Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: Re: You're so quick to judge

[quote name="Choson"][quote name="Senor Barborito"][quote name="Ray of Light"][quote name="Senor Barborito"]"Getting high" is a lazy descriptor, and people who like a movie and go on to espouse the highness of its priciple actors are desperately wrong about either its wackiness or its quality.[/quote] I'm not saying the actors are high; I'm saying they <i>were</i> when they conceived the film and it was captured directly by an Imaginox from the future. Jeez. You once roomed with a girl and threatened to report her to the authorities when she offered you some dope, so <i>of course</i> you'd want to preclude others from shorthandedly describing what, to you, must be enigmatic. The movie isn't even wacky in a traditional sense, it's more a <i>byproduct</i> of wackiness, and so I wanted to describe the state of mind where people would brainstorm ideas like having rhinestone-studded fish, and monogrammed Century-21 sales rep sweaters, and baby blue captain's shirts with felt epaulets, and an evil sea explorer who works from a yacht with a chorus line of stauesque dudes in speedos. I could say all that, or I could say "high" and most everyone would get it. I'll grant you the term is overused, but not by me. Ray![/quote] Your apologetics are useless flagellation. The law is the law. You're dragging the whole movie down with you.[/quote] Yeah, SO FAR DOWN. Wes Anderson has now decided to make dioramas, not movies. Dioramas that make you smirk, but not actually laugh out loud.[/quote]
