Resurrecting the Movies thread...

Today I saw Haneke's FUNNY GAMES. It really is a shot for shot remake of his 1997 German film, it was almost like watching the same film. All the performances are excellent, Michael Pitt was perfectly cast as the more talkative of the two psychos, I was really impressed. I found the psychological violence just as disturbing, so much so that I actually felt sick to my stomach after it ended. I must be a sucker for punishment, lol! The film is definitely not for everyone.

And here I thought I was alone on that opinion. :D
Jennifer Lopez. I dunno why but just seeing her in movies just unnerves me.

Your probably right Oilgun. The trailer for FUNNY GAMES was painful to watch in more ways then one. It seemed so long for one thing. I might go see IN BRUGES tomorrow.

I can hardly stand to read the REVIEWS for Funny Games. Seriously, the only way you'd get me to see it is wearing a strait-jacket, with my eyelids close-pinned open.
I'd sooner see a heartwarming family drama with Mel Gibson as the antisemitic dad, Diane Keaton as the obnoxious matriarch, and the Olsen twins as the strung-out daughters.
:laugh:
