Talentatul domn Moby

Moby a văzut Funny People, un film cu Adam Sandler (mi-e greu să cred că își poate bate performanța din Punch Drunk Love) și a scris pe Facebook, unde scrie în mod constant tot soiul de lucruri. El însuși, nu oareșce "negri" de la PR. Nu are sens să-i adjectivez eu "cronica", o puteți judeca singuri. Eu zic doar atât: am găsit exact ce așteptam, o opinie avizată, adică! E și normal, doar vine din partea unui domn care a compus sute de piese, unele direct pentru coloane sonore (vreo 30 de OST-uri cu original score music), altele fiindu-i preluate de pe albumele de studio (aș pomeni câteva, la întâmplare, Heat, Ali, Miami Vice, trilogia Bourne, xXx, Any Given Sunday, Anything Else, 24 Hour Party People, Two Lovers, Righteous Kill etc.).

Funny People review (by Moby)

"last night i went to see 'funny people'. what an odd movie, almost like 2 movies in one. the first 1/2 of the movie is pretty remarkable. very somber, very dark, surprisingly subtle. and then about 1/2 way through it becomes more like a tv show in terms of the quality of the writing, lighting, acting, and plot. very odd. the first 1/2 is pretty amazing, especially, and surprisingly, adam sandler. it's bleak and surprisingly well acted and surprisingly honest. and then someone pushes a button and it becomes fast paced and conventional and bright and, well, normal. were i to see it again i'd probably stop watching after the peanut butter on the floor scene.

i have a feeling that someone might have said, 'you know, a subtle and dark movie just isn't going to find an audience. you need to give people something conventional and familiar to sink their teeth into.'

i kind of hope judd apatow at some point gives his creative instincts free reign and makes a really subtle, dark, unconventional film. and that's my presumptuous friday afternoon film review. plus $6 bottles of water are clearly a harbinger of the apocalypse."
