Jeanne Dielman is on Instantwatch on Netflix

And Anna put it in the instant cue, so I feel the need to have an angry rant about it.

Here is the entirety of the movie:

You get to watch her completely prapre dinner and wash the dishes more than once. The movie is 3 hours. Of this. NOTHING HAPPENS, and I get that that's the point the filmmaker was ging for but dude, that's a RUDE objective.

I had to go see it for an experimental production class I took, and I actually sat through 3 hours of this woman making food, taking a bath, grocery shopping, just sitting there etc in REAL TIME. The whole time I kept myself from leaving because I thought that somewhere, in that 3 hour expanse of painful, painful nonexposition, something was bound to happen.

ONE THING IN THE ENTIRE MOVIE HAPPENS AND IT ISN'T EVEN GOOD. She stabs the dude as she climaxes while they're fucking BUT ITS NOT AS EXCITING AS IT SOUNDS. Because youre so numb by then you don't give a shit what happens you just want it to be over. If this is the point it's a bad one, dude.

I am so tired of goddam pretentious "exercise" movies, THEY AREN'T ENTERTAINING AND THAT'S ONE OF THE MAIN POINTS OF MOVIEMAKING.

Big Bird?

Sam Worthington has made a career out of riding mythical flying animals.

Here's his debut, from Avatar, where he plays Jake Sully, tamer of the huge flying dragon-lizard-thing (thus making him savior of the "Navi"):

And here he is in Clash of the Titans, as Perseus, the first human to ride and tame a pegasus (thus maving him savior of the Argons):


Yeah, I should be writing that screenplay outline right about now...

I Shawt Someone, Sum


The difference here is that Rachel Bilson (Summer Roberts in the O.C.) is acting like a dumb bitch and Mischa Barton (Marissa Cooper in the O.C.) is actually like that.
