Moment of Bitterness
October 25, 2004There are several films I’ve seen lately but have no desire to write about them. Lately it feels like watching movies is simply an exercise in consumption, and writing about them then becomes merely a record of my consumption. Whether I loved the film or hated it, write eloquently or haphazardly, it’s all the same, all consumption. Might as well start a food blog.
Oh Cynthia — I completely understand what you are going through.
I really burned myself out this year at the NYFF. Given that I had a press pass, I went to see way too many movies. Plus, since nothing blew me away, it started to feel like a chore.
I’ve decided to catch up on older films that I have missed, thereby (hopefully) re-igniting my flame of desire.
so you are addressing film burnout by watching more films????
Hair of the dog sort of thing, I guess. . .
