It's Great!



Caught True Grit over the weekend. It has Oscar written all over it.

I can't wait to see this.

Eric said...

It's TWON (3D) for me tonight. Hopefully Grit to follow soon.

Matt said...

We saw it too. Did you know that the girl has never acted before?

Dave said...

I saw The Fighter. Fantastic. Christian Bale = Oscar Bait. Throw one in for Melissa Leo as the White Trashiest White Trash performance of All Time.

Lots of grownup movies I need to see ...

Eric, what did you think of TRON?

Eric said...

Thank God for them TRONS.
Gotta get me some isomorph.
Dave's fantasy team sucks balls. [note: has nothing to do with Tron, technically, but I just wanted to say that].
The moviefilm had enough atmosphere to keep me occupied with cool eye candy, whatever else was going on. I'm a sucker for the modern age of cinematography that began with Bladerunner... loved Dark City, etc.
I dug the bikes, the grid, the outer-grid and even the young guy's apartment in this one.
I think I probably went in with just the right type of expectations - i.e. was not hoping for Mamet/Tarantino-level dialogue or cathartic epiphany - just wanted something Tronny and I got it.

Glad to hear it. I was very pleasantly surprised, too.

Blade Runner is one of my all-time favorite movies, by the way. I probably watch it once a year, at least.

Eric said...

The local arty theater here will get Bladerunner up on the big screen every so often.. much to my pleasure.

Jay, you like Blade Runner? Huh. Never knew.
