There are quite a few effusive reviews out there so I think we can say it's safer to say that that a lot of people like didactic war movies.

The trailer I saw suggested that this film wasn't even in the zip code of Goodbye Lenin! The comedy relied on the old standbys of bad translations and wacky misunderstandings and the sentiment appeared to be a long lost daughter subplot. Having said that I haven't seen the film and trailers can be misleading but even…

I think Goode was less badly cast and more badly directed. I imagine Snyder took Rorschach's paranoid homophobia, assumed that Oz was a homosexual stereotype and directed Goode accordingly.

Armond White may be on the set and applauding. Do not be alarmed; it only makes him worse.

Sofia Coppola.

Also crying and profundity. If you are alarmed it will change the life of a total stranger. Filming involving copious tears ahead.

Filming involving elabourate mechanisms, Dominique Pinon and warm feelings. Adjust your tie to fit the colour scheme and appear comically alarmed.

I want your family and friends.

I vote…
that the last podcast of twilight is done by "the boys".

Am I the only one who thinks it looks like a shot-for-shot remake? Because the only difference I saw in any of the images is that the "Help Me" scene is in a tunnel rather than under a bridge - meaning that the wino with the cats won't see the attack. Other than that the man falling out from the hospital, Elle running…

"a platoon of hard-nosed, genocidal shock troops"

I'm pretty sure the book was deadly serious about celebrating fascism and the military state. There's not even a hint of a wink when Johnny registers his opinion of capital punishment ("All I knew is that he'd never kill again") or when it argues that soldiers are the only ones that earn the right to vote. It's also…

For the record I agree with this - particularly as O'Neal seemed less interested in taking him down a peg and more interested in taking a jokey approach to the less stellar parts of his career. It's random roles; they look at everything and while it might not have come off too well here it seems like a legitimate…

Yep, streetlights on streets can only help but draw attention to the fakery of it all.

Ah, on further consideration I take back everything I said.

at least *hoping*

I'm not sure this is true. Unlike fashion items, films are rarely designed specifically for a single festival showing so the creators are at least that a reasonable audience will pay money to see them: and to see any kind of return the makers will need a lot more money than an avant garde fashion designer. While they…

Oh, and Kaboom. It just sounds plain fun.

Tuesday, After Christmas will be a definite must see for me (assuming it gets to my part of the world). I'm young and haven't seen enough "an affair ruins everything" movies to be put off by the subject matter. Also the acting in the snippets looks every bit as good as people claim it is.

I too approve. It also looks pretty, uh, snappy. I'm just not sure it would stay with me for more than a couple of seconds after. Worth a try though.
