Hey man, I loved the comments you had to say in the "Black Swan" thread! Great way of deconstructing their broad/vague statements and getting to the core of what they are trying to express. It's funny how many people will just say "It was boring but hey, everyone has a different opinion" as if the conversation stops there and they don't have to discuss anything. As if their "opinion" just sets them off the hook and it's final, nothing can be argued. Great stuff! And yeah, I can't wait to see "Black Swan".

Fantasma

Fantasma

Phantasmagoria is the projection on smoke, the pre-cinematic origins of moving photography in an almost 3-dimensionality. Thus, we have Lisandro Alonso’s Fantasma, which is none of those things—simply…  read review
