Yeah, it's one of the great anti-private eye movies. It's somehow more humid than Night of The Iguana and plays like Hammett mixed with Le Carre, filtered through the air conditioner of a Motel 8.

Fair enough, but the problem with a Bay film is that every second is a bludgeoning, so all those seconds count. Zero Dark Thirty is one of the shortest long movies I've ever seen. Lincoln similarly never felt long at all while watching it. Both those movies are masterfully economical in their storytelling.

I did not know that but so awesome that it's your favorite movie.

Oh for sure. It left me in a state of enraptured bewilderment, which is rare for movies these days. It ended, I had no idea what I had just watched, but knew that I pretty much enjoyed every frame of it. It's gorgeously shot and the score is basically Carruth recreating the one from Soderbergh's Solaris, which might…

Did he have Galaga?

"We'll have to sail a raft to Fiji like Thor Heyerdahl!"

I blame the Apatow.

Want to see this just on the basis of it being in the same family as Upstream Color. That movie is phenomenal and way better than everything else that's come out so far this year.

The Rock gets a lot of love from people who saw it when they were 12.

Glad to see this getting a good review here, though I heard very mixed things about it from screenings a few months back. I generally like when films employ a mix of styles to tell different parts of the story so this sounds right up my alley.

This site could do an Inventory about the only good performance in an otherwise shitty movie solely using Dwayne Johnson performances.

The dad on Silver Spoons freaked me out. He looked like if David Brenner and David Hartman merged and formed a serial killer.

Is that running time right? Bay's small movie is 130 fucking minutes long?!?! Not that I was going to see this anyway, but still…

"Hi, you've reached Meshach Taylor. I'm too fabulous to come to the phone right now so please just leave a message…beep"

I never saw The Book of Eli because the trailer indicated it had that weird post-processed photography thing, where every shot seems to have the same exact look. Gladiator has this same issue, as if one massive filter was placed over every frame. Makes my head hurt.

Would you ask Tom Petty to deliver your mail?

Trees Lounge is really underrated.

Agreed. All the stuff in the former Tower Video where he chats up mannequins is really unnerving. Some of the best work Will Smith has ever done.

I take back the thing I said about girls with glasses.

Maybe it's my thing for girls with glasses, but the idea of an IRS brothel sounds kinda hot to me.
