Seagoon movies. Mortal Engines. I just could not get into this Steam Punk Vernian /Howl's Moving Castle pastiche but if you love steam punk post apocalyptic stories you will love this a lot. It looks glorious , has an original idea and some good characters. Trailer; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRsFc2gguEg
And that's it for daily movies , I've been watching so much telly and movies the past few years I am filled up. I also notice that for me it's consumption of another person's whole vision. There is no room for my own creative thought. To have a fresh mind I need my own real experience and if I can't have that then books and music.
So movies and telly only on the weekends from now on. I still love movies so much ๐๐๐, just need to regulate my watching.
Oh God that movie. I just couldnโt. No hobbitses. You have stamina
I give it 2.5 hobbits for it's lush visuals and costuming and it really does embody the spirit of steam punk. An Orwellian future dystopia with 19th C antiques and a bit of grunge.
also, I can still talk movies all day, just keep the new stuff for weekends.
Another thing I noticed about watching so many movies is that I don't have time to reflect on the art and meaning of what I see. Never went past short term memory. Movies are worthy of thought and should be watched in a good way.
Yeah true if you are being fair about it. Iโm always suspicious after seeing the likes of Alita Battle Angel, Avatar, Speed Racer, Sucker Punch etc.. all stunning, all garbage.
I do the same. I don't listen to other peoples music when I'm creating my own. Makes total sense.
Really? This makes me very happy. ๐๐ค
