Random Social Chit-Chat v. Illuminati Confirmed

I watched part of the first season and liked it , but probably need to rewatch if I start over.
 
Wife got me the Criterion editions of The Life Aquatic and The Grand Budapest Hotel <3 ended up taking the $50 my grandma gave me and buying myself the Criterion edition of The Darjeeling Limited to round those first two off (still want more Wes Anderson!) as well as the StudioCannal edition of Delicatessen and a special edition of Images (1972). Very excited to put them all on the shelf, got a great collection going now. Might need more shelves :rolleyes:

I cannot for the life of me find even a decently priced used copy of Salome's Last Dance (1988 ). I've searched pretty hard. I guess I'll have to bid for one on eBay? Cheapest used copy I found was for $80 on Amazon... I mean come on, it's a frickin' Ken Russel film!

Are you deadset on having a hard copy? Looks like it's available to stream via Amazon Video, probably at a better quality than DVD. Just FYI.

I guess not. At this point it seems a waste of time. Or maybe I can get a decent mp4 rip from somewhere. Store it on my permanent drive.
 
I was just sitting out on the porch, smoking my second joint in twenty minutes and something occurred to me.

Forest Gump said "My mom always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

I've never really thought about this sentence, until just now.

I have a couple of issues.

1. You're going to get chocolate.

2. If it's a variety box, there's literally a fucking legend* telling you which one is which.

*I realize, perhaps, there didn't used to be. What the fuck did they do, just guess if it was going to kill them?

I'm starting to think maybe Forest was the smart one of the family.

It's possible I'm too stoned.

Yo bird up! They actually tell you what is in each different shaped chocolate? Not true in the USA

Thoughts on The French Dispatch? I am hearing polarized reviews, even from Anderson fans. I am definitely going to watch it to form my own opinion.

It can't be that bad . . .

:confused:

I saw it in theaters, I think I reviewed it in the what film you last watched thread at some point.

I enjoyed it. Being episodic it wasn’t all great, some parts were better than others. I didn’t really like the part with the French students so much but that’s just me. Otherwise I enjoyed the whole film. It was quirky and better than most movies I saw in 2021.

I always drink when I see movies, be that at home or the theater these days. So I might enjoy films more than I should lol. But some I couldn’t drink my way through... house of Gucci I had four beers and I still hated it 😐

As I watched it, I felt like the movie was really "grinding my gears," so to speak. It felt much longer than its running time IME and sometimes seemed so frivolous (visually and narratively) that I started to feel irritated in a vague way, even a little pissed-of with Wes Anderson.

Still, I usually enjoy his movies (Grand Budapest I liked quite a bit) and I appreciated the attention to cinematography, not to mention the presence of a couple dozen top-shelf actors from Europe and N. America alike.

A few weeks later, I read @MydriHaze's review of the film on here, which started me rethinking it a bit. After I asked him to expand, he gave me a very thoughtful "argument" in favor of the movie, reminding me of its merits and value...

So I'm almost persuaded now that I judged French Dispatch unfairly at the time. I'd just need to get around to watching it again so I could give it a fresh look, which may not happen for a while. I'd be interested to see what another Bluelighter thinks about the movie, if you see it.
 
I have developed a tolerance for film and television. Now, when I watch something, I feel nothing. My friends watch the same thing and they are blown away. So, it's not the gear. I find it increasingly difficult to engage with fiction. I am overexposed to the unreal world. I need to interact with actual humans.

No amount and/or combination of drugs fixes this problem.

I need to remove screens from my life.

I need to go non-digital.
