    as Malick's filmography grows ever so slowly i find the narrative playing less and less of a role in the film for me. i enjoyed the narration in the thin red line and the overall detachment from the trivialities of war on all the different character because it helped tie together a theme in my head of him showing how even us almighty humans find ourselves having to submit to the rituals of mother nature, whether it be by blowing each others brains out and finding ourselves pulling teeth for trophies or camping out on the back side of hill for days on end waiting for reinforcements.

    only saw the new world once so all i can hear is that booming soundtrack in my head when trying to think about it, but it was a really beautiful film. i like how he made the scenery and nature feel so intoxicating (using the music to his advantage here). it really captured that impulsiveness to keep going further and further into the unknown. felt it everytime i use to go backpacking/climbing in Colorado, i just couldn't stop going and wanting to climb every peak no matter the time of day.

    tree of life certainly sounds dull, but i know Malick is capable of pulling it off if anyone can. was going to go download it now and put my new vaporizer to work, but my torrent site is down...damn.

        oh how you tempt me, it's a 2-minute walk so i'd totally get blasted and go do it but i just checked and the showtimes are 7pm and 10pm. looks like i'll have to wait until the weekend to get a showtime that'll work for me.

          just watched this. It was disturbing, to say the least - can't believe I sat through it all the way to the end. Casey Affleck was cute though. Not exactly a brilliant film, but worth watching for the acting alone. But don't say I didn't warn you...

                    are there english subs for this yet? I was so enthralled I watched it without but I have a feeling I'd probably get more out of it if there were.

                      Last couple films watched:

                      How to cook your life --> excellent movie. Cooking x Buddhism basically
                      Il Divo --> aborted it although the technique was great. But wtf was this film about anyway?

                          Yes. I got an invite to preview it a few weeks ago, and I think it's already out in theaters (very limited distribution).
