#13: Yes, according to multiple sources, you should probably hit it on your next road trip south.
#24: According to Congress this now includes new pizza recipes, so I could be saved.
#32: On Etsy all the stuff needs to be handmade, where as CafePress and sites like that you can just add your designs to already pre-made products, like cards, posters, mugs, shirts, etc… After some research I decided to use Zazzle.com.

Comment on The Tree of Life: Movie? Maybe. Art? Maybe. Pretentious? Absolutely. by Manofsorrows

The question the movie asks is one of the most fundamental puzzles of human existence. Why is man capable of such great altruism and selfless love, but yet so cruel and vindictive, too. This is the “problem of man.” What is the solution? The film has two questions. The “problem of man” question and the “problem of evil/suffering” question. Obviously, Malick implies that theism is the solution to these questions. The film is both a metaphysical musing and a statement. It doesn’t try to make itself important. The questions it asks ARE that important. It is honest with its subject, that’s all.

The film was far from being self-indulgent or pretentious. Many dismiss this film, calling it a “niche” film, or devoid of plot or point or character development, etc… But the problem really is in the viewer, not the film. Beauty is not subjective, but an objective reality. The reason some might call it “niche” is because few have the intellectual, moral, and even volitional capacities to appreciate and understand (or even want to understand) the film. The viewers in American society are flat and shallow, lacking any true depth. They are consumed by their own consumerism, and their god is their belly. The film is about a journey/question that ALL people with true depth either face or take. It is too ponderous for Americans because their ponderings are as thin as a Hanes T-shirt. Get over yourself.

I am very surprised to see such hateful critics about this movie… But at the same time, to me, it confirms the purely artistic character of this movie, it inspires you or at the contrary, it upsets you… At he base of every kind of art it is clear that tastes and colors are not discussable.. I personally loved it and believe that it is the best cinematography I have ever seen. How come none of the critics even mention the name of Emmanuel Lubezki who did a fantastic job? Every single image you see is a master piece.. Why movies always have to have a storyline that you can understand? When you say that any actor could have done the job, I think that you are right, but what is the point of mentioning it? Does it matter? I do not go to the movie theater to see a performance, no, I go there to see a movie.. this can be focused on he story (Sagas), on the acting performance (e.g., N. Portman in the Black Swan), on the final meaning (political movies), or on the image. If you just care about the acting performance, why don’t you just go to the regular theater then? Also I don’t think that this movie is “pretentious”, not at all, this is a like a present that the director, the DP and more generally, the production company, made to us. No, it is not pretentious, it is pretty..

[...] It captures a nice taste of the dark grit that everyone is shilling for after the success of The Dark Knight, but doesn’t let go of the tongue-in-cheek geek humor from the earlier parts of the Marvel [...]
