So here we are at the Telluride Film Festival. I will leave the film reviews to T2, well for the most part.
I do have to make a comment about two movies.
One Sardonis butterflies - Huh? If ever I was made to feel inept this film did it for me. I mean really I felt I walked into the middle of Twin Peaks dream sequence. But who am I to comment on anothers genuis. But truly if I were to give it a grade - it would probably be an F.
Two Under the Skin. Yikes I actually liked this movie. True it could have been forty-five minutes shorter, maybe even making it a short - I mean how many times do we have to see a hunt to understand the hunt or for that matter a fight or car chase. If it is intergral to the subject is a fight good for 10 minutes of a two hour movie, or 80 minutes because there is more than one fight?
So in the middle of the movie my seat mate (not T2) grunted said oh my god, and got up and walked out. Then came the exodus. Half the theater walked out. Twenty minutes later the other half walked out. By the end of the movie there were maybe ten people remaining (it was a sold out crowd to start) - yup not everybodies cup of tea.
Would I see it in a theater - no, but I would see it on DVD and fast forward - definitely.
