I stopped watching after a half-hour, P-C, for the same reason.
I wanted to give it up, but I stuck it out. I suppose it was worth it.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Hey. New board.
I just saw Closer. I know I'm supposed to like it,
Why? I know a lot of people that don't.
but I wanted to punch everyone in the face except Alice, and not just because it was Natalie Portman. She seemed to be the only one with any sense of decency.
Yeah, she is. Kind of the point, a bit.
The whole movie makes me feel kind of dirty.
I think that may be why I like it. It makes me want to drink scotch.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I really liked 3/4 of the performances in the film (Yes, I'm looking at YOU, JR). i thought the writing was strong and compromising but I also disliked all of them.

Hey. New board.
I rather like Julia Roberts in the movie, but Jude Law leaves me pretty cold.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I could live without the rest of 'em but Clive Owen is fucking fierce.

I found the massive time jumps really confusing, and it made it hard for me to follow the relationships and/or get any sense of them.

Clive Owen is fucking fierce.
I kind of want the scene where he explodes at Roberts on an endless loop so I can watch it whenever I want.
I didn't hate it, but it seemed like it was written for actors to perform, not for audiences to watch.

Owen owns the film, no doubt. He played the Law role onstage, which is cool.

Seriously! I have pulled the movie off OnDemand just to FF to that.

That's a good observation.
