I don't
know what you are like as a human being in this world, but I have
idiosyncrasies, histories, mysteries and complexities. And of course, biases .Especially when it comes
to things that interest me and that I love; like movies. I don't think it's even possible to be
totally neutral and impartial. So let's
not pretend.
I am a New
Yorker, I have a New Yawk and particularly a Brooklyn bias.
I love,
love, love Martin Scorsese. Has he ever
really made a bad movie? Not in my opinion.
Also, Spike
Lee, Sidney Lumet, Woody Allen, and
James Gray get mad love.
My favorite
European cinema is Italian, especially Fellini and Antonioni.
My favorite
Asian cinema is Hong Kong, especially Wong Kar-Wai. And my favorite WKW is In The Mood For Love.
As far as
sci-fi goes I like post-apocalyptic or dystopian. Hard Sci-Fi. I don't much care for fantasy.
I like crime sagas.
I like crime sagas.
Citizen
Kane is Great, no doubt about it and
I think you should have seen it and if you don't like it, I respect you a
little less.
Cameron
Crowe, Alexander Payne and Jason Reitman - meh.
I frickin
love Pixar!
I tend to
like things that can be described as; dark, gritty, realistic.
I'm pretty
tired of "indie" films that are "quirky".
I like the
city at night as a setting.
I like
hard-boiled detectives and shadowy film noir anti-heroes.
I'm a
sucker for a good coming of age film.
I think
Zack Snyder and Michael Bay make fascist propaganda. I detest their superficiality and cringe when
I hear love expressed for their shallow products.
I am
suspicious of and repulsed by movies that you have to "turn your brain
off" to "enjoy."
My favorite
actor is Al Pacino - in the 70s.
I'm a Criterion Collection addict.
I really appreciate a good strong ending.
