NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN!
BLADE RUNNER: THE FINAL CUT!
BEOWULF in IMAX 3D!
They're all out now, and I need to see them all, like, yesterday!!! God, it's been so long since there's been one single film I've been simply itchin' and dyin' to see, and now there are THREE! And everyone else has a head start! GAHH!
I hit up an animation festival at Rehoboth beach yesterday. Those are always mixed bags, but rarely uninteresting. But I mainly went because of the two brand-new Don Hertzfeldt shorts! Half of the fun was listening to the confusion and frustration of the beach patrons who've clearly never seen REJECTED.
The man is amazing. Even a genius, perhaps? His latest short, THE MEANING OF LIFE took four years to make, from which he did it all entirely by hand, no computers. It's a real step up in terms of ambition and scope for Don, because while there are distinct similarities to his "I am a BANANA!" style, he's also shooting for grander ideas rather than simple surreal humor.
I still don't quite have any idea what THE MEANING OF LIFE and EVERYTHING WILL BE OK were about, but I can't wait to see them again.

DO EET. Sutherland compells you.

You know what sucks? LUST, CAUTION only played at ONE theater in San Francisco. What happened to our reputation as a libertine city???!?!??!?! Arty Ang Lee porn should be shown at least in five different theaters here!

Date: 2007-11-11 07:43 pm (UTC)The actual content of the BLADE RUNNER final cut sounds dubious (they clearly have Roy say "father"? I so dearly loved the ambigious way he desperately sneered, "I want more LIFE, father/fucker!"), but the remastering is supposedly absolutely fucking gorgeous oh my god see it on the big screen wow..

I am shocked. Shocked!

I blame Mayor Gavin Newsom. Sure, on the national political scale he's a progressive leftie, but he's all about selling out to big business and developers, and as an ugly consequence, we has NO PORN.
