The New World

Luka's never had a waffle! I can't believe it!

 

[sus]

what you're actually looking for is mom, apple pie and baseball

You guys don't have moms over there?! No wonder you turned out this way

 

[padraig (u.s.)]

the very fact that his films inspire such strong reactions in people decades after they're made ipso facto proves we're right

no bland or mediocre art inspires hatred 15 years after the fact, only great or terrible art. either way, a success.

 

[sus]

I gotta say, I like being on Padraig's side a lot more than being not on his side

 

[IdleRich]

@IdleRich I have seen Stalker, Nostalghia, Andrei Rublev... that final candle scene in Nostalghia, wow.

Stalker is magic of course but for me his best is The Mirror and then, kinda to my surprise Sacrifice... then a toss up between Stalker and Solaris.

waffles are stupid and malick is stupid

as ever your powers of rhetoric are unmatched

having said that, I respect you telling all those aesthete post-grad type snobs to fuck off 15 years ago, fair play

welcome back

just remember, either way, it's always collegial

we laugh, we cry, we bicker, hopefully we learn something, rinse repeat

[IdleRich]

the only one of those I've seen is Hard to Be a God (tho I've seen other Tarkovsky besides The Mirror)

great film

doesn't invalidate Malick in any way

It doesn't invalidate but might make you think twice about how good it is.
Just to be clear I meant the Russian version of Hard to be a God from 2013 or whatever not the 80s version.

i have a suspicion you dont like malick all that much you just dont want to see poor old Gus get ganged up on again. its your sense of fair play.

I hate the way you nevet say stupid stuff... until now.

 

[padraig (u.s.)]

It doesn't invalidate but might make you think twice about how good it is

it didn't make me think that. and yes, I mean the 2013 version.

two things can both be good without making each other less good.

it's a sad day when you and @luka are reduced to just calling me stupid over, of all things, Terrence Malick

come on, you're a master cinephile. luke has all his mystical poetry looking at things sideways etc business. you guys can do better.
