Alright, finished it last night. Gotta say, this one is 9/10 which is a miracle in my eyes. Perfectly executed message.

Reading The Map and The Territory by Houllebecq. Brilliant :) I really like this man
-
watching House of Cards. I have mixed feelings about it - Kevin Spacey is sometimes great and sometimes just plain annoying (with his fake southern accent). my next problem with it is something I hate in a lot of shows: the political aspect is dumbed down and it seems like all work in the USA government is done by a few individuals. I mean cmon, the government is a huge beast and stuff happens EVERY DAY. but I guess you can't make a character-driven show in such a large infrastructure without dumbing it down. the reporter girl is hot.

I've finished The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I think this was my 6th or 7th book by Murakami - and it was one of his best and also one of his most disjointed. The majority of the book is about the main character who has absolutely no clue whatsoever what the fuck's going on and I can clearly see Murakami behind his writing desks similary having no clue about the plot. But the book is still - and maybe just because of it - strangely human and warm. I recommend it.

The Wolf Of Wall Street - 8/10 thoroughly entertained :) felt a little long but it is a Scorscese flick after all
-
Ok, I think this is the first Actress release I totally get - R.I.P. had some gems that Ghettoville doesn't come close to, but on the other hand some songs were just terrible for my taste. Ghettoville sounds much more unified. Will listen some more for sure.

I have to agree. On point. 9 or 8/10

Basically.

Side Effects This was a steady 7/10, it grabbed me and I was getting quite involved - until the ending came. What the hell? How could Soderbergh leave such a gigantic plothole in it? I don't want to spoil anything but if you have a pinch of intelligence in your head you too would be offended by it. The plot hole is like a gaping asshole destroyed by a stampedo of money-hungry producer dicks. Too bad. 3/10

Kafka on the Shore was fantastic! Also my first Murakami novel and it sucked me right into his world
-
well I read the slovenian translation which was done by a single translator... so I don't think this is the case for me. the third book still feels different, more spacious, without a clear high-point
-
the first and the second part of 1Q84 are some of the finest writing and world-creating I've read. it should have ended there, because the third part, even if not really bad, just lacks the energy of the first two. I heard that Murakami first published the first two parts and then in a year decided to add the third act, which is a shame I think.

Attack On Titan. I'm also quite enjoying it, even tho in every frame there is a face that's crying.
-
i'm starting to agree. a singular film. yup. definitely a grower
-
Von Trier is also hella good with directing women
-
yes. this one was a beast. recommended.

Me? nope, I think he meant Kanye

first I thought this is Martin Strel, but it really is that pedo guy, right? whatshisname?

When I first saw The Master, I also thought it wasn't engaging enough. But it stuck in my head for a while and I just kept thinking about it, so then, when I saw it for the second time, I finally "got" it. It is a masterfully subtle film, with dramaturgy like no other, where the little flickers, reactions and body movements make up the story. The relationship between The Master and Freddie is of course the center of the film. They are like two dots, each on the other end of the spectrum, but they have so much in common that it's frightening. And in the end Freddie himself becomes The Master and The Master becomes a puppet of his own cult and his wife. Beautifully done.

The Master - fantastic film, even tho it was made for Anderson himself and noone else.
-
Holy Motors - 9/10
-
Idioterne (The Idiots) - this is one of the best films I saw in my life. So authentic in what it was trying to achieve... This is just on another level of film-making. I think this is pure Von Trier and I'm kind of sad that his newer films (yeah, Melancholia, it's you) just don't strike these same chords as The Idiots did. 10/10

Solyaris is a strange dude from Italy, not very known, who makes beautiful music with just a loop machine and a guitar. His music is hard to get by but you could find it on what.cd or you can even PM me. This reminds me of fuzzy orange beehive:

this is some powerfull music! it feels like it can literally move mountains
