It is funny that I was just watching Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets while drinking Valerian. I was pissed at Luc Besson because I just watched and reviewed The Fifth Element. That review was more of a ramble about my theory surrounding his personal life. Which ties in neatly into the message of the film "Love". But for some reason I completely forgot to talk about its qualities. Which I suppose this review will fix. I will compare the two grand space-operas from Luc Besson. And hopefully we will learn something in the process.

I watch way too many movies to think about what I write too deeply. My ritual is: watch a movie, and as quickly as I can dump my feelings about it into a review. My reviews tend to be a little emotional and rambly because of it.

Damn, that's a terrible system.

You should stop "reviewing" and get some friends whom you enjoy talking about movies with.

I do both. There is like 1 and a half people that read my rambly reviews regularly. That one guy I know of really starts to like my latest few reviews where I come up with wild theories for why the films are the way they are. Like I go and speculate some stuff based on the director's personal life or the writer's other work. Or like I had a whole Michael Bay marathon and then a Jerry Bruckheimer marathon. And now I suppose I'm having a Luc Besson marathon. And Luc had enough bad shit crazy stuff in his life, which is gold for wild conspiracy theories. So I keep pumping those.

I enjoy writing them. There is at least one guy that enjoys reading them. So I guess I gonna keep doing it for a while.

One of the wildest theories was that based on the 1974 film "Gone in 60 seconds" you can see that Kill Bill volume 1 is Tarantino flips off Jerry Bruckheimer.
