"Fluffy Bunnies in the Village of the Happy Idiots"

66.74.72.231

Mmm,

That's a good question. In my old age**, just about everything that appears in the mainstream movie world produces a queasiness of dull repetition. I would forgive the excitement of deja vu, but just the same formulaic structures and themes has gotten me a bit depressed. Thats' when I look for some of my old favourites and a good Bunuel, Truffaut, Hitchcock, Wyler, Capra, Fleming helps.

** I'm so poor in maths I can't tell any longer if was born in 1965 or am 65 years old.

There have been movies in the recent past that break the mold in a refreshing way and even with their faults, the Coens "Hudsucker Proxy" and "Brother, where art thou" , Kaufman's "Being John Malkovich" and "Adaptation", and quirky things like "Lumiere et Co" are bright spots that help counteract the aesthetically delibilitating effects of "Matrix Reloaded".

When I get crochtety I begin to fantasize these action movies begin using live ammunition. All that violence without death is contrary to nature and the presentation is contrary to art.

On the other hand, the typical "Fluffy Bunnies in the Village of the Happy Idiots" is not a solution and I find my reactionary self putting too much trust in John Waters..

Hey Mish, what are you watching these days that stirs your spoon?

Cheers,

Bambi B
