I liked both. I wasn't sure about Watchmen running at almost three
hours but it went by pretty fast and was very entertaining. I like
these sort of conspiracy intrigue movies especially treated in a graphic
novel way sort of like a very dark comedy. I've been listening to Alex
Jones rants about the movie being pure "Illuminati" evil and think he
must have watched the movie standing on his head (quite an
accomplishment) because he has it upside down. But that group over
there thinks that "1984" and "Brave New World" were written to promote
those kind of societies rather than warning against them. If they were
truly written for that then the authors failed miserably because it
produced the opposite effect. But there is nothing much left over on
that forum other than die hard libertarian hypocrites that decry elitist
conspiracies like Bilderberg group but don't want their right to become
billionaires themselves (dream on) and screw the public to be
diminished. These are a bunch who think that digital TV is a mind
control conspiracy and keep talking as if digital TV will be turned on
June 12th when actually analog TV gets turned off. They really don't
like to hear that in some areas digital TV has been broadcast for almost
a decade. Kind of blows their theory. But if you want to have some fun
go joint the forum on http://forum.prisonplanet.com/ and play with
their heads.
"Synecdoche" is a Charlie Kaufman movie ("Adaptation") and his first
directing effort. It now available on DVD and Blu-Ray. It is quite
something and stars Phillip Seymour Hoffman as a theater director who
struggles with a play he is trying to produce. Very trippy just like
"Adaptation" and well worth a watch. What a project that was to
produce. This was definitely one of the better movies from last year
that didn't get much play in the press. Wonder why? Well probably WAY
to weird for Joe and Jane Public.
