Reserve

As I sat on the sofa, I leaned against an invisible shoulder.  I walked quickly right toward him. He also came toward me, so quickly that we almost hit each other's heads. We both laughed. The obstacle was that I couldn’t see what was holding me back today. 'I shouldn’t have run toward you. If I had been a little faster, we could have ended up hitting each other,' he said. I didn’t say anything. I thought the funnier this meeting began, the better it would be. Yet, typical him, he just a mind-reader. I only smiled and replied, "Let's just go walk, now." yet I remained frozen in space and time, just me and emptiness. We're walking to the city park and just went around, nothing really far but our steps actually might count like a mile. Restless just with him. I simply sat in silence, lost in my thoughts. It's nothing like there's no other place we can be. It's just I found my complete and I don't need to find anywhere else. "If only our ...

Do you know why it's hard to say goodbye? Because we afraid if our memories might not be able to remember them, rightly. The fact is, goodbye means good. No matter how hard.

Instead of Money

So, I met this one guy who thinks people makes movie for just money and not award. And, he asked me to mention all directors that I know who makes a movie for award. (I should just answer his question with Chris Evans script in The Loss of A Teardrop Diamond, "I'm poor, you're poor. And that's hard. But you got a moral decision to make!")
Yupp, So, here's what I told him:

+alvincyt You should be the one who's grown up (he told me to grown up). It's simply as a performance at night and what the newspaper will say for tomorrow morning. All movies or tv shows, of course they're made to entertain people. To make us laugh, cry, and full of emotions. 
So, how we honor their achievements? With awards.
How to proof their achievements? by the rating. Who's rating? Critic reviews.

So, if you are a smart audience, you should start to do a smart critic review for each movie you really know that is worth to watch. All of your rating just worthless without your critic review's title. Are you a producer/director/journalist/full-timer critic? That's what I want to say. While on tv show/sitcom/tv series, to keep them get another seasons, they need great rating/polling from their channel subscribers. But for movies? They need professional critic reviews to find if the movie really great or not as art.

And sales? Money? Everyone makes a movie because they need money. Everyone works for money. I need money, you need money. It's all common. They will do everything to sale their movie.  And of course, audiences are their money. Do you watch SyFy? They will make any kind of worst CGI monsters/creatures on the movie for money. But, is that how we see a movie?

Let's see: Michael Bay with the whole Transformers movies. Do you think his latest movies were good? Awesome graphics but lack of plots.
Marvel movies. Do you think all of them were good because they're on blockbuster? No. It's because we watch them all as Marvel comic fans or the actor/actress fans.

Peter Jackson, Alfred Hitchcock, Tim Burton, James Cameron, Sophia Coppola, Woody Allen, Hayao Miyazaki, Guillermo del Toro, Quentin Tarantino, Mel Gibson, Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott, Roman Polanski, Robert Zemeckis, Clint Eastwood, Ang Lee, and Christopher Nolan? They are true artists. They are the inventors, heroes for cinematography history. They even spend their own money to give us the real art of movie. They deserve award. (I forgot to put Steven Spielberg! #sorry)

To be a critic, you need review more than 50 movies with the whole detail issues on each movie. That's the professional critic review. Well, it's called "The Next Level". But maybe your level is People Choice's Award. So, sales and awards, they seem friendly than against each other on that annual event.

I leave it to you

If she reads this... Are you happy? I wish for my happiness every day. Are you smiling? I work so hard to put a smile on my face. Are you thankful? I have to keep saying it out loud until I do. Are you among friends? I don't have. Are you having future? I don't have. I wish I didn't fool myself. I wish I can wish something from the past. I hurt myself. I can't change. I have no longer chance. I thought I don't matter. In this time or after this time. I don't matter. Before you remember me, I wish I have already gone. So, you don't need to be so sad. When you turn your back to see me. When I'm gone.

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: Sense for Being Smart

Some people reacted with how the dumbest thing about BATMAN V SUPERMAN  wants to sound smart. Well, I want to watch a film that makes me giggled for how hacks of cinema arts are all over the place and makes me think how my hobbies like reading old books, watching old movies, remembering favorite old songs, and loving the past artists and characters becomes worth it.  The most odd thing is people hated when BATMAN V SUPERMAN  mostly took out many comic book references to each scene, each line, and each shot. They put it as a movie too lazy to develop, a parody of cleverness and cultivation. Most people go to cinemas are not always a comic book nerds or movie nerds and came from any aspects of department. They not love films like the way we do, the way I do. But for me by that definition, they think as: Superhero movies can't be a parody of cleverness and cultivation. Well, this is perfectly wrong.  " A parody " means its fun. " Cleverness ...
