A story about "2046" — 2 years ago
NOT WORTH CONSUMING
after the first notes of “quizas, quizas, quizas” played in “in the mood for love,” the lovers could have killed themselves, mistakenly believing the other to be dead, ad infinitum, and it would have been a lovely movie.
but in “2046,” the aesthetic wasn’t good, continuing the course of more-depressing-less-lovely hinted at by “days of being wild.”
A story about "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" — 2 years ago
WORTH CONSUMING!
i was starving for a fresh dystopia (nuclear annihilation is SO 1987!) and wound up with “magic kingdom” in my grubby little hands. it’s a fresh dystopia, but much as i like boing boing and just stumbling across cory doctorow’s flickr page, i have to admit that, like other commenters, i didn’t care about the characters.
the theme, “when death is gone, no one will know what to do with so much life,” is an important one. but i ended up with the impression that a “love” story with a gal who was presented as nothing so much as a philandering bimbo was supposed to be the “meaning of life.”
i’ve done some philandering bimbos in my day. i sure hope there’s more.
