its that time of year again. once again the film on my windows was not accepted. apparently some types of films are more equal than others. but if that not a living documentary i dont know what is. well, park city is nothing new to me. im perpetually snowed in.
2002 village voice movie critics poll
I saw The Adaptation last night. I've beein thinking about it all morning and suspect I will be for quite some time. Bio-collectors and fans of Robert Smithson and Vito Acconci might well enjoy this movie. Here's the rottentomatoes page. (some of the reviews give away much of the plot.)
"I went to see The Two Towers last night, and I enjoyed it immensely – although not quite as much as the first Lord of the Rings movie, for esthetic reasons I won’t bother with here."
"My real problem with the movie -- the one I do want to talk about -- is political, and it applies to the entire Lord of the Rings saga. As much as I love and admire Tolkien’s books, and Peter Jackson’s brilliant adaptations, I think it’s probably unfortunate these particular stories are being re-injected into the popular culture at this particular moment in history."
