I probably shouldn't mention that I also like Lost In Translation (though not as much as some people) :P<br /><br />I'm a bit behind of films featuring Ms. Rodriguez actually. I haven't even seen the Machete films yet, for example. So much to watch (and play), so little time... :|RetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-60491120360711186402014-07-26T23:53:30.868+01:002014-07-26T23:53:30.868+01:00I wrote a long response a few days ago but the sig...I wrote a long response a few days ago but the sign in crapped out on me. To summarise, I failed to understand the attention this movie garnered, being altogether slow and pointless, devoid of any significant entertainment value. It slots neatly behind Lost In Translation in my list of movies to recommend people avoid. Thankfully the Academy has refrained from praising such tosh in recent years after a long run of Oscar winners to be avoided.<br /><br />I watched Turbo last night, that was a far better film. Also featured Michelle Rodriguez, so I expect a positive review here soon ;)Antiriad2097https://www.blogger.com/profile/02860596708400244053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-66635945252846358312014-07-08T11:02:06.036+01:002014-07-08T11:02:06.036+01:00Wow, very profound sir! :)Wow, very profound sir! :)RetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-56361315486683091352014-07-07T23:43:07.701+01:002014-07-07T23:43:07.701+01:00Makes you think about our place in the scheme of t...Makes you think about our place in the scheme of things. We're all wrapped up in our own bubble worlds, assigning great importance to this or that. On the one hand, we could say this is what makes our life so important. On the other, we could be brutally honest about the scale of our failings, and how we are just one creature of billions on one tiny rock.<br /><br />It's frustrating that both of these contradictory statements are true, as it leads you round in a circle back to where you started: lots of questions without definitive answers! Ultimately, this reveals our true contradictory nature. In spite of all our contradictions, our myriad qualities balance out just enough for us to be marginally progressive over long periods of time. This very complex balance is mimicked throughout the fabric of the universe.Lukey Firebeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08048168897735233897noreply@blogger.com
