Chuck Klosterman wrote about it in his new book, which is part of it, I think. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 10:06 8
- This was my tipping point. I've been meaning to watch it for a while. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 10:08 7
  - Oh. And if you liked that, have you seen Moon? Not exactly the same, but similar low fi sci fi. -- nm - Dano Jan 14, 10:09 4
    - i liked the idea, actors + setting in that one. i did not love the screenplay...nm - x Jan 14, 10:17 2
      - I kept expecting it to become grander. It's a very good episode of the Twilight Zone, though. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 10:19 1
        
        yeah, agreed. i liked it, i just think it doesn't go much of anywhere after a while.....nm - x Jan 14, 10:22
    - I have not, but if I can find it online a la Primer, I definitely will. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 10:12
  - So now I see. In musubi's world Klosterman is greater than Dano. - Dano Jan 14, 10:08 1
    - Well, he did play football, a real sport.... (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 10:10
I just keep hearing you all talk about it so now I'll watch it. Never heard of it before -- nm - oblique Jan 14, 10:06 10

  - Word of warning, I can totally see some people absolutely hating the movie. - musubi Jan 14, 10:12 8
    - are *not* those people. What the f*** is with my brain? - musubi Jan 14, 10:15
    - i didn't hate it. i just didn't find the plot compelling enough to try and figure out wtf happened -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 14, 10:14 2
      - At about the twenty minute mark, I was still in "ok, i'm waiting for it...." mode. i figured it got better. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 10:15 1
        
        I can totally understand that. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 10:17
    - Now I'm curious what criteria you are making that determination by. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 10:14 1
      - Well, beyond my brain fart, I think it takes a certain ammount of willingness to accept the slow pace at the start of the film. - musubi Jan 14, 10:20
    - Are you calling TFox and kilbo stupid? -- nm - Dano Jan 14, 10:13 1
      - Well, I wasn't intending to in that particular post, if that what you're asking. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 10:16
