how do you feel it is forced? i mean, that was just my interpretation and there are others that feel the scene contrasts rather than compares the ox and the kurtz sequences.

also, what is your definition of pretentious? it seems like it's not the common one. still, if you don't like animals being killed on screen then fair enough.

the ritual killing of the ox, the killing of kurtz, and vietnam are all being compared through the editing and dialogue. coppola is saying that vietnam wasn't an act of self defense (we lost vietnam and communism eventually stopped spreading anyway) or for any moral high ground. he reflected the belief at the time that the war was just this dark ecstatic period we build up to. i can understand his sentiment after the string of wars america was in leading up to vietnam.

eh, i think the ox and vietnam comparisons have proven to be fairly accurate over the years.

i finished both of them and i'd easily recommend transistor first.

yes, because video games exist in their own bubble that is completely separate from everything else in the world.

i bought flower and soundshapes on my PS3 and i was able to just re-download them once i got my PS4. however, this isn't the case with every PSN game. here is a list of the few games that it works for.

i won't say any more, but finish the game if you liked what you played.

i just shed a single tear.

that's why i'm likely getting it. it's a game i'll likely play more of and i like the convenience of having more things in 1 box.

ben foster hasn't been in a lot of movies that were bound to get him acclaim, but his roles have been pretty disparate and i think he's done a solid job in a lot of them.

i don't know that i'd call him an "awesome" actor quite yet, but i thought robert pattinson was very good in cosmopolis. he just gets a lot of hate because he was in twilight where he had awful dialogue to read and a ridiculous character to play. yeah, he probably got paid for it well enough, but a lot of actors have to do sh*t roles to gain more control of their later career. i won't hold it against him if he goes on to great things.

none. i'd rely on my cunning and make him answer my riddles three.
