You know, between Bobby Fischer and J.D. Salinger, Americans have a major fascination with mid-century reclusive assholes

Eye of God was okay, but yeah The Grey Zone is excellent

Did anyone else see The Grey Zone? Son of Saul sounds somewhat reminiscent of it

Arbitrage was actually pretty terrific

No, Europacorp exists to make intelligent Americans stop being so insecure about how inferior they are culturally to Europe

Yeah but I think the film asks some interesting questions about the way that we view it when one person in a relationship changes the other. Isn't there always something selfish about molding somebody to be, well, better for you?

The Shape of Things is underrated. Mamet would have been proud of it

Well I suppose my comment was predicated on the idea that his comment wasn't clever or amusing at all (clearly, my friend, you have a low, low threshold for pun-related hijinks) making him the equivalent of the person who says "tell us how you really feel" when someone's making a heated statement

Well I made an intelligent, reasoned point, and I was greeted with

So? ArgieBargie isn't one of those people. And yet his first thought was "Let me rush to post my inane pun rather than contribute anything of value!"

What have you accomplished with that statement?

Good call. The "origin story" aspects of the movie felt very unnecessary, perhaps even more so than usual

No I've been around, in one name or another, for more than a decade. And I've watched its depressing decline into a place where people compete to see how stupid they can be instead of having real conversations

Yes, a place where people can gather to talk about film/tv/music, right? It's not called the Shitty Pun Club. Commenters should try to say something worthwhile

Thanks for your hilarious contribution to the conversation. Why not try to say something of substance rather than make a really, really inane pun?

This really showcases the limitations of twitter — I assume a clever piece of performance art by Ava!

Agree with this review. It was fine, but without the interesting internal characterization of the book, it never manages to be more than decent

Good to see a Noel Murray review

Heh, it got a remake. Wrong Sox though

One stupid thing about that line — Sellers went home empty-handed too. His performance carried no more weight with the academy than Penn's
