Отсмотрел кино «Волк с Уолл-стрит». Как обычно возникло несколько мыслей по ходу. Вот ради чего всё это напряжение, наёбка большого количества человек, покупка гигантских домов и кораблей? Ради порева и наркоты? Ради своих личных амбиций? В конце фильма два прекрасных по силе момента – фбровец, едущий домой на метро после успешной операции по закрытию успешного человека, и толпа жаждущих того, что их научат успеху мошенники! Первый момент указывает нам на то, что чисто человеческое стремление к Справедливости и Правосудию никого не впечатляет, и невзирая на размер отбитого у мошенников основным действующим лицам достаётся хуй с маслом. Второй момент о том, что если речь идёт про Деньги, то неважно мразь ты, или нет. Люди тебя оправдают и придут на твои лекции, потому что основная цель существования – как можно больше денег. Скорсезе даёт понять, что то, ради чего люди готовы жертвовать честью и совестью, семьёй, человеческим обликом – это беспорядочная ебля и употребление нарк...

Watched Frozen in cinema today. Really enjoyed it. All evil guys were punished properly this time. I was happy! Though as usual there was a couple of scenario glitches, but in general very positive and interesting story. The only thing that disappointed - 30 minutes of ads with addition of some irrelevant Disney short cartoon before the movie. 30 fucking minutes! However it's not related to the movie itself. I have read some reviews and opinions about the movie so far and some of the quite interesting. One of them in particular is that it is the first movie that teaches girls they don't need to be dependent on a male to resolve the problems. Well, this is not very accurate to say the least. Though indeed in the movie girls try to resolve the issues themselves, but it doesn't go very well without extra help no matter whether it comes from a male or a female. What has truly amazed me was the idea that Disney explicitly portrayed true love in this movie not just as a pat...

It appears that The Bling Ring  is the best movie I have seen in about two years. The great directing and acting - apparently - made me to sit tight and watch to see how the things are going to develop. The story is based on the article The Suspects Wore Louboutins and true events. Here's is the real people behind it: http://www.vulture.com/2013/06/real-bling-ring-where-are-they-now.html There is an interesting review in The New Yorker -  Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring" . That's the point of view that some of my friends shared after I approached them to discuss the movie. However I have seen something else - parents have no idea what their children do and they obviously don't even try to care about them. Well of course they give them a place to live and supply them with goods and luxurious cars. However one of the issues is that when parents are getting involved in their offsprings problems it's possibly too late. By the way, only after I s...

Once I was standing at the bus stop waiting and saw an advertisement on one of the buses about a new movie that started in cinemas that day. And I thought - it must be a great idea to organize the online cinema. Not one of those currently existing in variety that provide paid or free access to some archived movies from the past, but the proper cinema that shows what is currently on show. I realized that the main issues in building this sort of project would be to convince the major movie studios and intellectual property holders to follow this model and also the regular cinemas would be strongly against this idea. Today I stumbled upon this article: http://allthingsd.com/20131028/netflix-flirts-with-a-new-idea-big-movies-at-your-house-the-same-day-theyre-in-theaters/ Interesting to see what this idea will develop into.  

В мультфильме “ Monsters Inc ” («Корпорация монстров») есть такой эпизод – The Abominable Snowman предлагает главным героям мороженное из снега жёлтого цвета. Когда Mike Wazowski подозрительно смотрит, то сноумэн говорит, что это лимон. Хотя ясно, что никаких лимонов в снежных горах, где он живёт, нет. Сегодня заметил, что люди, выросшие в тёплых странах этой шутки не понимают. Вроде мелочь, а попробуй, объясни что-нибудь глобальное человеку, который не в курсе что такое обоссаный снег!

I have been eager to watch this movie since seeing a trailer a while ago. It was intriguing and I thought the premiere shouldn't be missed. My curiosity and aspiration was also fueled by the announcement that Tarantino himself was planning to visit the premiere in Sydney. It was a bit of disappointment to get the announcement just before the session that Quentin was not coming, but it didn't really matter, because the movie was amazing, incredibly fun and thrilling. Though it's pretty lengthy (2:45) I haven't got bored at all. After a couple of beers I looked for some quiet scene to go to the bathroom and there is such a scene in the movie. Possibly right in the middle, when many people in the cinema decided to pay a very quick visit to the toilet. Almost entire audience laughed and giggled following the story line on the screen through the movie. Very saturated, soaked in soulful music, technically perfect, flawlessly played by the great actors - this movi...

Have never heard about this place before, but eager to watch the Australian premiere of Django Unchained  had a first visit last night. The interior is the one of a chick bohemian club from early 20th century. Sound quality is good, but the screen is not enough for showing movies for bigger crowds in comparison with modern cinemas. Good place. http://www.statetheatre.com.au 01. 02. 03. 04. 05. 06. 07. 08. 09. 10. 11.

Planning to watch the Australian Premiere of Django Unchained at the State Theatre . I was intrigued by the movie trailer earlier and was very much expecting the movie. When I knew that Tarantino himself is coming to the premiere I rushed to buy the ticket. What was my disappointment to receive the following email today: Will still go and watch the film, but not sure I will be easy accepting the idea that Quentin Tarantino is equal to a box of popcorn! :)

Well made story about a vampire, his relatives and a witch. Very visually picturesque, especially on the scenes with Eva Green and Johnny Depp. Interesting humor. Beautiful soundtrack. I have seen some negative reviews, but I personally didn't expect a lot from the movie and just really enjoyed this nicely depicted story by Tim Burton. Recommended .

Shrek the Halls http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0897387/ Многие куски жизни проходят как подготовка к важному празднику для каких-то гостей. Что-то стараешься там, накрашиваешься, готовишь презентации, ответы на вопросы, идей масса блестящих, хочешь понравиться. Не спишь неделями. Потом хуяк - момент настал! Празднииик!!! В течение часа собираются гости. Кто-то хочет пить/есть, кто-то девок/парней, кто-то уже в слюни. Всем до пизды твои приготовления. Задают не те вопросы, что ожидалось. Никто не обращает внимания на твой спецкостюм, который может к тому же просто мудацкий. Кому-то не нравится коньяк, а хочется шампанского, и чтобы кругом много людей клубилось. Музыку твою тоже никто не желает. По итогам стоишь ты сам с собой в добровольном одиночестве. Вроде бы и грустно, и жалко потраченых усилий, а хули делать? Ты ведь точно такой же гость на чужих праздниках жизни. Да и непонятно - для кого праздник. Для себя, или для гостей? Казалось бы, простой способ - опросить заранее потенц...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0844471 Непростая история, содержащая как и любой "тупой американский фильм" бездну смыслов. Проблема доступной еды для всех и каждого, и действительно ли надо делать так, чтобы она была у всех бесплатно. Проблема "непонимания" гениев окружающими, что характерно скорее всего живущих при этом за счёт родителей, или пособий от капиталистического государства. Отец, который с сыном никогда не разговаривал, но сильно желающий, чтобы тот его понял и принял его точку зрения. Мэр, который "заботится" о городе, но по итогам преследует свои корыстные цели и всех кидает в конце. Проблема коллективной ответственности, когда почему-то все обвиняли Флинта во всех проблемах, хотя и вертлявая гнида мэр, и полицейский, пытающийся угодить сыну за счёт коррупционных приёмов и все радующиеся жители - нихуя не имели против изобретения пока всё было хорошо. Также решение о продолжении эксперимента с большим уровнем риска было под давлением и к...

It is a great movie. ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435761 ). Especially love the moments with "The orphans!" at the beginning, and when Mr Potato Head stick his body parts to the wrap and then the pigeon sat near. But there are some moments that are not smooth. The main fail is too light punishment for scoundrel Lotso after all he did to the toys. So if the audience is not educated or doesn't have enough personal experience, they might think that if you behave bad to others, betray them using their kindness and providing some extremely inadequate excuse ditch them in danger - nothing is going to happen to you as a result!   The fair ending of Lotso in the movie would be him to travel all the way to the fire. Because in the situation from the movie, there is no need to wait for good deeds from this sort of creatures or to wait until they do something bad to you.

Продолжаем о кинематографе. В этот раз кино  Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1216516 Если кто не в курсе, там один из основных сюжетных моментов - конфликт Tinker Bell и её друга Теренса (Terence). Насколько я понял, авторы фильма на стороне Теренса, типа виновата Tinker Bell. Хотя этот Теренс так её заебал своей навязчивой помощью в течение месяца, которую кстати она не просила, что я вообще удивляюсь как она его не сожгла в своей мини-кузнице. Держись Tinker Bell, я за тебя!

I don't normally watch the movies "for girls", but sometimes I do. The one I would like to post about here is The Devil Wears Prada . Meryl Streep ,  Anne Hathaway  and  Emily Blunt  did a very good job in the movie. By the way, Emily Blunt is one of my favourite actresses. I was really thrilled by the film from the very beginning. Was very interesting to follow the process of how Andy transformed from the naive girl to a professional with ambitions. What I didn't expect though is how it all ended! I don't believe that in reality someone would just easily ditch something they put so much effort to get. Also Andy's boyfriend annoyed me seriously. Instead of helping her to grow and maybe develop their relationship to a different level, he just whined all the time and complained. Such an idiot.  

Over the weekend have watched one of the funniest comedies - The Guard: It's a great combination of good actors, clever scenario and humor. A couple of months ago I started reading the book by Bertrand Russell " A History of Western Philosophy ". It was interesting to see that he was discussed in the movie.

Over the weekend have watched Fantastic Mr. Fox . Great movie with very clever story, wonderful actors and awesome music. It's based on Roald Dahl's book Fantastic Mr. Fox   After watching the movie I have decided to read the book as well.  

Went to see The Dark Knight Rises  a couple of days ago at the world's biggest IMAX theater . Fantastic experience! The movie is great and in IMAX it feels like you are part of the process on the screen. Never had such an involvement effect before. Also there is a lot of good questions and ideas to think about in this awesome film. Definitely a must watch in IMAX!
