Hey guys, sorry I've been a total bust lately. The workload is a bit insane right now... but here I am procrastinating on the 12 page paper I have due tomorrow by posting. What can you do? :)
Anyway, I am totally lost on the mumblecore thing. I haven't seen any of the films you've talked about besides The Exploding Girl anyway, so I can't really contribute anything at all. I have Cold Weather in my queue though.
I've actually watched a few movies over the past 2 weeks or so... sadly none of the ones you guys have been discussing:
-I saw Meet Joe Black last night, finally. And cried through the ending. I really like it though, loved the camerawork and the script... and Anthony Hopkins, of course. Brad Pitt also gave a fantastic performance I thought... I really believed he was a different character when he was supposed to be. Anyway, classic romance despite the stretch of a plotline... sad and long, but good. I liked it.
-I started watching The Green Lantern and turned it off. I don't know, I couldn't get into it.
-I also saw Crazy, Stupid Love. I don't know if anyone mentioned having seen it. It was good - your boy Ryan gave a great performance. I love Steve Carell in these kinds of movies, and I'm also a Julianne Moore fan. I expected it to be pretty bad, but it ended up actually being kind of touching and pretty funny in my opinion.
-I finally saw Midnight in Paris!! I don't really know what to think about it. There was a lot I appreciated, and I thought the concept was really cool. But when it ended I was just kind of like... hmm, ok. I didn't really have the problems with it that some of you did (god that feels like forever ago, I don't even remember who said what) about like the literary references and the types and all that, I was on board with what he was doing... but I just kind of felt blah about the whole thing in general, and the ending left me unsatisfied. Oh well. Every Woody Allen movie can't be Manhattan, right?
Miss you all - I promise I'll write more!
