Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

You can have negative story elements without it being apocalyptic. Moon, 2001, Alien, jeez even Star Wars.

But yeah, I would like to see more hard scifi about humanity's future, instead of its lack of one. That's the kind of SF book I read - *not* Cormac McCarthy's The Road.

>> ^Farhad2000:

Tell me how Hollywood is supposed to market a positive feel good movie about the future?
It's hard to create tension in a positive story. Like how do you market a hard Sci-fi movie about the colonization of say Mars? It would only work as a TV series but it would take an amazing creative behind it to make it work.

Consider that it's viewed through the eyes of Cormac McCarthy, possibly one of the darkest writers I know. One memorable passage in his writing is that of a man throwing puppies in a river and using them as target practice as they bobbed through the rapids. Or Chigurth. Right?

Cannes had some heavy entries this year and Antichrist/Enter the Void are probably worthwhile to watch..Haneke's film doesn't look like fun indeed - saw the trailer - but knowing his reputation..
The most recent Cormac McCarthy film The Road is hopefully (almost) as good as No Country for Old Men..but the new Coen bros film, A serious man, I don't know..
Korine will be good I guess, hope they'll release the Korine film, his last film was not.
Herzog with 2 films coming out..good stuff..
And a new Todd Solondz, black humour:)
Avatar will be an interesting moment in cinema history..
And indeed 2010 with Burton's Alice; Nolan's scifi..
and King Shot (produced by Lynch)

Dunston Checks In

Indeed something to look backward to..and think, why? Any flicks you're looking forward to blankie?
And Sarzy, you'll do a report from the festival on your blog? Wish I could be there..


I really do want to see Antichrist. Farhad, where is the torrent? I cant find it.

I am really curious about the road, also. Hopefully it will be better than the trailer makes it look. I loved the book. I seriously doubt that it will be on the level of no country.

I also really want to see my son, my son, the newest from herzog, presented by lynch.


Also, the new hirokazu kore-eda, still walking, looks very promising.
