Brain Fart

Time to test your point of view on movies. More on a philosophical bent than anything else. It's a two parter.

Ready?

Part 1:

Pretend you have three children. The first child is excellent at math but is always bordering on flunking out of English. The second child is brilliant at English, but can barely put two and two together. The third is great at Math and English and really expected to go places.

Which one do you hate?


Part 2:

Now, you have three filmmakers.


Brian De Palma


Quentin Tarantino

and


Steven Soderbergh

Which one do you hate?


This does not work if you hate children.

Speaking of children, a hearty congratulations to Darren Aronofsky and Rachel Weisz on their new baby boy. There is a Pi, or The Fountain joke there, but I'm not going to go for it.
