High and Low was good but it's so tedious. The whole second half just completely switched gears and turned into a dry police procedural hunting down a culprit that wasn't very interesting. It got to be a chore at times.

I own the video and have never gotten through it. I assumed what I've missed must be really good based on reaction from others. Now, I don't know. I think I just prefer Mifune with a sword in his hand.

To each their own but I agree, and that sort of dry police procedural has never been able to excite me. I had the same problem (as well as some other problems) with The Naked City for example. I still thought it was very good on the whole, and I'm still very interested in Kurosawa's other crime films but I was a bit let down.

For some inexplicable reason I'm watching Step Brothers right now.

It's the kind of movie that makes me question what I'm doing with my life. There has to be more then this.

I got to watch a series of hilarious episodes teach the charming, womanizing playboy Matthew McConaughey that he did believe in love after all. 'Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.' To my defense I was on a plane where obviously I couldn't take a gun with which to shoot myself in the face. I was too tired to read and unable to sleep.

I was just going through the Woodstock lineup and song list. I had no idea that Sha-Sha-Na was the second to last act, just before Hendrix. [imagine non-alien shock smiley]

edit - Wow, I really thought I was posting in the WTF thread.

Anyone see the new trailer for James Cameron's Avatar? It looks awful.

I think it could go either way. Looks ambitious and I like the imagination. Hopefully there's not too much of his cheesy dialogue.

[clevername]

all that hype about it being photoreal, revolutionary, will change cinema forever, Cameron's the greatest film innovator ever, blah blah blah and it looks like the opening cut scene of a really good video game...but it still looks like a video game.

It looks like it may be fun, but the visuals so far look distracting to me.

I think I would have received it better if I hadn't been told it was the Second Coming for the last few years before footage actually was ready.
