Poseur Alert: Jean-Luc Godard’s New Trailer is the Entire Film!

Godard is an artist and a clever one, but this statement and the whole frakin’ post make me nauseous. Can’t one make a point without saying something stupid?

Wanna find pretension? Pick a film blog. Any film blog!

If James Cameron showed up at my door with a contract to be in his next film, I would shove him backwards off my front porch. But I would fly to Europe to stand in the background of a Godard film for free.

Roger Ebert , asking the question I always ask myself after watching a Hollywood movie.

My answer: They shoulda done it with HBO.

Posted at 3:27pm and tagged with: film, Hollywood,.

“
Why does [insert random Hollywood movie here] have to end with an action sequence? Characters not rich enough? Story run out? Little minds, jazzed by sugar from the candy counter, might get too worked up without it? Or is it that executives, not trusting their artists and timid in the face of real stories, demand an action climax as insurance? Insurance of what? That the story will have a beginning and a middle but nothing so tedious as an ending?
