the deer hunter is tough because the first hour or so is just getting to know
the characters at a wedding.. it goes on forever and ever.. then it completely
switches gears and gets into the intense portion of the movie.. it's almost like
2 different movies.. it's hard to get through.. but it'll be worth it for you.. it's
really a great movie and all involved are at the top of their game

Yeah I agree about the wrester, micky and marisa.

And I agree with omaha, deer hunter takes time. I have no attention span and I liked it...a lot...

so i finished it...good movie for sure, too long for my tastes and some drawn out things for me, but definitely after that 1st hour or so it's good...the prisoner roulette scene and final roulette scene were intense for sure...it's cool to see a seemingly "lucid' walken, compared to how he is now...same with deniro...a young, cool actor, instead of the paunchy older fellow we see now (and what i'm more used to)...

Zombieland was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

Brief Interview With Hideous Men was excellent. I can't think of another way to film/adapt David Foster Wallace. There are a few scenes where the scene the interviewee is describing plays out as he describes it...while he's acting in it. I am not sure if I explained it properly, but those scenes stood out to me as very creative.

I fell asleep during parts of the Deer Hunter. Two things I think I think:

1. Audiences today don't have the attention span to handle a lot of the long, character and dialogue-driven quientessential movies of the 70s.
2. Damn, some of those movies really could have used more editing. Apocalypse Now and The Deer Hunter immediately spring to mind.

also: They're making movies of David Foster Wallace books now? I'll have to check that out. I'll keep waiting for the 12 hour long film version of Infinite Jest, complete with 2 hours of endnotes in the closing credits.

I regret watching Paranormal Activity.
