Saatchi and Saatchi is in there.

Non-reader here: Arya's quoting the Godfather Part 2 in this latest trailer has got my attention, that's for sure. Arya's been a great character *good* character so far. If she's going to become Westeros's Michael Corleone, that'll be interesting.  

The chest-mounted camera thingie, sometimes called 'Snorricam' goes back to at least James Wong Howe's work for Frankenheimer on Seconds (1966), e.g., check out its first 6 mins here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peeu69C8kh8. In general, that film's a huge influence on Aronofsky.

@phodreaw. Yep, that's a great scene alright, but actually the whole sub-plot of the sikh guy courting Binoche's character was very well done.

New song is Blur at their most Suede-y. I'm in!

This is seriously exasperating isn't it? Han shooting first is of a piece with Indy shooting the big swording-wielding guy in Raiders. As Cookie says, it's badass not cold-blooded as such. Harrison Ford's whole career turns on these moments. Lucas man….

Well, Bridesmaids has that nifty deleted scene in the jewellry store (w/ the snotty rich teen brutalizing Wiig - it's on youtube) to build on….

Not to mention his being shot through the hand in The Man from Laramie. Dude could suffer like nobody's business. And he could then guiltily dish out the pain from that perspective…

And Criterion have really out-done themselves with the cover design. Bee-yoo-tiful, sophisticated, just like the film.

If by the twist at the end you mean Doe turning himself in - 'DETECTIVE!' - then, yes indeed, it's superb. I felt like the top of my head was going to lift off (and in dvd commentary Fincher says that it was the moment in the script that made him decide to do the film).

I just checked out a Hannibal Montana track that was decent.

They had both a #1 single and a #1 album  in (their homeland) New Zealand in late 2010.

Yes, well played Ms Cody. Proclaiming oneself 'no Hemmingway' was particularly ingenious (since H. isn't known for his wide vocab. and is exceptionally easy to read).

Right, just as Haneke led off with his so-called 'glaciation' trilogy (beginning with The Seventh Continent), it does feel as though McQueen might be building up to something big and pretentious like an announcement that these have been panels 1 and 2 in his etiolation triptych. Good for him if so.

Or I'm Insane

Back in suburbia kids get high and make out on the train

I'm tending to think that Miranda July's The Future had something to do with it.
