What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

great movie, but fuck -- over 200 minutes, was that really necessary?

Fascinating insight into one of the most notorious relationships in modern filmmaking. Very disconcerting watching Kinski's fits of rage, more so because I've been exposed to something very similar at home. What's more, I think Herzog's character and demeanor is very similar to my own, so it's very difficult to understand why he would willingly seek out such madness...or is it? The clips from some early scenes from Fitzcarraldo which was originally supposed to be played by Jason Robards and feature Mick Jagger certainly show a world of difference in talent and the end result would have probably been a far lesser film...

Funny People

Watched the movie with low expectations and it turned out to be much better than I expected. It's no 40 Year Old Virgin but much better than Knocked Up.

People still haven't learned that impaawards doesn't allow hotlinking.

Anyhow, of all the Apatow films I've seen Knocked up is still my favorite. I downloaded Funny people recently but after learning it lasts 2 and a half freakin' hours am more than reluctant to watch it, especially since it features Sandler...:/

The Machinist. I think I'm the only person who thinks Christian Bale looked really sexy in that movie.

I woke up from my cat jumping on my chest, and I apparently fell asleep with the tv on.

Now, I don't remember the name, but it just happened to be on "Skinemax" so I'm sure you can guess the genre. But being groggy from just being woken up, I actually watched the last half hour or so trying to figure out the plot.

That just shows how much of a life I have....but before that, it was Gran Torino. Not as good as I had hoped. But still decent.

the first half is pretty solid, but then when they reach about the 2 hour mark it really slows down to some kind of drama thing.

still, not a bad movie.
