Finished watching "8 1/2." That was nothing short of an experience. A tragic look into the life of a hopelessly ambitious yet aimless filmmaker, making for a difficult movie to watch, but one with much thematic genius to offer for one willing to put the work into decyphering it. A definitive film about filmmaking and artistry in general. Maybe the reason surrealism is as widespread as it is today. "Twin Peaks" or something else Lynchian may be the ideal entryway to surrealism, though.

As astounding as "8 1/2" was, I think I'll find a good ol'-fashioned action romp a bit refreshing after this dizzying character study. Good thing LAC is on the way!

On another note, you got a chance to see "Alien" yet?
