Reviews on Mubi almost 2 years ago

Hi there, I am pretty new to the forums at MUBI. Please pardon me if this kind of thread has been posted before.

So far Mubi (still getting used to the name though…cough…sob) has become pretty much my only favourite online interactive “community” sort of thing as you can learn a lot about films new and old from the site and the variety of members with such ranging exposure to not only movies but literature etc etc etc.

My little suggestion is if possibly Reviews for films could take equal precedence as Wall posts on their pages/user’s streams. Though I do think it is nice to be able to say a quick instinctive ditty on a movie and to have a mini forum.

Hope that made some sense and would be happy to hear what others think.
Thank you for reading!

Well this is a nice topic.
Jesse, your last photograph of New Hampshire is quite nice. I like the ghost-like feel.

These are some of my drawings:

WHAT IS YOUR PICK FOR THE WORSE MOVIE EVER MADE? almost 2 years ago

2046

Camera movement gets so dull and redundant so quickly.
Marinated in this inanely macho stereotypical bad DREARY noir way that you just want to see torn into bits and tossed in lava. alsjlgkdsaklgdjsalkgjdsklagjd. punch in the face.

Toughest Auteur of all time? almost 2 years ago

I wish I could think of more to add to this list but I really do agree with the suggestions of Jackie Chan, Buster Keaton and Werner Herzog…

The only other person I can think of right now is Yukio Mishima for sculpting himself from a frail sickly body to an angelic muscular one, creating his own private army and living (and dying in) his work to the extreme.
