Are you a sock puppet of that Irish girl? And what do you have to say about the recent releases from Korea, Japan or Iran? Is your whole life a matter of Hollywood films? What *is* there to say?

Saw a good Thai movie the other night, The Passion (2006), about a
girl being terrorized by thugs in a multiplex, a really big looking
multiplex. Starts out slow but goes into Sam Raimi meets Wile E.
Coyote terrority and turns into a really delirious fun movie. Most
fun I've had watching a movie in awhile but I'm not sure it's
current. It was on the Midnight Pulp channel on Roku, which has a
lot of good second tier Asian movies, along with odd little punk rock
documentaries (The Dead Boys, GG Allin, etc.), splatter/grindhouse
obscurities, etc. I'm hooked like James Woods watching Videodrome.
But that doesn't justify being so slack I haven't seen Lincoln or the
new vampire movie a day or two into their release.

To me it does. Not that that means anything but -- and I rarely endorse Thai flicks because they are so far off the wall -- why see that other nonsense when you can see a fim that people really loved making? Is there anything worse than a film that you think you "have" to see? For who? One of the reasons that I stopped writing reviews here was after mPig and Bill Anderson had written up "Fly Fishing In The Yemen" and I found myself searching the shelves at the library for the film but I wasn't going to waste a reserve slot for it and I realized, WTF are you doing? Who cares? The only obligation you have to films is the films that *mean* something to you. You have to cut some slack from the herd and in the long run, everything else is meaningless.

I see movies that I think I'll like or, rarely, movies I think I have
to see to stay "current" on movies. But, while that latter category
left me willing eventually to watch the first TWILIGHT, I feel
uncompelled to watch the fifth even if it breaks all-time record$.
And, I (and likely Bill) wrote up SALMON FISHING to clue possible
viewers, not draw them.

And it supposedly being the only good one of the series.

Is this your way of telling us you're going to see it?
