  • I used to ask my teacher, and I mean every day, what a semi by the sea was. XD Billy is my favorite~ Goodbye My Lover makes me too sad. I just don't listen to it anymore. ;;
    Yes, and like you mentioned in your post in the thread, he understands the pains of the human heart. It's not this "she dumped me suicide now" like some bands/artists these days. His songs have substance and story. Those other songs just don't. They don't make you feel sad, they just...bother.
    Ah, but sometimes that awareness of a different reality works in the films benefits, usually in comedies. Kevin Smith's films come to mind, and even a few Woody Allen films (Whatever Works comes to mind, with Larry David ranting to the audience). In those cases, it works very well... but in most others, it doesn't, I agree.

    And Tom Cruise is a great actor. He was amazing in Collateral. He's one of the few who I can separate acting work from social life (his personal life is none of our business, really, but you gotta admit, he is a Scientologist whackaloon, I just wish he wouldn't make it so obvious in public). Another one John Travolta, also a Scientologist nut job, but I love him as an actor.
    Lynch has said that his movies are more meant to be an immersion experience as opposed to a theatrical one. He wants to put you in a different world; his world, and nothing else. I think he succeeds with aplomb! Kubrick, with his later works, is the same way, IMO.

    And actually, Cloverfield didn't bother me. I very much enjoyed it. I remember thinking it was going to be a terrible indie-film, and then the first explosion came, and I was dumbfounded. It had some of the greatest special effects I've ever seen, almost rivaling Speilberg's War of the Worlds, which I often cite as having the greatest special effects ever (damn you Tom Cruise for ruining that movie's reputation! You're a good actor, but a social nut job!). Plus the fact that you don't really see the monster (except in quick snippets) was brilliant for a modern mass-chaos monster movie.
    You've seen Eraserhead? Good for you. What'd you think? I believe you have to be a fan of surrealist art (like, paintings) in order to truly appreciate it. And The Shining is one of my favorites by Kubrick! If you only ever see one more, you simply must see Dr. Strangelove, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. It's arguably his best film.

    Also, I watched Tetsuo last night, and it was decent. It had some aspects of your usual experimental film, but there were too many shaky-camera and fast moving shots (I felt like I was going to be motion sick at some scenes). Still worth a gander if you're a fan of surrealist (or Japanese) cinema. However, it wasn't on par with Lynch, even though many people claim it's better. In my opinion at least!
    So, I just got this surrealist movie I've been wanting to see for years called Tetsuo: The Iron Man, which I heard was akin to both David Lynch (like Eraserhead) and David Cronenberg (who did the remake of The Fly), and those are two of my favorite directors (David Lynch actually is my favorite director, second only to Kubrick). Have you ever heard about it?

    You're my obscure artsy stuff pal, so I thought if anyone heard about it, you would. :P
    Did you get a tweet request regarding painted_artist? That's me!

    Or, it might have been karl_vanity, my previous username.

    This would make the best bio ever.
