She looked great but mostly batshit crazy. I can't get over how ugly the huge, beehive, female hairstyles of this era are.

I don't remember what the students name was but he had on this ivory colored sweater that was the boooooomb. Looked so lux and touchable. Also interesting to see Ozzymandias from Watchmen as openly gay considering his implied backstory.

I've always had a thing for Julianne Moore and she looked great in this.

The students name was Kenny and that sweater was steezy.

i have it on dvd and started watching it about 4 times. seems very boring. maybe i'll give it another try.

^your not getting it mixed up with "a serious man" are you? "a single man" is still in theatres in the states. Both took place in the 60's. A serious man was very slow in the beginning. i don't think the start of this one was boring at all.

that sweater was great. that denim fit looked so good also(pic above) cant be levis without tailoring though. they look a bit to slim at the bottom.

one thing that bothered me about the movie was the lack of realism. Everyone was dressed to the max even though most of the locations were at a college. Also everyone looked like models, even the extras. a few ugly ducklings would of made it seem less like a fashion commercial and more like a movie.

^^Polish is a cool dude who is hooked up. I presume he has a screener dvd that was distributed to members of the film academy for Oscar viewing and whatnot.

Nah, I don't think I'll see a Serious Man. Sushi is right, I have a screener of the Single Man. By the beginning I mean first 5 minutes. I think some of my friends watched it and liked it. I need to be in the right mood to try a Tom Ford movie.

I didn't like it.

To be honest unless you have a high tolerance for slow, long, close camera pans of naked dudes shot to look like a Caravaggio painting, this movie could potentially be grating.

It's good. Better than I thought, and better than people are even giving it credit for when they start their reviews with "it was better than I thought..."

The majority opinion seems to be "looks great, substance was lacking." Even though it's meant as a compliment, this is off-base and I think has a lot to do with the fact that no one is taking Tom Ford seriously as a director yet, even though they think that they are -- sort of a "Colin Powell speaks so well" phenomenon.
