Big farce. :)<br /><br />WiseMona: You are indeed Wise, the truth is I can't unequivocally rave about this one - too many flaws - but I *did* like it. "Eternal Sunshine..." *That* I can rave about. :)<br /><br />Jim: I'm sure you've seen one or other of the Director's Cuts of BR. It's so much more intelligent without the narration BUT I watch them with the knowledge of the narration now so did I need it or did I not? It's a puzzle.<br /><br />I think the fourth wall can be broken harmlessly enough in comedy. But the more serious the intent of the film, the more damage can be done. My opinion.<br /><br />Itchy!! I don't believe that 'conversations' shizz for one cotton-pickin minute - you 'epitomy-of-metro-gal' you. :)<br /><br />Lozzie: I agree. Come back after you've seen it. We can fight about it. :)Ken Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775956557261111127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496460488742488789.post-34564918004348684612010-04-05T11:25:59.959+01:002010-04-05T11:25:59.959+01:00I want to read this entry but, as I haven't se...I want to read this entry but, as I haven't seen the movie yet (in spite of continued banging on about said film by one William Gallagher, Esquire!) so I don't want to spoil my own still relatively unadulterated opinion of it.Laura Cousinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18156390166547567951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496460488742488789.post-10734242499231709912010-04-05T09:33:29.404+01:002010-04-05T09:33:29.404+01:00Hahahahaah

In fact when it’s not there you feel like there’s something missing. It’s like a photo of a beautiful sunset without the trash lying all around. We’re so used to the trash we don’t notice it and yet when it’s gone the setting feels not quite right. All I have to say is, “Thank God they didn’t feel a voiceover was necessary on <i>Alien</i>.<br /><br />None of which really has anything to do with the film under review but nothing I’ve read about it has really excited me. I’m not even that fussed if I see Jean-Pierre Jeunet’a latest film; the reviews are decidedly mixed besides I’m still not sure I’ve recovered from <i>Alien Resurrection</i>. Seriously how could the combination of Joss Wheedon and Jean-Pierre Jeunet not work? (Sorry, drifting off-topic again.)<br /><br />As for the fourth wall, when done with class it can be wonderful. I’ve just written a review of <i>Puckoon</i>, the novel although I do mention the film. I can’t think of many books where the fourth wall is so magnificently kicked down and stomped upon. The film overdoes it slightly. The fact that a film could use the device only once and get it wrong intrigues me but not enough to sit through the whole thing to see if I agree.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496460488742488789.post-67531998337047299782010-04-04T22:27:15.095+01:002010-04-04T22:27:15.095+01:00Hmmm, I may investigate it, but I cannot say you m...Hmmm, I may investigate it, but I cannot say you made me want to run right out there and rent it.WiseMónahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12560896411311415348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6496460488742488789.post-809984310849432902010-04-04T21:27:14.947+01:002010-04-04T21:27:14.947+01:00Ha ha, don't hide.
