If he is of sane proportions, the symbols will fall without permission, often a mind will attract symbols unconsciously, I think that is what subliminally attracts a cinematographer or a director to a certain aspect of an image. And then there are directors who approach their films with a certain geometric method to subliminally trap an audience; we are naturally lured by shapes- Blade Runner is a good example of subliminal undercurrent.
I tell you, a lot can surface in these moments; stupidity and ignorance has found a face. A face that in my opinion shares a very flawed perspective of a great majority here.
An ignorant man has his own definition. He closes himself as a child, tuning only the imprudent hum of his own imagination. I pity the executioner who is forced to sanction himself.
It had it’s moments. It reminded me a lot of Gus Van Sant’s My Own Private Idaho in style. I have a hard time calling this a noir though, even a modern noir, but then in it’s own world, it’s hard to really identify the genre, it’s so original. It’s very much a psychological film centered on a slightly undeveloped sense of reality. I’ve always enjoyed drifting characters, the ones who never really settle. A tad bit off subject, I just watched Barfly again, and that has a sort of gin soaked noir touch to it, I love that film.
Jesus, you poor lad, The children are gnawing- should have set a disclaimer in the thread title (only for those who have seen Harold and Maude) nothing like the wrath of cinephiles. But for those who haven’t seen it, it doesn’t ruin it, an 80 year old woman is bound to die sooner or later, and do we really want the love story of a pubescent teen and his grandma, ending in the bliss of their love? I guess it’s up to the viewer. I see Maude as more of a wise friend who happens to fall in the place of Harold’s first love, and unless your first love occurs in your forties, it never lasts, so in a sense her death is more of a passing on. DISCLAIMER (Only for those who have seen PETE’S DRAGON)Like the devastating ending of Pete’s Dragon, left me in tears every time, WHY? WHY? WHY? Disney you heartless bitch, bring back my dragon!!!
I do highly recommend Harold and Maude it’s brilliant.
Haha where do I sign up? How much fun would that be, to write fortune’s for a living? I can’t even remember the last fortune I got, probably something about having an increase in prosperity, and I can’t say that has proven to be… fortunate. And yes my dear friend, Macro applies quite nicely. I hope I don’t come across as a malevolent man with sharp claws, I just enjoy the masquerade- I come in all shapes and sizes.
Don’t you just love the wording of them? They never relate to an instant happening, it’s always, it will SOON be yours, in reference to Prosperity: it may be that your loved ones end up pitching in for a coffin that was slightly more expensive than the plastic one, yet, only they will be the ones who judge the accuracy of that fortune; or the sunny day FOLLOWS the rainy one, so if by chance it’s raining and the sun comes out the next day, shit, you better get back over to that Chinese restaurant and see what’s going to happen next… or for lack of anything better to do, enjoy another cookie. My first fortune for you “At the end of every thread, is a new beginning.”
I just found out today that many directors use Masonic symbols throughout their movies (i.e. triangles, suns, pentacles, etc.). What do you think about these subliminal messages put in films as propoganda for the Freemasons? almost 3 years ago

So "Annie Hall" is OOP and no 16x9 enhanced version exists? Has the world gone topsy-turvy? almost 3 years ago
I’m assuming that most everyone owns Annie Hall, so that seems like a good enough reason to go OOP.

How can you enlighten ignorance? The only defense in that, are the words that have already been paved.
