>>19901610
Of course but I have an imagination, so they're inferior to books. As stories they have marginal merit. The reason to watch films is because of the photography, costume and set design, acting, special effects - things only film can do.
One movie I watched recently was The Cell, notably starring Jennifer Lopez's buttocks during its brief acting stint. I like this movie because the director had come from music videos and he places most emphasis on the visuals. There are some amazing shots you won't see anywhere else. Lopez's ass plays a social worker who fell into a highly specialized role where she interfaces with the minds of traumatized victims and engages in therapy with them inside their psyches.
Story-wise, it's a by the numbers hunt for a twisted serial killer. However the pageantry of the dream/mind sequences makes it worth watching. It also stars Vince Vaughan as the detective, and Vincent D'Onfrio having way too much fun as the "Bleach Killer."

Cinemafags perplex me. When we talk about the greatest works of literature, they're always some of the most famous and beloved works around the world like Anna Karenina or Shakespeare. When people talk about the best movies, it's a bunch of arthouse shit that no one has ever heard of. I know cinema is harmed by the fact that it's a major business and has less artistic integrity but why can't there be a balance of global recognition and artistry? The best works of art should be universal to every person, not exclusive to a handful of people who are lucky enough to buy Criterion editions of European art films

Movies are hard to get in to if you start with books because the movies considered “great” are nowhere near as good as classic books. Same thing with rock music. The fact that the beatles are still considered the greatest band of all time is a testament to this. Still, there are movies that are as good as almost any book I have read.

>The fact that the beatles are still considered the greatest band of all time is a testament to this.


The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics, instead, are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers.

So true. In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, most rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from.

This hits the nail on the head. No attention is paid to the actual innovations and achievements of rock music. Hopefully, one not-too-distant day, there will be a clear demarcation between a great musician like Tim Buckley, who never sold much, and commercial products like the Beatles. At such a time, rock critics will study their rock history and understand which artists accomplished which musical feat, and which simply exploited it commercially.

Firstly, a film has to make an impression on a superficial level in order to be worthy of analysis or evaluation. For me, Corpus Callosum was one of the most unique things I've seen in any art, and probably the leading example of visual art expressing the ineffable, it was horrifying, baffling, and portentous. However, most experimental cinema I've seen gets caught up in its form and loses any sense of abstraction, so it doesn't reach that ineffable like Corpus does. With that in mind, the many seemingly random aspects of the film could be interpreted in various ways or 'critiques' on our current way of living. How we are essentially cogs in a machine that is feeding itself, and by not expressing it 1:1 to real life it creates that horrifying feeling more. Another aspect, was the completely lack of God and humanity in the film, as if we were motionless automatons slaves to whatever we are told our desires are. If we are to find any humanity or God in the film it'd be in the middle sequence when the credits finally appear when you're given a brief pause to reflect on what you've see, showing that the past and future are determined, but the present is where reflection occurs.
