Four or five years later and I'm still not sure if I like Rules of Attraction.
I thought it sucked balls, personally. Who's the one on the top left in the Star-Trek poster? |

Sweet, the worlds first 12 day long movie. 11 of which are spent on Namek, of course. I sure that if you cut out the every half hour recaps of the plot up to that point you could probably cut the whole thing down to 90 minutes (75 on Namek) though. |

Love the Rules of Attraction. Definitely better than other "college period" movies in any recent time imo.

I do. Seth's been getting more and more and more stoned since he's started to hit his stride. Isn't the rule that shit that's funny when you're stoned just makes you say "what the fuck?" when sober? I'd expect his film to be the same.
Fuck, I even heard an interview where they decided to just let Franco ad lib some because the scene wasn't working. Franco doesn't strike me as a 'funnyman' so.. yeah. If his shit was funnier than the script, I'd be wary.

Certainly he's a better actor than Seth Rogen. |

Actor != comedian.
No matter how many of both try the other.

I don't think that's necessarily the case. Comedy is just the hardest type of acting, not something seperate. Take some of the better dramatic actors out there, and they're still really capable of it. Gary Oldman can be quite funny, Robert Downey Jr, Johnny Depp, Christopher Walken, Alec Baldwin, George Clooney, etc..
Not to say that Franco is a good comedian. I don't know. He knows how to play angry/demented well, but honestly, I don't enough else about him.

I'm not saying it's exclusive, folks. I'm saying that because you're good at one you're not neccesarily good at the other.
Was Chris Farley a good actor? Do you think Olivier would kill at the Appolo?

Yes, yes I do. But that's mostly because he's dead so if he was there today, it'd be because he's a zombie and hungry for flesh. |

In Bruges, not so hot. Very slow start, limited action and a relatively good ending in a depressing sort of way. The cinematography was good and the city itself was a nice background.
Charlie Bartlett, awful. Acting was atrocious and the plot was not funny.

I loved In Bruges. Colin Farrell can act, so long as he's not trying to fake an American accent.

Don't even get me started on the disaster that is Hugh Laurie. I mean he was okay playing second fiddle to Stephen Fry but now he's just embarrassing himself.  |

Went and saw Pineapple Express yesterday, thought it was pretty damn funny. Stupid, over the top, but still funny, like monty python meets abbot and costello.

I thought it was worth seeing but was uneven. Some very funny stuff in there, but the ending was a bit over the top without being referential enough to justify it (i.e. Hot Fuzz which they were obviously trying to copy).

I'm highly skeptical of anyone doing that right, but the trailer looks okay.

Sure this got discussed elsewhere last year when it premiered at some film festival or other ( Toronto perhaps Seattle). It's not actually Cthulhu, it's another version of The Shadow over Innsmouth but the twist being that they're not fishmen but gay (or something). The reviews ranged from "Shit" to "calling it shit is disrespectful to fecal matter". EDIT: It had it's very own thread. |
