  • It’s a masterclass in acting, cinematography, and soundtracking. Not only that, but Mario Puzo’s novel which came out shortly before the movie was produced was a smash hit.

    In the 70s, movies didn’t look like The Godfather. They looked like weird objective cameras put on a tripod and just filming actors, with not as much thought put into the “feel” of the film. FFC (as well as other directors such as Hitchcock and Kubrick) essentially invented modern cinematography. Remember watching Avatar for the first time? It was kind of like that for movie going audiences.

    It was always hailed as an “epic drama” so you have to kind of temper your expectations based off that. It’s not a “murder a minute” gangster flick like a Scorsese picture.






  • The Gift, starring Jason Bateman.

    The movie itself is fairly well made, albeit low budget af because it’s a Netflix movie. The problem is the plot.

    spoiler

    A kid that Jason Bateman’s character used to bully in high school grows up and becomes a terrifying stalker out to get revenge. Jason Bateman’s wife at first is terrified, but then leaves him after it’s revealed he used to be a bully. Because THAT’S what you should focus on right? You should definitely be concerned with the type of person “someone who wants to kill you” says your husband used to be 30 years ago. Not the “someone who wants to kill you” person. Nope. They’re alright.





  • You don’t. This girl doesn’t owe you her attention or time. If you ever make eye contact with her, and she isn’t giving you eyes that communicate “I think you’re attractive, come over to talk to me” then keep moving, friend. There are a ton of women out there, and many of them are interested in meeting men.

    Eye contact. She smiles at you? Game on. She looks away quickly but doesn’t smile? She isn’t into you.



  • Did you have a question or are you informing us that we can use the internet to promote our projects?

    From the looks of things, you’re an artist who doesn’t know how to promote themselves on the internet. I have an idea: don’t. Build up your body of work, present it in public at a gallery. Do something locally that will get eyes on your artwork. Do a huge wall mural. Do a big guerilla piece of artwork involving a group of people. If you’re a musician, you should be playing shows, not worrying about your online presence.

    Art is consumed and spit out by the internet faster than you can say “artistically bankrupt”. It won’t garner you much attention to advertise and promote your art online.
