Ever watch this movie? Your thoughts?
I think I remember seeing it and I didn't like it. I don't remember anything about it though. The name just sounds familiar.
Did you see it? Who stars in it?
I hated it. I thought it was boring. And I disliked it so much I can't even remember much about it.
I hate Tom Cruise so anything he's in sucks for me.
Ok, now I remember. Yeah, it sucked big time!
I didn't realize it was a porno.
It was suppose to be some big artistic breakthrough. Tasteful yet sexy. Whatever. It sucked big time.
Yeah, it's close enough to it.
I think the worst part for me was that it was incredably BORING!
I didn't make it through either. I will give Kidman credit though, as I've never been a fan of hers, in that she looks a hell of a lot better naked than I ever imagined.
That movie actually got pretty good reviews.
I remember thinking it was kind of slow and drawn out, but I didn't dislike it. Wouldn't jump all over watching it again though.
What a nice ass. Kidman's isn't bad, either.
Great movie (8 out of 10).
I'm not going to sit here and write a review, but suffice for now I think it's actually underrated.
Kubrick is truly one the great directors of all time. Not to disrespect any members, but if you can't see his genius, I'd blame you, not him.
I agree, Nietzsche -- Kubrick's lesser efforts, that is in comparison to his finest films, are better than the best nearly any other director can offer. After seeing EWS four or five times I absorbed the mechanics of the theme and the film is more profound than just looking at the surface. This is what Kubrick is all about -- he doesn't serve everything up on a silver platter to be understood by the average moviegoer. If someone is unwilling to penetrate the surface and can't approach approach his films wih an open mind, they will have lost a great deal from their movie watching experience. The recent film "Closer" covers some of the same territory and not surprisingly in some of the same storytelling techniques of Kubrick (and it's Mike Nichols, yet!). He's one of the most influencial directors of all time, right up there with Kurosawa, Altman and Welles.
