Hello there all you silly people who have stumbled upon this page.
Yes this is indeed the blog of one Amir Amirsolimani, The Iranian that lives in the heart of Scotland and spends his time making crazy assed statements.
According to my computer it is currently 4.53 am. I probably should be asleep at the moment but I have stuff to do early in the morning, maybe I should have fallen asleep earlier to get up earlier. Instead I plan to stay up through the morn' until my half 11 errand to retrieve my camera charger from Sean who had it at Charlie's shindig and forgot he had it. I now get to go to Meadowbank with the Lothian Bus sunday schedule - fantasmic.
Also on what still feels like today but actually isn't anymore (to clear it up - Saturday) I saw Wall E for the second time for Maeve's birthday shindig and it is STILL brilliant. It cement's Pixar's genius, a genius the academy won't recognise. A genius they won't recognise because the latest "powerful" dramatic film released in Autumn get's the review (No country for bad men was pretty cool at times but not deserving of the heaps of praise it got). The fact is Wall E was so good it entertained the hell out of a bunch of teenager's who traditionally tend to have the attention span of a hyperactive child watching the latest crudely animated anime (hey ho Naruto) despite the fact it was devoid of speech and human contact for the first half of the movie. The second half didn't even try and compensate It just had some as it helped propel the movie's thematic concern, it's main focus was a AMAZING robot rebellion comprising of a bunch of faulty robots. There are odd moment's in Wall E where I wasn't enthralled, usually lasting 1 and a half seconds but they are extremely sporadic (like 3 times out the entire film). This means that despite all it's inventive genius Wall E falls inches short of Ratatouille and Finding Nemo. Ratatouille I maintain is one of the most brilliant films ever to grace cinema (Finding Nemo not so much but it has Willem Dafoe!) I don't recommend you see Wall E, I DEMAND it. Go now, you'll regret missing it, it's a film of innate cinematic beauty full of an artistic minimalism that will satisfy die hard cinematic artisans with ease while simultaneously being able to leave the typical popcorn crowd.
Alot to swallow? tough it's all true, even Charlie Kassyk who maintained it would be awful crap came out happy and he HATES Pixar (i don't understand how). So see it now and after that WATCH THE DARK KNIGHT!!!!!!!!!
Adios for now, I'll return soon with more rants (oh and thanks to Ruaridh who gave me the idea to start my own crazy blog)
