Titicut Follies

I worry where I'll go crazy.....maybe go to that crazy shit from the Titticut Follies.

Which, basically, if you were even mildly mentally damaged and convicted of a crime in '60 Massachusetts, you were. This film represents the only time in history that the US government has sued for an individual's right to privacy; it's quite patently bullshit. One man shown in this film was convicted of petty robbery and sentenced to 5 years in 1912; this film was not made in 1917. This film exemplifies everything terrifying about government, and not in some malevolent way; it if gets you, it will be through systematic miscare and an abrogation of human dignity. Oy vey!

I'm a functional literate.

That's all we need, right?

I'm gonna crack this industry!!!

Terrence Malick

Terrence Malick is perhaps the greatest of the 1970s "New Hollywood" direction, an era which afforded time, money and resources to areas which may not have been otherwise explored in Hollywood fiction. Coppola, Scorsese, Bogdanavich and many others studied under Roger Corman. They learned the minutaie of film production, the tediousness which should be left to itself. When Hollywood was turned over to them in 1969, with Easy Riders done and Mean Streets and The Godfather to come, nothing could go wrong. It never could. William Friedkin, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese......

One of those names can make a film on his back now. Scorsese; and he's built a style and a brand. His style is important, it's what he is. But the Scorsese's "brand" is what he has. Terrence Malick is the only American film-maker of the past century with a clear vision, whose films may not be fully realised yet may be understood within the context of their viewing and the accrued appreciation of their stunning cinemotagraphy and ethereal, astounding soundtracks.

Fucking cunt.

Fuck off cunt.
