Film What is Cinema

Posted by Charles Mudede on Wed, May 27, 2009 at 8:27 PM

Criticism for a film I had a hand in making: "Aside from the cinematography, which is outstanding, this documentary is not worth watching."

definately looks like zoo, great film. The critic is probably a horse fucker.

Zoo was boring as fuck.

Is the photo of the (sadly now closed) Snoqualmie Pass rail tunnel?

Why are you reading comments on IMDB reviews? When it's some idiot from dumbfuck nowhere writing one paragraph that boils down to "this film's topic matter squicked me out!" it's not worth caring about.

@7

Oh my. I didn't even notice there wasn't a link. IMDb user reviews? Charles, this is failicious. What's next? "What is cinema?" based on a comment from YouTube? Pick one and update this post.

Chas:

How do you manage to reach your spindly little spider arms far enough out of your navel to type this bullshit?

It's moratorium time!

Could have been worse.

The criticism could have been something like:

"Someone whose favorite Spike Lee joint is Girl 6 had a hand in making this documentary."

So it's much like many of your slog posts; usually something pretty to look at, but lacking interesting information or a point?

Zoo = salaciousness dressed up as an earnest art-house "exploration". A misguided director tries to justify others' addictions. Pretty, yes, but it's just addiction talking. Boring. Like listening to an alcoholic extol the health benefits of moderate drinking.
