Mentioning Breaking the Waves and calling him a hack
Quote:
But really, the star of the film is von Trier's own messy private demons, which he's decided to *grapple with publicly instead of in a shrink's office. It's a shame, because he's *capable of making great films, like 1996's Breaking the Waves. But now it's starting to feel like he's become a sad *cinematic oxymoron: a talented hack. D
nicole scherzinger at PCD's peak was the most gorgeous pop girl ever. too bad she was a bulimic, low self-esteem mess at that time
she's still gorgeous to me. in my ideal world she would be killing it along with bey and rih. her personality is her biggest problem imo. she seems like a snobby try-hard
No, I was just pointing out your subconscious racism against 'plain white girls.' Gays always want to look like their taste is ~impeccable, & you blindly associate dark skin with 'exotic & exquisite', so you automatically place their looks above Katy. (even though Bey's features are 10x more boring & uninteresting than Katy's)
I don't blindly associate dark skin with exotic and exquisite. Don't make assumptions. I think Britney in her prime was at least as pretty as Beyonce or Rihanna. And she is a "plain white pop girl" if there ever was one. It's what her image was built on. And lol at racism. Okay.
The only interesting features on Katy's face are her eyes.

It’s impossible to dismiss von Trier as merely a hype-monger. He’s too damnably good a filmmaker for that. Watching Nymphomaniac is to be reminded of his superb skills in creating vivid worlds and characters on screen.

The best part of Lars von Trier's fascinating, engaging and often didactic Nymphomaniac is that, despite the sometimes-grim tone and bleak color palate, it's an extremely funny film, playful, even.

So far, Nymphomaniac looks like a major work from a major director: a compendium of all von Trier’s career-long preoccupations with gender roles, authoritarianism, religion, obsessive behavior, and lust.

Lars isn't a filmmaker who has "good" or "bad" movies. He's arguably the most postmodern director working today, so trying to argue one way or the other about the quality of his movies is so vastly irrelevant.
Hate him if you want, love him if you want, but there's no right answer.
No I'm laughing b/c the first things that came to my mind about 35 minutes into the movie (once I knew where it was going) were Breaking the Waves and hack.
