I don’t mind films that are hard to watch ( although I did give up on The Deer Hunter the other night; I felt that, as I’d never seen it I needed to watch it as part of my cinematic education, but I gave up and watched Amandaland instead) but some hard to watch films are boring. I didn’t like There Will be Blood. In my youth I remember being transfixed at the cinema watching Ken Russell films. I’m trying to think of the one that made me feel numb right from the very beginning. The witches or something? Of course, it was The Devils….
I’m using the theory of I really like James Marsden though, so I’m keeping going while assuming he’s not going to do anything rubbish.
