You were talking about focus groups, and I heard a rumour that Solaris had one of the worst ratings despite it being brilliant.
Way to go with the hardhitting questions, Graun!
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

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, it seems like the transcript is missing the sound effect of the interviewer unzipping Soderberg mid-chat.

To be fair that's a fan question at a post-screening Q&A.

How did folks around here feel about The Good Girl?
We caught it a couple of days ago and was really surprised by it.

I was surprised by it too. The kind of slow, character study kind of movie that I really enjoy. Painful to watch at times, but in a genuine way.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What JohnSweden said. I liked it.

I really enjoyed it. Loved Aniston. After 10 years of tv and movie roles that bordered on the same, it was nice to see her conflicted and sad and pathetic.

How did folks around here feel about The Good Girl?
Well. I saw it in the theatre, which is when Jennifer Aniston was getting all kinds of hype and praise for her amazing acting skillz, etc. So I was expecting something more than what it was.
Not a bad movie, by any means, but it didn't live up to the hype it was getting at the time that I saw it.

"This is the story of a girl, who was put upon ..."
I liked her performance too. Very closed off and desperate. I also liked the creepy Dead Calm kind of an ending, even if the Good Girl ending was meant to be a bit more upbeat.

I saw it the day after watching Chicago, the day after watching The Hours. So my reaction was tainted by 3 consecutive nights of John C Reilly the whining cuckold. Aniston was good, Gyllenhall was Darko (has he ever not been Darko? Darko in a flood! Darko in a supermarket!)
