amazing amazing doc about photographer edward burtynksy, who's work is mostly about the impact of mega-scale industrialization--huge building projects, dams, extraction etc. mindblowing. opens with 11-minute tracking shot through huge chinese manufacturing plant. film also shows: ship wrecking yards where huge freighters are run aground and torn apart; towns where industry is primarily reclamation of e-waste (huge dumps full of circuit boards), 3 gorges dam project, so huge that when it was filled with water (reservoir is 600 kilometres long) the earth actually wobbled, rivers of bright-red nickel runoff, mining projects that carve huge stepped holes out of mountains.
one of the best movies of the year. and without a DOUBT the NOIZEST movie of the year.
A++++++++
SEE IT. on the big screen if it comes to your town. robyn don't miss it while it's at ex-centris.

This week I was presently surprised to see her in 2 ou 3 choses que je sais d'elle, which I had forgotten/never realized she was I in.
I also like her in Weekend.

I'm not behind it or anything, but I feel sort of incapable of disliking anything by Linklater (note: have not seen Waking Life). I was hoping he could do the whole movie without getting to the kill floor, though. I mean, it's all fun and games in Cannibal Holocaust when it's endangered turtles and stuff, but these are cows here.
I spent the entire movie trying to figure out who that sullenly pretty, surprisingly good actress was. I was all "she should get more parts," and then I realized it was Avril Lavigne.

This is a good reason. But..
"I also like her in Weekend."
I hadn't realized that she ws in it when I got the DVD a cpl of weeks ago.
"That said, it is remarkably well paced and nowhere near as tedious as it really should be."
Yes, obv with a broken-down viewing I don't know how boring it would be, and I have lots of patience but once you get hold of the pace in which his movies move at..
Some other things I watched this week:
"Fear Eats the Soul" (really good bunch of extras (2 hrs worth of) on this - Todd Haynes on Fassbinder ws pretty engaging, there is an old interview with the man himself, an ok-ish documentary and a 10-min short).
DVDs from library:
Mean Girls - well watching this alongside "fear eats the soul" I couldn't help comparing the four girls in this and the four cleaning ladies in "fear.."
"Elephant", "Last Days".
Godard's "Slow Motion" - The extra is a short film by JLG explaining some of the ideas behind the film (there is a really funny point he makes toward the end as to how he probably bored the viewer a bit but that's ok bcz its part of the act of creation..or something like that). Didn't know quite what to make of it except I wonder what went on between JLG and Isabelle Huppert..
TV:
"The Infernal Affairs" trilogy ws broadcast over here last week. Taped the last two as I'd watched the first one a few months ago. Big mistake as I couldn't remember the finer details on the first, so the 2nd and 3rd passed over my head. ah well..

* The character Stiles wears a number of colorful shirts in this movie. They appear in the following order: 1) Yellow shirt that says "Life sucks then you die", 2) Blue "Obnoxious: the movie", 3) Black "What are you looking at Dicknose", 4) Gray "Drunken State Florida", 5) Pink - no text, 6) Gray - unreadable, 7) Black - unreadable, 8) Hawaiian shirt, 9) White - "Wolf Buddy" and finally a white Teen Wolf shirt. Of the nine shirts he wears, only one appears to have no text on it.
