then go for it! watch it.
the music in the film was running through my head for weeks.
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

I loved Drive. It's one of the most stylish movies I saw in theater the last year, and Ryan Gosling is fantastic in it. Yes, there are moments of shocking violence, although I wouldn't say they are that much worse than violence in your usual action thriller. It's in the way the violence is presented, I think, in brief but very effective bursts. It's pointed.
The director was... Dutch, I think? The movie felt very non-American to me.

Punishingly Intricate
Most of my friends who saw Drive say it was the best film they saw last year. I totally failed to see it in the theater but, thank you for reminding me! I just added to our netflix queue.

Short wait! Booo. I'm watching Moneyball tonight, and that was supposed to be next.

I'm looking forward to hearing your views on Moneyball. I know I'm so totally biased, that I'm curious about the reactions from people who have more distance from the subject.

I bought Puncture at an antique mall on my lunch break today. Haven't watched it yet, but I figure shirtless Chris Evans is worth the 5.50 I paid for it regardless of story quality.

I know jacksquat about baseball, but I really liked Moneyball. I haven't liked anything Brad Pitt has done this much in years. A quietly thrilling movie. And the ending kind of choked me up.

Matt, don't get me wrong, it was a good story. And Evans was delicious in his shirtless suspenders with his tats. But never have I watched a movie and thought "parking the car is taking too long" or "there's no energy in this scene" or "this is a wierd noninformative intro" or "that transition was weird". Really, the editor should've been fired. And I think a lot of the movie was driven on the promise of Grisham conspiracy, which was a great mood-setter, but ultimately false. Lots of the dashing about wasn't so much plot urgency as it was Mike Weiss' being a fucktard and late for shit because he was high.
And I keep telling myself that Downey Jr. got his shit together and he's a decade older than my brother, but I am just terribly sad and it f***ing wrecks me and I'm irrational and making no sense but Puncture hurts in a terrible way.

Nicolas Winding Refn is Danish, but also worked in Britain for a few years before making Drive.
