This movie is fucking incredible. Absolutely goddamn amazing.

I saw requiem for a dream years ago and loved it, so when I heard about this movie I got pretty excited. It came out a few weeks ago but hasn't really gotten much attention. It's still out around here, so you should check if it's playing near you and if it is, go see it.

I saw the movie with my girlfriend and a good friend of mine. When it ended we all kinda sat there in silence for a minute. The first thing my girlfriend said was that she didn't really get it, that there were things she expected to come together that never really did. My friend then said that he really, really liked it.

And I think we all felt both of those things quite a bit. This movie doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's still an amazing experience. I still can't really explain what it's about, and I wouldn't really care to try. It just is.

So, I highly recommend that you all go see it. I'm going to see it again tonight, and I'm hella buying it whenever it comes out on dvd.


Has anyone else here seen it already? Thoughts?

I have no idea what the movie is like but fuck me, I didn't know Clint Mansell wrote film scores!

For those of you that don't know, Clint was the lead singer of an absolutely brilliant band from the 90's called Pop Will Eat Itself. These boys weren't quite right in the head, but songs like Def Con 1 and Can U Dig It? - now THAT was sampling with class and aplomb.

...everybody's happy now, everybody's singing, everybody's happy now, we're bulletproof...

Mansell's first name inherently makes him awesome. In addition, I do like some of the movie scores I've heard from him. I'll have to look into this band you're talking about.
