I loved “Dancer In The Dark,” even the handheld camera work. but large screen, front row, WAS a bit much.
I admit that i was a little bit underwhelmed when i saw Jeanette Winterson speak. And I know that authors have their prepared speeches and do their best and probably wish they were at home with a cup of cocao and their cats. But it seemed a little flat (and I’m a big fan of her work)
And was annoyed that “open seating” meant “open anywhere past row 572.” So much for me showing up two hours early to get front row.
I have sometimes found it hard to tell when someone wants encouragement, and when they are actually setting boundaries which it is not nice to cross. Ah, the tricks of being human.
Oh, and “The Legend Of Druken Master” is so great. :)
I like breaking the fourth wall every now and again, especially without the characters realizing they’re doing so.
Part of this strip is about: when I go to the movies, i SO easily slip into the reality of the film, it’s unnerving (and also why I avoid scary films)
I remember this debate going through my head as I watched “In The Mood For Love.” Henry represented the side of how (I think) they intended it, and Bruno represented my skepticisim. Now I’m curious to atch it again. If I recall, the cinematography and soundtrack alone were worth it.
I remember after seeing Rushmore being SO excited for the Royal Tenenbaums to come out, and loving it. Love Wes Anderson’s work or hate it, but what a talent.
