R.I.P.D 10/10 Best film I've seen in years. Cinematography was amazing, the romance subplot was really beautiful. The religious and spiritual messages really resonated with me. I hope there is a sequel.

Europa Report The most atmospheric sci fi I've seen in years.

Synecdoche, New York (because of this thread) Eh, aight I guess. I thought maybe it was funny, more than anything. "I have to go, I'm famous!" I suppose if I were to pick it apart, I would be able to reference a lot of moments that I really enjoyed, and small details that were really well done. But as a whole, it just felt kind of flabby and tedious to sit through.

The Colony It wasn't too horrible at the start, and the bit where they enter Colony 5 and have the encounter with the lone survivor was really well done, but then it quickly turned in to 30 Days of Night missing a chromosome. This movie also made me realize how much I dislike Bill Paxton (with the exception of some of his roles in the 80s/early 90s).

Just saw the trailer for The Conjuring on Worldstarhiphop. Will watch for sure, I get all of my movie recommendations from there.

The Place Beyond the Pines I ended up really enjoying this. They got the scrubby New York State feel down pat. Also, it was like a War of Crooked Faces, Gosling Vs Cooper.

Did you know that Captain Britain, and the fact that he owned the AMULET OF RIGHT and the SWORD OF MIGHT, is widely considered to be one of the most powerful super heroes of all time? Neither did I. In fact I had never heard of Captain Britain until about 2 weeks ago.

Love how you can see the panic in its eyes, even though otherwise its just a cardboard Robot. Same goes with Mascots in times of distress. The bear in particular, when it is getting sacked. edit* wrong vid, just mute the terrible music.

I think Primer was the last movie I rented from Blockbuster. R.I.P BLOCKBUSTER, YOU WILL BE MISSED.
-
I too initially felt that maybe it was (and probably is) the script, but I also couldn't help but remember the little things that I didn't like about Primer...one of which is the delivery of a lot of the lines. As with Primer, I never felt that the supporting cast were all that horrible, and that it was primarily Shane Carruth. I still can't get the extremely juvenile feeling that this film left me with out of my brain. Again, not so much in the story it self but the way everything was conveyed. Maybe I am just too much of an asshole now to appreciate it.

Also, for those who have seen Upstream Color; this may be of interest to you:

So...Upstream Color. As most everyone who has saw it has said, very good looking film. Interesting mood. The biggest problem I am having (which I guess is similar to Primer in a way, albeit much more pronounced) is the acting. I think Shane Carruth is autistic or something. The dialog is like.....not human? Maybe that is the goal, not sure, but some of the emotional responses from the actors and dialog are absolutely ridiculous. "WHY?" "I LIKE YOU" "I'M SCARED" etc. For a more specific scene, please refer to the scene when the girl gets out of the hospital, and what he says/how he acts towards her. I am not sure how to explain it, other than it seemed like he felt the need to bludgeon his audience over the head with his depth and emotion. Also, I don't think he should have cast himself in this one. A. His acting is laughable. B. It comes across as some sort of weird M.Night Shyamalan-istic ego trip to assume that not only can you write your film, record the music, but also ACT IN IT AS WELL??! DUDE UR A RENAISSANCE MAN. But no, seriously...had he picked an actor with a bit more of a weighty emotional presence, I think it wouldn't have been so cringey. I suppose I was hoping for a bit more hard sci-fi and less Lost In Translation moping around with muted dialog and lots of shots of girls hands and feet, and gentle caressing and "we are the most unique and affected couple in the world" sentimentality. This kind of thing makes me want to burn down churches and bath my self in the blood of infants while feasting on the entrails of a freshly killed stag after pillaging a village. I read a review a few days ago of this film and it stated that "Shane Carruth has broken an unspoken contract between filmmakers and audiences that says watching movies should never require you to think, work or do any of the heavy lifting." While I generally agree with this in regards to his plots and the level of depth he put in to Primer (and possibly even this film, though this review is very off the cuff as I am still mulling over the details ), this movie feels like it is fucking oozing with that smug satisfaction, but it still feels absurdly emotionally stunted. Like how I was emotionally stunted when I WAS A FUCKING TEENAGER. Dunno, think Shane needs to stop listening to drone music for a little bit. P.S All of that said, I could very well end up coming back to this one and liking it just as much as I liked Primer..but then again, 2004 was a long time ago and that headspace is a myth, I think. *shot pans over hands and feet as the glide across a mattress, soft lighting fills the room, wind chimes in the background, maybe some ambient gamelan music too. who knows. a tear slips out of Reid's eye as he remembers the past, or is it really the future?*
