so back to City Lights. For you film buffs, seems there are different versions of the movie esp the end. In fact the copy I got from netflix had a version 5.1 as well. Didn't have time to check out the differences but I am curious as to what they are.

Anything?

We're talking about the Chaplin movie?

finna watch PLace Beyond the Pines and i am PSYCHED

follow up edit:

this movie is [expletive] badass.

It's long as [expletive] and i won't spoil anything but there is one thing i never saw coming and it was kind of a holy [expletive] moment.

The only problem with it is that it got all terrence mallicky there for a bit. But i was willing to overlook the terrence mallicky stuff and appreciate the fact that this might one of the most underrated movies of all time because of the character development and the fact that there is one big circle to follow.

Ryan Gosling and BRadley Cooper are awesome as usual. No homo.

Well, I know that Chaplin fired Cherill and hired Georgia Hale from "The Gold Rush" and shot the end scene with her, only to decide that he was too far along to scrap all of Cherill's footage. And I seem to remember an extended ending to that last scene where the blind girl leads the Tramp into the flower shop. Off to Google...

For the most part, Farhenheit 451 is a very cool movie.

Some excellent imagery. Of course the storyline too. Kitsch factor thru the roof. The commune at the end was a bit annoying.

Was surprised how charming and quaint the town was. No 15 lane roads with cars on them...the movie is a European take on an American novel. Yeah, the populace fit the bill though.

I was kind of disappointed with a place beyond the pines. The first half was awesome. But the second have felt like a completely separate movie. Those kids were completely unlikeable and Bradley Cooper doesn't do all that much in the second half that makes you understand much about where he is coming from.

Loved Killer Joe.
