Well your songwriting is excellent, so you've definitely got a good thing going there! The only real advice I could give you is to try to get some more organic drum sounds, either through finding a different machine or different samples, or by using a real percussion kit. That's my preference when it comes to your type of work, though. Loving the organs in particular.

Saw Perfect Blue on your recommendation (some time back) in reaction to my review of Black Swan. Great suggestion. Prefer it to Aronofsky's film.

Hi, nice to meet you and thank you for your interest :)
I wouldn’t really say I have a vendetta against any of those directors - even if I’m not a fan of their work, I always approach their latest films hoping to find new insights into their cinema. You’d be right though in guessing that a part of my problem with those particular directors lies in how they approach pastiche however in each case there’s also other things about them that bother me.

In the case of Tarantino’s filmography, I’d rather watch the films he’s referencing than the films themselves, which don’t seem to offer any particular insights through their organization or execution of homages other than perhaps a ritualistic fetishization of cinema. The Coen Brothers’ reliance on pastiche is also irksome for me to watch although I’m equally troubled by a condescension I perceive in their direction, mostly evident through their handling of caricatures. I feel as if both Tarantino and the Coens seem to express a kind of reductionist apathy to both film history and world history which has remained largely consistent throughout their careers. Lastly, I’ve only actually seen a few Iñárritu films - his last two, Revenant and Birdman, and his earlier film, 21 Grams. Each of them seem like white elephant art to me though, often very self-conscious about their own importance and constantly fixated on their characters’ misery. It’s not simply his reliance on other filmmakers, Tarkovsky, Ophuls, etc., but his own misguided conflation with great art and suffering that I find disagreeable in his films. I could go into further detail about these directors but I think this largely summarizes my issues with them - hope I don’t come off as elitist, lol, there’s plenty of contemporaneous filmmakers whom I find favorable to those four but to each taste their own.

I just feel like rating music would be too involving, it’s not as easily systematically categorizable as films for me. Also I just don’t have the time to go through my collection and rate it all accordingly since I’d probably start to nitpick over it (I already did this when I started rating films which was exhausting enough), I’d rather just spend that time listening to more music, lol.

i hope you kill yourself :)

Not at all :)
I saw the film back when it first premiered and wrote up a similar review around that time. I just noticed though that I never posted anything about it here so I figured I'd revise my original review and post it now.

that's very very very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

idk, a lot of their films dont have a real plot and/or are mundane and i dont really care for them. animation is top notch most of the time tho
