Stalker.

There were plenty of cool visuals, and I liked the switch from black and white to color but...it got really tedious after a while. There may have been plenty of stuff that I did not get, and/or I may be part of the uneducated masses with horrible taste or something, but I don't feel like this movie needed to be as drawn out as it was. I'm sure it would benefit from repeat viewing or two, except my motivation to watch it again is very low because it was an extremely drawn out, tedious film. I don't know. I feel like its a movie that I want to like, and it was visually very pleasing but it felt like it was a week long.

Bah. I felt like watching pretentious crap. I mean 200 scenes in a 163 minutes movie? Not my thing!

Boring first half, good second. They nailed the Tim Burton atmosphere and the animation was nice but I've seen better. If I'm not mistaken the same studio is making "9" which I'm looking forward to.

2046 - Lots of passion in here, but the characters can never quite get it right. Great soundtrack and costumes (dresses) too.

I'm watching the classic "Deep Throat" with Linda Lovelace right now. Funny shit.

Again. Even more :wub:

this time around. I'm totally sold on it.

Also watched He's not really that into you for shits and giggles. It would be dreadful to watch alone but in good company it works for a laugh. Ultra lame movie, despite all the eyecandy. And, Jennifer Connelly out-performes the lot as well, she is clearly of higher rank.

I think the internet ruined Irreversible for me.

Did you know the ending? I knew only the general jist of the film so basically it was just a brutal film with the rape and the fire extinguisher and that gut-wrenching ending.

Just got home from Bruno. It's not as funny as Borat and its message wasn't as blantant and poignant as Borat's yet it was decent. A lot of butt sex jokes and penis visuals. If you're into that kinda thing this is your film.

The International - Not so good. Slow action/thriller with not much action, and not enough character development or super great plot to make up for the slowness.
