wow, you just summed up every piece of music he's ever composed in the simplest most moronic way.

You rock! ;D

Thanks, I think. I used to write/draw a comic strip and one of the gags involved the characters on a "Name That Turne" style of game show and all of the songs were Phillip Glass pieces (hence the comic booky dooDEEs). I had NO response AT ALL to the joke, which only encourages me to repeat it until it finds an appropriate audience.

Having said all of that, I do own several Glass albums, including the above-mentioned Einstein on the Beach. I save my harshest criticism for the material I love and/or financially support.

I am honestly surprised no one has quoted my post and added a, "Heh heh. You said doodee."

Yes. I am vindicated.

I just watched Pickpocket and hated it.  Was like Crime and Punishment Lite.  The staging was super forced and the actual pickpocketing stuff was so poorly done it was laughable.  It's like the director is spoon feeding the audience with every shot - "Look at this.  See what he's doing here.  That's a wallet."

Why are the police so concerned about a pickpocket?  They sure devote an awful lot of resources to catching this one small time crook.   And, then when he goes to jail the film acts as if it's the end of the world and he's going away for ever.  Um, he'd probably be out a few months. 

And, I couldn't comprehend his change of heart at the end toward Jeanne.  His attitude towards her literally changes from one scene to the next with no discernible cause.  Stakes in this were just really, really low and I couldn't get into it.

How can you say things like that? How?

I have liked all Jennifer Lopez movies. And I like Uptown Girls.

I really don't mind Jennifer Lopez movies at all. You can do much much worse when it comes to silly rom-coms.

Because my purpose in life is to break the hearts of moviegoers like you! :P

And in all seriousness, I'm not being serious, just inflammatory.

I agree that Nicolas Cage can't play a sympathetic character to save his life...
Let alone any other character.....
