The Cube

2007-04-22

“I saw The Cube a couple of times as a kid. But I really don’t remember when. For my entire life it seemed like a dream.

The Cube is about the existential dilemma faced by a man who suddenly finds himself trapped inside an 8 foot by 8 foot cube.

…On another layer, TV itself is The Cube.
It presents us with attention deficit clich`s which offer no insights or answers – just entertainment.
It teases us with familiarity and humor, but ultimately leaves us feeling empty and trapped.”.

(Patrick Flanigan about The Cube by Jim Henson, 1968)

The Movie Cliches List

2006-05-15

The Movie Cliches List: “a list of the most annoying and common logic flaws and stereotypes found in movies.”. A sample:

War
“You’re very likely to survive any battle in any war, unless you show someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.”
Weapons
“Shots fired at the rear of a vehicle will cause the gas tank to explode.”.

Helicopters
“In movieland, there’s an abundance of corrupt helicopter pilots. Villains have no problem renting a helicopter complete with pilot who doesn’t mind shooting total strangers, or being shot at.”.

The famous bean dish

2006-01-04

A Genius, two Partners and a Dupe – Nobody is the Greatest (Damiano Damiani, 1975) is the first movie I’ve seen in my life.

So I must mention Terence Hill‘s website; there is a wide archive of photos and informations about his movies.
And, most of all, his famous recipe: the bean dish seen in the spaghetti-western They Call Me Trinity (E.B.Clucher, 1970).
