I'm really looking forward to this one (for obvious reasons). Keira Knightly being in it only makes me look forward to it more.

Cronenberg is brilliant, and Viggo is one of my absolute favorites. So yeah, I'm with you. Hyped as hell.Cronos wrote:[/youtube]

Re: movies
I was honestly a little disappointed with the story of "History of Violence", but I'm hoping that my vested interest in the subject matter should help give me much more of an appreciation of Cronenberg's directorial style.The Third Man wrote:Cronenberg is brilliant, and Viggo is one of my absolute favorites.

Viggo rarely disappoints, but I'm gonna be paying very close attention to how he pulls off Freud. The dynamic of Freud and Jung was a damn interesting one, and this movie will either be oscar-nomination worthy or a huge disappointment one way or another for me.

Aw, man, History of Violence is one of my absolute favorites of the last decade. (Eastern Promises isn't far behind and Viggo is even better in that movie, for my money's worth.) But, that movie seems to have some pretty split opinions, so fair enough.

Did you blog about it in the link in your sig? I clicked on it but didn't see it in the first page.The Third Man wrote:Aw, man, History of Violence is one of my absolute favorites of the last decade.

I found the whole thing a little trite and weird. He didn't remember that he was a mobster, then had sex with his wife in a cheerleader outfit, then suddenly remembered (or accepted) that he was a mobster and went and killed some people. It just didn't resonate with me for some reason. Maybe I should watch it again.

I didn't, nah. But, it wasn't his memory. He always knew, he was trying to get away from his old life and unfortunately made himself a public face and tipped his old cohorts off to his whereabouts.

Re: movies
Eastern Promises is one of my favorite crime flicks ever. History of Violence I also liked, justvpreferred the former. Cronenberg is awesome.
Just finished off Silence of the Lambs. Harder to rewatch after Hannibal-imitating Cartman, but still fun.

Re: movies
"Attack the Block" comes to STL this weekend. Not sure which other theaters but I know it'll be at Ronnie's for sure. So... I know what I'm doing this weekend.
