My wife appreciated Uncut Gems, but found it nearly unbearable to watch, cause she doesn't like to be made to feel that kind of anxiety. Is this the reason you think it's also your nightmare, Joe?

People are talking about movies they've actually seen and you need to chime in with your opinion on the trailers? Is your post count that important to you?
You're right. I'm sorry, Argo. I'll go watch West Side Story again.

The subject matter of both movies is life under capitalism.

I'm sure that's a theme that resonates with you but I wonder how many other people pull that.

i'm not sure they're really that 'high-concept', mickey.. i think they're more simple character studies of low-life scumbags.. i appreciate them more for their aesthetic and acting than any theme

I do like Punch Drunk Love a lot. But that has little to do with Sandler. Also, I'm guessing his character in PDL if wildly different from the one in Uncut Gems.

But really I shouldn't be talking about this. I haven't even seen the movie and I don't want to piss off Argo.

this is similar in that the filmmaking heavily dictates his performance... this is definitely not a happy madison production

Both movies are exceptionally clear about the worlds their characters live in as long as you're not an absolute dipshit. The opening shot of Uncut Gems is the interior of a diamond mine that morphs into the lead character's diseased intestines.

I was hoping you hadn't seen my post. I dinner partied it almost immediately after making it, because I don't want to start a fight with you. I like you, I am sorry

I took that more as he was possessed by greed... it's a statement about the character and not necessarily his world... but, chicken or the egg i guess
