Paterson (2016)

  Well, this movie has to be the world’s most cynical take on art: it’s gonna be shit anyway, so why even bother…. Or maybe it was a brilliant juxtaposition of form and substance: a movie about a terrible poet in the form of one of his abhorrent poems being turned into its cinematic equivalent.   Avoid!     And they locked that poor dog in the garage for eating that guys notebook. I’m probably exactly like the characters Jim   Jarmusch , the director and writer of the movie, makes fun of in this one. Maybe that's why i didn't like it.   What a dark two hours that was….maybe it was the movie i deserve right now, but not the one i needed.   A truly gut wrenching experience! I’m not even gonna google it, because i’m sure it has something like 7,9/10 on IMDB (maybe even more, what a horrible thought!). That other Jim said it well: " people are strange ..." Hey, maybe that was the point of this movie! Well done!     What did that ...

Jurassic Park (1993)

Isla Nublariin Jurassic Parkkiin vaan, lähti nuoret miehet innoissaan Costa Ricasta länteen hommailemaan, joukolla DNA:ta sorkkimaan Autot parkkiin Jurassic Parkkiin vaan, mut moni jäänyt ei nenäänsä kaivamaan Saapui Granttikin takaisin aikanaan, vain reikiä taskuissaan (translation by yours truly coming soon) This is an excerpt from the poem Jurassic Park by M. Rakki , first published in Horinoita kahdennenneltakymmenennenneltä vuosisadalta ja lorinoita urinaaleissa (2018). The poem contains an interpolation of Amerikkaan, Amerikkaan by J. Koivisto . The excerpt also contains parts of Does Humor Belong in Music? by F.V. Zappa . Despite persistent attempts, Rakki’s poems have never been published in Tuli & Savu . Stay tuned for more…..

Disturbia (2007)

(This essay was edited 05.03.2023) … Fade in Opening credits ” I am just a copy of a copy of a copy ” That was a excerpt from " Copy of a ", which is a song by NIN (short for Nine Inch Nails ) from their 2013 album Hesitation Marks . NIN are American but their name looks kind of German doens’t it, even the abbreviation does. Actually they bring to mind the German band Kraftwerk . Well...no wonder the German Rammstein has a lot of NIN in their visual and audial aesthetics . Now that i think about it Rammstein are almost like a………like a copy of a copy of a….. What has all this got to do with the movie i am about to review, Disturbia ? Well, let me explain: Disturbia is a movie from 2007 directed by D.J. Caruso . It has the following plot: " a  teen living under house arrest becomes convinced his neighbor is a serial killer . " I’ll leave my analysis of the movie to that excerpt from the song and to this piece of info: the ancient Greeks had a te...
