Got a work call in the middle of it. Just finished watching though. Very very good. Quite surprised to see it was directed by a woman.lukethedrifter wrote:If it was incredible you wouldn't be posting while watching it.InvincibleCakeEater wrote:Watching The Hurt Locker right now.

I just watched the all the Terminator movies for the first time in the past two days. Good stuff. I didn't think Terminator Salvation was that bad, although I think Christian Bale was completely miscast-ed. Terminator Salvation had the most believable CGI I've ever seen for one of the scenes. Almost perfect.

She should have been directing a movie about make-up with Doc?

Re: Recently viewed movies
I've seen bits of one of them but I can't remember which. After watching Roger Dodger and trying to figure out what sort of film Dylan Kidd was attempting to make, it seems clear that he was going for a LaBute style, dialogue driven piece centered around a nihilistic misogynist and I just didn't find it worth sticking around for, though I did.omaha_red wrote:i've done "in the company of men". great movie.lukethedrifter wrote:Neil LaBute movies.

I need to watch In the Company of Men or one of the others to see if it's the entire genre I don't like or just this particular movie.

Big Fan- Not quite as intense or dark as I expected it to be from the trailers. Still a pretty good movie with an ending that I enjoyed. Patton Oswalt was better than expected. 7/10

Re: Recently viewed movies
Neil LaBute is a director? I only knew him from The Shape of Things, which I read for a theater class a couple semesters back. It starred Paul Rudd in its original run.
Watched Caché this morning. Michael Haneke is really great at this slow-burn type of material - not quite edge of your seat stuff but always this slight level of discomfort. Didn't like it quite as much as The Piano Teacher (which is amazing), but liked it more than Funny Games (and I wonder yet again why that's his most famous, because though it's very good I think it's the weakest of the three I've seen, or at least the least interesting). Think I'll see Benny's Video next to hold me over until The White Ribbon comes to town in, I believe, February.
Also, I have a dilemma. I hate, hate, hate watching single films in more than one sitting. I never do it. Even with some episodic stuff, which I could justify breaking up, I've watched in a single sitting, such as the five-hour TV cut of Fanny and Alexander. But now I have Satantango, a seven-and-a-half hour Hungarian film, from Netflix, and I can't think of any way I'll have the time to watch this in one sitting now that school has started. Normally I'd do it on a Sunday but with football playoffs no chance. Damn.
