Sean's Four Your Consideration - Treasure Hunt
Sean Says: "The ice caps are melting."
- Put any five reviews you like in your F.Y.C. list.
- Do not use reviews from the previous round - you must change them every round.
- Post here to declare that you've done it. Sooner is better than later.
- Provide a spoiler warning in your post when appropriate.
- You must read the F.Y.C.s of all participants.
- The next round starts on Monday or Thursday at 6:00 a.m. FWFR time, whichever comes next.
- The initiator of the next round will name the thread "FYCTH - #***" or "Sean's FYCTH - #***", "***" is one integer greater than the number of the current round. The initiator of the next round will copy this post verbatim and it will appear as the opening post of the next round, the only things that may be changed are fonts/colours and smileys (which may be removed altogether if desired) and the inviso comment after "Sean Says:".

We're only making plans for Nigel.
We only want what's best for him.
We're only making plans for Nigel.
Nigel just needs this helping hand.
And if young Nigel says he's happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his work.
Nigel is not outspoken
But he likes to speak
And loves to be spoken to
Nigel is happy in his work
About two weeks ago, I unfortunately ran across the oeuvre of Nigel Tomm. Unfortunate in that I didn't run across it with a bulldozer.
Nigel is an idiot savant, or at least one of those, who produces "books" that utterly unreadable (cf. The Blah Book, vol 1-27, which consists mostly of the word "blah") and "films" that are utterly unwatchable. Oh, he also produces seemingly daily YouTube videos of him silently looking into a camera, making faces, and waving frantically. Not unlike a two-year-old who has had too much sugar.
In filmdom, Tomm's trademark is to procure a familiar title, often of a seemingly unfilmable work such as "Waiting For Godot" or "Catcher In The Rye" or the Qu'ran, then create (no, "generate", create is too strong a word) a film that consists of a strong primary colour for about 30-60 minutes. No dialogue. No variation. Just 30 minutes of bright green for Godot, 30 minutes of white for Hamlet, and, in an offense to Islam, yellow for the Qu'ran.
All 5 of my reviews this week are of Tomm's films. My Hamlet review, in particular, quotes more of the play than does Tomm's interpretation.

The book's author, John Buchan, later became a Governor-General of Canada. And have you seen the recent play? It's a parody of all things Hitchcock with 3 actors and one actress doing all 80 or so roles in the movie. Saw it on Broadway last year and it was hilarious. |
