Another masturbatory blogging article

The Guardian indulges in another of those perennially lazy "blogging is changing the political landscape" type articles, where it does a brief profile of one or two of the big names, takes a couple of soundbites and then smugly pats itself on the back for being ahead of the curve.

masturbatory

SYLLABICATION: mas·tur·ba·to·ry
PRONUNCIATION: mstr-b-tôr, -tr
ADJECTIVE: 1. Of or relating to masturbation. 2. Excessively self-indulgent or self-involved: “[The play's] star . . . paces around his cell, smoking and snarling in a masturbatory rant” (Sam Whiting, San Francisco Chronicle September 3, 1995).

http://www.filmfreakcentral.net/screenreviews/maskedandanony...
Overcrowded and tied by neither narrative nor vision, Masked and Anonymous is masturbatory piffle of the first order--activist without cause and hoping to hit a few hot buttons by swinging wildly at the fences. Clear by now that the script by "Sergei Petrov" and "Rene Fontaine" is actually by Dylan and director Charles, the main defense of the film is that it reads a little like a Dylan song, forgetting that Dylan's songs are, for the most part, poetry of a time and a place rather than rhythmless fictions too in love with their own obscurity. Each Dylan tune, whether performed on film or floating around on the soundtrack, gives lie to the idea that Masked and Anonymous is the cinematic translation of a Dylan song: the man's music is driven by ideas and passion, while the film seems driven mainly by pretension and self-consciousness. Arguably worth it for the handful of Dylan numbers, Masked and Anonymous is so irritating and protracted that it works just like what it most likely is: a vainglorious altar attended by devotees of a musical genius overextending himself, curious not so much for its ambition as its hubris.-Walter Chaw

Masturbatory meditations, wilted dramas and a musical on the safe side
BY KYLE COUNTS

De-Lovely
**
Directed by Irwin Winkler
Written by Jay Cocks
Starring Kevin Kline, Ashley Judd
“I won’t do it justice, but I’ll do it,” says Cole Porter (Kevin Kline) to his wife Linda (Ashley Judd) as he prepares to launch into song in De-Lovely. Director Irwin Winkler (The Net, Life as a House) might have said the same thing to his producers as he prepared this well-intentioned but stodgy biography of Porter, one of America’s most gifted and prolific songwriters (“I Get a Kick Out of You”, “Night and Day”, “Anything Goes,” etc.). He and screenwriter Jay Cocks (a former film critic who wrote the Oscar-nominated The Age of Innocence and Gangs of New York) may think they’ve created an unconventional musical (or is it a love story? Or both? You decide!), but De-Lovely is, a little male-on-male kissing aside, about as safe and conventional as they come.
...
Hawke (who smiles more here than in his entire previous career — too bad he needs serious dental work) and Delpy do quite well in their roles (which involve a lot of long takes with no cuts — very impressive). It’s interesting – to a point – to see how they feel about this, that or the other thing, and I enjoyed the fact that the film is smarter than your average two-character love story. But a few factoids aside, how much have we really learned about the older, wiser Jesse and Celine by the movie’s end? Since they’re both spoken for and there’s no possibility of a romantic reunion, Before Sunset becomes just another highbrow, masturbatory meditation (only 80 minutes long), designed to make us all feel more intelligent. As one character says, how you feel — in this case, about Before Sunset – depends on “whether you’re a romantic or a cynic.” Me, I’m the cynical type. I’ll take Linklater’s School of Rock any day.
