Those are some pretty harsh and definitive things to say about someone you have (probably) never met.

Re: Best / Worst of 2013
I'm starting to come to terms with Gravity and my love/hate relationship with it. First, I think it's a brilliant piece of cinema. As a work of art in that medium, it's undoubtedly one of the best ever produced. Second, I don't think it's a great movie. I think that using the vast, endless expanse of space to tell a super personal story about one character is interesting, but a mistake. I would have loved to see a more universal, almost existential story using that framework. But that's pretty much just All Is Lost.
So, yeah. Gravity isn't all that great as a story. But the way that it uses its art form to tell its story is just phenomenal. I don't know if that makes any sense, but whatever.

I mentioned in another thread that my sister hated Gravity. As she put it, once there was only one character, you know nothing would happen to her until the end of the movie so there was no suspense. I asked if she'd ever read Robinson Caruso, and she said 'no'

And I'm staying tuned to blu-ray.com, waiting for that Saving Mr. Banks release date. I got my screener copy and I'm already preparing for the evisceration that'll be known as the Saving Mr. Banks commentary.

Re: Best / Worst of 2013
Interesting discussion about the Star Treks, I completely agree with Brian though. The films are virtually the same, with the second film being slightly better in terms of the actual story. For instance, I don't really think anyone can deny that its central antagonist and his motivation is far superior to Nero.

Re: Best / Worst of 2013
I deny a whole hell of a lot about that movie. Next step is to deny it exists at all.
