That's just total bull****. He was many things including an abstract painter and artist.

You've never been so wrong. In all of the arts there are defining moments in their history where the game is forever changed. And those moments are in no way nostalgia. They are critical links in the chain of the art's history.

There was abstract painting before Picasso and then abstract painting after Picasso.
There was modern classical music before Varese and then modern classical after him.
There was horror writing before Lovecraft and then horror writing after him.
There was electric guitar before Hendrix and then electric guitar after him.
There was pop/rock albums before Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper and then...... you get the idea.

Has nothing to do with nostalgia. It has to do with critical turning points in the evolution of a particular art form.

To discount that stuff is just plain stupid.
Either you copy/pasted that or you've been repeating it for years to the point where you can trot it out at a moment's notice. Either way it doesn't mean that Sgt. Pepper necessarily deserves all the mouths that suck on it.

And I never said anything about how good it was either. Just that Rolling Stone magazine can't talk with the Beatles dicks shoved so far down their throat.

Off the top of my head. Main point being the praise isn't simply old people nostalgia.

Half a century ago, using archaic recording and studio technology, those dudes came up with **** like this?





When was the last time you really listened to this stuff?

This is called Cubism. Abstract art is a separate thing, Picasso is too grounded in reality to be considered an abstract artist.

Again, bull****.

Surrealism

Franz Cline would have been a better example.

Your way of refuting my comment is to post a painting by him that isn't abstract?

OK, so I now think Alfred Hitchcock is like the greatest director ever. I've already seen his four highest rated: Psycho, Vertyigo, North by Northwest and Rear Window. What should I go for next? I've got The Lady Vanishes on DVD, so maybe that?

Frownland 09-13-2016 12:06 PM
You should watch his show.

JGuy Grungeman 09-13-2016 12:08 PM
You assume I haven't experienced its sheer beauty.

Watch The Birds next. Then Dial M for Murder, Rope and The 39 Steps.

JGuy Grungeman 09-13-2016 12:12 PM
Sounds good. Thanks.

Janszoon 09-13-2016 12:14 PM
Oh, just thought of another good one: Strangers on a Train.

JGuy Grungeman 09-13-2016 12:31 PM
Stupid plot, but Samuel L. Jackson was awesome in that.

Frownland 09-13-2016 12:37 PM
I've had it with these mother****ing conspiring murderers on this mother****ing train!

I don't think Samuel L. Jackson was making movies in 1951.

The Witch

Holy ****. That was amazing.

Spoiler for Also,:
there were no witches. There was sooooooooo much work put into the cinematography to maintain an element of realism to the film that flies in the face of it simply being the supernatural. On the scenes that step away from reality a bit, a few of my initial thoughts are

The witch bathing in the newborn baby represents how women of the time had to give them life or allow them to ascend in status.

That sick bitch in the woods raped Caleb!

The ending was a metaphor for Thomason's selling herself to another farm to survive, as it is the only world she knows. In addition to point one, she knew little happiness in her home life and the small joys in her life make her happier than what she knew with her family.

Caleb coughed out the apple because...I have no ****ing idea.

EDIT: Oh, that's right! I forgot they were shouting about serpents and **** in that scene, which is obviously an Adam and Eve reference. So...the witch and/or Thomason corrupted him and it became his death or...something. I'm still not too sure on this one.


I obviously should and will watch it again. It's not like it doesn't have a crazy amount of replay value though.

Blue Ruin

Hitchcock revolutionized the concept of suspense in film, but I think that Salnier makes some of the most nailbiting scenes in film history. So far, he's kind of built his premises around capitalizing on that talent of his in that his characters are in totally new and hopeless situations while sticking around for two hours. The acting was out of this world, too. I liked the intimacy and overall premise of The Green Room, but I'm with the general consensus that Blue Ruin is better.

Talk Radio
https://cdn.pastemagazine.com/www/ar...0radio%202.jpg
I really like this movie. This is the second time I've watched it in a couple years.
If only I could find more movies like this: Movies driven 100% by dialogue.
Movies that manage to feel snappy and driven, dramatic and interesting,
despite being all about dialogue and monologues.

Movies I know that fit this category:

Talk Radio
My Dinner With Andre
Carnage
Glen Garry Glen Ross
Good Night and Good Luck

I need to find more. Anybody have some good suggestions?

CJ21 09-14-2016 01:46 PM
Latest first time watch: I watched Suicide Squad a few days ago. It definitely didn't deserve all the flack it got.

I watched Deadpool for the third time last night. I love dark humor.

12 Angry Men not being on your list disturbs me. Have you seen it?

I have been told to watch it a 1.000 times but still somehow managed not to. I have no explanation.

Frownland 09-14-2016 02:17 PM
You know what to do.

I added it to my watchlist. No idea why I always forgot about it previously. It was always one of those "oh yeah I should probably watch that" movies.

JGuy Grungeman 09-14-2016 02:26 PM
12 Angry Men has one of the best cast ensembles ever. It felt like the cast was a real jury, not just a bunch of great actors.

Walking into Blair Witch right now. Will post thoughts

Easily in my top 5.
