Ohira Film Festival 2006 Vol# 797

Among the myriad of films viewed this weekend, we saw Little Otik. This movie is the funniest shit ever. Very, very good. Characters, so well developed and awesome I hated almost all of them. Almost all of them I wanted to die. Except the Otik's father was great. He's probably the only sensible person in the entire film. Also Alzbetka´s father. That guy was great as well.

Renting this movie is totally worth it just to see the father's reaction when he made the wooden kid for his wife and his wife all of a sudden reacts as if it's real and goes with it.

Have you heard "I Can't Get Behind That"? That song is bomb. The drumming reminds me of the 411 Theme song/Hawai'i Five-O theme song. Then the lyrics are just great in itself. Come on, Henry Rollins and William Shatner ranting about stuff they can't get behind? That's probably the most fail-proof song in the history of mankind. It could be just Shatner and Rollins ordering food from a Chinese Menu and it'll go platinum. "I can't get behind student drivers using my streets to practice driving. When you learn to drum, you don't go to the studio. Use the parking lot!"

I watched Rocky & Rocky II yesterday as well. Like everyone, every time I watch that movie, I get super inspired and start working out more and harder. Unlike everyone who watches it, every time I watch it, I always think about drinking that five raw eggs drink he did before he started his five-week training regimen.

The little girl and her mom were great characters! So much subtlety. I hate that in most films and in most books the female characters are under-developed or unbelievable (before you make fun of me, seriously, how many films do you see where there are at least two women and they actually talk to each other?), but I thought the the female characters were great in this movie.
