The Genius Of Terence Malick

I get it now. You're being ironic! Right? Right? Well, it's either that, or you fall into the 'intimidated by movies that make you think' category. Can you guess what my money is on? Oh...nevermind.

Haw, haw. Move on, my dear. Move on.

There's no intimidation here just totally boredom and mental masturbation coming form your corner. Instead of trying to convince me further with perhaps a more down-to-earth approach you fire back by calling me stupid whilst opening up opportunities to flex your vocab. If You're going to go on the defensive every time someone disagrees with you, it makes you seem like you're the one being intimidated. Oh the irony!

I voted Badlands, even though I need to see Days of Heaven and his latest film, which looks fantastic.

Badlands is a sublime 70s film, I recommend you see that film at least Nevermind, it's just fabulous. With an amazing music score, especially the music from Carl Orff. The music is used wonderfully in one scene involving a tree house and

Oh I will give them a try like a said in my first post. Thank you for pointing out something good about his films. Same with you DW.

If you have a penis, you jerk-off once in a while. If you have a brain...

I have no interest in simplifying my vocabularly to appease someone who showed in his very first post to be totally ignorant. If you had actually seen any of his films, then I would have been happy to discuss them with you. As it is, you make presumptions that have no basis in experience, and clearly demonstrate a level of ignorance that would denote to most people that you are a gibbering amoeba.

You were right about one thing, though; I am totally bored with you. Please try and back-track some more, to keep the wonderful chicken dance you're doing going. I like it when you flap your wings.

Nothing to see here...

I've decided to honor you with one more remedial class.

I've simplified it even further for you...

Dark Wizard's + Mild Possession's x A Dictionary = Ya Krunk'd Floo's

I can go even more 'Nevermind' for you:

DW + MP x D = YKF

Now, please either watch the movies or cluck out of here.

I knew I said something wrong there. Yesterday I had Vietnam Jammed into my head after watching.....

Full Metal Jacket

Platoon

and The Deer Hunter

For some reason it seemed like a good idea at the time to watch as many 'nam movies as possible.

😬

As for The Argument, Let's tone it down a bit eh?

I never ask you to simplifying your vocab, and what I love about your's that you can create such an impressive opinion about the film without saying much at all. Bravo. As for the movie/s, I posted an assumption of what I thought they might (2nd time I've had to underline that for you) be like. I could be totally wrong they could very well be as grand as you make them out to be. Which is why I said I would watch them. My comments in my 1st post were more directed to you than the movies, since you represented them in your review.

If I've been going in circles it's only because you've been bring up the same points over & over again.

No see it doesn't. In your first post you cum all over the guy by talking about his background (fair enough, I won't prosecute you there). Then you just talk about how good the movie is. MP and DP said why his movies were good. You failed to mention any production value at all. DW mention the great casting and MP mention a great music score. How about next time you write about how good a film is you list reasons why they are.

A dictionary + You = a pointless rant.

Who died and made you mod?

Wow. Your drivel never ceases to dribble dry, huh? That's impressive in itself, if we found ourselves in a thread named 'Nevermind and The Banality He Spews', however this happens to be a thread about the films of Terence Malick. Films that you have neither seen, nor - prior to this thread - even heard about! I congratulate you for being obstinate enough to continue posting, but you really are just making a fool out of yourself. Still, if your aim is to be a sad clown...ha. Ha. Clap. Clap.

You're clutching at straws with your 'failed to mention any production value at all' jibe. You managed to register that I stated the movies are good, but you seem to think that a comment like "Ooo, nice casting!" is more relevent than an observation of his films as a whole! You are a silly clown, aren't you?

If you were an intelligent person you would realise the error of your ways and quitely slip away. However, you being the antithesis of this type of character, I await your next slack-jawed slobber with a feeling of gentle ambivalence; I like showing you up, but I also find it rather boring. What's it to be, Coco?

Take it to PM.

It's cool. I'm done.

Wow! More than half of that is insulting me than actually retorting to my post. True, I know nothing of the Terence Malick's work, which is why I come to a forum to learn more about film and discuss the one's I love. Silly me coming here to assuming I could learn something about this guy.

Dear God! You say I'm doing the chicken dance! I have responded to this a million times. I gave an assumption of what I thought they MIGHT be like. God gave me the freedom of speech and I am entitled to use it.

Yeah, I think a comment like "Nice casting" is more relevant than your view on movies as a whole. Because you fail to give any evidence on how the greater aspects of the film were done.

I thought I share this last comment with the public. Like DW said, if you want to continue with this little debate you hold so dear give me a PM.

First off, it's hardly a debate! I'm educating you, but you offer nothing in return!

Now to the only part of your post that respected DarkWizard's warning:

Are you ready for kindergarten class? OK, let's begin...

You're an idiot.

My work with you is done. If you need any more lessons, seek a remedial class teacher. I find it rather boring to have to simplify my language for kids who cannot understand.

So much for being done. This is not evidence. This is saying how good they are. If his movies are like movies painting, how is this done? Camera work? Dialogue? Mention something. How is the infusion of "unrelenting Critique of humanity's folly" shown? Great casts? Wonderful scripts? Fantastic teaching there. Are you sure your not taking a seat in this remedial class of your's?

I haven't seen Badlands. Is it any good?

Movies are more than the sum of their parts.

Aside from that, if you dislike being labelled 'an idiot', then I would recommend you stop acting like one.

How are his movies like paintings? Perhaps remarking about 'the ethereal beauty of his cinema' is related...

How is the infusion of "unrelenting critique of humanity's folly" shown? If you are interested, perhaps you should watch the movies...

Your behavior is exactly like an unimaginative student. Instead of experiencing the movies for yourself, you want to be told explicitly what is good about them.

If you are an adult, I fing it terribly sad to see such pathetic behavior. You have contributed nothing to this thread, apart from being a case-study of humiliation. Another aspect of an annoying child, is that they don't know when to stop when they are doing something wrong. I suggest you take my advice: Stop now.

Badlands is a starkly beautiful film; dead animals are framed like paintings and psychopaths are set in sunsets. As with all of Malick's movies, it is amazing to look at, but this aesthetic beauty is juxtaposed with a study of the banality of evil. It's kind of like 'Bonnie And Clyde', but with more complex morals.

I think you should look over that message yourself. Calling comeone an 'Idiot', 'stupid' or a 'Clown' for that matter, isn't very High on the Maturity scale. Not only is it immature, but you started it. You really did. Just because someone has a different view of things does not give you the right to Throw words at random. If someone doesn't flow the same way as you do, they aren't inferrior to you. That's a problem you should work on.
