arts and entertainment

Indignation has all the ingredients for a fine movie and will probably be nominated for best picture in the Oscars but I’m not sure if I like it. The Film in my mind the next morning but so is a hangover after I’ve had too much fun and this isn’t even my 1st drink. That’s the point Indignation has fine acting and  a great script but is it truly entertaining? It went in unexpected directions which is what I want a film to do but at times my mind was going in different directions as well such as looking at my watch. There are points of compelling drama but just points not a whole story.  Indignation even leaves you with unanswered questions such as what if the main character did…. and should have I waited to see this movie on Redbox instead.

Is it it splitsville for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt or is it following the Trump philosophy where no publicity is bad publicity? All we have to do is analyze their recent box office take and see whether their is a no movie in the pipeline.  I know I’m being a bit cynical but we’ve played this movie over and over again as if it’s the only movie in town.  If it’s really true that the papers are signed I hope they’ll reconsider for their children and because it will make a better sequel.

I may not have gallery celebrating my art but at least I made some $ on my art while I’m alive. It’s a tragedy that Vincent Van Gogh never knew the talent he was as he died a poverty striken artist yet G-D willing he we can now see what he’s achieved through a gate in the cloud.  While I may never reach the post-life success that this great artist has made I know today that the art I’ve produced in film and writing has reached more people while I’m alive then this wonderful artist had in his lifetime and actually sent a coin my way.  That gives me hope that when I’ve gone through the golden gates (G-D willing) my writings and art will put in some gallery as well but if not at least I’ve had more success then the great one’s while I was still here.
