joke...and that's the joke, or statement, rather.

now on to the Public Enemies review.... :D

you must do this. it is ur legacy.

plus, you know, it could be rife with symbolism that you and the good professor doctor can argue fervently about (c'mon there's got to be a 9-11 reference in there somewhere!!), much to our enjoyment and amusement!!

dance monkeys, dance...

kidding!!! ;)

'classic' meaning we actually live up to our strapline by disagreeing on films! we'll see what happens with 'the taking of pelham 123'!

Re: ‘Audience of One’

kiley — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:08:13 -0000

first off, blame my jaded mentality and natural cynicism...(and granted, i have NOT seen this film/documentary, so anything i'm saying is compLETEly pre-judgmental and NOT based in fact :P !!) BUT...the whole idea of it seems...well...pre-fab...i mean, who decided to make a documentary out of this and why? (and yes, it bring to mind 'Lost in LaMancha' right off the bat..) i checked out the website, but that only brought more suspicious questions to mind - like, what are the filmmakers showing us here? what's their purpose? how NOT to make a movie? or was it's motivation more like a nature show, where the documenters have to sit back and let the shark eat the baby sea turtle, knowing the little turtle was doomed to failure? it's seems more 'entertainment' than to inform or document something - i know, i know, like i said: blame my natural cynicism! apologies all round! i may be vastly more open minded after i watch it...(congrats btw, professor dr! :D )

Re: Lars von Trier’s ‘Antichrist’: Theopoetry or Cosmic Joke?

kiley — Wed, 27 May 2009 11:50:05 -0000

my mother was an eschatologist, so i actually read hal lindsey when i was a really young (haven't heard that name in a loooong time! LOL) and all that 'end of time' talk/studying i grew up around did was successfully turn me into a 'well-read' atheist who has never been scared by a horror movie...ever ;) - so it still to this day does kinda 'intrigue' me about how modern, 'civilised' people can believe in such a... varied, horrifying, mythical end, pinning all the 'evils of the world' on one person, who is the exact literal opposite of the 'christ' figure, hence the ANTI in anti-christ, dur da dur ;) ...but i mean, then u go back to the argument of did good begin evil, or evil begin good and can either really exist without the other? - except in reality all of that is moot since these are both intangible concepts and don't really exist anyway...ok, ok it's too early for this, i know, i know - i need coffee ;)

BUT, after reading the linked reviews, i think i have to see this movie!

i agree that the story is the main thing and i can suspend my logic as long as it's drawing me in

...like in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure....

*cough, cough*

all i can say is: way to take one for the team!!! once again ya'lls dedication is proven, cuz there was NO WAY i'd even go near this...thing... (Honestly? I have a hard time seeing Tom Hanks outside of 'Bosom Buddies" or..."big".."batchelor party"..."the money pit"...wow, what happened to THAT tom hanks?!...THAT tom hanks woulda ended up a cylon on bsg!)

now, to add my two theo-political-pursuit-of-happiness-in-media cents: as far as dawkins/hitchens being 'throw aways,' - ultimately, since the dawn of man, there have been people that believed in god(s) and people that don't, and it will always be that way. Now whether or not the pursuit of science is akin to the pursuit of faith is debatable, but it does make for great screenwriting fodder because it's a 'collision,' if you will, that is eternal and affects the common man - so way to drop the ball on that one ron howard! ;)

and just what is a 'symbolist' anyway?
please tell me that is a dan brown created term and not an actual career...sounds like to me that Indy knew more about symbolism and the church than any tom hanks 'symbolist'!
