We Are Still Here, I Am Still Bored.



I remember watching an interview with Nicholas Roeg where he talked about studio executives giving him crap about the titles of his film, their point was that his titles, such as "Don't Look Now" and "Bad Timing", gave critics way too easy an "in" for mocking the work. I was thinking about that while I was watching "We Are Still Here", specifically thinking, "Well I know the audience didn't say that." And Rotten Tomatoes somewhat backs me up and actually gives a little kindling to a pet theory of mine regarding our current state of interconnected mutual media massages and the "everyone likes everyone so nothing can be bad" groupthink that has replaced real community interactions among artists.
