Jedi council take the back seat

Wmm's visual response to the photo of the new Star Wars cast sitting in a ring

Fear of Wuthering Heights

1) Today I am erasing my misperception that in the song Wuthering Heights, Kate Bush sing "It's me. It's me , Oh Cathy, come home now!" instead of  "Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy, I've come home " 

2) And this would be followed by the line " So-ho-ho. I'm cleaning your window" instead of the line "I'm so cold, let me in in-a-your-window " Indeed there would be no reference to Heathcliff at all.

3) The story might be that Cathy ran away, because her window was dirty and it was Kate who had to clean them otherwise Cathy would not return.

4) Kate had to show that she herself was in the act of cleaning the windows to show Cathy that she didn't just get someone else to do it

5) Did Kate have to phone her up where she was staying and make sure that the sound of the wet cloth rubbing against the window could be heard?

6) No answer to that indeed and now the very idea will fade away since I've watched the video after many years and finally read the lyrics and the story being told to me has changed..

7) The other thought begins to form immediately that Cathy was always home but not mentally, and the window was always clean but not to Cathy

8) And Kate has to simply mime out the action of cleaning the window with a dry duster , or perhaps. she might even be holding a piece of perspex in her hand or anything that looks glass like and cleaning this, every time that Cathy's eyes look more and more distant.

Her

a) Beforehand: Having ideas about going to see the movie "Her" today. He might just about get there in time.

b) Afterwards: "Her" almost had the feeling of a Canadian scifi movie without Canadians. It was quite pleasing enough, generally sweet and maybe at times cruel. Probably a movie to watch once. It also brought Wmm to consider various things going on in Nymphomaniac Part 1. However I think these days that if a software company came up with an artificial life form and it was capable of using your private information, you might not want to get as close as that to it, but the naive perspective of the situation was the only way to make a fun and unusual movie and it wasn't as if the artificial life form was going to start trying to sell you health insurance, or whatever it was you were innocently browsing for about five minutes on Amazon or Ebay for the six to eight weeks. There are questions though about what you would share with an AI that had access to every file on your computer and even a way of looking further.

Non-Stop

a) Beforehand
Had better get going into central London. Will I get to the cinema in time to see the new movie that stars Liam Neeson that takes place aboard a plane and has a title which Wmm can of course not remember, but is by the same director as Unknown which Wmm thinks of as Total Recall remake. I wonder if this new Liam Neeson movie will be like a disguised remake of another science fiction movie, but is not wondering as much as that. I'm prepared to accept all if today's plans disintegrate while sitting on the train.

b) Afterwards
1) The new Liam Neeson movie Non-Stop was wonderfully mind bending stuff but became disinteresting once one found out who was doing what and why and then mercifully it quickly finished. Explanations were not ultimately worth knowing about and how whoever was doing what and when was not ultimately explained. I'd would like some sort of a rumour about some sort of an alternate ending to float around.
2) Looks as if there are a good few disappointed by the ending
3) well, I suppose they bring in money, just wish the ending was a bit better, the cinematography was nice, it had possibilities. It might have been nice if he did Spielberg's movie about Lincoln but Spielberg left it too late and he felt too old to play the role  

Inside Llewyn Davies

Before hand:A day to go and see the movie "Inside Lewellyn". Must now head out, it is raining indeed in London once again.

Afterwards: 
1)"Inside Llewyn Davis" was a wonderful movie indeed. To a certain degree the story was abstract in a dream like manner with some of the pointless scenarios one might experience in dreams, and the story maintained an ambient pathway throughout as the lead character goes through his life filled with ups and downs and perhaps he comes to a realisation about the repetitive circles that his life runs around in

2) Is Llewyn a real name or just a case of not being able to fit Llewellyn onto the American tongue 

3) I see it is called "inside Llewyn" and not "inside Lewelllyn" at all. A realisation indeed

Robocop (remake)

Very enjoyable remake and an interesting moment of mind bending horror too

21st February, 2014
Wmm feels very unhinged still from the time he saw the new Robocop movie last week and there was the big reveal where Robocop is allowed to see the remains of his own human body, he imagines that it must have had the same effect on the other people in the audience. Wmm almost dares say that the scene is worthy of something that a modern Jean Cocteau might have come up with. Perhaps there was something of Francis Bacon comparison with the scene showing Robocop mounted on his frame. Wmm will be off to see it again next week for that one scene. The rest of the film was enjoyable and interesting enough considering.

24th February , 2014 
Beforehand:
1) Heading off to central London and should be rewatching the Robopoc or Ropocob movie or some sort of movie with a name similar to that.

2) It was good to see the movie one more time but had a strangely not so good time trying to get there. . Phantom bus listed that never arrived at the local bus stop listed on the internet, then no buses came at the cross road about ten minutes walk away for quite some time, and then when arrived at Piccadilly, it turned out the the underpass to the Trocadero was shut and then the front entrance to the Trocadero cinema was shut due to refurbishment. Should have listened to that intuitive statement about using the back entrance but the context didn't unfold until I found out why the hard way

3) Obviously must have had a strangely brilliant time getting there indeed, forget the "not so good".  Lateness was obviously perfect and just on time

Jack Ryan movie

a) Managed to finally see the Jack Ryan; Shadow Recruit movie yesterday. 

b) Still am attempting to stamp out the realisation that Kenny Branagh's pretending to be Russian, and the Jack Ryan movie is indeed almost quite passable and stylish at times. 

c) Still trying to work out which part of the world Kiera Knightly's character was from, not ultimately sure. 

d) Dracula's bodyguard from the TV series made an appearance but maybe he should have been armed with a saw, a woodaxe or even a pencil sharpener to stay alive. 

e) Unconvinced by Chris Pine as Jack Ryan but maybe that's okay. 

f) Yes, will see a sequel starring Chris Pine just to be unconvinced even further when the time comes. 

g) If I remade the movie, I'd have the actors wandering around trying desperately to avoid being caught in a world governed by idiot plots and British actors trying to fight off their transformations into characters with dodgy accents as if it were a weird brain affliction taking over, and the American actors were slowly turning into dummies and puppets carved from wood that's quickly petrifying. There must be a cure for these people.  

h) Appreciated the blue tones in much of the cinematography.
