A few thoughts about Inception

Marcus — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:43:16 +0000

I just came back from watching Inception, and I don’t know why, but it did not really impact me as much as I had hoped. It wasn’t really a cinematic experience the same way, say, The Dark Knight was. However, (…)

I got on Reddit

Marcus — Wed, 12 May 2010 07:26:43 +0000

This is odd. I stumbled upon this, randomly posted it on Reddit, and the next day it was on the frontpage with 500 comments. Then MrBabyMan ripped it, and it landed on the Digg frontpage, and just now I found (…)

Marcus — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 16:18:44 +0000

I had to post this amazing rant about the ridiculous “just enjoy the movie” comment you often see in movie discussions. It is called “Moff’s Law” since the author’s user name is Moff. Of all the varieties of irritating comment (…)

Breaking the silence and wanting to hurt people

Marcus — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 08:41:09 +0000

I was too lazy to keep the new Tumblr-blog updated, so it seems like I’ll revert back to my good old blog here. I talked with a friend in Germany a couple of days ago, and he asked for more (…)

Crap, it’s been forever since I’ve blogged. Been busy, I guess. Anyway, the film festival CPH:PIX is currently running in Copenhagen, ending this Sunday. I’ve seen eight movies so far, and I though I would write some small reviews of (…)
