Clockwork Wonka

Last night I watched 1984. The movie was actually made in 1984. It was a little boring. There was not much action and the pace of the movie was pretty slow. The acting was really good though. It reminded me of Pink Floyd's "The Wall". I seem to remember in the wall how the hammer people did a similar salute. It all harkens back to the old heil days in the 40s. Now "The Wall" was a good movie. That movie was really a precursor to MTV. It had music set to cartoonie stuff and showed how the characters felt about their music. Most people find it disturbing, but if you watch it solely for the music you won't be disappointed. I remember at Tech they showed it on a theater and turned up the sound system. That was really cool.  I've seen my fair share of disturbing movies or cult movies as they are called. I find that they are more creative than your run of the day movie. There is content that makes you think and it doesn't have a normal plot structure. My favorites would be "Willy Wonka", "Clockwork Orange", "Rocky Horror", "Pulp Fiction" and tons of others. If you like weird, you'll like cult movies.

 

Thought of the Day

"Is it raining, is it snowing, is a hurricane a blowing? Not a speck of light is showing so the danger must be growing. Are the fires in hell glowing? Yes! Yes and it's certainly no showing, any signs that it is slowing!"

"This has gone far enough Wonka!"

"Quite right sir, stop the boat!"

-- Willy Wonka

 


Comments:
Speaking of cult movies, have you ever done "The Dark Side of Oz?" It's when you play the "Wizard of Oz" movie, while listening to Pink Floyd's "Dark side of the moon" album? You start the album when the Metro Golden Meyer lion grawls for the third time. It's pretty neat. Pink Floyd has always denied any coralation, but it seems to go along with the movie. By the way, your quote is wrong....."Is a hurricane a flowing?"
