    @Canuck12:

    You saw the theatrical release where the studio edited out most of the sex, eh? Yeah that would be a bummer.

    Nope.  The movie ratings system in Quebec is less puritanical than in some other places.  The version which got an R in the US (after being cut down from NC-17) was released here as a mere 14+.  It didn’t even rate a 16+ or an 18+.  But my point wasn’t that the sex was absent, my point was that it was boring and pretentious.

    I also live in Quebec (get together for a game sometime?)

    But the R rating is not the one you want, its the NC-17 or unrated. (I’m not sure.)

    I guess if you found it boring that’s okay. Kubric isn’t for everyone. (I found Space Odyssey to be mind-numbing) But I really dug the Shining and EWS. It just hits home on so many human emotions.

    Yeah, most movies these days move quicker. But I have a little place in my heart for directors like Scorcesse or Kubric or Coppola That take a little more time with the scenes and let the actors do the storytelling rather than the director. It’s a character drama and some people just don’t dig character dramas.

    (Seems like Tarantino is the only one who gets credit for taking his time with scenes these days, I guess because all his characters are 1 dimensional and therefore easier to “get.”)

    Just saw “21” not reviewed very well. Not inventive film-making but a pretty entertaining story. Also, somewhat true.


  • Rock of Ages & 21 Jump Street & Stargate

    Stargate seconded. Definitely underrated.
