Was on in the background today, meant to be a bit of feel good film but was really badly done.
Films which you can see were intended to be deep and meaningful but were just crap

I deduce that you watched the wrong Solaris...

On a bit of break...
At last! Someone who feels the same about this turgid, pretentious crock of shite!
I know a film buff who said Welles nicked a lot of the effects from earlier films btw.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Bitter Moon - first film I ever walked out of.

One small step for me
Oh god yes, that really sucked. It sounded interesting in reviews and it started off ok for the first 20/30 mins, but then it got incresingly pretentious and incoherent, and in the end it was just tedious. One of the most disappointing films I've seen for a long time.

Maybe I like the misery
I've found a new one: The Fountain. Truly abysmal. Unintentionally hilarious at times though.
debated whether or not to respond for a while, realised the possible futility in either and decided to krishnamurti it for my own entertainment.
first i'd like to apologise for what i'm about to say, it's long and probably pointless.
lately i've found myself seeing less and less i percieve as new.
i ask is this maturity, is it because i think a lot, am i becoming jaded, broadening my horizons, learning, depressed, enlightened, losing imagination?.. and many other questions.
i imagine it may be a common thing anyway, i am 22 and have not seen a new perspective (which i've not imagined or used) in any art bar andy kaufman for six months.
the rate at which i've felt like i've seen something before is multiplying, to a point at which i have started just to appreciate things that provide one of the ways of looking which i prefer.
END OF BULLSHIT
anyway donnie darko was entertaining but crap.
not sure if the film makers set out to make it deep meaningful, but a lot of people who i know thought it was, and they were tossers.
it's hard to type irony but... and i was way more depressed than any of those farts who thought it was.

slight system overdrive
I commend to you a semi-defunct artistic form: books. Due to the lack of budgetary constrainst they tend to represent a much wider range of perspectives than films.
i retract my previous statement, you sir/madam are right. i should have said apart from books.... i genuinely thank you.
i do read a bit, used to a lot til i became incredibly lazy. anyway thanks again. good advice.
donnie darko was entertaining but not in any way "deep". The weirdo spooky sci-fi/fantasy aspect of it was very weak.

This weekend I spent 5 and a half hours watching 1900 and concluded it was one of the worst films Ive seen in sometime. Considering the on screen talent (De Niro, Depardieu) they treated the subject matter with no sympathy, with a complete lack of insight and with little character development. Rubbish.
