Explain.
Ha, I've tried to watch it two or three times several years ago, but always when I was tired so I just fell asleep during the first 15 minutes. I have a hard time finding the time to watch a 2+ hour movie. Too many video games to play.
Did you enjoy it, though? Was it worth the effort to finally watch it?
Yeah, it was great. I just need to be in the proper mind space to watch that kind of film, to really appreciate it.

For sure. It's not a "background" kinda movie. No one wants to watch There Will Be Blood while cleaning the house and doing the laundry.

I'm trying to get better. I watched the Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford earlier in the week. Another one I missed years ago.

I still haven't seen that one. I want to. I've heard such good things. But even the title wears me out.

You should have just played games for three hours instead.

Those two scenes are basically the same one.
:?: I meant in the sense that multiple characters get hurt really badly and instead of glossing over it or having some sort of healing device, they just had to go to the hospital. I found it very satisfying.

Lego Batman. Not bad, some good jokes and lots of pop culture references. Like the first half or so better but it moves quickly throughout. The animation has some cool moments too; probably would have pretty good 3D in the theaters.

Saw Baby Driver last night. I really liked it. It got a little slow right before the ending, but still good. Really liked Hamm in it

I really enjoyed this movie. I also enjoyed Baby Driver. It was an interesting spin on the movie format. John Hamm is great in anything he signs up for. My only gripe with it was:

Vantage Point - gets a bit derailed by the end, but up till then it's pretty great

"American Fable". Strange and often beautiful, but never quite gets to where it's going.

"The Exorcist" still love it. One of ten or so actually scary movies.

This is an instance in which I agree with using the comma. It's all about clarity, my friends.
