O.P: "I LOVED Inception!"
Me: "The book was better...."
O.P: "Wait, what book?"
Me: "Oh, you don't know?"
O.P: "No...."
Me: "Shame... you can't really understand the movie without the book. I guess you just don't 'get it.'"
- Yes, ladies and gentlemen from now on I have decided to portray superiority in intellect through shamelessly referencing non-existent books! You wish you were that good.
For your Consideration:
Taking the new year as an opportunity to boast about some blogs I quite enjoy but don't really get the opportunity to mention here!
Wide Screen World takes their unique platform for discussing the experience of cinema to another level with their analysis/discussion on Blue Valentine.
I won't link to everyone's year end blog posts, but I will recommend you check out the insight and collection of lists over at Eternity of Dream (any blog post with a Ned Beatty mention is instantly deemed noteworthy)
The Film Fellas present you with FIVE film recommendations for movies you might have missed!
If you're looking for an incredibly fun and intelligent game to test your movie knowledge, check out Hoping For Something to Hope For's 8-bit movies challenge!
If you're not following Where Danger Lives' countdown of the top 100 movie posters of film noir, you're not only missing out on an intellectually stimulating series - you're missing out on a retrospective on one of the defining segments of cinematic progression!
With a new name and a new look Defiant Success (formerly Life of a Cinephile and Bibliophile) is calling upon you to take part in a recommendation blog-a-thon. If you read my 11 in 2011, you should be certain to check this one out for added involvement.
Poll Update:
For those that voted PLEASE take the time to comment with opinions/recommendations
Results:
1. 10 votes: Design (seeing as I just made a major overhaul I find this very distressing)
2. 2 votes: Nothing (goody, I've managed to impress two of you)
3. (tie) 1 vote: Just about everything else (honestly, I thought my writing would have been #1)
New Poll: January is upon us, and I want to know how you like to spend it (cinematic wise)!
Soundtrack of the Week:
Yesterday I gave out one of my highest scores for a first-time view film with The Secret in Their Eyes. Check out the score below!
