Xander ,'Touched'
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.
I don't even know what I think about Imaginarium.
I will say that Terry's wonderful visual style is watered down by CGI.
And all that meta hype is horribly misdirecting about who the focus of the movie is on --although first thirty or forty minutes sans Heath is a big clue, but that was thirty or forty minutes I was all "so, where's the lead?" before I realized that his role (flashy! hype! hype!) wasn't that important. And that's important I think, in order to stomach the end.
I know he had a rotten childhood. It doesn't mean that as an adult he gets to terrorize children in return.
And I don't mean to re-hash that discussion here, as I know it was played out when he was arrested in Switzerland.
But knowing how I feel about him, the next level is whether or not to see a movie he's made.
We finally watched Let the Right One In. Am I to understand that Eli's "father" started out as her boyfriend like Oscar?
That's one interpretation. But not what happened in the book.
thanks, Tommy. I think I'll look for the book.
Am I wrong in seeing a similarity in The Informant! and American Psycho?
Scola, really? Seems like a joke.

Between this news and all the ads for that horror movie with Timothy Olyphant, I am struck with the mental image of Christian Bale and Jared Leto capering around the stage singing in Crazies!
thanks, Tommy. I think I'll look for the book.
Just so you know, the book is much more disturbing.
