'Objects In Space'
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.
Except for Carrie-Anne Moss (who I would watch reading the phone book to a dog), there is nothing about this movie that did not completely suck. It's like a bad parody of a bad X-Files episode, only longer and less coherent.
Which really sucks, because the director's other two films are quite interesting. SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE is just hugely entertaining and BEGOTTEN, while not an easy movie to watch, is a rather singular achievement. Hollywood claims another soul - feh!
Top Gun came out, and we all grew up a little.....
God bless volleyball.
It was like porn for us, for real.

Eh, I wasn't a big fan. I thought Willem Dafoe gave a great performance, but the script depended way too much on cheap laughs, which weren't even all that funny. (And it had the same "look at my one camera trick!" problem that Being John Malkovich did.)

Well, I guess the cheap laughs worked for me, much the way the book FLICKER did. I'm not sure what you mean by the "one camera trick" w/r/t either SOTV or BJM. Neither movie seemed dependent on a particular visual IMO.

Dude, I *still* stop what I'm doing and watch the volleyball scene whenever Top Gun is on TV.

Once in college a friend an I blew off an afternoon class to make pina coladas and watch the volleyball scene.
I don't think I've ever seen Top Gun, and thus have no clue what's up with this volleyball scene.
SotV had "And...iris in!" every five minutes (as though every single shot in Nosferatu began with a circular wipe, which just isn't the case -- the portrayal of Nosferatu as a cheesy B-movie overall was just irritating), and BJM had that fuzzy-edged oval Malkovich-cam.
Oh, P-C. You must.
