Yeah. Were you like me and did you root for the killer all throughout the movie until they raped and murdered that couple? It was at that point I was, "Wow. Why did this entertain me all movie?"

I kinda think that was the point they were trying to make with this movie...

As anyone can tell from looking at my favorites list, I'm a huge Kubrick fan, and as a fan of his, I still hold a grudge against Spielberg for forcing Kubrick to can his Holocaust film. Kubrick was starting principal photography and location scouting for a planned film called The Aryan Papers, and at the same time, Spielberg was starting filming on Schindler's List, prompting Kubrick to yield to Spielberg.

I like Schindler's List, but I think Kubrick deciding not to make The Aryan Papers is one of the greatest losses to film.

The coin scene made me act like Javier did for a couple days. Well in my head at least.

Oh and Casey Affleck is complete trash. Get his ass outta there!

*Looks at your avatar* OH MY GOD.

Then how is it a copycat? Of course it has a similar style and feel if it's the same director.

Shhhh....he's the only one I know.

BTW You're all clear w/ me on those movies, but Godfather 3? Really? Full ****l Jacket is awesome. I love Vincent DiOnofrio.

Hmm, so basically you aren't interested in peoples opinions if they differ from yours.
