Re: Are you seriously claimin' right now? Kubrick

Aw, man -- this is starting to take on all the characteristics of a Mac v. PC debate . . . :-/
 
Re: Are you seriously claimin' right now? Kubrick

What the bloody are you talking about PC v. Mac. There's no bloody comparison. The mac triumphs.

So Say I.

Weak minded? Not even close.Two hours or 20 minutes, I didn't like it. :P
 
Re: Are you seriously claimin' right now? Kubrick

Yes, Brad. The weak of mind believe that movies are here only to entertain. they will waste two hours of their lives in front of TWO FAST, TWO FURIOUS or BIKERBOYZ and feel that their time is well spent.

I lead the life of the mind. Therefore, when I go to waste two hours and twenty minutes of my life, I expect to have an epiphone, whereby the rest of my life is revealed and I re-evaluate the path I am on. I dont go to see movies. I go to the Cinema. I bow down before the almighty ashen Monolith.

Usually all I get at the theatre is a free CD Single with a Large Coke. Are they giving away Les Pauls in Austrian theatres?

If Kubrick is not our god, who then shall it be? The only other earth man that even measures up with Kubrick is the Uninvited Kid. He wails.

You all know the motto "Opinions are like assholes..."

Mine is that Kubrick was an amazing and influential filmmaker and a true auteur. 2001 is one of my favourite all time films. Anyone has the right to disagree.

I read a letter in a film mag the other by someone slagging off Seven Samurai. :o

I was actually talking about receiving a guitar (epiphone) when I showed up to see the film. It actually happened, but that's another story. Good catch. After hearing sustain on that baby I knew my life would change. Try it with some distortion on it.

Oh, I will so agree with you there! Few movies that make it to the screen are anything but a waste of film stock.

But, like I said before, each of us pulls different things from films. Some just want mindless entertainment. I'm sorry for that, but they are welcome to it. "Therefore, when I go to waste two hours and twenty minutes of my life, I expect to have an epiphone, whereby the rest of my life is revealed and I re-evaluate the path I am on." --That doesn't sound like a waste of time to me
 
Re: Are you seriously claimin' right now? Kubrick

I can't help but wonder what a Kubrick Devotee would think of the films if it were possible for them to revisit the films with absolutely no knowledge of Kubrick or this "Kubrick mystique." If they could view the films with true objectivity would they then proclaim the person who made those films a genius? Maybe, but I doubt it.

It's like trying to tell a Morrissey fanatic that Morrissey isn't a God. There's no answer to this debate and probably neither party will budge.

An amusing dorm-room trick which gets boring after the first time you try it, and usually even before that unless you're under the influence of something. Ancient history.
