we have 3 major movie festivals every year (march, september, october), and usually the one in october offers us the oscar contenders. I unfortunately couldn't see Shame, because it was just one big clusterfuck, and at the end the major media got a chance to see it. think about 450+ people trying to get into a 140 seat theater. figured i can catch it another time.

also saw The Descendants



an all right film. not alexander payne's best compared to about schmidy and sideways, but it executes properly.

and i don't think i have posted the trailer for this movie yet, and i have been touting this movie for a couple of months. :P

Yeah, I posted this movie trailler some time ago.

Easily the most talented Olsen, apparently.

So Leopold, are you involved in film reviews or some other facet of the industry, or just an avid film goer?

Originally posted by Halcyon+On+On Transformers is an arthouse film that elaborates on the dangers of technological encroachment within our society. The presence of the decepticons is analogous to the presence of devices and vehicles which serve to separate man from his earnest nature by way of self-preservation, and their status of control over individual spheres of safety given the avarice of the developed world. Even their name, decept-icon, entails a certain reverence for their ability to shift within society as tools of man, and lord over him when it suits their destructive directives. The ubiquity of commercial presence in the film is in fact meant to be an ironic take on the delivery of advertising in our modern age, as it flaunts it directly and without reservation or coherence, as if to say we are drowning within the deluge of profitable information by way of entertainment as the new standard for competence. The director of the film, Michael Bay, is a subversive fellow staunchly opposed to corporate funding for his works of art, and mocks the fellow Michael Bays of the industry by ensuring an ironic explosion every 30 seconds. It's as though he is saying that, in our world, everything is combustible - a witty comment on the malleability and dichotomy of social and physical structures. Meagan Fox stars in the film as an everywoman disguised as a supermodel celebrity, representing the inevitability of female empowerment in intuitive roles. Her stolid grace is a juxtaposition on the expected role of women in vital roles of emergence (government, leadership) wrought with the summary expectation of obviously sexist individuals who might idolize her own devices for procreative ritual - which I believe is where the film comes full-circle. If we are to interpret the existence of encroaching mechanical beings as our competetitors for ideological codependence, then certainly there is a place for the machinations of biological imperative within the true understanding of our evolutionary future. Thank you, Transformers. Thank you.

been looking thru this thread to find something to watch tonight, and i just had to say, fucking lol.

John Hawkes and Michael Shannon ought to both win an oscar sometime in the next few years. Wouldn't surprise me in the least. I thought Hawkes deserved it for his supporting role in Winter's Bone, and Shannon delivered oscar-worthy performances in Revolutionary Road (should've won supporting, imo) and Shotgun Stories.
