My Bengali heart swells in pride

Terminator Salvation, The Road, Book of Eli felt really grey. Re: green, maybe I'm misremembering. Probably blue.

Forgot where I read it but the filters used are predictable genre to genre. A lot of sci fi films now use green filters (think Matrix), post apocalyptic movies use grey, horror movies use blue. Things in the desert and the 70s are almost always yellow.

The worst part about the existence of Prometheus is the cancellation of the At the Mountains of Madness adaptation by Guillermo del Toro.

Wasn't it shown that because of Snowden another insider has begun giving information to the journalists? I bounce my boyfriend on my lap all the time. Don't pretend you don't enjoy it as well.

Yeah, I wouldn't try to make Take Shelter out of Birdman. The most straightforward and thematically satisfying interpretation for me was of his opposing desires to either pursue a career like Robert Downey Jr. or maintain his artistic integrity to please the likes of that critic. Those visions were simply physical manifestations of conflicting desires in a personal crisis (not a mental health crisis). I agree. Gallinger was the only character whose personal life was interesting in any way. The most ridiculous part for me was how everyone in the Knick turns into model citizens during the riot where the episodes leading to it they were tearing apart Algernon.

lol at the Black Swan praise. Citizenfour: 9/10 There's a moment at some point in the movie when it hit me that all this was real, and the scope of it felt astronomical. I don't know, it was disturbing.

I don't recall my teenage years being this experimental. I also didn't get what you were implicating until I looked at the picture url. I thought she was biting a book at first.

I am all ears

Not sure where else to post this but I've been on The Knick marathon, and with two more episodes to go till I am done with the first season (which feels more like a long movie), here are my thoughts: - the strengths are typical of every science related Soderbergh film I have seen to date, be it Contagion, Traffic, Side Effect, etc. It is as accurate of the topic as you can expect within the constraints of Hollywood, and Soderbergh seems willing enough to lose the general audience if it means presenting the matter in all its complexity. - the scenes in the operating theatre are a masterpiece that can stand on its own, there is a lot of clinical gore but not without an utmost level of tension - visually the jerky camera gives it a documentary feel, the techno music is something that feels odd at first but it's hard to imagine any other soundtrack as the show progresses - the characters are very wooden, and following arcs I found hard to understand. Scenes away from the hospital feel forced. Despite that, they provide a nice flow in the storyline. Nothing remarkable but glaringly weak when compared to the clarity of direction of things less personal - Clive Owen plays every flawed antihero you've ever known. - All in all, I am going to give this an 8/10 so far mostly due to my bias for the subject and its execution. Thnx glassjaw for the rec Didn't like this movie at all tbh, the storyline was a fairly pedestrian coming-of-age tale with a lot of logistically impossible lesbian sex scenes. Screamed "look at me DARING to push your mainstream boundaries" all while being very bland. Shame, another graphic movie, is amazing and relentlessly dark. The latter might be a huge turn off but you should check it out

She lies, she really does enjoy it. Can't decide what's worse, pornhub video titles or 50 Shades erotica (wow, holy cow) Humblebragging like a pro

Have any of you read excerpts of the book? It's mind boggling that women find it so titillating because from the excerpts I have read, it sounds like a child who just learned how to add talk about astrophysics. http://badbooksgoodtimes.com/2013/02/27/fifty-shades-of-grey-sexy-excerpts/ holy cow I know you'll be watching it with your wife. Happily.

Even the trailer looked $&!#ty. I wonder if cast and crew ever view the finished project and think "Goddamn, this is $&!#ty." after all the hard work. My girlfriend has purchased tickets for 50 Shades of Grey next week for a group of friends. I have 7 days to catch Ebola, AIDS or chlamydia. pray3me

What was your opinion then, in case I had misinterpreted it? Because from what I understood, you said this was the movie revolves around PTSD and the horrible stuff in war, thus it is strange to consider it to be propaganda in anyway. What I got from the movie was the things that troubled Chris Kyle the most was that he didn't do enough, not the things he actually did which were terrible on their own right.

No I think the assertion that the movie focused entirely on PTSD is an inaccurate one, I am not criticizing the film for it, I am criticizing your opinion that that is what it was. I see it as an ode to an asshole who is in equal parts villified and respected in America so Eastwood took the safest route to offend the least number of people and PTSD is a good cover from being too politically critical. I personally think you're overstating the prevalence of PTSD and the angle it was approached in. Chris Kyle in the movie was never regretful about the things that he did to the Iraqis, and that was never contemplated on. I don't expect a self-flagellating contemplation on the war but it's well expressed that all that matters to him and others is what happens to the soldiers even though there is a scene where a kid is tortured with a drill. The only humanity there is to be lost is when an American is hurt. It is unfair to think of it as a "generalization of all Iraqis" but it was pretty offensive in its portrayal of anyone non-American, period. A good example of portraying unknown civilians with depth despite having little screen time is what Hurt Locker achieved, in situations identical to the ones in American Sniper.

Did you see the supposed Iraqis doing their best impression of scared barn animals incapable of doing anything but bleat like idiots? Or how about the Syrian sniper looking like a Pirates of the Caribbean extra that the Legend needs to beat in order to save the world? The "othering" in this film is about as archaic as it can get in modern cinema. The movie didn't really focus on PTSD to the level people who enjoyed this movie claim it did, as if it was some central theme. It wasn't. I digress. I think the most harmful kind of propaganda is the kind that isn't outright obvious. I spent the whole day yesterday randomly asking people I knew if they knew who Beck was. I was the only one who didn't it seems....I really have no explanation for this one.

Everything about Outbreak was a crime against humanity
