I realize I took forever to get around to this, but believe it or not, finding/getting a job takes up time and priority. Over the years I've become the biggest Tarkovsky junkie so I figured this...

...and I thought "Shit, I've just graduated college with an emphasis in film studies, and I haven't talked to those guys from back in the day about everything I've learned!" So here I am. Reading...

The film should be swell. Thermopylae is the quintessential Spartan event. The trailer seems to convey that feeling that Sparta was a pure war nation.

So, now that I'm settled into college I can finally return to the filmleaf community with a banner over my head. Since I'm taking a program that allows me to view a classic Russian film every week or...

Your eccentricity always warms my heart, Johann.

I'm ordering a shirt right now.

An animated mascot named Old Man Jubis.

Sometimes Oliver Stone really excites me; then he makes sure to beat me over the head with his themes so that I'm confident in what he was trying to say.

Spoilers herein:

Some of the film was...

Actually, in the movie they're in their 30s as well. So it works out.

I'm a fan of Chasing Amy as well; Smith did a really good job of keeping the comedy sophisticated yet low-brow enough.

I agree with many of your points, and I additionally think that Kevin Smith is applying the same convictions that Dante and Randall ultimately have to the films that he makes. It's obvious that Smith...

I hope I'm not derailing too much by asking what you disliked about The Deer Hunter.

I usually make popcorn for me and my parents so that they won't talk. It's a fair trade, in my opinion.

One of my crowning guilty pleasures is Kull the Conquerer, starring Kevin Sorbo. With a...

Never mention that blasphemy again. Superman hasn't been good in the comics for a long time, in my opinion.

I'm going to catch it again tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have established more.

Brilliant. Just brilliant. It's films like this that spark ample discussion and emotion that I really look for on major occasion.

A Scanner Darkly is about the effect of drugs on individuals,...

Indeed. Catwoman compared to Zod could make an interesting essay. ;)

Let's just all pitch money for an official Filmleaf IMAX that's portable.

I don't think I've disagreed so much with Ebert in one of his reviews as much as I do on Superman. He claims that Brandon Routh can't pull off the Reeve performance. As I was watching this...

I'm sorry. I'm confusing even myself now.

Never would have guessed, since Oscar is so fond of using radiant colors in his posts.

See, this is the type of stuff that becomes circular.

An ideal liberal goverment has no rules whatsoever because everyone feels inclined to help one another anyway.

Essentially, what you always end up with is a conservative government. Anarchy simply isn't in the veins of humanity's current direction. The only way anarchy can be achieved is by a complete lack of...

OK, then I'll use a different example. Today there is a huge argument going on about the artistic merit of video games. While I side with Ebert on his convictions that they aren't, I feel I have a...

double post :(

Trust me, the ending in the book was much worse, although it ultimately does a better job of conveying ideas than the film.

While I love Fight Club, I hate its fan base for the most part, because...

I was discussing with a friend about the splendor of Birth of a Nation, and we got to pondering about how it would be received today. Let's just say, for all intensive purposes, that even in this day...
