That's why I stick with Alicia - I am glad someone is even more clueless than I

Sometimes you just want a movie to enjoy, like free massage at the Venetian.

And don't underestimate the staying power of the gems like Dirty Harry and Die Hard! Great films? Fornicate, yeah! :)

Greatness should be defined as excellence at achieving the intended goal, not being able to subtly tickle some Cambridge pseudo-intellectual's ego. Ali was a great fighter, Feynman a great scientist, however different intellectually their respected pursuit might had been.

Waiting for my third DVD of Satantango, rediscovering the joy of watching the paint dry! :)

"Satantango?" Strange. I just re-watched for the fourth or fifth time, "Werckmeister Harmonies." Each one - tinear 12:58:43 12/02/11 (1)
has shown me a different something, made me ponder something new. Tarr's "Damnation" is one of my very favorite films--- the lead character just seems to embody "modern man," perfectly.
I wish Netflix had a hardcopy of his "The Man from London." It was available streaming, and I streamed it, but I dropped my streaming account and now I'm shit-out-of-luck. Tarr's latest, and he has said his last, isn't available yet at Net at all.
- So far I think The Man from London is my favorite films of his - Victor Khomenko 15:30:57 12/03/11 (0)
  There are, to be sure, some stunning images in Satantango, but I think they are more piercing in TMfL. Also, due to its "normal' length the film is more "together", more poignant, focused.
