I reported it, but it's still there. Maybe I'll just move it to the main site, although there's no forum for discussion. And I'm mixed on Twitter. Damn you internets and spammers!
It's even MORE lightweight than L'Iceberg and runs thin at ~70 minutes. Once the filmmaking trio figure out how to make a movie that doesn't end in some weak cutesy manner like a kids book they are very capable of crafting something praiseworthy (though I doubt they can ever approach the Chaplin-Keaton-Tati tier).
The structure is out-of-whack: constant flashbacks that keep flip-flopping time - it just can't seem to build up momentum. Also Gilroy's too aloof for cat-and-mouse espionage.
I despise almost everything Charlie Kaufman's made so far, so when people are saying this movie is him being "indulgent" I not only wince but shudder at the thought.

I haven't seen it yet, but that is some delicious heresy. ;D
Tarantino makes that 'documentary.' He's so energetic, I just want to see and feel what he sees and feels.
I'm so glad you agree with me on Lake Tahoe. I loved Duck Season, but it might be a fluke.
Yes! The Raiders have two votes! :D
I think I laughed half-heartedly ONCE. I don't even remember at what.
It grows in the mind. And it's so ... disarming, I didn't know what to make of it at first!
Hmmm ... I'll get my tech department to look into it. ;-)

Somebody had to do it! No ... really.

His best since Fingers, I guess. It's been a while.
You're in good company and almost everyone likes it. I just ... I dunno, so much of it left me cold. I can't even say I was ever on the fence.
Muriel Moment: the slow-motion fight between TW and PG. Second most awesome credit sequence of the year (so far).

I can't believe some people are saying it's better than Nightmare Before Christmas.
DNF. (23 Jan) Still Life (2008, Jia Zhang-ke) {That's it: I officially do not get the cult of Jia.}
I feel that way about Hong and Hou.
That said, did you watch Dong?

I'm predicting a D/D+ for me. We'll see.
