I've been feeling a bit claustrophobic with my life lately and A Man Escaped was just what the doctor ordered. I think Jake once mentioned how effective the sound of the film was and I'll echo that. Every little noise made me want to gasp.

Pickpocket next?

I'm really excited for Pacific Rim. I'm going to feel like I'm eight years old.

The Iron Giant
8.6/10 First time I've seen it in over a decade.

So much nostalgia with that one. I almost don't want to see it again, just to preserve the memories.

Btw anyone else notice from the trailer how heavily it looks like they're borrowing from Anime (particularly Evangelion) imagery and design?

I think it's an homage.

Akira Kurosawa - Ran

Rivetingly entertaining and innumerable gorgeous shots. I didn't find it as affecting overall as other Kurosawa I've seen (= Rashomon and Seven Samurai), but it's still a wonderful film.

That's my general opinion of that. I'm not terribly familiar with King Lear, so I wonder if that would change my opinion.

saw 'before midnight' and mostly really enjoyed it (not having seen the first 2). Was surprised to go on IMDB and see so many people hating on it. But left wondering two things, though:
1) how much of that dialogue was scripted? Seems like it would be incredibly hard to remember 20 minutes of straight dialogue.
2) what married/serious couple actually argues like this with references to feminist movements and what not? When I grew up it was mostly just a lot of 'fuck you' and 'no fuck you'.

I saw the first, I don't know, 30-40 minutes of Eternal Sunshine a few weeks ago and was struck by how absurd the whole premise was. My disbelief was on the verge of insuspension not because of the obviously fictional memory-erasing clinic but because of the presentation of the clinic as a successful business, a place where sad lovers and grieving pet owners rid themselves of all their wonderful memories. It's ridiculous. That's simply not how human beings function. I don't know a single person who would go to a place like that, even if it did exist.

Yeah the only reason I like that film anymore is just because it is exceptionally well directed. The story doesn't really hold up much past the initial, more naive viewings, imo. Science of Sleep is probably a stronger film, all things considered.
