I heard he's the kind of character you really want to punch in the face. hard.

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.

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.

I just saw the trailer for Appaloosa online--I think I'll have to take Dad to see it. He's a big John Wayne/Western fan, and I'm a big Viggo and Ed Harris fan, so it's the perfect film for us!

Oh yes.

We were discussing his batshit craziness last night. Because he is really batshit craxy, just in a charming, photogenic way.
