Comment on An Open Letter to Steven Spielberg by Charlie Storrar

Charlie Storrar — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 00:58:52 +0000

Interesting but I think a deeper analysis suggests Spielberg’s real beef is with the Japanese — explicit in 1941 and Empire of the Sun, implicit in AI — we will be taken over by Japanese androids; Close Encounters — strange small people are playing with our minds to make us want them to come and abduct us; and none more so than in Jaws, where Quint’s monologue clearly ties the theme to the war in the Pacific. The ocean is deep, unknowable and has hidden terrors — like the Japanese. And what does Quint use to try to kill the shark? Yellow barrels — a cleverly sublimated homonym for ‘Yellow Peril’.

Yeah, show some respect for formulaic, regressive, moronic drama.

Gee, talk about being a disrespectful, low life cunt. Pull your head out of your ass, because clearly you’re talking shit.

Comment on True Grit Yawnfest by Rich

Not only did I come late to True Grit, but I’ve come late to this blog post.

It was hideously over-rated, wasn’t it? I quite enjoyed the book, but I didn’t feel Jeff Bridges did much more than we all would have done in that role.

I also have a major problem with films in which YOU CAN’T HEAR THE DIALOGUE. Mumbling and bollocking on is all well and good in real life, but if I’m straining to understand verbal interactions I’m rapidly losing interest in the film.

Look at the Deathstar — clipped British 1950s BBC accents worked a treat. We all knew what was going on the Deathstar because of top class enunciation.

Comment on Video games, the art form for the 21st century? by Rich

Rich — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 08:08:54 +0000

I’m worried / proud that I might be the Championship Manager mentioned in the crescendo at the end! It could be David, but I’ve certainly felt I duty of care to those that have done so well for me over the years.

Lovely article, but video games will never be art while MW2 lobbies are full of kids insulting each other’s mums.
