just saw 'tiny furniture' and was shocked by how much i liked it. i hate this sort of film, as a general rule, but the gradual shift in tone completely won me over. it was scathing and observant without being mean-spirited. in an odd way, it reminded me more of bresson than woody allen. (not that it's really much like either.)
i'm kinda floored that a couple of ppl here found it poorly directed -- i thought it was incredibly well-crafted, every shot beautifully composed. light-years ahead of someone like miranda july.

― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 14 April 2012 00:59 (twelve years ago) link
she's got a tv series starting Sunday morbs. by the end of it she'll have more output than July.

if you have HBO
― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 14 April 2012 01:01 (twelve years ago) link
i'm going to finally watch Tiny Furniture tonight. Surely it can't be worse than a Miranda July film. Surely.
― stay in school if you want to kiw (Gukbe), Saturday, 14 April 2012 01:01 (twelve years ago) link
as opposed to the inescapably huge national roll-outs of Miranda July's work. xpost
plus you can watch the first episode and write it off even without HBO. Perfect!

"incredibly well crafted" might be a little over the top

In any case, the creation of artistic products is intrinsically an “elite woe,” regardless of the financial status of the artist; priests and poets and painters are all members of the idle class (see Plato’s “Republic,” Book Two, on the creation of the “luxurious State”). At the same time, form reflects circumstances. I remember the early days of hip-hop—I had the sense that a new form was arising to express experiences that weren’t yet widely depicted, and that its aesthetic characteristics were integral to this communication. And those experiences, in that form, proved to have a worldwide, quasi-universal power

I'm generally cool with narratives about rich people -- lots of time for urban culture snobs (Woody Allen types) or upwardly mobile suburban professionals (Updike) -- but a big reason Sex and the City makes me uncomfortable (NB: I haven't actually seen it) is that it seems like a show that's not just set in an upper-class milieu but actively fetishizes material objects like designer shoes and fancy cupcakes.
This has nothing to do w/Lena Dunham, whose work I haven't seen, either, but whatever.

Sex and the City 2 was about the most grotesque consumerist thing I've ever seen. And I've seen all three Transformers films.

a friend of mine's wife insisted on naming their first daughter after her favorite sex and the city character so the daughter would "always have a reminder of who the right rolemodels are" :( :(

jeezus man, btwn this and the 3 silent features you've seen, put down the puzzles.
― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 14 April 2012 08:24 (twelve years ago) link
Not sure what you're objecting to there -- that I haven't seen SATC or that I'm biased against something I haven't seen? I'm sure there's plenty of quality TV you've missed, and I *know* you prejudge stuff all the time.
(Also, lol @ "put down the puzzles" as a zing. Pretty much the only time I solve crossword puzzles is on my commute. Would you rather I be watching silent films on my iPod?)

Yeah, that was rough.
The scene at her internship was what I didn't like about Tiny Furniture, the back and forth is already stilted and it's not helped by the way she shoots.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 16 April 2012 03:16 (twelve years ago) link
thought it was p good - i think that it can be so much looser than tiny furniture is a huge virtue
lol that she was interning @ tao lins publisher

Portlandia's a bunch of joeks. This is a bunch of people on the Internet either a) putting all their hopes and fears and desires on hoping we get our new Woody Allen ever since FREAKS AND GEEKS OMG NAILED IT or b) sniffling that its not getting the complexities of Tumblr whiteness right DUDE WHERES MY PANTS MTV(tm)
All on some show that had zero episodes until an hour ago and whoooooo carrrrres
