Finally finished watching The Hobbit Trilogy in a marathon, watched the 3 movies in 2 days. And while the last one wasn't that good it was clearly much better than The Desolation of Smaug, which is imo the worst Middle-Earth movie by far.
For those of us who like fantasy movies, we don't get many of those D&D style so we kind of appreciate anything better than the average shit but reading the book twice, i honestly expected more from Peter Jackson when he had a bigger budget than LOTR.
It's like he spent it all on that horrible over the top CGI. Didn't like the build up and the choice of dialogues. Apart from the first one, which was okay, the other two were very forgettable and didn't do justice to the book.

Peter Jackson basically said "fuck you" to Tolkien to dumb it down and add Hollywood tripe for gormless audiences.
I've been going through some movies I never got around to watching in the last 10 or so years. The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas (dat ending...) and Downfall tied in together for a nice Nazi theme. Couldn't be more different, but both very good.

The name is from a character in Pynchon's epic novel Against the Day.
Kieselguhr (diatomaceous earth) was used in experiments as an absorbent to stabilize nitroglycerin in the 1860s by Alfred Nobel, and that's how dynamite was invented!
my favorite actor at the moment, the guy is nothing but net.
Enjoy!

And Roy Anderson was once again a pretty unique experience
In comparison to A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting On Its Existence I mostly thought that it was much much more clear cut and straightforward with its general message. With APSOABROIE
lol I'd argue that there are a lot of perspectives from which the movie as a whole could be analyzed, while here the criticism of modern capitalistic society is very straightforward. "Life is a market", the ones who regard life as more as work and business ideas are institutionalized and shut off from society, the economists sit around a table trying to read a crystal ball while spouting nonsenical analyses and begin to panic the very moment something occurs that doesn't fit in their limited view of the world. Oh, and of course the pointless sacrifice of youth and innocence in the hope of turning things around.Looking forward to You, The Living now
