Seconded. Particularly the duct tape over Lars' mouth.

Seconded. Particularly the duct tape over Lars' mouth.
It played theaters almost two years ago. You can easily buy an American region copy on Amazon.
I'm excited, to put it mildly:

I fucking love the real teaser.
I eventually started it, and turned it off with about half an hour remaining. Though I'm not qualified to write a review, I felt the first hour was some of the worst storytelling I've encountered in...
Ladies and gentlemen, Alejandro Jodorowsky has a new film, and it's playing in the Director's Fortnight.
ATTENTION LOS ANGELES:
The best film I saw in 2012 finally has a proper release, and at the place it was meant to be seen:...
Anyone looking for a ticket to the Santa Barbara Bowl show tomorrow - PM me.
I mentioned Place Beyond the Pines - the problem is that it kind of sucked.
I saw Upstream Color again on Saturday - my love is confirmed.
I also saw To the Wonder on Friday night. I'm...
Yeah, I'm excited. It has to at least be fun to watch, even if it's not top-shelf Wong.
Joe, did you see that The Grandmasters got a wide release date of August 23rd?
The trailer for Nicolas Winding Refn's new film looks pretty awesome:

Hoping I like it more than Drive, which I...
That's great - I can't wait to watch it. Congratulations to them!!!
US $35.00 Ticket + US $11.65 Fees = US $46.65
US $137.50 Ticket + US $18.25 Fees = US $155.75
Coincidentally, I re-watched Soderbergh's version on Friday night. It's pretty strong for a Hollywood version of the same story, but at nearly half the length (and, as with most films by other...
I am excited for Beyond the Candelabra.
Well kids, the movie year is still young, but we have an early front-runner for biggest disappointment of 2013. The Place Beyond the Pines - Derek Cianfrance's follow-up to my Best of 2010 pick Blue...
I'm not saying Spring Breakers is an especially profound movie, but it deals (in its way) with sociological currents that underlie contemporary youth culture. As such, it has more on its mind than...
Spring Breakers addresses deeper ideas than Hurt Locker and its form is far more innovative. Next question.
Can't fucking wait to see The Place Beyond the Pines tomorrow.
Also, the new one definitely does not look like a bigger piece of shit than the previous film. It actually looks like a half-decent modern superhero movie.

Real "film people" hate everything involving girls with dragon tattoos.
"Edge of your seat"? As in, you were on the verge of walking out the entire time?
I'm anxious to see it again and focus more on the racial material. I was caught off guard by it (which, in retrospect, doesn't make any sense given the knowledge of who Franco was playing), so I'm...
As was to be expected, I thought Spring Breakers was fantastic. I don't know that I would call it a work of existentialism, though it certainly has some fascinating phenomenological currents both in...
I always knew someone would snatch the crown from Passive. I just didn't think it would happen here.
And the board has reached a new low.
Basically, you should watch Leprechaun In Da Hood.
I also think Jim Sheridan is pretty damn good as far as super-traditional, sentimentally-inclined dramatists go. He has a habit of casting Daniel Day-Lewis (My Left Foot, In the Name of the Father...
Watch The Crying Game. But don't read anything about it if you haven't heard anything yet.
Are you being sincere? In the last few years, Cranston has signed on for Len Wiseman's Total Recall, John Carter, Red Tails, all three of Seth MacFarlane's shows, and of course, Rock of Fucking...
The whole league is eying him. I would imagine he chooses between the Broncos and 49ers if he's interested in winning a title.
I like the third act at Skyfall more than anything else I've seen in the series. But that's mainly because I hate Bond movies more than almost any other franchise.
I'm also inclined to say sieges...
The final piece would be a tumor. Specifically, a tumor in Jim Harbaugh's brain.
Oh, who am I kidding...

Can Denver get Nnamdi also, please?
Yeah, it's a great cast. I loved what Evans did visually with Monsters; if he can just get someone who can write this well...
I certainly can't dispute that. In many instances, I'm way harsher on movies that I'm okay with initially but have to keep talking and hearing about for months on end (Hurt Locker, Social Network...
In response to both Bobby and Randy.... I don't necessarily wish to get into a huge Hurt Locker debate either (especially because I haven't seen it in three years and it didn't stick with me at all)...
That's accurate in a sense - it's an alright movie. It just happens to be miscast as a great one, and I don't even mean by the Oscars; many smart people seem to feel it's actually some sort of...
Remind me how you came down on The Hurt Locker? I understand someone who hated that one killing ZDT for the same reasons, but when I heard people who loved Hurt Locker trashing ZDT, it felt more...
Anyone in LA who was piqued by my review of Phase IV:
You have another chance to see it as part of LACMA's dubiously-titled "Science Fiction After Kubrick" series.
If you have not seen...
The entire conversation around Zero Dark Thirty kind of weirds me out. I went in hyper-sensitive to flag-waving bullshit, because that was exactly what I hated about The Hurt Locker....yet I appear...
I like the idea of playing off the tension between stimulation and disgust (this is why I come down solidly in favor of the way Zero Dark Thirty portrays torture), but I don't think it adds much...
I have a rear orchestra ticket to the Lou Reed Warfield show that I won't be using. I would be happy to let it go for a reasonable price (I paid $70).
I decided to try listening to Belong's Common Era again today, for the first time in about a year. It really is as shitty as October Language is great.
I blind bought I'm a Cyborg a few years ago based on good will from JSA, Oldboy and especially Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. Three times I have started it, and three times I have turned it off less...
I haven't seen it yet, which is largely a symptom of Park's last three films being drastically worse than his first three. I will probably check out that one or the new Abbas Kiarostami movie...
It's extremely well-constructed and performed. I also really liked the (relatively) subtle implication that being surrounded by nasty fast food is something of an intellectual sedative. But I don't...
Did either of you see the supplementary exhibit in the Academy museum lobby? I want to try to make it over there before it closes on April 7th....
Yeah, I can also vouch for its awesomeness. I spent two hours there and could easily have stretched it to three.
