I spent some time today to bring old bokujony.com back online. The main reason was, the old posts on this site still links to pictures in the Old Gallery.
And I’m not helping the matter by using yet another picture from the Old Gallery.
Didn’t see many snails last year.. It was probably too cold. Maybe they’ll come back this year?
I Rate it: Some parts awesome.
It’s about greed and how it corrupts. I think knowing that helps with appreciating the movie. The soundtrack is also really weird and interesting.
Gotta watch more hollywood fluff to offset these dense movies I’ve been watching.

My policy of not reading anything about a movie before watching it failed me this time. Go read the “Themes and style” section of the Wikipedia Entry. The emphasis is on things that people usually don’t expect out of a movie nowadays. That’s my excuse for not picking it out when I watched it. And I don’t think there’ll be many movies like this in the near future.
Everything makes sense now, including that Best Picture win.
