Re: Netflix
I’m almost 99% sure that my Netflix queue is more aspirational than anything else. It’s a gesture toward the heady, cultured film viewer I wish to be than the consumer I am. What’s that Christina? You don’t want to watch Goddard’s Notre Musique for a third time? Shut up. Wait, what? You want to watch crappy horror movies from Netflix Instant instead? Oh girl…
Minimalist typographic movie posters.
I almost choked when I saw this: subtle but spot on.
“The characters of “Sex and the City 2” are flyweight bubbleheads living in a world which rarely requires three sentences in a row. Their defining quality is consuming things. They gobble food, fashion, houses, husbands, children, vitamins and freebies. They must plan their wardrobes on the phone, so often do they appear in different basic colors, like the plugs you pound into a Playskool workbench.The movie’s visual style is arthritic…Carrie also narrates the film, providing useful guidelines for those challenged by its intricacies. Sample: “Later that day, Big and I arrived home.”
Roger Ebert’s Review of SATC 2.
I get the sense that the reviews of SATC 2 are wildly more entertaining than the movie itself.
