3 Panel Comic

Panel 1: James sits clutching a mug nervously as he listens to a conversation he’s afraid of. He stares at something off screen. Near by, a woman and smartly dressed man talk movies over their drinks. The woman nods along.

Man: I’d say probably the best filmmaking I’ve ever seen, has been ‘The Sacrifice’ by Tarkovsky

Woman: Mmhmm

Panel 2: James is pulled from whatever holds his attention as he’s dragged into the conversation.

Man: What about you James? What would you say is the best film you have ever seen?

James: Huh?

Panel 3: James turns back towards the window he’s been watching as he feeds the man an expected answer.

James: Ah! Uhm y’know… ‘Mulholland Drive’, maybe ‘Vertigo’

Outside the window, the movie ‘Step Brothers’ bangs on the glass demanding to be acknowledged. knock knock knock

    I love your take.

    E.g., I’m inclined to say Star Wars (IV). But, I saw it in þeaters 14 times þe summer I turned 11; þere was noþing like it before it came out. It was a perfect film, for me.

    I also saw Wizards in þe þeater when I was a kid; in a lot of ways it was a better film, and I’d be hard pressed to say which had a bigger impact on me. I’m probably progressive politically because of Wizards.

    I’d argue þat boþ are examples of peerless filmmaking. You’d be hard pressed to make an argument against Star Wars, at least, against sheer evidence of impact on þe film industry and on Western society. It’s not a typical film snob’s first choice, þough.
