It’s pretty great, just terribly sad.

I love Collateral. Another great Tom Cruise performance.

Watched Hustle. Formulaic but enjoyable. I thought the training montage was really well done

Very 70s in its filming, performances, storytelling. Some logic leaps in there for sure, but I really enjoy watching the plot fold back on itself several times over, and Liotta, Stallone, and DeNiro are all awesome; Keitel seems to be on autopilot.

Re: What movies are you watching?
It had a good point that made sense to me. When he had cancer, he realized what he actually wanted from his life (the lady), but it was too late. When he realized he was cancer free and it actually wasn't too late, he had a renewed zest, vigor, and he pursued the lady, only to realize it was actually too little, too late anyway. Kinda poetic and sad. But then he realized he still had people in his life he could have healthy relationships with, and began to pursue this actual reality. Happy ending.

Re: What movies are you watching?
Well, the movie is called "funny people", so I guess it had plenty intention to explore what it's like to be a comedian with comedian friends. I get why you weren't interested, but I also get why it's interesting to some, as it was interesting to me that one time.
