Saw Dredd in 2D. It was...interesting. A lot of stunning imagery. But I was disappointed in the simplicity

and the fact the action, which is excellent, all takes place in only one location. It's as if the writers didn't have enough imagination to make the well-crafted action scenes more drawn out (I mean it's a giant future city, for god's sake), but the art-house direction was wonderful. And I loved the soundtrack.

Which brings me to whether I liked the 1995 film with Stallone or this one. It's impossible to tell. You can't really compare them. Both were "good" in their own right. Where Judge Dredd was good in a fun, campy, guilty pleasure way, Dredd was good in an artsy way. Although one thing that underwhelmed me about Dredd was the ultra-violence and how many of the more gory scenes are obscured. (I wanted to see more scenes (not to mention more shots) of people getting skinned alive, for example.) Then again, I have yet to see a movie with the degree of violence and gore to please my appetite. Oh well...

Galatea as Ruby Sparks and Pygmalion as Calvin

I have just watched the reincarnation of Pygmalion and Galatea as Calvin and Ruby in the movie just out called, "Ruby Sparks".

Yes, three thousand years ago Pygmalion created a statue of such beauty that he fell in love with it. And feeling the love, the statue called Galatea came to life and Pygmalion and Galatea married.

And three thousand years later Pygmalion in the guise of Calvin created Ruby, not as a statue but in print on a typewriter. And Galatea in the guise of Ruby Sparks came to life and they fell in love.

Pygmalion came from a spoken culture and so created Galatea by hand; whereas Calvin came from a literate culture and so created Ruby Sparks in print on a typewriter.

It was simply brilliant.

If you like sushi, it can be boner inducing (girl boners included).

Jiro Dreams of Sushi vid

Saw this not too long ago, and found it to be inspiring. Rest of my thoughts were dedicated to what exactly this sushi must taste like, and if there's any way in hell this guy's shop isnt basically booked until he dies so I can actually try some.

Meanwhile, the last movie I watched that was worth recommending was The Tall Man. For whatever reason, the last couple of movies I've watched starring Jessica Biel (which include the absolutely darling Easy Virtue) have been thoroughly enjoyable.

Holy poop, i stumbled upon this vid, it's pretty gruesome...

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

Just rewatched this for the first time in over a decade and HOLY SHIT it blew my hair back.

The perfect end to Kubrick's incredible carrier.

I'm speechless. A towering accomplishment.

Muriel's Wedding.

I saw it after two people on the forums mentioned it and it was kind of a terrible experience, lol.

The Indiana Jones quadrilogy on blu-ray. Man, the picture quality is superb. The fakeness of those matte paintings just leaps out at you. It's just unreal.
