Funny People was great. Sad, but great. I really liked it.

that looks fucked up! i wanna see it.

wonderfully shot. loved it, except that the frequent appearance of "hollywood stars" made it hard to get immersed in the movie. "oh, there's that guy who played a psycho killer" "oh, there's the guy with the addiction problems" "oh, there's that scientologist"

i still think bresson was right about the use of non-actors.

The best movie based on a Stephen King novel I've seen .

Yeah, it's a great movie ! I would say my favorite movie based on a Stephen King novel is Misery.

I liked it way more than I thought I would.

Today and yesterday I watched The Bed You Sleep In (again), Rocky II (it was on TV and I always find them funny), Pierrot Le Fou, Period Piece and Touch Me In The Morning

YES!

Derek's digesting the classics!

Oh, I'm sorry Dr. Eugene.

Never been too big of a fan of Zedd.

Yeah, like Rocky II!!!!!!!

Death Race > First Blood > Rocky

I'm taking a breather right now. I enjoy his use of exaggerated artificial stage design, illustrated establishing shots, costumes, cheap FX, and the opening credits looked really cool. But the camera work is nauseating at times. I'm sure that's a purposeful thing, and seems to be intended to add a realist contrast to the asinine absurdity of the piece but....damn it's a chugger.

The sets were the only thing I liked. Find his stuff really boring. If it matters, you watched his best film, of the 7 or 8 I've seen.

Anyway..

take consolation in the fact that as bad as rocky ii was, it was not as bad as rocky iv.

The Rocky films are good for comical value, Sylvester Stallone has the same tone and emotion throughout the whole movie, hilarious!

didn't compare to the book.

I quite enjoyed it.
