So I'm watching The Last Emperor...

And I remembered this movie being so much better than it is! It was one of my favorite films in high school... I think it was almost life changing for me, I got into movies after seeing this when I was 14. Now it's just over the top acting and weird accents.

But Peter O'Toole is amazing! Look at him!
I wish I knew what parts of the score David Byrne did.

So, I'm watching Ali: Fear Eats the Soul...

And this film is garbage. I've seen a handful of Fassbinder films and I think I can say with some level of confidence that he is full of shit.

When people say things like "It is nice to talk to someone" while looking off in the distance as the person they are talking to is standing eight feet away and staring at them, you can't help but get frustrated.

OH AND I HATE IT WHEN SOMEONE RINGS A DOORBELL IN A FILM AND THE PERSON IS THERE TO OPEN IT IN LESS THAN A SECOND.

AND I HATE IT MORE WHEN SOMEONE LIGHTS A CIGARETTE, TAKES ONE PUFF AND PUTS IT OUT IN A MOVIE.

For the ladies...

Blue Leader

Blue Leader is my friend, we went to New College together. He was always friendly and popular, playing videogames and partying with the punk rock kids. It was not until later that he assumed the Blue Leader identity. He lives in Baltimore.
