Why Must Every Movie Review by Charles Mudede Begin with a Question?

question%20mark.jpg

Culled from the film section of The Stranger:

Belle Toujours:

What is this movie really about? What is its core subject, its ultimate matter?

A Scanner Darkly:

What is the core truth of this film based on a Phillip K. Dick short story of the same name?

Bratz:

What is it that makes Bratz, as a cultural phenomenon, great?

Rocket Science:

Where have you seen this film before?

Moliere:

This movie is designed for those who are educated, urban, and middle class. People in the country won’t watch it; the urban poor will stay the hell away from it. Why?

Because Audrey, if Mudede didn't pose these questions to us, we would simply never be forced to think thoughtful thoughty thoughts about existentialism, poverty, sexuality and horse fucking.

Oh how I long for the day.

It's a delightful consistency, isn't it? Sort of a didactic medley!

Hey MVB I just Simpsonized you and here's what you look like:

MVB = Martin Prince from the Simpsons

I just reread my comment and I'll give you that one, Silvie. But I totally meant it to sound like that. So, uh, burn on you.

Must be August. Which, Dog Days aside, is also the name of an upcoming Josh Hartnett movie. Q is not what Charles will say, but what will he ask?

Thank you, guest. Tonight I'm going to dream a little dream about my own misty distance.

Guest, can you throw me a life jacket?
