      Yes indeedA very well thought out comment.
      I mean firstly you have to take into account when the movie was made & what the world was like back then.times really have changed.
      I won't here Avatar being put down thoughI mean sure the script, plot and acting werewell, I believe the word "meh" covers them perfectly 😛
      ..but just look at it, it's so pretty. The skills of the true artists that really made that movie is truly amazing.
      The media response to Lady GaGa and therefore the response of the masses who will be shocked by what ever they are told to be shocked by always makes me laugh. It's as if the 70's,80's & 90's didn't even happen apparently.
      .oooh look at her she's wearing funny clothes omg!
      Actually to some extent I admire her at least she's putting the effort in, and frankly if you are going to be in the public eye you should be putting a show on for us all the time!
      It's also conviniently veryvery good marketing 🙂

        Positively brilliant observation. "Tyrannical conformity" runs rampant on these boards and, in the larger picture, threatens our very civilization.

          "Just because a movie is on the weird side, is not linear in it's storytelling, is disjointed, etc. doesn't make it art."Just because it's a movie period doesn't make it art .Movies are purely made to entertain no matter how weird or unweird they are .

            every movie created is art, because it was created by someone. nt necessarrely good art, but art.

              I agree, this film is too overrated.

                it's true that just because something is weird doesn't make it art. but this is art.

                  I agree. While I liked Roeg's previous film such as Don't Look Now, Walkabout and Performance even more, this one and especially Bad TIming sucked balls, and sucked very deep.

                    Weirdness in and of itself does not art make, but this film had enough amazing art to keep me riveted. 9/10 stars from me.

                      It's about an alien on Earth being corrupted by humans so it should be weird.
