actually, muser, i saw this film in a professional capacity to review, before it was released and before there was a herd to follow. So i reached my own conclusions. As i do in general.

I've also reached several fairly damning but ultimately amusing conclusions about you, but this is a family show :)

no, it's just more lighthearted than other terms of abuse i could wheel out. Almost playful, if you will. Because nothing you're saying is actually bothering me, I'm just enjoying watching you talk shite :D

Pertinent shite. Dub it is impossible for you to defend this film without resorting to invective.

wow, the great dub is no sheep. Glad you cleared that up.

So what you are saying is that he could have fed you any old shit and you would have blithely accepted he knew what he was talking about. As I have already stated sean gullette did not convince me he was a great mathematician. He was far too aloof to be taken seriously. Showing the audience of a man in study is no good if what comes out of his mouth is egotistical pap. You are following a small herd in liking this film. The fact that the herd is without me should make you happier.

Isn't the point of the film that his genius has made him crazy hence his maths isn't up to scratch? :confused:

No his maths is up to scratch, the way he is interpreting his findings aren't.

No, it's entirely possible to defend this film without resorting to invective. It's just not as much fun as calling you a monkey.

Monkey :)

Well there you have it folks, either you are intellectually challenged (or a monkey in dub talk) or you understand the inner workings of narrative cinema (me:) )

that polarity doesn't even fit the argument you're making, does it?

because you're a monkey. :)

You are now trying to dissect my argument without making an argument of your own. Counterproductive to say the least. Monkeys could do better than you, and are!
 
Dub - please, as an ape, I take exception to you using the word monkey pejoratively. Stop sullying primates everywhere!

I wasn't aware I had an argument to make, beyond my earlier assertion that Pi is not arthouse wank, and that an understanding of maths is not essential to enjoying it. Beyond that, I'm just abusing you for shits n giggles :)

So the film is reduced to cinematography and narrative. Well at last we have it. Mr Aronofsky did well with the cinematography but little else. I have a friend who is an engineer who dispises anything that isn't mainstream, or mainstream offbeat. I brought the film while in his company and I had high hopes and commented on that fact, only to tell him a few days later that is was rubbish. He said he could have told me that.
I truly feel deflated that I lacked so much as it promised so much.
On IMDB they are recommending 'proof', has anyone seen it, is it worth getting. I will only download, no more cash transactions.

where did anyone say that? you're rather fond of putting words into people's mouths aren't you, monkey?

I'm saying that you waste of purile drivel. 35,000 post and not a sensible one in there, you must be desperate to impress people who already know what you're all about.

I thought it was better suited as a play than as a film. Still, worth seeing imho.

Pi is for pretentious, middle class adolescents (who have failed their maths exam). A beautiful minds did it far better. And if you disagree with that I will swing for your fucking chin :mad:

1. Call outs online are for sad little children

2. Pi was a FICTIONAL film, unlike Beautiful Mind which was based on FACTUAL events.

And not as good - in fact BM is JUST as full of chlichés as any other movie about a math/physics genius.

You're more than entitled to your opinion on Pi - and you've expressed it sort of well - but you are very much in the minority of people who've seen it and disliked it.

Blinding soundtrack as well.

Anyway, back to the dissappointment that was S5 of Bab5 - could have been SO much better, and you can see it in the eps where they had money and were certain that they could continue shooting, but the whole teeps sub plot would have been far more fun had they simply focussed on Lyta's 'Doomsday telepath' development I reckon.

And the Crusade TV series deviates on several occassions from the Pilot movie...and has anyone seen the 'Rangers' stuff? Done after Crusade...
