Indeed. Movie 43 always looked awful to me.

American Hustle

Loved this in the cinema ten years ago, so this will be interesting.

I just started Side Effects because it's the only remotely interesting thing I could find to watch on Netflix. Credits rolled and now I realize it's directed by Steven Soderbergh :gomez:

Something tells me at least this won't be the same style of movie as the Oceans.. so I'm going to give it a chance

So far I admire his restraint. But the story is kinda lame.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

you're just angry at David O' cause he could go from an insane marvel like Huckabees to a generic Scorcese-PTAnderson mutt without so much as a shred of shame

I rewatched it a couple of months ago. Yeah, a lot of great moments in this movie, a lot about it to enjoy. Fun how we got that and Wolf of Wall Street, two very excessive and thematically linked movies, in the same year

Pretty much my thoughts. Maybe a 7.5/10. Tells a story.

With garish colors, delightfully chintzy production design, great performances, great music, some really chaotic script choices. It's a good time

So what did ya'll think of Joy, then? And Silver Linings Playbook? I think my favorite O. Russell joints are The Fighter and Huckabees

I skipped Joy. I remember strongly disliking Silver Linings Playbook but would be interested in rewatching it

SLP was not good and the casting of that didnt make sense for me. Joy was also not good. Barely ok i would say. I loooove The Fighter. Havent seen Huckabees.

I also haven't seen Joy or 3 Kings. The Fighter was quite good, my only criticism being that I'd rather have someone better in place of that Wahlberg clown. The only movie I've liked him in was Boogie Nights, and I loved him in that. Oh, he's in Huckabees too but it's such a weird movie it doesn't matter.
