Movie Block?

        I have something called movie block. It feels like writers block, but instead of being unable to write, I can't watch movies. My attention span has always been awful; I prefer going to a movie theater to watch films because it forces me to sit down and watch, opposed to being at home and becoming antsy. I started HONEY BOY the other day and still haven't gone back to finish it. 
       Here's hoping that writing about this weird problem will help to fix it. I just haven't been able to sit down and watch a whole movie. It feels impossible. 
Now that I'm talking about it, I might hit the Criterion Channel. Maybe I can finish the rest of VAGABOND, directed by Agnes Varda. 

Let's see how this goes.

It's all I've been able to really think about since I saw it.  From the very beginning,  Snowpiercer is quick to establish the dire living situation that the tail end members of the train are in. They eat disgusting blocks of unknown substance. Their quarters are cold, dark and crammed with people. Even the children, who are called "train babies" because their existence has solely been on this train, live in terrible conditions. Yet, despite this horrific reality that they are in, the people remain hopeful.  That's the beauty of hope in post-apocalyptic films like this. They can be on one end of the hope spectrum or the other:  On one side, the films protagonists may be hopeless but stay strong and b...
