When you look at other things from the same perspective it makes sense. How do pieces of paper generate value? I mean they're just pieces of paper with a serial number and a dead President's face on them on this point i'd say that papers have value because you can buy services using those papers from the same (more or less) body that issued them. the ground is much more shakier with e-coins in this regard. -
zeff, what really gets me is how quickly something so virtual became a thing that people value irl. like when, how and why did this confidence to trade meth, child porn and now legal stuff as well for bitcoins became real. also regarding the 21m bitcoins, why does it matter that it's limited to 21m when you can have and use ultimately small fractions of bitcoins? i haven't seen your vid yet.

i don't think i've ever had such a poor understanding of a contemporary, hot and important topic than of this whole e-shekels biz. i'm totally full republican on this thing. is there a youtubed explanation of this thing with cool graphics that lasts less than 5 minutes?

battle of the sexes - the most disgusting film i've seen in a long while.

yep, here's the link.

dunkirk - pretty much the opposite of what i expected. i expected to be overwhelmed and engaged viscerally by nazis pounding the poop out of british soldiers, guts and limbs flying everywhere, screams of agony, bloodied ocean, panic, dread and hopelessness on a massive scale. but what it is, is an aesthetically pleasing, pg-13ed, detached, sterile and an elegant war portrayal for vimeo subscribers. it felt weirdly small scale, just a few rows of troops waiting to be evacuated on a desolate shore, 5-6 planes and a bunch of boats. at no point it felt like 400k people are involved in this thing. this idea to follow the proceedings at sea, land and air at different but converging timelines really didn't do anything to me, it was a pointless exercise that prevented from developing any of the three stories properly. for all its pretense to do something artful and original out of war film it snapped into hollywood cliches way too often. pointless and blatant exposition where people explain the things every mid schooler was taught about, hardy tom saving the day at the most crucial moment, all those last second rescues, a bomber diving into the oil spill for the big boom-boom. the attempts at artfulness and (overly forceful) understatement seem out of place when this stuff allowed to take place. some pretty shots, and again, a nice work from zimbler is all i took from it. i don't get what nolan intended with it, an anti-hollywood ode to the british war spirit, this reserved bravery and steadfastness or something? well it didn't work, fuck great britain.

Butt Before Sunset - it's basically richard linklater's 2004 before sunset, but it takes place in someone's butt.

i didn't quite get what logan lucky was supposed to be. an affectionate ode to the working class and downtrodden trump voters? but then those aren't the kind of people that would pull such a elaborate heist like clooney and co could. felt kinda at odds with itself. though it made me realize that vacuum/pneumatic machinery carries a lot of inherent comedic charge and is highly underused in film.

i'll take what lopez originally said and bravely stand for it. even looking at his photo before he ended i said to myself - "how can such a thing even exist?". well it obviously can't.

good time was thoroughly engaging and enjoyable. i always liked the idea of a film taking place in one night, it's a reliable way to get you to really understand and feel what the characters are undergoing, and this one capitalizes on this very well with pattison doing a really good job. the gaspar noe-ish neon shit with the really gritty and raw new york where every single person is physically repellent and fucked up in some way serves as a great aesthetic backbone, and our man lopatin in full zimbler mode is really taking it to another level.

i liked how they decided to release a mass murderer to his girlfriend as a punishment. -
most beautiful island - liked this a lot. it deals with this pretty worn out topic of immigrant money troubles in contemporary u.s, but takes it into a very different and completely unpredictable place. it felt very polanski in how it followed a sole protagonist, and the gradual build up of mystery and suspense is something that you experience with her, not as some kind of distant observer. i always found this very engrossing in his films and this one emulates it very well. really liked the cinematography too and the general tightness of the script and the direction. there were a few obvious indie film student-like moves and somewhat excessive repetition of the same point in the first half, and some of the acting seemed quite amateurish in parts, but overall it was very gripping and the finale was very satisfying.
