December 13, 2008 12:53 pm This will be the first major event series I will be dropping before it concludes.  I just can't stomach another incomprehensible Morrision series.

December 12, 2008 11:58 pm Art was good, but the story sucked (except the Green LAntern parts).  I just can't seem to follow a Morrison story line.

Personally 12 Monkeys is my favorite movie but is could definitely be argues that Brazil is one of the greatest movies ever made.  I am somewhat of a traditionalist and agree with the masses that Citizen Kane is probably the best movie ever made.

Rashoman and Dr. Strangelove are fantastic but you are still way off base with Mulholand Dr.  I'm more of a Terry Gilliam's Brazil type of guy myself.

When speaking of Daivd Lynch I should have been more specific and referred to his movies Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive which I found nearly incomprehensible.  Blue Velvet is one of the best movies I have ever seen.  Honestly Final Crisis has probably been the easiest thing to understand that I have read by Morrison but I still don't feel that it has a nice narrative flow that many other writers have.  I often feel like I have been dumped into the middle of a conversation and I have to piece together the parts of the conversation I have missed.  I don't mind a dense comic story, for example I love me some Alan Moore, but that story has to be presented in a way that flows.  The nature of the medium of comics is that they are relatively static due to the restrictions of panels and still images.  Therefore the story has to link these images together.  If the story isn’t linking the images together effectively than essentially all you have is a series of pretty pictures.  I know this is a vast simplification and that you don’t’ necessarily need text or dialog to tell a story but I always get a feeling that Morrison’s plot, narrative layout and pacing are choppy.

 

By the way MisterBlank, Awesome avatar!!!
