I support this idea without reservation. They are all stunning and enjoyable to watch.

Yeah, mostly agreed. The only salient point of the piece is that a certain strain of documentaries can ocassionally be didactic, which is what the makers of Leviathan are fighting against. That's different from propaganda, which as you point out, can be successful as a filmmaking approach in talented hands.

What a waste-just think of how many pseudointellectual porn films Franco could make with that kind of cash.

I thought it was the trombone that was sad.

The shift towards empathy at the end makes this sound like Fritz Lang's M.

Sorry for my smart-ass response to you. I have friends who like both and I don't understand it, since neither has ever appealed to me in any context. They do seem to cultivate a certain lack of sophistication. I agree with @avclub-236e42b5af241c85d97910f5c1aa6107:disqus that Carolla seems to encourage a…

It looks like the harshest ASPCA ad ever.

The whole eclipse effect at the end of Dolores Claiborne works really well—it sort of saturates everything in just the right way to heighten the tension.

"Try acting Arnold, it's much easier."

One huge problem: too much sun and glare. It was almost impossible to drive successfully during the day in that game, no matter how far I turned down the brightness on my TV.

I got Soft Cell Anemia.

Was this where Rhonda stuck a speaker between her breasts instead of a microphone?
