In Reply to: Tvarscki's Solaris (aka A Tunnel Too Far)? I admire your perseverance, but I found it a non-addictive cure for insomnia. posted by Audiophilander on January 31, 2007 at 19:46:07:

I'm aware that I'm like everyone else and seek instant gratification. Maybe that's not what heaven is about.

Now try to do it in one shot, you will get a much better impression - Victor Khomenko 09:57:35 02/01/07 (8)
It is kind of funny to hear the complains about this 3 hour masterpiece from those who had wasted many hours on trash like LoTR that does not engage a single brain cell.
Solaris invites you to think, to meditate along, and its slow pace makes it perfect for that - instead of just gobbling up the shit some Hollywood maker shovels your way with no pause or break.
View it in one shot, you will see what the artist is trying to tell you.
Don't you folks EVER sit by the lake watching the waves and fish playing? Are computer games all you can now swallow?
How about poetry? Art? Are you like those Japanese tourists parading in quick pace through the Louvre's rooms? I saw this... check... I saw that... check... next room...
- Japanese tourists?? - cfitzger 12:22:52 02/02/07 (1)
  Sounds like a stereotype to me. Might make objective movie reviews problematic.
  - Well, maybe Korean - Victor Khomenko 12:42:35 02/02/07 (0)
    Doesn't sound like you've been to Louvre.
    Or maybe you've been there, but looked at paintings instead of watching the crowds. Do better next time.
- You tell 'em Victor! - ArdRi 14:12:50 02/01/07 (3)
  Good Art like the Schubert String Quartet in G major D887 op.post.161 i just got in the mail and your VK-200 is driving into the room is good Art.Solaris is Good Art.If Don Juan Were a Woman,which i watched last night was not such good Art but BB sure had a cute tush, alot cuter than Ian McKellan's.
  - Maybe you should send him some chocolates: - Audiophilander 14:34:36 02/01/07 (2)
    Although Victor probably prefers Sherbet to Schubert if the truth were known. ;^)
    - Wow slamming Genius... par for the course i guess. - ArdRi 14:41:31 02/01/07 (1)
      Truth be told this is the first Schubert work I've ever owned.I don't regret the purchase and it doesn't need Grey Poopon either..
      - Uhhh, no one is knocking your taste in music or film, but... - Audiophilander 22:09:51 02/01/07 (0)

        ... if you insist on mercilessly stroking VK's ego when he makes a jejune recommendation then the team of proctologists who've been working around the clock to extract Victor's cranium from his rectal cavity may fail in their heroic efforts even before the application of grey poupon lubricants! Trust me, send the chocolates, but be discrete (don't tell patrick that you want to be Victor's Solaris mate, ...it's too close to Valentine's Day). Just teasin'! ;^)
        Cheers,
        AuPh :o)

  ... that you're still deluding yourself that it takes more than one brain cell to engage in the consumption of grey poupon (pretentiously symbolic, plotless & plodding, euro mustard slathered film fare).
  > > > "Solaris invites you to think, to meditate along..." < < <
  Yeah, to meditate with your eyes closed; it's called s-l-e-e-p-i-n-g! ;^)
  > > > "...instead of just gobbling up the shit some Hollywood maker shovels your way with no pause or break." < < <
  So, you think that slathering on the grey poupon makes your Euro-$#!+ taste better? ;^D
  > > > "View it in one shot, you will see what the artist is trying to tell you." < < <
  Perhaps, but a shot of fine single malt is usually preferable to a shot of cheap vodka, don't ya think? ;^)
  > > > "Don't you folks EVER sit by the lake watching the waves and fish playing?" < < <
  Yeah, my grandmother used to sit by the lake watch the waves and fish in her declining years, and that was boring as well. What's your point?
  > > > "Are computer games all you can now swallow?" < < <
  Why is it that you assume everyone who doesn't see the 'vision' as you do is automatically into video games, is brain-dead or whatever? Heck, not everyone dresses in Napoleonic panteloons and rattles their collection of cuttlery at folks to get their jollies either, but whatever floats your dinghy!
  > > > "How about poetry? Art?" < < <
  LOL! Why should anyone look to you for art or poetry recommendations? I realize that you have an ego bigger than the Film or Outside board has bandwidth, ...but sheeesh!
  > > > "Are you like those Japanese tourists parading in quick pace through the Louvre's rooms? I saw this... check... I saw that... check... next room..." < < <
  Ummm, have you ever considered the possibility that it might be the failing of the tour guide rather than the tourists? ;^)

  However, I disagree about Lord of the Rings. I don't think those movies are trash.
