What a dumb bitch.

Why is she even going into these movies?  Don't stars like her just wander the halls?

I guess she thinks this will help her big screen career like Macguffin's article said. I don't see how the fuck that makes any sense though, Sundance is for filmmaker's and actors that haven't broken into hollywood yet. Why can't she just leave the film geeks alone? Seriously, we need at least one entertainment medium that is a sanctuary from that bitch. Too bad that medium can't be film. It looks like porn will be obsolete soon enough as well. She's bound to infect that business sometime in the next 5-10 years.

It's supposed to be, but the festival itself has become 'Hollywood'.

Nah, not really man. I know what you mean but it's not completely Hollywood yet. It's still cool.

That festival sounds cool. I saw those hilarious ads for the upcoming one with the two burger place employees. Where can I find more information about it?

how did discussions of Godard turn into Brittney Spears and South by Southwest Frest talk?
Godard is the fucking man! Show some respect!  I just watched Weekend for the first time last night it was an amazing "fuck you" of a movie.
next to Godard along with Griffith and Eisenstein make up the holy trinity of cinematic inovators.
"There is no point in having sharp images when you've fuzzy ideas."

"Anyone who has ever been privileged to direct a film also knows that, although it can be like trying to write 'War and Peace' in a bumper car in an amusement park, when you finally get it right, there are not many joys in life that can equal the feeling."
-Stanley Kubrick

I hate to tell you but....these things get off topic ALL the time around here and your going to have to get used to it man. I love Godard with all my heart but there will never be an excuse not to bash Britney Spears.

gogards my 2nd favorite director after kubrick, and i say breathless is his best, and even thoguh underrated i really loved my life to live, i thought it was so spectacularly original.
"we'll meet again in a life when we are both cats"
"you are what you love, not what loves you"
"I don't think your an asshole Royal, I just think you're kind of a son of a bitch"

So, I went ahead and ordered the shit-pie version of A Woman Is A Woman on Fox Lorber dvd. It's only $12, so no biggie, and I love the flick. But then I found out it has been remastered in some new print that went to a couple theatres last month. Does this mean we might actually get a new version of the dvd, with a hint of quality?

Anybody hear anything?

Oh, also, anybody know if we can get any post-First Name:Carmen Godard films on dvd? I think Keep Your Right Up might be available...
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

funnily enough, I just thought of posting this exact message... then saw I had already done so way back when.

I watched Breathless last night for the first time.  What a great film.  Looking forward to listening to the commentary and seeing more Godard films.
