saw the promotion
it was alright, wish they spent more time on john c reilley’s character though
i thought they should try to paint both people as deserving of the promotion, but it came off as biased towards sean william scott
not as much of a comedy as i thought it would be
Matthew is such a pimp in movie. I bet the sideburns made women cream.
No homo.
i never seen dazed
its one of the ones i wanted to pick up on hd dvd but its always so overpriced and never comes down
so you thought it was good? amazing?

Interesting and worth watching. “Amazing” might be pushing it.
Interesting review, but I see the movie in an completely different light. Here’s my synopsis…
While it is considered a “comedy”, the main enjoyment movie isn’t to laugh. You’ll probably laugh harder and more often in a pure comedy, like Tropic Thunder. I don’t compare this movie to The Big Lebowski; I think it has more similarities to last year’s big Coen film, No Country for Old Men.
A common theme in Coen movies is their side of the whole philosophical debate of free will versus predestiny. The Coens side with the notion of predestiny over free will, in which people don’t truly have a choice over what they do and what becomes of them. They feel that, like everything else in existence (living or non-living), a peoples’ actions is not a series of choices, but simply a series of chain reactions that we are powerless over. We are preprogrammed robots and we are simply governed by our motivations. Our actions aren’t decided by a “soul” that makes us different than other creatures. Our every action is simply a domino in a never-ending chain of dominoes: what happens only happens because of what happens before it, and governs what happens after it.
This is the theme in No Country, and this is the theme with Burn After Reading. If you’ve seen No Country before, every character in Burn After Reading is basically Llewellyn Moss, someone who’s plagued by his human motivations and doomed to their destiny because of them. However, in this movie, every main character is motivated by something different and unique to them.
-Frances McDormand (Linda) is motivated by her vanity, and needs to get the money for her cosmetic surgury.
-Brad Pitt is motivated by the irresistible allure of fun and adventure, and his idiocy.
-Ted is motivated by his unrequited love for Linda.
-John Malkovich is motivated by anger and his incessant need to get revenge on everyone who has wronged him.
-His wife is motivated by greed. She wants to divorce him, but needs his financial information to ensure that she doesn’t come away empty handed.
-George Clooney is motivated by lust and sexual adventure.
-The Russians think they’re dealing with something strategically important and hope to gain leverage on the Americans.
-The Americans also think they’re dealing with something important, and try to prevent the contents of the disc from compromising the CIA.
Of course, unbeknown to everyone involved, the contents of the disc is completely worthless and unimportant. However, all of the characters’ destinies intertwine because of it, resulting in the ensuing in chaos and hilarity. The movie ends with the CIA officials reflecting on the a “clusterfuck” of bullshit that happened over a disc of worthless information, and struggle to find something to learn anything from it.
Going back to the theme of free will versus predestiny, the Coens are basically saying that, sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to what happens. We’re just a bunch of dominoes waiting for nature to take its course. They convey this through a comedy that isn’t really supposed to make you laugh (although several scenes do), but make you smile and shake your head at.
what a lame cliche ending to weeds season 4
oh well at least you got to see nancy botwin naked again
:wgrin:
she aight
^ whats wrong with her 
Id totally hit it everyday of the week and twice on sundays…
another good Mad Men. Mrs. Draper is fuckin Don’s shit up. Sig I hope you stocked up on Utz before moving to Vegas
utz are awesome, my old girlfriend and i went on an utz tour before
haven’t seen them out here though
is it an east coast only thing?
Snow Angels
Nice character movie, subtle performance by Sam Rockwell really clinched it for me. Kate Beckinsale was woefully miscast in this movie, however.
oh yea if anyone is in vegas and wants to get drunk, i have literally hundreds of free drink tickets
every time i place a bet at a casino they give me 2 free drink tickets [alcoholic drinks] with no expiration date.
i only drink water so no use for them
I haven’t seen He Got Game, but I’ll go rent it tomorrow after I watch the two-movie haul from the rental store last time.
Better than Do The Right Thing? (I’ll admit, being white and living in a mainly-white state meant that some of the subtle messages and scenes escaped me)
Edit: And if anyone is a fan of documentaries and/or slightly interested in Breakdancing, go rent/buy Inside The Circle. Dope ass movie, and it was really nice to have perspectives and words from breakers. :tup:
so i saw The Fall again this time on dvd…they have 2 pretty good and long behind the scenes special features and it is interesting how that dude directs, he is pretty intense…he made the little girl in the cry with is intenseness, it made me lol…
i wonder if it got released on blueray and how rediculous it looks…did you pick this movie up sigley??? and how big is the tv that you watch your movies on???
i still think this is one of the best movies of the year, it will definitely go on my top 10 when this year is over…

It looks pretty damn interesting. It was already a must see for Charlie Kaufman’s directorial debut and all the good people in it, at least for me.
