Moon, if you read my journals then I have to ask...how come you haven't blasted me for anything I've said? I tagged 'The Hobbit' for being a majoritively bad film. I snarked on 'Les Mis' regardless of the fact I ultimately loved it.
I wrote essays bitching about the illiteracy in film promotion for the past two decades. I roasted the elves in middle earth and I discoursed on the theory of feminist hypoagency. I even said I hated 'Brave'. And yet you never once commented on...any of those things? Are you secretly pissed, dissapointed or just fascinated? Or...do you agree with almost everything I've said since you started following my journals?
In which case, I kinduh want to ask...what did you think of my idea to promote the anime I want to make through typography as movie trailers?

I haven't seen The Hobbit so I can't really comment on it. I've never been a huge fan of Tolkien's writings to begin with. Les Mis is my second least favorite musical. West Side Story is number one but that has to do with the fact Romeo & Juliette is over rated and any version of it is not going to tickle my fancy. However, I also enjoyed Les Mis. I blame Anne Hathaway.
I have agreed with pretty much everything you've said so far. I usually don't comment for fear of sounding stupid. I usually read, digest, and enjoy your ideas and thoughts.
The human brain is a wonderful thing.
I think the typography movie trailers would be fantastic. It would be some thing new and different. Visually, I think we're attracted by words. I don't know how many times I have been watching a movie or some thing on TV, when I've been distracted be print on a sign or a tee shirt. If I can't figure out what it says it becomes all encompassing. I become obsessed by those words.

I loved Les Mis as a story, but fucking hated the third act where basically the play shat in my eyes by resorting to a contrived "true love" dynamic, like Romeo and Juliet does. P.S. I hate that play as well. It's egregiously over wrought and leans waaaaay too much on two-dimensional story telling. It's like 'okay, the two families fight....why?' I understand the families themselves don't know their original impetus for their ongoing vendetta, but, then again, neither do israelis and palestinians (not the whole story, anyway), they just know the most recent scandal that's sparked their animosity one to the other. If shakespeare had bothered unwedgeing his thumb from his ass (that was not a gay tag, by the way) long enough to bother explaining, maybe it would have began to be a credible anecdote. But, alas, the bard does nothing of the sort.
Also I don't buy that bullshit ending that reads like 'oh, these two idiot kids killed eachother because they don't know what a pulse is and how to check for one, welp, guess we better stop fighting! You know, this is probably not even the first time this shit's happened. I mean, our families have been in close contact for only a couple hundred years; and it's not like in an office environment it's not uncommon for feelings to develop: but whatever, let's all stop our war, let's have all our recent greivances against eachother GRIND to a halt because a jew and a nazi fell in love in the middle of world war two: it doesn't make any sense. People don't stop wars just because two numb nuts decided to run away with eachother. There are bodies on the floor. That's not something you can just brush to the side with a fist bumb and a rousing chorus of 'all you need is love' by the beatles. It's absolute, pure, unadulterated bullshit. Vietnam didn't stop when buddhist monks elected to burn themselves alive in protest. That's a much more powerful message, and is several times less self serving.
I agree with what Mercutio said, "a plague on both you houses!" Frankly, I feel like he was the only person who PROVED his love for someone else by fighting for Romeo's life.
