I liked it, and the animation style was really cool. One of the better animated movies of the year, however I prefer Up.

Just watched Anvil.



Interesting and sad, you do feel sorry for them...but can't help but find them pathetic as well, to be honest.

Still confuses the shit outta me but I'm determined to continue watching it until I understand every little detail about it.

Understandable. He's not my favorite but I just don't have anything against him. Now Rob Schneider is a "comedian" I can't stand.

I think he USED to be funny. I thought he was fantastic in Happy Gilmore and the rather underrated Wedding Singer.

And he actually does posess some serious actng talent, Punch Drunk Love convinced me of that.

But it does go without saying that most of his films are terrible.

However I think all he needs is some talented writers and directors to work with, which unfortunately for him is a rarity. And that being said Funny People does look very good, I'm not gonna ignore a potentially great film just because he's in it, that would be stupid.

I think he suffers from the classic case of a comedian being much better in a serious role and his comedy generally sucking ass. I have never found him remotely funny personally. Jim Carrey is another casualty. Apart from The Mask he is much better in serious roles. He is outstanding in Man On The Moon.

I actually love a lot of Carrey's older comic roles. Ace Ventura, Dumb & Dumber, Liar Liar, The Mask and especially The Cable Guy. I liked him in Me, Myself and Irene too.

But his more recent films have just come off as rather desperate, as he gets older he lacks the energy he used to have but he still tries to reuse the same gimmicks and it just dosen't work anymore.

He's still a great dramatic actor though, I agree with that.

I think Robin Williams is another good example of a comic actor who is actually better at dramatic roles. He hasn't been in a good comedy since The Birdcage, but he still churns out some amazing dramatic performances, I think that's what he should stick with for now on.

Ace Ventura ftw.

Also watched Eraserhead last night.
Scariest movie I've ever watched.

Lame. Totally, totally lame.

I mean, the first one was believable and good up to a point, while the second installment of the trilogy here's just so overdone, badly written and takes far too many liberties in the name of (sports) dramatic license. I dread to think what the third one's like.

Anyone who's thought about seeing this, just go and watch the Damned United instead.

Robin Williams was especially good in One Hour Photo, The Fisher King and Insomnia. I really want to see the full cut of Being Human too which was cut to shreds by those oh so knowledgeable folk in Hollywood. Shame as this was (Director) Bill Forsyth's long gestating and personal project.
