nah, have to disagree. thought it was a great film. some spectacular sections and the music's done pretty cleverly too.

It was the narrative that bothered me.

Bjork: Seems like there's nothing for me to do but accept this terrible fate that life has in store for me. There is literally no possible alternative.

Viewer: What. Are. You. Talking. About. You have several options, any one of which could resolve this completely improbable situation.

Bjork: Like I said, no alternative.

Viewer: GAHH!

Let us know what the extras/booklet are like when it arrives.

I plan on getting it (and Salesman) in a few weeks.

McCabe and Mrs Miller. So obvious that Beatty hasn't got a fucking hope, so obvious that the kid isn't going to be able to walk away from the gunfight. 2 hours of inevitability.

 

[Bellatrix]

2 hours of inevitability.

2 hours of wonderful, snowy, smoky inevitability.

With a soundtrack that should have jarred but inexplicably doesn't.

Sob!

All movies should feature a lonely, quiet death in a snowdrift. So much love for julie christie, too.

Fantastic movie.
Amazing soundtrack.

really i thought it was shite.purposely made to shock, no likeable characters, not that realistic.spot on about the soundtrack though

 

[BC]

i must agree with hermie, i thought "kids" was extremely dull.

Yeah, 'Kids' is utter wank.
'McCabe and Mrs. Miller' is great. He got that yellowish colour from the cinematographer's jumper!
'Funny Games' is one of the few films to shock me to my core.
