Who had the memory of the kindly dinosaur? It was utterly self indulgent crap!
I'm not really that fired up, but it felt like a movie made not to communicate but to show everyone how smart the person making/watching/acting/etc is.
My take on those scenes was him both asking and answering in his mind "Where did I come from/what's the meaning of life?"
I'll agree some of it was look-at-me cinematography (kind of like all the Star Wars prequels that existed purely to show off special effects and completely murdered what was at one time the greatest story ever told in film). More of a private work of art thing.
Going back in the thread, I liked Moneyball but the book was more compelling and gave a much stronger sense of the dynamic consequences of financial considerations on the sport. I thought Pitt was fine in it; there wasn't much else to do with that role.
Saw "The Thing" which is a prequel to John Carpenter's 1984 version. I liked it overall although the devices used to build tension were more or less typical. Still, I feel that Carpenter's version is superior, particularly in respect to effects. The computer generated effects felt computer generated and didn't really feels as creepy as they were in Carpenter's version.
If you haven't seen Winter's Bone yet, I'd recommend it. I'm surprised I watched it because it's pretty damned slow, but oddly compelling despite that fact. Be forewarned, while not explicit it's still pretty damned dark.
Recently saw the documentary Burzynski. Haven't had a chance to do any research but holy crap if it's remotely true my distrust of the government just deepened ten fold. We should be throwing millions of dollars at this doctor and his research. He is closer to curing cancer than anyone else.

Watched Safe House last night. It was an enjoyable flick, I always like Denzel in these types of roles, when he's a badass, like in Man on Fire and Training Day. Ryan Reynolds did a good job as well I feel like he's come a long way from Van Wilder and Waiting.
Watched Shawshank again last night.. That movie never gets old.
F#*K OHIO!!!
You're not only an amazingly beautiful man, but you're the greatest football mind to ever exist. <-- Jeffy Shittypants actually posted this. I knew he was in love with me.
I watched Kalifornia today and I'll be damned if it wasn't a good movie. Brad Pitt is a great actor. He and Juliett Lewis played their parts really well.
