Apart from maybe a couple of minutes of the ape scenes, I've never found any of the "non-action" scenes superfluous or boring. They actually added to the strange, mesmeric beauty of this movie. I can believe that. I think I was probably too young when I saw the movie to be honest, and...

So, sorry to bump a dead thread, but I might be able to answer one or two of these questions, seeing as how I... uh... made this. Haha! First of all, thanks so much for watching guys! I'm genuinely super stoked that so many of you enjoyed it. We all thought it was a huge flop when it came out, s...

Yeah, I think it's probably more playful than people are assuming. Soderbergh has been a very meta and experimental artist in the past (see: Schizopolis, Bubble), and is someone with very little sense of sanctity in filmmaking (famously throwing away celluloid at the first chance he ...

Well, I'm interested for sure. Downloading it now. EDIT AFTER WATCHING: Okay, as an experiment, I think this is actually really interesting. It might be my acclimating to the idea of it over time, but I certainly enjoyed the second half more. Personal taste is a factor as well, of course, but I ...

I really liked the Silent Hill movie. The visuals are superb, it's exactly how the town of Silent Hill and its monsters should look like. Set design, monster design, props, all that is good. I actually agree on this completely. I always wished that the script lived up to the stellar design work...

I think Gendo'sPapa nailed it. We tend to "obsess" more when we're younger and have less time when we're older. There are videogames that I poured weeks of my life into when in middle school that I revisit now and spend about an hour playing. Rewatching movies is a weird one, a...

The Bond films that I grew up with were the Brosnan ones. ... Looking back on the films from the Brosnan era with the hindsight I have now, with the exception of GoldenEye , they're probably the worst films handed to any Bond actor and the ones I rewatch the absolute least. Couldn't agree m...

Remember the old Scot in the later half of the film? That part could have been Connery's, but the makers realized it would be too distracting. Heh, somehow the lack of Connery in the Obviously-Supposed-to-be-Connery role made it even more distracting to me. Maybe it's my personal taste, but...

I kept hearing that there was this show that "goes really good for a while, but then it gets weird." And I'm always down for weird.

I bought the Platinum Collection sight unseen. I was 16 I think.
