Im Lazy

So yeah i kind of 'forgot' to post anything for the last week or so, and i actually have no excuse. Ive barely been in Uni at all, and nothing has happened. The peak of my productivity was watching a film for an essay, although i didn't put as much effort into analyzing it as i should have...

But seeing as i have little to write about, i think i'll do a kind of film one liner post, and try to summarize the films i have watched over the last week. Here goes:

First up is Bottle Rocket, a brilliant comedy by Wes Anderson, following the capers of three wannabe criminals trying to make it big, its very light humored and good fun to watch.

The next one is The Royal Tenenbaums, another of Wes Anderson's films which focuses on a rich family of overly intelligent, upper class characters who all seem to be missing something in life, with a hell of a cast to boot.

Moving forward we have Barton Fink, one of the Coen's early films about a writer tortured by his visit to Hollywood, it delves into the life of the mind and contains some dark but amusing humor. (Interesting fact: The Coen's actually wrote Barton Fink in three weeks flat because they were struggling to finish Miller's Crossing.)

Then we have Requiem for a Dream, Darren Aronofsky's brainchild that drags you through a dark and stomach churning journey within the world of both illegal and legal drugs, don't eat anything before this film.

Finally we have Punch-Drunk Love, Paul Thomas Anderson's short but delightful escapade into the dark and amusing world of a socially impaired businessman, played by Adam Sandler.

An interest fact that I learnt about Paul Thomas Anderson recently: After enrolling in the NYU film school for two days, and subsequently handing in some of David Mamet's work as his own to get only a miserable C grade, he got his tuition fee back and left to make his first short film with it. If only i was that confident in myself!

Thats it for now I'm afraid, although i'll try to post a bit more frequently if i can.

Au Revoir!
