3.4.2021 Suosittelen jokaiselle maailman ihmiselle Nicolas Cagen roolisuorituksen tähden. Jopa Vampire's Kiss jää tälle kakkoseksi. Muutenhan elokuva sitten onkin ihan täydellisen yhdentekevää ja kankeaa, koomisesti hirvittävän epävireistä neo-noiria. Mutta katsokaa nyt herran tähden tämä. En ole ennen Deadfallia edes ollut mitenkään erityisen innostunut Nicolas Cagesta, mutta tämän jälkeen suhtaudun kyllä tähän sälliin aivan uudenlaisella kunnioituksella.

25.3.2021 Muuten jotensakin tylsää ja junnaavaa Thing/Alien-rahastusratsastelua erittäin kököllä näyttelijäkaartilla ja muutenkin puisilla tuotantoarvoilla höystettynä, mutta lopetus on kyllä kaikessa totaalisessa ääliömäisyydessään niin häkellyttävän upea, että pelkästään tämän ansiosta arvostus Star Crystalia kohtaan nousi huomattavasti. Myös lopputekstibiisi tihkuu niin paksua kasarijuustoa, ja koko elokuvan mittainen katkeamaton avaruusambienttinen äänimaailma yleensäkin toimii niin mainiosti, että tästähän jäi loppujen lopuksi ihan hyvä maku suuhun.

Modern Adaptations of Greek Dramas (8 movies items)

3 years, 9 months ago

Keaster added 1 item to Read in '21 list

A small mammoth of a book about the, well, history of history. Impressive is the scope that Woolf has bravely taken by deciding to focus on literally everywhere in the globe and at all times. Not an easy task, but Woolf manages it better than one could imagine by tackling simultaneously the shifting currents of historiography in Europe since the classical Greece, in China since the Han, in Near East since the Assyrians, the Islamic world since its dawn, India, Korea, Japan, and the pre-Colombian and early-conquest America, including also the latest trends in postcolonial and gender history, and others. So... you know... lots. of. stuff. But it stays compact, and is definitely readable, as long as you don't have to worry about remembering every single bit of information in the book. Because that would require some kind of alien brain structure that at least I do not possess. Especially interesting, in my opinion, is the chapter about the Americas before and directly after the conquest. Fascinating stuff. Florentine codex, here I come... eventually. And the bibliography, man... if Woolf has read even a small part of the stuff mentioned, then I don't know how he has had time to do anything else, like, ever.

Mustanaamio7's Movie Diary 2021 (24 movies items)

Good old Freddie rambles on about the past and its (also non-)utility with a fascinatingly (post-)modern frame of mind, considering this was written in the late 19th century when the whole field was almost completely dominated by Rankean (in our eyes) conservativist and relatively straightforward approach to sources, and the general view about times past regarded them as self-evidently factual, to be brought to the light of universal Truth via rigorous scientific method. Nietzsche is funny because he has humor and honest enthusiasm and passion which he isn't afraid of showing, and, as the title implies, in its pure essence a humanistic message (at least in this particular work) regardless of what later commentators would like to make of him.
