I really want to see those two films; years ago i was particularly interested in "Exterminating Angel" and sought it without success on VHS...... Were you impressed with Criterion's work here, and what did you think of the movies? As far as he goes, i have only seen "Diary of a Chambermaid"...

Criterion does a lot of good work, though they are not flawless. Admittedly, i have seen a lot more of their DVD's than i own, thanks to friends and rentals. They have made a lot of films availible here in America that otherwise are difficult as hell to find, such as Fassbinder's "Berlin...

Sorry Mikael. It seemed a weird thing to try to discuss in this thread. But you're right, flamebait on my part. If classical music is art, then why? Much of it was created for very practical purposes---for learning to play instruments, to be used in church services, for a little background...

Yeah, i read it a number of years ago, so maybe i was missing something. It's not that i respect myself for having this opinion :) I am so taken by grandiose expressionism in film (i love Welles) that i was quite a sucker for Coppola's vision, so perhaps i just was predisposed not to enjoy the...

I don't have a Times subscription, so i can't read the Gravity's Rainbow review......but, considering you raved considerably about the novel on the last page of the thread, i assume this isn't going to be one of those antiintellectualist "I didn't understand this book, noone else does, people...

I have enjoyed Fitzgerald's short stories much more than his longer form works. Which isn't to say that the Great Gatsby, for instance, isn't good. It is, although it has too big of a reputation to live up to for many readers. Those stories of his just tickle me though. I'm trying to read...

Wow. Poor J. J. If this F3 = Dubliners, then, like, their next game will be totally like Portrait of the Artist, then comes Ulysses, and yes, Finnigans Wake! Considering how Bethesda has yet to master any of the fundementals of RPG creation and will nevertheless be moving on to bigger, more...

Agreed. To me, WoW seems like child's play compared to what UO was in the early days. Most games since then have been to some degree a watered down version of it. Now IX was what truly raped Ultima.....just like VIII, it had such potential :( I never have been more dissappointed, yes even...

I don't care what happens with weed. I'm sick to death of hearing about it in the U.S., though. My fucking god, just legalize it already so people can shut up and concern themselves with something else. And yeah, our jails are crowded, too. People are assholes with alcohal; i hear them all...

Fallout 2 has continued to receive considerable criticism on this board, particularly from the old-timers; it's absurd to suggest otherwise. I personally happen to feel that it does enough other things well that many of its flaws are not nearly so glaring as in Bethesda's game.

I feel that, taken as a whole, the NMA Impressions piece, BN's review, and VD's provide the most accurate overall written assessment of the game thus far. I understand some people may not find the pieces, esp. Vince's, to be as negative as they would like them to be, but this shows that they've...
