![]() ![]() I also don't understand the logic of why she suddenly evolved from being stuck in apartment to controlling the whole world. An AI that is programmed to fall in love with you is A) pretty creepy and B) something of a closed box from an intellectual point of view. It could have worked if the apartment or Phoenix were interesting or engaging to look at, but it just all falls spectacularly flat.įinally, I just couldn't give a monkeys about any of the super serious themes that it allegedly explored. She ended up being just a floating disembodied voice. The moviemakers seemed to be more interested in what they could take away rather than give. I couldn't get with Her (Scarlett Johannson) at all. In other words, the exact opposite of this guy. I didn't even vaguely buy him as a professional greeting card writer: such a person would have to be extroverted and charismatic, seeing the good in all people and especially themselves. I think even a Tamagotchi would have shorted out its own batteries rather than spend another minute with him. The Joaquin Phoenix character was a boring, irredeemable sadsack. But from the very first scene to the very last, there was just nothing for me here. So it's fair to say that I was willing to give Her more than a fighting chance. I would rate Jonze's previous movie Adaptation (2002) as one of the greatest, and certainly the cleverest, movies ever made. I feel that the comparable movies Ex Machina and Blade Runner 2049 did a much better job with their themes of what it means to love and to be human. I failed to connect with anything that was going on at all, and found myself pretty much counting down the minutes until it was over. Lucky for us, NYFW is right around the corner, so it doesn't look like we'll have to wait much longer.This movie was a complete misfire for me. The brand has a beating pulse on the corner of fashion and technology, and the balls to take what's conventional and turn it upside down. No doubt OC has put fall prints into a whole new ballgame with this collection, but more than anything we're excited to see what Leon and Lim dream up next. Look closely and you'll see B-roll footage from The Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" video, BMX riders catching some serious air, and yeah that's right, a jacquard made entirely from backstage snaps of Sonic Youth on tour. With access to the archives, the brand was able to translate the sequenced shots, caught by multiple exposures, into wearable textile art. It was his personal treasure trove of footage that lent Opening Ceremony the perfect meshing of street culture and iconic influencers to create a capsule worth talking about. Before his big screen debut, Jonze co-founded Dirt magazine, was the senior photographer for Transworld Skateboarding and cut his teeth shooting street skateboarding and BMX videos, and bands such as Sonic Youth on tour. Looking for something more tangible, more retro, and much more nostalgic, the duo dug deep into Jonze's archives to find rare photos few had ever laid eyes on. Humberto Leon and Carol Lim delved into their famous friend rolodex to create a collaboration with film director Spike Jonze. While the label is no stranger to pushing boundaries and taking fashion to the next level, they've really outdone themselves with their latest debut - a collection which features graphic prints made from 35-millimeter photographic film. ![]() Previews of the Fall 2015 menswear collections may have bid Florence adieu, but there's one in particular we can't seem to stop obsessing over.
