Its been two days since I watched Boyhood and its really sitting well with me. I feel like its one of those movies you're either really going to love or feel pretty indifferent about depending on how much you can relate to the characters.

Per IMDB the first 20 min were dubbed for US release. Never noticed, or knew that.

The only subtitling was the nightclub scene and it was a formal gag: you can't hear them over the music.

Another vote for Fury. That was a solid flick.

Louis CK, from a long email that was mostly about comedy clubs:
That’s all. I hope you enjoy the special. Please see the movie “Boyhood”. It’s a great piece of filmmmaking and even literature. And take your kids to see “Into The Woods” It teaches the greatest lesson you could teach a kid: If you are paying attention, life is very confusing.

If you don't like Boyhood, you are either a cyborg or were born a 43 year old middle manager who has already erased any trace of memory of what it was to grow up.

I liked Napolean Dynamite but Boyhood sounds naive.

Or you hate Ethan Hawke? (was my wife's line, I think he's fine)

While it might be "great literature" (a stupid thing to say about any film), I also don't read literature about kids growing up, I suppose.

I was very entertained by John Wick. Pulpy dialogue, well-shot action scenes, and several really satisfying ass-kickings.
