nah,usenet is still alive & kickin and my prefered method for downloading. I am/ have been a member of most l33t private tracker forums and like newsgroups much better. IMO, more secure and hassle free. it's extremely rare that I need to search and download a torrent.
one of my favorite forums still uses FTP.

i hated Shame. i get the whole bundles of sex thing affects people abilities to emotionally interact, but the movie was just dead to me. i was grasping at straws looking for something more in the movie that just wasn't there and for a while i even thought the main character had banged his sister in the past or something. i was really frustrated in that by the end of the movie that i had no plausible explanation for why he couldn't bang that black girl, who he really seemed to have a connection with. i guess the "shame" that was depicted on screen just never connected with me to give the rest of the story its impact. the whole movie just felt like one big stylized cliche.
in terms of gratuitous sexual provocativeness, i at least found The Girlfriend Experience to feel much more real and current with the times. sex is rarely emotionless, so watching rich guys pay obscene amounts of money just to have an escort go through the motions of treating them like real friends while servicing their desires is much more plausible to me. none of the people in that movie gave any indication that their weaknesses affected their circle of life.
i just recently realized Lynne Ramsay finally released a movie last year, i seriously gotta get on that.

if he did get with the black girl that wouldn't make absolutely no sense at all.
if you didn't "get it" oh well, you can't really explain why things are good.
to even compare shame with the girlfriend experience is an absolute joke. mcqueen filmed the movie, again with an artistic style that is original and like drugs for the eyes, not to mention the fantastic score - while soderbergh's film looks like any CSI- miami or hour long drama running on tv these days. not to mention the movie was downright horrible, as are most of his films. Are we now going to compare Sasha Grey's performance with Fassbender's or Carey Mulligan? I sure hope not.
This film is much too good for an Oscar nod.

A central figure in dance and performance of the 1960s, Yvonne Rainer's transition to the cinema in the early 1970s quickly earned her a place as the single most important avant-garde filmmaker of her generation. Rainer inaugurated a major feminist tradition in the cinema that blends theory with autobiography, deconstructed narratives, dance-inspired performances and rigorous but playful formal experimentation. A Film About a Woman Who..., a landmark film that is still considered by many to be her masterpiece, is a meditation on ambivalence that plays with cliché and the conventions of soap opera while telling the story of a woman whose sexual dissatisfaction masks an enormous anger.
(Yvonne Rainer, 1974, 16mm, B&W, 105 min)Last edited by PoubelleMaBelle; 03-18-2012, 11:38 AM.

Saw an excellent movie yesterday that I highly recommend. It is called David wants to fly and is a documentary of a young filmmaker searching for inspiration. This first leads him to his idol, David Lynch who is telling him about transcendental medition as his source for inspiration. The whole movie becomes an investigation of the TM / Maharisihi movement... Really disconcerting.
As it is a german movie, I don't know much about it's availability in the US/ other countries. But if you happen to find it, grab the chance.
