definitely....damn....

Loser......Couldn't even stay awake long enough to see two nekkid chicks getting it on......Men......


~R+R...

That's all well and good, but it's easier on the brain to rent a porno movie than to watch Mulholland Dr. if you wish to watch nekkid chicks getting it on.

Just because you can't comprehend an artist's work doesn't make it worthless.

Thank you!

(Speaker's Corner type rant coming)

Who belittles something or someone because they don't understand it? Is it out of fear? Do these people have to feel they have handle on everything in order to feel safe or smart?

Nope, sorry.
I just think that some moviemakers are either out of touch with an audience, in which case they make a film that just doesn't "reach" the audience, or they are trying desperately to be enigmatic and "offbeat" and they end up making pretentious shyte that no one understands, but many people like to pose as though they understand.

To me, a movie does not have to be comprehensible by the lowest common denominator in order to be good -- I watch some "complex" movies now and then -- but when it is impenetrable, I think it's a waste of time.

Do you really mean to imply that I must be just dumb or something? Do I write like I'm the kind of dullard who can't understand an "art film"?

Frankly I'm more afraid of people who aren't open to different or new things and alternate ways of looking at the world. After all, if you have such a limited view -what happens when that view doesn't work anymore? Who calls a nobel laureate stupid and denegrates her accomplishments because of an unpopular theory she expresses?

Ooooh, thread-bleed. You're talking now about what I said about that Nobel laureate who claimed -- but offers no proof or evidence -- that HIV is a biological agent that was deliberately created! You defend people spouting off unsupported nonsense as "new ideas," and scorn anyone who challenges their legitimacy? What if all we ever did was spout off "new ideas" and never analyzed them and challenged them for proof of correctness? We'd be inundated with nonsense, and all of that nonsense would make equal claims of being valid, but most of it would actually not be. How would a bunch of new ideas, each made with a minimum of evidence if any, no matter how crackpot, floating around benefit humankind's understanding of our reality?

[replyPersonally, never understood or even was able to follow David Lynch - even Twin Peaks. Just heard about the girl-on-girl in Mulholland Drive.

i understood it just fine.... this is th emovie where the cops try to figure out why they found a chick splatedinto the ground and come to relise it is because she was pushed out of a plane.... it's been a few years (likemaybe 4 or 5) i think since i've seen it......... can't rmeber al of it right now....

You're thinking of Mulholland Falls. Not the same movie.

And whatever you do, don't confuse it with "Arlington Road."

That was one disturbing movie!
