I've been getting annoyed with myself recently -- sitting watching YouTube for hours. Watching pointless videos that make me feel nothing but depression and emptiness.
So I'm going to try to get back into watching more films, and trying to blog a bit better about them.
So I came home from work yesterday, and I was tired, but I decided to put this film on. And I'm really glad I did, because it was one hell of a ride. I'd heard about the film before, and always thought (incorrectly) that it was just a straightforward comedy about a comedian.
It wasn't.
It was a strange film about obsession and fame. It was disturbing, and it felt a little bit like Taxi Driver, like there was this violence, aggression or madness bubbling underneath the surface of it all, that at any point it would all just come gushing out.
But I really enjoyed this. I spent most of my time watching it with my hand on my head and my mouth open in incredulity. 8/10
