I felt like whether he (this is your chance to stop reading because I'm not feeling like spoiler tags) lived or died would have felt like a cop out either way. The combination/fakeout approach subverted that.

Dark and depressing endings are a cliche of their own these days. I'm guessing you know that happy endings that tie things together are cliche too. The ending teases the latter and follows through with the former, and in doing so manages to not be a cliche.

Which movie you talking about?

Spoiler for The Vanishing:

I've seen and love The Vanishing more, but I was talking about Buried.

Paprika is one of my new favorite movies. It's so so nice and gay and I love everything about it. I wish I could see it for the first time every time

Master & Commander.

It was allright. Some of the ship scenes were confusing and a couple of them made little sense to me, but it was fun none the less.

All Things Must Pass

Tels the story of the rise and fall of Tower Records. Fascinating how a company can be the top of its game and then vanish just like that. The way they treat their employees however is how you run a company. Russ Solomon is a legend. This also makes me wish I grew up in the 70s.

It's so imaginative and beautiful. I love just absorbing every it throws my way. Tokyo Godfathers is another anime by the same director that's very much worth watching, allthough it's far less weird.

Agreed on all of that, and it's funny because I saw Colin Hanks at Amoeba records a few months ago in Hollywood. Who knew he was into music so much.

Not only is the guy going to suffocate but after 3 years he now knows his wife dealtt with the same unimaginable terror. __________________ “The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.”
