I saw 2046 last weekend and was disappointed. I loved In the Mood for Love but this movie was just... wacky. Most of it was a retread of ITMFL, which while pretty, is still a retread. Then it went into this futuristic mode that was silly and dumb. Another annoyance is that Maggie Cheung was credited but appeared for like a minute and most of that minute was footage from ITMFL. Also, too long!

Last night we watched The Star with Bette Davis. Sad story of a washed-up movie star. Good but pitiful.

I tried watching Bully last night and didn't make it more than about 20 minutes in. Somehow I'd forgotten it was a Larry Clark film and should have been prepared. I don't remember whether or not I liked Kids, although I remember it was pretty uncomfortable to watch. I just didn't have the patience for this one. Three teen sex scenes in 15 minutes was my limit.

That's too bad. I loved In The Mood For Love, too.

Yeah... I narrowly avoided renting Ken Park the other day because I'd heard aquaintances talking about how steamy it was and didn't realize it was a Larry Clark movie until I was looking at the videotape box.

This is making the rounds on the internets. I can't vouch for its veracity, but it's kind of funny.
