Did you watch the post-credits scene?

Holy. Shit. Released almost exactly 15 years to the day, this is the best film I've seen since Fight Club. It was a revelation. Completely brilliant. The performance of Keaton's career. Norton hasn't been this good in a decade. Just fucking marvelous. I want to see it again and again. Truly, literally, awesome.

Wow.

I fully expect to dislike this.

I'll be shocked if you don't. But I think you'll appreciate at least a few aspects, like the tone/feel/atmosphere of the thing.

Is this movie the story of the guy who Ed jammed with back in florida in 2000?

I feel like the camera work will end up pissing me off.

The camera work is one of its major strengths.

I'm so there dude. This guy is a great director but I've been waiting for him to loosen up a bit and this seems like it did the trick.

Oh man oh man. You're gonna crap yourself. If you don't love this movie, I'll be shocked. Please give us your thoughts once you've seen it.

I want to see this too. It seems DCT is the only one on this board who's seen this movie. Is it just a limited release or lack of interest here?

It's a limited release right now. It's not playing by me yet.

But even when it does, ehhhhh...

My attitude just reflects my interest level based on what I know about the movie, Innaritu, and my own taste. But, of course, I will watch it with the same even-handedness I go into every movie with.

There he is! Good man.

I've only seen 21 Grams and Babel, which I adored and really liked (respectively). I gather you're not a fan of his other work?

I've seen Babel and Biutiful (He did that, right?), neither of which I liked.

Amores Perros is good. I agree with Orpheus that it's about time he unclenched a little.
