I suppose that would make sense except that how fucking long does it take to write an album review? Presumably these gentlemen get the opportunity to listen to the album on their commute to and from work, as well as in the evening time. I've written reviews for Ae Albums before and whilst I may not be doing it professionally it still only takes me like absolute max 2 hours to write a full comprehensive track-by-track review but most of these reviews will likely be shorter than this paragraph. Also pitchfork will be super lame. *expletives* you can bang out a review in 5 minutes, but that's just writing. to write about something you have to be familiar with it, and that takes up time and (sometimes) research. sure,with bands like weezer, you need one listen to know if it's going to end up well or not in the review. but with weird (and double) albums it just takes up time. and it's not like you get one album to write about. you get 20 and have to sort it out. and even after you write this really thought out, well paced review there will still be someone complaining you don't like it well enough (like you just did with pitchfork). so yeah, it's great you can write a quick review of an album you listened to 100 times, but try doing that every other day to albums you got a week before and maybe you'll get why promos are send out waaaay in advance to avoid rushed 'this album is shit'/'this is amazing' reviews that don't hold up. and that's not even taking into consideration whole really long and boring publication process that in paper press usually takes up to a month or so, so autechre reviews in march issue of the wire or something was most likely written in february, which makes sending a promo in january pretty sensible.

hesher - dull coping-with-loss coming of age drama with really surreal stoner-metalhead character played by gordon-levitt that gives it enough of an unexpected twist to make this film a real pleasue to watch. in the end it's really cool and odd. argo - really well made. there's oscars hopes written all over it, but it still works as a movie, so no biggie. affleck's pretty ok as a director as far as i'm concerned.

seven psychopaths - fucking great. starts really bumpy and cheesy but everything falls into place in a weird movie-within-a-movie way. it's kinda like pulp fiction in stardust memories reality. mcdonagh is shaping up great.

premium rush - shit movie y'all aww was kinda hoping that was gonna be a film that looked awful but on dvd (or a plane) was actually fun i thought it was really fun, i can't think of anything about it that was shit though it wasn't amazing in any way either it looks like an iphone commercial, or a google AR glasses visualisation. and the whole plot is just weak. + the dialogue sounds like it was nicked from disney channel. i guess it is watchable, but notmuch more than that. even michael shannon couldn't make it work with his scaring as shit coldness and sociopathy, it only makes him look like a 90s bad guy tv cop.

i liked 5th season of dexter, i think. the one with sickboy/sherlock gave up after that. the books got terrible way faster, i gave up after the sequel where it turned out he's a demon or something. these days, aside from breking bad, i mostly enjoy comic bookmen and pawn stars. both follow the same reality tv formula, but CBM is actually pretty good, and pawn stars is terrible but people bring really cool stuff there.
-
nope. was colin firth version oooh, the one that actually makes sense with the book? yet to see that one. premium rush - shit movie y'all

i was surprised by how not terribly bad jimmy fallon is fever pitch. i was expecting a trainwreck.
-
looper - starts kinda cool but ending is crap, so overall it was meh.

haven't seen bernie or sunset, only about 15 minutes of sunrise, but i think slacker, dazed and confused and suburbia are way better than scanner. but i would rate scanner higher if it wasn't for overdone visuals which add nothing to the movie and only make it uneasy to look at. i saw scanner a week after reading the bok and was like 'eh'. tape is pretty good too. but slacker is the best. how can you not love slacker in it's absolute positively pretentious lack of sense? sure it drags at the end but there's still like 90 minutes of top quality material. it's hilariously great figuring-life-out-in-early-20s kind of movie without turning into stupid college movie or lots of poop jokes. no movie i ever saw portrays the confusion of early adult life in more realistic manner without ever really addressing it as an issue.

red is obviously afx to some extend because it says 'made at llannerlog'. also, from discogs blue and yellow were listed on mike dred's discog on his website http://web.archive.org/web/20080509170941/http://mikedred.com/discog.htm

i liked it most out of all JK i've hard not sure what the problem is
-
subUrbia - not always working as a movie (it's a play), but pretty ok nonetheless. tape - loved the low quality handheld camera work, and that everything happens in real time, in one room, with merely 3 people. not as well played as carnage, but still very good. uhf - jesus fucking christ. just no.

yeah i was thinking about that the other day i'm guessing http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1534085/

the whole nine yards - silly comedy. in a good way. office space - up until the third act this movie is great. i loved the juxtaposition of lame office life and gangsta rap. it was very suble and funny. the tension builds up great and all, bu then they just went with the least interesting conclusion. still funny, though.

yes, i agree! as a sci-fi it has some flaws, but damn that's one sad movie! first time i watched it i jut got disappointed because it didn't really develop enough, and it's frustrating cause it's good idea for a movie... on second viewing i found it to be really sad. :( also, the end is so cliche, i mean, the end end, earth scenes etc... but damn me if it isn't one of the best space movies of the last ten years or more... are there even space movies being made at all? all i can think of in last 5 years is this and christams on mars by wayne coyne. and i think it tries a bit too hard to be sad. and the music doesn't help. it's an enviroment more suitable for something like mutilation colony by squarepusher, the computerized ambience pieces, rather than pathos of clint mansell who always goes for the most cheap emotions.

peopel are giving moon way to much credit just because it looks good. it's an interesting concept but is shown in a rather shallow way and the characters never really develop. it feels like shooting 1/3of it ate the budget of a whole movie so they just kinda made it slow and turned into a whole feature. kinda just out of nowhere gets to the point and goes 'tah dah' instead of exploring it, setting it up a bit more thoughtfully, making me care about sam rockwell a bit. and it's not even that revolutionary of a point. i don't buy it.
-
safety not guaranteed - shit movie. they start straight, but when things involve some real thought, they go with silly. the story is pretty ok up to a point, but motives and characters are about as bland as hallmark movies. and i hate the indiezation of movies these days. everybodys so quirky, and indie pop is in the background of every scene.

it's probably a mispress, or simply a mistake.

from http://graphure.tumblr.com/ whole artwork is there, i guess

if you lack curiosity about fellow humans just because "they speak another language" and you need some hack director to give you permission to expand your horizons then you are indeed a moron. i can appreciate that some people may not have an interest in film and usually prefer to hear from someone they consider "an expert" to make decisions for them- but this film's target audience (even by industry standards) is for males under the age of 30 so these kids aren't acting on such a conscious level. it's one of those visual stimulants where they see "QT's name on the marquee" and they can already anticipate promised violence. i'm waiting on a sequel to this post about corporatons being bad and then a prequel on enviroment written by someone else.

the watch - hands down one of the worst movies of the year. amazingly miscast (when exctly did jonah hill turned into repo man era emilio estevez? why is the geek from it crowd here? since when is vince vaugh funny? why is ben stiller stil in the movie business?), unfunny and boring. and with plotholes so obvious you'd wonder if anyone even saw the movie before they released it. and it cost 68 million dollars.

i second cul-de-sac but always saw it as a more proto-haneke'ian 'funny games' kinda tell of mindless violence and terror. probably my fav polanski from the 60s.
-
good script maybe? like, really.
-
so yeah, in other news, some of the effects and edits sound like virtual dj stuff which would be hilarious if true. especially on the fast acid track.
