I read that as "Great Overclocked Films". And I was, like, WTF?

That "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" poster is a beautiful bit of design/illustration.

Indeed, the strong-edged colors were specifically developed for large-scale art (think Soviet agitprop). Abused these days by Charles Schwab and A Scanner Darkly and every single pseudo-Mucha flyer made with Adobe Illustrator.

Interesting.
I thought it was a paint-by-numbers kit. |

It's an exaggeration and imitation of the Art Deco style pioneered by J.C. Leyendecker. (That's just my opinion, of course, Metro. I think Mucha is more closely associated with an almost comic-book flat-color and stylized line look, which I also like quite a bit.)

I just finished "Where the Buffalo Roam". Murray is no Depp, but when you spend 7 straight hours watching "buy-the-ticket-take-the-ride", "Where the Buffalo Roam", then straight into "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" you realize the time and effort Bill 'the drug-addicted, spousal abuser, and serial adulterer' Murray dedicated to not merely understanding HST but living him is truly great acting. (also big up to Boyle)

A local university had an early evening screening of a fabulous German film, Die Fälscher or The Counterfeiters.

Yes. Cool ideas, some very cool sequences. Somehow it just didn't come together, though. Sort of went clunk at the end. (My opinion, of course.) |
