and talking about movies, i just saw "american history x". makes my top 20 maybe but i have some doubts. it is very okay at times since it does not really take sides, it shows there's bad stuff on both fronts. still, there's a bit of moralism and disgusting political correctness at some points. there's some fine intuitions and good characters, plus spot-on aesthetics, but still it's not worth "do the right thing" as a movie on racial conflicts.
not that it has anything to do with it, but i want to see "summer of sam" again - the only one of my faves that i have seen only once. now that was something profound, showing under multiple viewpoints how idiotic it is to adhere to the rules of a given group. in my opinion, that was the message - _do challenge_. fucking punk. hyena (i wish i was in love. i wish i wasn't) |

Out of lack of things to do I went and attempted to watch most movies out in the cinemas, here in .nz . I can't say I was overly impressed at the quality of story telling in the latest Hollywood flicks. Movies like Dragonfly and Hearts in Atlantis I found to be quite dry plot wise and overly un-original, most of the plot progressions have been done a dozen times before. Episode II I enjoyed the 1st time but I don't think I will be able to sit through it again, especially the "romance" progression which was overproduced sentence structure wise. Concerning the comedies, my initial believe that most comedies are aimed at the child's mind was once again confirmed. Panic room was a true waste of time, but then again one did get the fact that the plot was based around a room from the trailers. Queen of the Damned I found to be a shocking bastardisation of the 2 books (Vampire Lestat, Queen of the Damned) that were attempted to cluster into 1 and a half hours.

@hyena: spot-on aesthetics shall be your new way to convey the message "half-naked edward norton with a swastika on his breast is an image to drool over for life". quick and to the point.
 second that about summer of sam myself, really good movie. rahvin.
