Re: What movies are you watching?
Parts of it, sure. But I don’t think it was going for 100% comedic effect most of the time. So it’s kind of irrelevant really. I think ultimately it achieves what it wants to, it’s just not all that interesting or deeptragabigzanda wrote:Did you find this movie particularly funny?

Any Given Sunday
I remember loving this when I was younger... There are some really cool moments, but I find the style nearly unbearable. Too much shaky cam, too many quick camera movements. Just seems unnecessary. I also found Natural Born Killers similarly unbearable recently. Not much of an Olister Svone fan I guess.

Any Given Sunday is terrible. I'm not sure if I ever saw Natural Born Killers. If I did, it didn't leave a big impression on me either way. But fuck Any Given Sunday!
