The terrible corny jokes, the cued laughter, the dog barking. You just simultaneously laughed and cringed, which of course is a Solondz specialty. It was surreal, like "Laugh at the freaks, but don't." Solondz has to be doing something right to provoke such a response in his viewers.Professor Filmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06812173209470754022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524334772494648795.post-74749633071179066792009-06-07T12:24:24.042-05:002009-06-07T12:24:24.042-05:00Those damn Sunshine Kids, man.

The whole Jesus boy band routine was funny as hell. I didn't know if I was supposed to laugh or kill myself.<br /><br />I agree about Ben Button, never really thought of it that way.<br /><br />"Let the Right One In" is a little overrated, until that ending, which kind of tricks you into remembering the whole thing more fondly. I was a little bored during the middle section.Warped Coastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297499412024653042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524334772494648795.post-47340760053505346052009-06-07T02:33:10.552-05:002009-06-07T02:33:10.552-05:00I completely agree with your thoughts on "SLC...I completely agree with your thoughts on "SLC Punk." I saw that movie in theaters when I was 18 and didn't believe a word of it then. The entire movie seemed to be made by someone who didn't understand the punk culture, or understood it only through its mainstream portrayals. Weak.<br />The problem with "Benjamin Button" is that it never tackled the intriguing central premise: What would it be like to live your life backwards? Imagine looking like you're 80 and experiencing first love. How would society treat you? What effect would it have on you psychologically? David Fincher doesn't seem to care. You could take away the central gimmick and it would have no effect on the film. It never becomes a plot point until the very end, and even then it's touched up in the most facile way. <br />I think "Let the Right One In" is a tad overrated, the atmosphere is a little too austere and suffocating, but certain scenes work brilliantly, and there's no denying that ending. <br />"Palindromes." I love it for the scenes involving The Sunshine Kids, what can I say? They're so twisted.Professor Filmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06812173209470754022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524334772494648795.post-79969233614405678622009-06-05T09:21:18.599-05:002009-06-05T09:21:18.599-05:00what did you think of "The Curious Case of Be...what did you think of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"?<br /><br />Have you seen "Let the Right One In" yet?Warped Coastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297499412024653042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524334772494648795.post-66529174077431319992009-06-04T23:23:13.728-05:002009-06-04T23:23:13.728-05:00I'm pretty sure I don't remember most of S...I'm pretty sure I don't remember most of SLC Punk, but that's because I did see it in 9th grade or so, like you said.
