[The Third Man]

Just watched "Sin Nombre" via the Netflix Instant Queue. Don't see any mention of it here yet.

Can't recommend it highly enough. The director's an American, but it was produced by Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna, the two guys from "Y Tu Mama Tambien"

Fleeing retaliation from the violent Central American street gang he has deserted, young hood Casper boards a northbound train, where he takes refuge on top of the moving freight cars and hopes for a fresh start in a new country. Dodging authorities and other dangers, he finds a new friend in Sayra (Paulina Gaitan), a Honduran girl also making a run for the American border. Cary Fukunaga directs this exciting thriller.

The lead actor looks a little like Yadi:

Hey, I caught that movie via Instant Watch a couple of weeks ago myself. I thought it was great as well. It feels predictable, in a sense - but in a good way, as if the arcs of the main characters are inevitable, not in a telegraphed manner. Hopefully this guy has some more stuff coming up.

Just finished Damnation which bolsters my theory that Bela Tarr is the [expletive] man. Not the utter masterpiece that Werckmeister Harmonies is, but a great film in its own right. The soundtrack is really beautiful, I'll have to hunt it down - so many of my favorite moments in the film were simple tracking shots with music playing. I may finally try to tackle Satantango on Sunday, since there's no football games this weekend...would be lying if I said I didn't dread the thought at least a little, though. Oh well, if I can sit still for five hours of Fanny and Alexander, what's another 2:20?

Who cares if it's fiction...it's fun. Surely you aren't looking for Tucker Max to tell true stories about his life that don't paint him in an extremely flattering light.

Ok, so you don't have a problem with a guy presenting stories as fact that range from stretching the truth to outright lies. This same guy has become a D-list celebrity with a fanbase, book deal and now a movie based on crap. I happen to have a problem with that.

You're in college. Go get laid for [expletive] sake.

Instead of laughing, help a brother out.

Fair play, try wearing a trench coat lined with obscure foreign film posters and flash every girl that walks out of a the film department and your nearest art school.

Sadly, on a related note, my daughter told me not to check out the cute sorority girls at the skating rink because if we fell in love it wouldn't be good since they are like 19 or 20 and it wouldn't work out.

Back on topic, I have Raging Bull from netflix up next. Can you believe I've never seen it?

It's easily in my top 3 of all time. I bet I've seen that movie 20 times. The back
and forth between Denrio and Pesci is some of the best ever written. Luke, think
of me during the "overcooked steak" scene.

Does your dick just disappear on Sundays or something?
