"A Clockwork Orange I’ve seen about 35 times. I remember first seeing that and I certainly didn’t get half the movie, but when I was young, I just thought it was just kind of weird and strange and I really appreciated it as I got a little older and saw it more often and more often. Then it became this sort of like a party background movie, something that just became part of my life. I certainly appreciated the language. Not profanity or anything but its own language, and the visual of it, I really appreciated the visual, because the visual is such a storytelling part of it and the language was so bizarre in its own kind of language. I really appreciate the work that goes into that. This is more like a highbrow sort of snobby film pick, but a sick demented sense of humor is kind in that movie as well. Ultimately it’s the visual storytelling and the language that I thought was so tremendous. It’s an absolute acid-trip fantasy weird thing. I never did drugs growing up because I watched Clockwork Orange enough so I didn’t have to do drugs. There’s a lot of shock value to it, but I really appreciated it for that. It was really kind of interesting for me and it all was put together in a very smart way, I believe. It’s not just sensationalism or anything like that because that kind of s— bothers me. But anyway, there’s a lot of things in that movie that I really like and appreciated. it really well in that film."

Stoker is the first English-language film by director, Chan-wook Park. This movie has a completely creepy vibe, but it's intriguing. Matthew Goode was super creepy, but I wasn't mad about it. The soundtrack to the film was also amazing.

A myth for a world that never existed.
A series of books that seems to succeed, despite itself.

The language is strange and stilted, the bottom falls out of the structure but it's so evocative and endearing that it changed the world.

I got hooked pretty early on
I really enjoyed the characters and the premise behind the show. To see a t.v. show that contains so many different mythologies and blends them together seamlessly is very rare these days.
  
I found this difficult to read as the language and tone is quite complex and poetic and I was looking for an easy fun read. The characters seemed real enough but I found the storyline jumped around erratically and left me confused a lot.

Meaty read but great characters
The language makes it quite hard going and it is a little slow paced at times however the mixture of feeling it stirs up for the characters is worth it especially the monster.
