I did watch a much more enjoyable, if not great, film staring George Clooney last night; Burn After Reading from the Coen Brothers. Without getting into the plot, John Malkovich was great, as was Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt and Richard Jenkins. This film came and went a couple years ago without me ever having heard of it. It's far from their best, and may not even be in the upper half of the best Coen Brothers films, but it was still entertaining from beginning to end. **** out of *****

How phenomenal was the Clooney shooting Pitt scene? Roll, pop, [expletive].

Recently saw the film "Triangle" (2009) on a recommendation from a friend.

Couldn't make anything from it. Anyone else see it and could make meaning from it one way or another?

This makes much more sense here than in the babes thread.

Never heard of it, btw.

It was analogous to the Sisyphus mythos. She died in a car wreck and her punishment for abusing her autistic son was to have to relive that series of events over and over and over. The wiki page does a fantastic job of explaining.

I finished most of the first episode of HBO's "Deadwood" series. So not really fair to make the assessment -but I know I'm not going to be addicted to it enough to finish a season per week.

Again have not seen enough, but it appears generic on several fronts
-the sets -not much of the natural landscape that is key to western.
-the language - I'm no expert to the dialect of that time, but Deadwood uses more of todays language with the "hey we're HBO and we can use the F word" -overuse.
-color tone - it seems every period piece now has its own color - and Deadwood has decided that the old West was Sepia.

Sorry Deadwood , your going back to the library.

[thrill]

That's a poor choice.

[clevername]

yep. Deadwood has some of my favorite TV characters ever.

as for the language, it's intentionally anachronistic because hearing the curse words they used back then would come off funny sounding to us now.

That's a poor choice.

I took a look to see if its something I'd want to commit a month to. A month of sepia - Just not practical.

Maybe over the winter.
