^nice pick on the todd solondz, would rep if i could. i really enjoyed storytelling in a twisted kind of way. it's like a black comedy with almost all the funny bits taken out

happiness is quite good too. haven't seen palindromes.

palindromes is really good.

shitty, and not shitty enough to be good.

[Baeyer-Drewson]

so bad it's bad?

[juliaN.]

this is a pretty fucking dope poster design

[freecat]

[chubby]

THIS is a pretty fucking dope movie poster. Great film, I love gus van sant. I remember watching his film elephant when I was maybe 14 and being blown away. His 5 minute segment of Paris, J'taime is definitely one of the best in the montage-film.

Tonight I am watching

[juliaN.]

Last Days was better than I thought it was going to be. More watchable than Elephant, the other film i had seen when Van Sant was going on this type of film kick. Gus always has nice camera work. Pitt's own performance of his song "Death to Birth" wasn't bad either.

[Baeyer-Drewson]

Just saw:

[chubby]

Baeyer, How was it?

[Augustus]

Im watching it tonight! Its rating has been dropping on RT, but hopefully it wont be as bad.

[Baeyer-Drewson]

^Very watchable, highly entertaining.

+

The major and minor story arcs/histories kept largely intact.

Most of even the minor characters (eg, the psychologist/iatrist who treats Rorschach in prison) look exactly as they do in the book.

Very ecclectic soundtrack.

-

The only things I thought were overdone were the fight scenes and the OTT gore (which was kind of cool but digressed from the style of the novel).

Several subplots from the comic were left out (unavoidable given the ultimatum put to Snyder).

Overall, a fairly faithful adaptation of the comic book. I think Snyder has done pretty well to create a film that should satisfy fans and newcomers alike. Nothing earth-shattering but I was pretty impressed.

i heard the soundtrack was lame.

I typically find myself watching newerish films (like films within the last 20 or so years) so I've been trying to switch it up a bit and watch some classics.
