I don't get the lack of love this movie received.

I remember watching this awhile back. I enjoyed it, too.

Superior to the one posted above in a way.
Charlie Kaufman's scenarios are masterpieces. Not his best, but still a Kaufman level. Michel Gondry and Kaufman work wonders together, plus Spike Jonze seems to be on the production team, not to forget the great cast. I love Patricia Arquette! ... and Tim Robbins of course.

What a Fuk'd up film! I was expecting something messed up, but never this much lol. Another great watch.

I didn't like Antichrist. It was too gory for me to try to understand any subliminal messages.

I didn't think it was "gory". There was maybe 2 little scenes, but I wouldn't consider the film gory. I have to say though there was definitely some Saw moments lol.

I'm always really, REALLY wary of Von Trier films but I'm really kind of curious about that one.

Anyway:

I've had this for a while but not watched it because it's kind of rare that I'm in the mood a glacially paced, 2 hr 40 min western. But I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. The major criticism I've heard of it is that it feels muddy because it's sort of unclear why Bob shot Jessie, but I like that about it--the two men had a complex and contradictory relationship and both Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck did really well characterising that. The music was great, there are a bunch of great bit parts/cameos (Mary Louise Parker, Zooey Deschanel, Nick Cave, Sam Shepard). It is really slow, especially through the middle, but it's always gorgeous to watch--the cinematography is like watching paintings move.

All in all, well done.

'The Penis Scene' is the name of my new band.

ooh! i love PTA and haven't seen this.

I think you're right...they all can seem a bit long actually. And I also liked Holy Grail more than Life of Brian, but really they all have some classic lines that just stick in your brain.
