Looks good to me!

Re: Funny Games

They've sold me on a quirky killer in a madcap almost satire of a thriller, and if I don't get precisely that, I'll be disappointed, is all I'm saying.

I guess you'll be disappointed then, since the reviews coming back are saying this is incredibly brutal.

Re: Funny Games

My main concern is that the trailer is overselling its comedy and undertoning its darker themes, while the actual movie might be the opposite and we've just seen everything quirky about this thriller in a 2 minute 17 second (!) trailer. Which would be sad and a waste of my money.

Here I thought that the 2:17 represented the total time for the movie.

Re: Funny Games

Which still isn't that damn long.

Re: Funny Games

For a thriller/suspense movie it is. Stretch everything out to salt-water taffy thin porportions.

Haven't you learned anything from Death Proof?

Re: Funny Games

That trailer wasn't the least bit enjoyable.

If they're trying to make the audience feel annoyingly uncomfortable then well done! I don't want that.

Re: Funny Games

The point of movies isn't always to entertain. I can understand and appreciate that. I'm looking forward to the moral hellhole of this movie. :3~~~

That's all fine and well. Brutal is great in a movie like this, but I've been sold less on that and more on Michael Pitt acting curious and insane, and if he doesn't do enough of that in the movie, I won't be too thrilled with it.

Hey, have you ever seen Palindromes?

Re: Funny Games

I read the synopsis on Wikipedia. Eh, I might see it on DVD...

Re: Funny Games

Is this that movie that happened already?

But it didn't happen with Naomi Watts. x3

And Highwind, I haven't seen that, but I've seen Welcome to the Dollhouse.

Re: Funny Games

I've argued with Mora about this movie enough already.

My thoughts? I find it reprehensible, and I would never in a million years go to see it. I think it's sick, sadistic and it turns my stomach.
