@Yanlee: Ah, Jacob's ladder.
Yes, that was good, I especially liked the unexpected ending.

I think Kubrick was the master of technical finesse, sound, and lighting. The dolly shots in the shining are just one example. I watched a restored print of 2001 on a big screen (and I sat CLOSE!) about 5 years ago, and I COULD NOT SEE ANY GLITCHES in the space shots!!! Lucas had to go back and re-edit star wars to get that kind of perfection 25 years after he released the movie!Originally posted by Mr. Sleep:
<STRONG>As for Kubrik being the master, i am not so sure. He certainly was a master of his trade, but he didn't exactly do that many films, what he did was good, but he has a limited back catalogue to assess. (IMO) Now Hitch, that is a master</STRONG>

3 of the best films ever made thoughThe saddest example of a director who couldn't color between the lines and ended up with a failed career and a paltry output because of it was....Orson Welles.
Indeed i am, i had a question, did/do you go to film school or anything similar, i think i heard reference to it before.<STRONG>Anyway I wanted to get back to you on this, Sleep, but I wanted to wait until you were awake.</STRONG>

i read some king ages back (can't even remmber the title) and wasn't very impressed. I must read some sometime but i currently have 3 other books too read.Originally posted by THE JAKER:
<STRONG>I think Stephen King writes a lot of stuff that works incredibly well on the page but would be very hard to film effectively, that's why so many of the film adaptations of his books sock so bad!</STRONG>
I'll try not to jump into different tangents quite so quicklySleep I am going to respond to your last post one point at a time because I can't keep it all straight![]()
Ever seen Metropolis?Anyway so we had film classes in the lit dept. The cinemAH professor I mentioned before taught a class in "New German Cinema" - my favorite director was Fassbinder.
Oh i agree entirely (DeckardPosted by Rob-hin:
<STRONG>I'm wathing Lost in Space, right now, MAN this movie blows!</STRONG>
I love Pulp Fiction. A suggestion...You should see "Snatch" if you haven't already. It's a newer movie with a great cast. Brad Pitt is the only name i can recall right off, but it follows the lines of Pulp Fiction, and is hilarious. I think i might have enjoyed it better than Pulp Fiction, actually.Originally posted by Yanlee:

I very much agree, CE. I understood the social contexts when i watched it, but those types of movies, for the most part, are not my thing. And watching it so late at night didn't make it any better.Originally posted by C Elegans:
<STRONG>@AJ: I interpret "A clockwork orange" as a future dystopi where sex, drugs and violence are just kicks to get out of an empty and meaningless life. It also puts up some interesting questions about human nature and the possibility to change it, about fate, justice, integrity and free will vs indoctrination/brain washing. It's a limit breaking and limit questioning story, so to speak.</STRONG>
