I love the discussion people have regarding the end of the movie Shane. Did he die or not, etc. I guess it's implied, but I love how people still talk about it 56 years later.

Me likee

1. The Fantastic Mr. Fox ("that's my trademark")
2. A Serious Man ("please, I need help")
3. Tron Legacy (two Jeff Bridges for the price of one!)
4. Bad Lieutenant (herzog's version NSFW)
5. The Expendables (no trailer as yet)

Wow, I am so damn excited about that one.

I actually like the current commercial for 2012. It's an ad for a group called the Institute for Human Continuity. Except for a couple of random shots included in the commercial and the "this film is not rated" caption at the end, you can't tell it's really a trailer for 2012. It's clever. Kinda reminds me of the T2 attraction at Universal or Total Recall or something. Neat! The website for the film is theihc.com, it's neat too.

I had a chance to see Adam a few days ago - going into it, I knew that I was going to compare it to 500 Days of Summer. With that said, I didn't think that Adam was as good as 500 Days. AFAIK, Adam is the first movie that explicitly deals with Asperger's syndrome... but yet, it didn't do much with it and it certainly did not resonate with me. It's very funny at times but also heavy-handed at others.

I would recommend at least a rental for Hugh Dancy's performance. Just ignore Rose Byrne.

I like the ad because I know it is an ad. I don't like it because I've already run into too many people who actually believe the 2012 end of the world BS. The rubes need not the encouragement.

I'm right there with you Alex. I plan on getting the rubes to sign away all their earthly possessions & wealth to me, delivery guaranteed on January 1, 2013. There are a lot of stupid people out there--I plan on becoming rich--rich I tells ya!!

The Party. Hysterical. I laughed all the way through it. I think this might have been one mousepod had recommended to me but I'm not sure. I loved it. Peter Sellers was damn funny. "Birdie Num Num."

I gotta say A Goofy Movie is one of my favorite Disney animated features. It's truly inspired in a lot of places. I mean, for me, it's totally laugh out loud funny. Lester's Possum Park is comedy gold in a Disney parodying Disney sort of way. All that and then there's a really cool father/son plot throughout. Good stuff.

Yikes! 5% for All About Steve.

Ty Burr from the Boston Globe:

Quote:

Easily the worst movie of the week, month, year, and Bullock’s entire career. It is to comedy what leprosy once was to the island of Molokai: a plague best contemplated from many miles away.

Wow! Harsh!
