'Touched'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Yeah! Whatever happened to equal-opportunity gratuitous nudity?
I guess they thought the shot with Kevin's Bacon would suffice.
I wonder if McNaughton put the gratuitous shower scene back in for his director's cut.

James Franco?
I so do not get the James Franco thing. I see him, and I just want to smack that ridiculous pout off his face.
Obiwan is actually Henri Ducard. Now I must go google to figure out who the heck that is.
Ah, James Franco is to you what Christian Bale is to me.
I get the James Franco lust, in an objective sort of way. I don't really want to do him, but I can see why others might.
Oh, OK, if JF were lying in my bed with only a container of Ben & Jerry's cappucino heath bar crunch and a smile to his name, I probably wouldn't kick him out. But I prefer Peter Parker, in spite of Tobey's voice. There I was, empathizing with the whole geek in highschool thing, and suddenly he developed arm muscles. And, um, yeah.
James Franco annoyed me almost as much as Anakin Skywalker.

Ouch, that's a pretty high-level of annoyance. At least we're not likely to have to sit through watching a cloyingly cute 10 year old version of Harry saying "I get to be a jedi? Yipee!"
I was saying that, while I liked the movie, I was unable to find its theme. She said she thought it was just supposed to be about memory. I wanted it to say something about memory.
I thought the movie had more to say about love than about memory. Then again, I don't necessarily believe that a movie needs to have an overarching message or theme that can be stated baldly; that's not terribly interesting to me. (Sorry if I'm misrepresenting your point.) I love Eternal Sunshine because it's sad and hopeful and beautiful and weird, because I love the characters, because their last scene together in the hallway makes me ache. Everything about that movie works for me: the structure, the acting, the music, the lighting, the writing. What more would you have wanted, Nonian? (Not trying to be confrontational, just asking.)
