Am I the only one who saw Youth Without Youth?
Will anyone else even get a chance to?
That sucks.

Muldfeld said:The prostitute scene was unnecessarily sensationalistic, too, and the generosity Viggo showed her after the emotionless screw was something I'd already read almost a decade ago with more believability from a piece of X-Files fan fiction, in which a horny Mulder has sex with a prostitute that looks like Scully (even calling her Scully) before coldly giving her the plentiful amount of money he had in his wallet which would allow her to not work for a month.
Muldfeld said:[...]it felt like a Republican propaganda film with mostly good old southern boys and dangerous Hispanics.
It's true. I read that years ago; it was meant to be funny.elevated_u2_fan said:
dude... what?
You know what? That hurts and it's not fair. If you disagree, just say so and why, but don't partake in this incredibly juvenile bullying that's so popular around here. Do you really think it makes you cool to treat people like that? Are you a Dalton wannabe?Lancemc said:Is it just me, or does it seem like some of the "crazy" has started to spill over from all the other parts of the forum into the Lemonade Stand?
Well, no. That wouldn't be dangerous; just illegal. It's an odd film because the white southerners are kind of caricatures, but they're positive ones. You don't really get a sense of what drives them; they felt mostly like self-consciously quaint people, much like the mid-Westerners in "Fargo".BonoManiac said:
I haven't seen the film yet, so please clarify. Are these Hispanics dangerous because they pretend to be married when they're actually living together?
Thanks in advance.
Muldfeld said:I never say, "Youth Without Youth" because I kept reading and seeing that it was bad; did you like it?
"The Savages" had some very dramatically realistic relationships, and I particularly identified with the Laura Liney character. Much better than the director's previous effort "The Squid and the Whale", which felt gross (smearing semen on books), and forced into making the dad almost a caricature in his self-absorption, though I detected hints of my older brother in him.

From what I saw I'd go with Ocean's 13, 300 and Bobby.

Yes, I loved it. It's really out there, most of the film comes off like a fever dream, but it's very original.
For the record, you have your directors mixed up. The Savages was written and directed by Tamara Jenkins, who hasn't made a film in almost 10 years, the last being Slums of Beverly Hills (with Natasha Lyonne & Alan Arkin). The Squid & The Whale was written and directed by Noah Baumbach, whose new film last year was Margot At The Wedding (with Nicole Kidman & Jennifer Jason Leigh). I haven't seen either film so I can't comment on either.
You should definitely post a ballot for the Interference Movie Awards at some point, even if people are disagreeing with some of your opinions on these films.
I had a feeling Bobby would be bad; I just can't take Emilio Estevez seriously enough to think he's not going to make some typical Kennedy myth type film. I'm still curious, though.monkeyskin said:Out of interest what would people rank as the worst of 2007?
