Oh I'd say there's definitely someone here who's obsessed with Damien. I think that kind of obsession also qualifies you for Damienism.

Being a true Damienite, I haven't seen it either. Why should we waste our time on a German movie when we can watch Dreamgirls for the 32nd time?Damien wrote:WTF????
I haven't even seen The Lives Of Others!
Yeah, I seem to recall Damien saying some negative comments about Lives of Others, as well; I assumed he'd seen it and not liked it.Okri wrote:I'm sure Marco's comment on Lives of Others stems from when Damien said something negative about it winning over Pan's Labyrinth at the oscars (a film Damien quite liked).
ITALIANO wrote:Well, ok, but Eric put it on the same level of The Lives of Others (another movie Damien taught this board to hate), so I'm sure it HAS to be very good.
I must have missed that one. The Lives of Others is a fascinating film, even more so when you know that Ulrich Muhe who played the ultimately sympathetic surveillance monitor was himself spied upon in the waning years of the East German regime with his own wife the government's chief informant.Penelope wrote:ITALIANO wrote:Akash wrote:

Oh, I think Damien was unsuccessful in getting the board to hate The Lives of Others; with one or two exceptions, I think that film is pretty well-respected in these parts (deservedly so, too).
