Next up The wolf of wall street (2013) a Docudrama/dark comedy Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, a rags to riches to story that eventually leads to his downfall. A cracking movie, strong performances from all the actors and an entertaining story that's both interesting and humorously delivered with a good slice of sexy thrown in for good measure. Well worth a watch.

As great of a movie that is, I think too many people got the wrong message from it. You see guys on social media all the time wanting to be LIKE Jordan Belfort, dude, no!!! The entire movie is basically showing how much of a POS he was while ruining the lives of so many people. He did it with great style and flair, as the movie shows, but at the end of it all, nothing he did made him a good person in real life. He seems better now and truly apologetic for his actions, but the message of the movie definitely went over so many people's heads.

That reminds me of this picture I saw today:

Fight Club is another example of a movie where people idolize the main character even though the entire movie is about how terrible he is.

Agreed. all things considered, he got away quite light for the serious crimes that were committed. i guess he played the game, got his plea bargain early and screwed everyone else over. no mention as to what happened to the original crew, but i'm sure i can dig up that information.

Just watched Memoir of a Snail (IMDB link) last night, not at all what I was expecting but a very welcome surprise to what it ended up being. It's a claymation/stop motion animated movie about the life of a girl named Grace and all the ups and downs she has experienced. It takes place in present time as she recounts her childhood and early adult life and all the tragedies inbetween. At times it's quite sad, at other times the black humor really makes you laugh. It's a bit of a slice of life movie, where the main character is recounting all the horrible events and funny moments that has led up to where she is currently at.

The animation and artwork is beautiful, incredibly detailed, and wonderful to look at. The stories she tells go from completely absurd to heartbreaking at times, so it's a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions, but that is what I liked about the movie the most. A bit of a depressing movie, but overall not going to make you cry or feel bad for a week. Highly recommended.

Since I had some free time from work. I decided to watch a few old movies that have fascinated me. I intend to watch five movies before resuming work in three days. I just started watching King Arthur. It's a movie that reminds me of some of the materials I read in school when we studied the Matter of Britain.
