Hey people!
I come online to warn you all! Of a silent movie, that lasts for 3 hours and 10 minutes. It is a rasist piece of crap, named "Birth of a Nation". This movie celebrates the Ku Klux Klan as saviours of white man, and the arican-american community as violent.
They made us watch this movie at school, as a studie of various film techniques used in 1915 and in silent films. The movie was ground breaking with its use of technicues and various other things, but the whole thing just pissed me off.
Rasism, prejudice and intolerance usually piss me off, so I'm pretty amazed by myself that I actually sat and watched the entire thing... education... right
OK, that was last weeks movie, so I've had time to cool down, I don't really expect people to willingly go out and rent this, but I had to warn you anyway...
Today we saw "Blow out" a 80s movie with John Travolta, its an ok movie, that plays around with movie sounds and such. The ending was cheesy, but I found this film a little interesting when I had a theme to look after while watching it. I've seen it once before, but that was 5-7 years ago, so I couldn't ditch it.
I haven't really done too much lately. Camelia and I are going to the cinema tomorrow to see "The Leauge of Extraordinary Gentlemen". I'm pretty sure it'll suck, but it's worth a try. I'm just curious, and Camelia wants to see Stuart Townsend.
We're still considering seing "Cabin Fever", am gonna go see what they have to say about it on IMDB before we make a decision.
Catch you all later.
Have a nice weekend!
