Though Brad Pitt's character really only worked because it was Brad Pitt. Still loved him though.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I heard he's the kind of character you really want to punch in the face. hard.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It's certainly not the best Coen brothers ever, but it is laugh-out-loud funny.
I'm so glad to hear this -- I'm not expecting best ever, but I've been looking forward to a new funny Coen. And then the reviews I've seen have been pretty meh. I'll happily take laugh-out-loud funny without expecting too much more.

Uh, no. Not for me. Maybe a smack upside the head, but I'd save the face-punching for Malkovich's character.
The Coens are just a wee bit too in love with their cleverness and machinations for the film to work, but it's still fun. I'm glad I saw it for free, though.

Probably going to see that tonight.
I saw Tropic Thunder a couple of weeks ago. Have we discussed that here? I didn't think that the elements that caused all the controversy were really all that. But Tom Cruise (who I had no idea was even in it) and Matthew Mchoweveryouspellit totally stole the show.

I think he would be, if it wasn't Brad Pitt. 'Cause Brad Pitt playing this goofball? Comedy gold.

And juliana, I was wrong, Burn After Reading is not playing at my local theater this weekend. Instead, it's the film that shall not be named.
Le sigh.

Voldemort has his own movie?
the previews make Burn After Reading look hilarious to me. i'm considering using my free pass to go see it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I agree about Tropic Thunder, Brenda. I was totally shocked at how much I actually loved Cruise in this movie. Which...weird as hell to say, ptui, ptui! McConaghey does the mad-eyed bit-between-his-teeth though clueless thing very well. Both of them ride character deep into caricature, yet find a thread of reality to anchor them.
Downey, though. I remain kinda awed by.
