This is the inaugural episode of a feature that I hope to evolve over time to explore what constitutes a sentence. I love, love, love long rambling, twisting-and-turning, run-on sentences, and I hope to make one or two of those in the future.
Here it is, with links to the most official site I could find, if you want more information.
A Fair To Remember: I really wanted more hard facts and less animated archival photographs that made me feel like I was watching The Secret Life of… on Food TV.
Beings: If the movie had stayed as weirdly impressionistic as the first ten minutes instead of devolving into actors walking funhouse hallways for what felt like three hours, I wouldn’t have hated it.
Man in the Chair: Movie reference, Christopher Plummer being grumpy, movie reference, unrealistic portrayal of youth culture, movie reference, plot instigator, Kaposi’s Sarcoma, rats in retirement homes, ham-fisted dog catcher metaphor, conflict, resolution…all done well enough to hook me.
Living and Dying: If you are going to have a rape scene in a made-for-TV movie, you better be damned sure that it’s the best made-for-TV movie in the history of made-for-TV movies, hacky jerks.
Borland: I think a boy fell down a sewer pipe in this snail-paced but really enjoyable meditation on Small Town, Texas, but I’m not sure.
