Miscellaneous Movie Musings

I don't know the names of any of the songs for the most part so I can't say which were my favorites.

But I enjoyed several a lot. Several I enjoyed conceptually but thought they didn't work. And several more were duds.

By the end I had shifted the manner in which I was watching from being a single movie to being something like that something I remember for one of Michael Jackson's albums ("Dangerous"?) where all the videos were shown together with mild connections between thing he did where he strung the videos for all of the songs on the album into a single somewhat linked presentation (I don't know if that was an official thing or if one of the music channels did it on their own).

At the time I thought it might have worked better if Taymor had just given up any semblance of a single story arc (maybe each song being a vignette from the era) but having seen "Love" in Vegas since then I think I may no longer think that.
