this is a pretty good interview with rod serling, talks a lot about censorship.

Thanks for sharing.

 

Really incredible how far ahead of the times the Twilight Zone was.

I went to the opening night of Einstein on the Beach in Melbourne on Wednesday and its fair to say that it was the most incredible performance I have ever seen live! Memorizing. If you get the chance don't miss it.

Upstream Color is such a disappointing film. :-(

 

 

 

Couldn't find an english subbed trailer, but the whole movie is on Netflix.

[leprechaunupindatree]

I have mixed feelings about Synecdoche, NY. On one hand I liked it: I enjoyed watching the truth's first (the film), second (the play), and the third (the play of the play) derivatives interact to give you something true, time's nonlinearity, and Philip Seymour Hoffman's performance. But on the other hand I did not: I thought the message became muddled in the middle, making the movie hard to follow,* and all the allusions to other books/movies/plays confused the message and made it seem as if the writer/director did not have anything unique to say, at times. I think I'll rewatch it sometime in the near future though, just to see what happens.

 

Maybe this was on purpose though. Hoffman's character said, "I want to make something true about all of it [life]." The message at the beginning and end was clear and concise, but muddled in the middle. This parallels the evolution of our understanding of the world; cleanness that is associated with young age, the confusion that stems from the realization that life is far more complex than you realized in the middle, and the wisdom that comes with old age. But I am very likely over thinking this entirely.

 

 

Every time I rewatch pick up something new. Welles is pure genius making it all the more tragic because he could've made so many more films if Hollywood would've given him a buck to make a movie or on the off chance they did, allow him full artistic control.

Thats cool, man. I would really like to start watching more of these once I finally finish The Sopranos.

 

My Great-Uncle starred in an episode of "Hitchcock Presents" in which his character tries to murder his wife as cheaply as possible so she doesn't spend any of the money he saves by being so cheap. Haven't seen many other episodes though.

 

Anyway, watching this tonight.

^Let me know what you think of the movie. It is on my to do list.
