I'll join the chorus of Michael Clayton praise.

The American was not what I expected it to be. It was very much a slow burn character film. I liked it. Plus it has lots of gratuitous casual nudity of a very attractive Italian girl who may be perfect.

Except her jungle bush.

And obviously everyone on this message board is stupid, and therefore I hate you all. It is not at all a case of me being too dumb or slow to understand the movie - everyone on this board is stupid except for me.

Mrs. Swirls and I saw The American with George Clooney this weekend. [expletive] awful. It reminded me a lot of Michael Clayton, in that it was very very slow and made no sense whatsoever. It honestly looked like a really [expletive] independent film whose producer somehow managed to con George Clooney into taking the lead role.

So yeah, if you liked Michael Clayton, you'll probably like The American. Otherwise, stay away.

I love to see Clooney make movies where he makes guns look really, really sexy.

"Charlton Heston announced again today that he is suffering from Alzheimer's," Clooney said. When asked if the actor went too far with his remarks, Clooney responded by saying, "I don't care. Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association; he deserves whatever anyone says about him."

And dropping a hybrid engine in a Jaguar? Also no kind of logical ethical statement in that. I'm pretty sure I hate that guy. And I always want to hate him in his movies, but I always end up liking him.

I watched K-19 yesterday.

Movie Guns don't kill people, NRA Guns kill people.

Duh.

my friend, you need to check out some certain 70's films. That was a well groomed, almost landing strip situation she had going.

[The Third Man]

I caught a really unique and very good movie over the weekend. It's called "Il Divo" and it's a biopic about Giulio Andreotti, a former Prime Minister in Italy who had mafia ties. I can't speak at all to how accurate it was but stylistically, it was incredible- sort of a mish-mash of Scorsese's restless camerawork, Tarantino's hipster goofiness, and Oliver Stone's lust for political biography.

This sounds way up my alley. I remember reading an NYT review when it came out and proceeded to completely forget about it, thanks for the reminder.

Love it. My favorite Scorsese picture, although I'm in the huge minority.
