Margo Channing is a true icon of the stage. She actually had her big break when she was just four years old in "Midsummer Night's Dream," where she played a little fairy. And get this—she wandered right onto the stage completely naked! She’s been a superstar ever since that moment.
-You're Norma Desmond. You were a legend back in the silent film days. You used to be huge. -I am huge. It's just that the movies themselves have gotten smaller. -Aha. I knew something felt off about them.

If I remember correctly, he plays some kind of high-tech smuggler cowboy type.

Just two guys cruising along in a car, surrounded by nothing but flat plains for miles: -I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this. -I was thinking the same thing. -that John Denver is full of shit , man.
😁 😁 😁
Stupid and even stupider
I just can't help myself; I always end up laughing at that scene. 😁
Honestly, we only have a tiny handful of truly talented film journalists here in the States. Everything just seemed to go downhill once the internet took over, because now any random person can just scrape half-baked information off some website and call it news. On top of that, editors at most major daily and weekly newspapers tend to treat film journalism like it’s nothing more than celebrity gossip—you know, just endless coverage of who’s getting married, who’s splitting up, or who’s out there making headlines for being high or drunk on set... just that kind of nonsense.

Speaking of Nomad—Joseph Viskovic used to write for them (he actually put out some pretty solid pieces over in Hollywood, too). Now that Nomad is gone, does anyone happen to know if he’s still writing anywhere else?
Paramount Pictures is honestly such amateur hour; I honestly have no clue how they've managed to stay afloat in the market all these years. 😕
Total film covers nothing but the mainstream Anglo-American circuit. It’s all big blockbusters and very little actual substance.
Hollywood—honestly, the graphic design is just a disaster (it's an absolute eyesore). The writing feels weak too; it used to be much better back in the day, but now it seems like it's mostly just anonymous filler.

The last "presentation" was actually about the school itself—you know, focusing on feedback and suggestions...
They asked everyone who showed up (though there weren't many of us, unfortunately) to leave their email addresses so they could send out updates regarding the school's concept throughout the year and gather more input from us.
One suggestion that came up was to have the school take place a few days before the actual Sundance Film Festival starts, just so the schedule doesn't feel quite so slammed.
To movie felt like pure pretension to me—honestly, the most heartbreaking part is just how much Wenders seemed to lose his touch there... and he never really found his way back to that level of greatness.
It tries so hard to be everything at once, but in the end, it doesn't really amount to anything at all.
C'Tebo said:I’ve managed to watch pretty much everything I could afford, specifically: Bowling for Columbine, Lilja 4-ever, Rat, Witness, Dragon, and Russian Arka—plus a few others, though my memory is failing me right about now...
I noticed you checked out that Blabanov movie.
So, what did you think of "Rat," C'Tebo? 😁
To me, it felt like Jakov Sedlar meets Stjepan Sabljak meets Chuck Norris. Honestly, there were moments where I thought it was veering right into parody territory.
