Gosford Park (2001)
Excellent
First off, we can dismiss the majority of the negative reviews of this movie here as there is an entire generation of brain dead gen-xers who need something to 'morph' or explode in the first five minutes, or else it's 'boring'.
Good, I am so pleased that certain children find this movie boring. Great. "Walking Tall" awaits you.
For those more well read(gasp!Reading?) or those intrigued by clever British stylings, this is the movie for you. Altman does a superior job with this film.
One of my favorite techniques employed by Robert Altman is that he doesn't spell everything out for the viewer. Again this is why some people slag this film, their own intellectual laziness(or complete lack thereof) makes them feel like 'nothing is happening', etc.
Again I am pleased. Pleased to know that there are filmmakers like Altman who exist to bring the specific audience(not the jock brain 'general' audience) and gives the thinking-literate crowd a gem.
The Vagina Monologues (2002)
typical screed
I'd like to get a group of sensitive new age men and begin a play...I think I call it the Testicle Diatribes. And we can talk about our testicles and we can define ourselves by our testicles and all the funny names we give them...and then we rant about how oppressed our testicles are and that they need light and air.
Funny how not one of these women seemed straight. Just another exclusive 'girls' club thing, rant and screed oh our poor reproductive organs blah blah wish I had a penis instead.
And the whole 'unitl the violence stops' thing, noble enough but I dont meet any pro-violence against women types.
For Grrls and Womynn only, you know the ones who have a lot of free time on thier hands, dateless with mustaches who listen to ani didyko
