Enjoyed this one a lot. Great story by John LeCarre.

The last film of Hoffman's released during his lifetime. They probably didn't want him to look well in the film...and he did not look well.

Rachel McAdams was really good as the human rights attorney...and she looked so good.

I'm watching "The Hatfields and the McCoys" on netflix.

Kind of reminds me of this forum.

A little silly in places but very entertaining. Only an hour and a half long.

And then...it's Scarlett...



We also watched another Scarlett film, "Under The Skin" a few weeks back. Introspective, "arthouse" type film. It was, IMO, the better film.

And...even more of Scarlett.

Allright...it received very positive reviews, in some cases critical acclaim:



And it's by Cronenberg...ya pretty much can't beat that.

So we borrowed it from the library, stuck it in the blue-ray and settled in for a few hours of brilliant entertainment. After a half-hour we started jumping tracks to see if it might possibly get any better, and finally watched the last, apparently magnificent scene with Pattinson and a wacky Paul Giamatti. Eh.

I didn't give a shit what happened to this dick after the first couple of scenes. Maybe the book was good.

Exactly my feeling. I couldn't watch it either.

I can't help but enjoy The Naked Lunch, probably because I think Judy Davis and Peter Weller are great in it but, otherwise, I don't have much use for Cronenberg.
