the thread about nothing...

Finaly watched The Phantom of the Paradise, wanted to watch it since maybe 10/15 years, De Palma never deceived me for the films I saw of him except The Untouchables, I might need to retry it, but maybe it is due to its theme.
About The Phantom of the Paradise, I understand why it is a classic, great movie and music. Classic in a good way, very pleasant to watch.

Spoiler: not really spoilers but eh or might it be

references to both Faust I haven't read and The Picture of Dorian Gray I have, the manichaeism isn't disturbing as it works with archetypes and the whole thing permits different levels of reading. We could thought at first it would be the good versus the evil, but each character suffers from consequnces of his acts. So what could appear as legitimate is sometimes forgetting ideals and dignity. There would be a lot to say on this movie. In french version it's the same dubber as the one for Marty McFly in Back to the Future ^^ I really like when films are called classics for good reasons, not to appear intellectual or whatever, but for their authentic quality. It's also funny to see De Palma have made a movie so eccentric, because for the other ones I saw from him I never perviewed that from them...I didn't see the time pass watching it, which is quite rare with some modern movies...

EDIT : Funny thing when you take characters names and keep letters htey have in common :
Swan / Wilson / Phoenix
SWN / WISON / ONI
SWN + ONI = WISON
Swan & Phoenix = Wilson

Giannis And The Virtue Of Being Oneself

Giannis Antetokounmpo blends retro ideas of post dominance with conceptions of space and movement that could be revolutionary if only there was anyone else able to follow in his footsteps.

There’s this movie called Rubber and it’s about a sentient tire that goes on a killing spree
Stopped halfway through because it was just too dumb

AEW should sign that tire to a contract.
