Film (pronounced fill-um) is as much an artform as it is a business. It was originally developed as a means to display naked people "getting it on" and distributing it to the masses. Films are more commonly known as Brainwashing Sessions (pronounced Ber-rainwashing Sessions). This name came about from the Baze'd faces people get after watching films.
Movies have baffled psychologists as it was found in a study conducted by the government that the majority of movie goers remain expressionless when watching the loss of life, limb, heartbreak, hatred and racism. Moreover it was found that people were often willing to pay money to see such movies, as well as buy food to enjoy themselves while watching it. To this day psychologists still do not fully understand why human beings enjoy watching such movies. Perhaps it is the thought of paying a lot of money to the movies, sitting with stupid noisy people crunching their popcorn, while getting your eyes and ear bombarded by huge screen and noise. Yes, we love movies.. (See more...)
The Bourne Pottery Class is the fourth film in the popular Jason Bourne series, starring Matt Damon. The film tells the epic tale of Jason Bourne, the ex-CIA assassin, as he enrolls in a pottery class and learns to make ceramic pots and pans. The film was hailed by critics as "one of the most thrilling depictions of ceramic plate-making since the James Bond movie from the '80s, 'The Spy who Helped Glaze my Clay Vase.'"
The film picks up directly where the last installment, the Bourne Ultimatum, left off--with Jason Bourne swimming in a New York river after falling approximately eight miles from a nearby skyscraper. Bourne swims to the shore and sees a building marked "Mrs. Wheeler's Pottery School." He walks inside, as extremely loud, guitar-driven industrial music plays in the background. The camera shakes dramatically as the first of many exhilarating sequences begins. Bourne tries to enroll in the class, but Mrs. Wheeler (Winona Ryder) wants to charge him $20 an hour. He says this is outrageous. As they argue, the camera shakes violently to the point that it is no longer possible to tell what is going on onscreen because it is an incomprehensible blur.

Timothy William "Tim" Burton (born August 25, 1958) is an American film director and producer most known for creating several dark and quirky themed films such as Edward Scissorhands and The Nightmare Before Festivus. He mostly makes films with a personal circle of friends (Danny Elfman, Johnny Depp, and Helena Bonham Carter), only casting other actors outside this circle when extremely necessary, and only in minor, unimportant roles.
Though he is known for directing more unusual types of films, he has also directed mainstream films such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alice In Wonderland, and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Recently some detractors have criticized Burton for "pandering to the bourgeoisie," due to the ever increasing normality of his films. However much his works may seem to be drifting into the mundane, he is still by far the all-time strangest director to most average movie-goers; although relatively bland compared to Lars von Trier.
