longfellow again.......i need to read more of his poetry, an actual BOOK!! i like the visual images this quote evokes =0) Men of genius are often dull and inert in society, as a blazing meteor when it descends to earth, is only a stone. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, poet (1819-1892) |

society can be stubborn and frustrating at times |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Of course, if that meteor (if it's big enough) hits the Earth, then men of genius AND society becomes dull and inert PERMANENTLY! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA! ;) |

see's visions of bad movies, such as Armageddon flashing through my mind *DUCKS and COVERS* =0) |

they are dull coz they are always talking about their new theorys and contraptions they invented, and the chick sez 'want to come back to my place', and he sez 'my grandfather invented beds in 1894' and she leaves and he goes to talk to the bald guy in the corner and get his face rearranged..... and meteors are made of ice, or at least they should be |

so you think MEN of genius are dull? OR that all bad movies end up that way? i'm confuzzled =0) |

movies about genius people are definitely boring and also-they're all alike i saw "iris" about iris murdoch with judy dench-only positive thing about that movie was mrs.dench |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
hummm i don't agree....."Immortal Beloved" about the life of Beethoven comes to mind as being fascinating.....also "Amadeus" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, hehe, i havent seen those two yet, but i have amadeus (i think gary oldman is in this one) on divx so i'll definitely watch it one of this days beethoven must be great because of the music it self if nothing else:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gary oldman played beethoven........=0) can't remember the dude in amadeus, but he was good as well.....crazy laugh. movies about genius are almost always fascinating! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was tom hulce i just checked hehe, i might have beethoven then aswell, im certain i saw oldman with that funny wig behind piano |
||||||||
|

about fascinating-i dont like to watch repetitive films but somehow i always expect to see something new in this kind of films :) no particular luck tho |

I like to watch movies by the late Genius Stanley Kubrick. To some, his movies were dull and inert, but to others they were the cream of the crop |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ehm, i think you wont find many ppl on this mb that find kubrick dull :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what i like about the 'genius man/or woman' movies is that generally their REAL lives were as fascinating as their particular talent. thats why i like them. i like kubrick and his movies.....not all were genius IMO, but several were, and he was a phenominal director! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this about genius ppl movies is all true, but i dislike a lot that in most cases films are based on genius ppl that had some sort of mental illnes or some other disfunction i could be wrong again tho :) |
||||||||

i once had to sit through the movie deep impact. i thought it was so terrible, and after it was over my friend looked at me like "life will never be the same again" and i never heard the end of how incredible that movie was. |

at least vanessa redgreva was in that one :) |

I gather you had "a beautiful mind" in mind tolstoyed? Imo, this one did not deserve to snatch the two most important oscars away from lotr >:( |

was she hot?!!! i really don't remember much of it, wasn't paying attention. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why even mention the ward 'oscar'? popular award shows are almost meaningless imo. |
||||||||
|
|

hot for an old lady :) never saw beautiful mind, i dislike crowe so much i didnt even bother to see it, even if jennifer connelly was in it :) |
||||||||
|
|

i never saw lotr neither :) |

Aw man that was an awful movie. An entire film of Russell Crowe limping around contorting his face... can you picture him staring at himself in the mirror practicing his tics and twitches? Just once I'd like to see a realistic movie about mentally ill and/or retarded people, with all the scab eating, chainsmoking and masturbation that entails. Not from hollywood. Nuh uh. |

i am of the opinion that genius sometimes have problems (mental and otherwise) relating to normal people. i mean it makes sense, can you imagine having that amazing intellect or talent for painting or music (it's hard for me)......i mean how can you ever escape that......it's impossible. it has to screw with your mind, some people DO probably handle it better than others however! |
||||||||

|
|
i thought 'whats eating gilbert grape' was a good movie about a mentally handicapped person (leo dicaprio was amazing) check it out. |

LeCoeur, are you taking a sanity break from the pooper bowel potty? (fuck now you got ME goin with the bad puns) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
THAT WASN'T ACTING |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes there are plenty of genius people with mental problems but there are many more genius people that are just like normal people and we rarely get to see these films about thee people but i guess no one beside me would go and watch film like that :) |
