What do you mean?, something like the following Section: General Teories Gener: Horror The black dude is dead Section: General Teories Gener: Anime/Manga Do you live in Tokoy(sp?), don't, as it's highly likly to get Nuked or in some other way remove from excistance Section: Hollywood Gener: Action/all Topic: Main characters Somehow the "hero" is impervious to all kinds of damage, and alwasy manages to make a comeback no matter how hard s/he has been beaten, hell not even god, if he exicted would be this good. I call this effect "Hollywood Shield" Section: Hollywood Gener: all Topic: Crappy endings Somehow everything always ends like a dance on rose petals, this is no matter what has previously happened.
In the 1960s and very early 19702 there seemed to be more DEEPER genre mainstream films. also these could be seen on TV on usually BBC2....what i mean by 'deep' is films which really challenged worldviews.....Pasolini, Hitchcock, Fellini, Bunuel, etc etc. i dont feel that now. for me now, what we have is the opressive Hollywood taking over every fukin thing. nearly all films are laden with computerized special effects, and are more or less comic book--talkin mainstream of course, the ONE exception (PLEASE REMIIND me of othersss??) is David Lynch! what i mean 'comic book'? they seem very suprficial and formularic an lookin thrugh te socalled American eyes---though tey mean white middle classian America, or White workin classian America as Hollyweed likes to put it so Hollywood, in othe words is THE major mythmakin industryt--as its always been, but i feel more so now it changes history to suit its mythic status .....Pearl Harbour? remember thar glossy pile o' crp from a few years back--ie., the film of course? David Lynch toug really deeply investiagtes the humancondition in sometimes disturbing ways, lovd his Eraserheaed , which apparently took his seven years to make........love all his work. he is from the Underworld..hehe i demand mo better film. the present shit is for overgrown kids!
