First, what is the technical name for a cartoon's sound effects guy? Is it the same as Foley(sp?) guy? Second, can anyone make a Barsoom movie or does uncle Walt own the brand now? Third, why does Cruise stick with Scientology?
Hubbard bet Clarke he could invent a religion. Clarke say's, 'I lost.' So who could take it seriously?
Why haven't I seen a really good new film in months?
No, I'm serious. I returned to movie reviewing three years ago and after an initial burst of enthusiasm, I'm played out. I've come to dread entering a theatre or cracking open a disc that isn't a Blu-ray reissue of some Hollywood classic whose basic craftsmanship is fairly guaranteed (as long as it wasn't made after 1962.) I've been underwhelmed or outright disappointed in a half dozen new films I was anticipating eagerly for years. The thought of watching a new film - ANY new film - has become as acutely painful as it once was to sit down at a screening of a Canadian film in the waning days of Telefilm's last production bonanza.
Really, this is having an impact on my life, and my livelihood. Any thoughts?
Ok Rainforest Giant,
