This is the soundtrack to my divorce. I submit my Ultimate Divorce / Breakup Mix for consideration, criticism, and inquiries to further study. Please contribute if you have any feelings about this at all.
The movie begins at the end, and fasts backwards to the beginning of despair of manhood. "Bob had bitch tits." The support group for testicular cancer survivors portends the emasculation our society has embraced, wept over, and become addicted to.
Stephen Merritt is the creative force behind The Magnetic Fields, which brings you an opus of poetry and phonal emotion to cover the entire range of "Love." That's what pop music is all about right?
When I sat down to watch The House of Sand and Fog, I was leery of this “drama” and expected a sleeper. I was pleasantly surprised by a riveting tale with two protagonists, who are also one in the same as the two antagonists. The difficulty seems to have no clear cut “good guy” and “bad guy” so one continues watching trying to figure out who to root for.
Matt Damon really is an excellent actor. He shines in the role of Jason Bourne in the Bourne Identity series. The characters were authentic from the first one, however they progressed the story well. We are privy to some details of the mystery of Jason Bourne’s identity that he is not, which makes following his questions and actions a little confusing. Thankfully, we get to see the world through Jason’s eyes most of the time, and this brings excitement to the film.
John Vanderslice is a wordsmith who deals in half-statements and metaphors intended to illicit a certain emotive response to his tirades. The musical accompaniment is daring, in that instead of pushing “forward” to more digitally precise sounds, he moves “backward” to sloppy production style and inclusion of ambient noises.
