Nighty-night

Night at the movies was great. I think I'm getting addicted to this.

Kinsey (USA, 2004) **** - Very good movie. Made me think a lot about all the questions that people still ask nowadays about the sexual nature of men and women (just for you to have an idea, it talks about levels. Yes, the levels). It was the first presentation of the film in Brasil and it I believe it will be in theaters soon.

Repulsion (UK, 1965) * - Completely insane. And not in a good way. I know it's Polanski and I should respect him and all, but... Just didn't like it.

Y tu mamá también (Mexico/USA, 2001) **** - It was the surprise movie of the night. And I was surprised indeed, for last time I went there they chose a terrible one. I had already seen it, and it was great to see it again. I just keep on wondering how the hell did the Warner Bros. directors decided to simply hand in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to this guy. He's great, but... Well, you'd have to see the movie to know what I'm talking about. Maybe they wanted to see some Sirius/Remus scenes.

Next time the festival will be at may the 13th, which will be, as usual, a friday. For that, the theme will be horror movies. Do I have to mention I'll be there?

And today I have experienced again the amazing sensation of watching a film inside at the mind-boggling large screen of Central Plaza's Cinemark's room 10. I definitely missed the quality of the image and sound at that place. I can't even define the sensation. It's like another level or something.

Shi mian mai fu a.k.a House of Flying Daggers (China/Hong Kong) ***** - Five stars for the amazing cinematography, the great story and the battle and dancing scenes which were just fantastic.

Changed the layout! Much better now. And also changed the title.

You like bowling, don't you, Montag?

If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. If the government is inefficient, topheavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel like they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy.
