I was referring to the movie Far From Heaven.

I am counting the seconds until I can see this movie. If it's even close to the short story, it will be wonderful.

I just remembered the other movie that I want to see that comes out on Dec. 2nd., besides the snowboarding one - First Descent -

Aeon Flux!
I hope it doesn't suck.
Sharon? Does it suck?

I saw the trailer when I saw "Derailed" and it looked...um...blah. On the upside, though, the cartoon just came out on DVD today.

That is good. Do you know if it's just what was available before, or if it's more? Nevermind, I'll check.
The commercials look okay, though - and what's weird is her voice sounds like Aeon's from the animation...
I dunno, it might not be super great, but it looks like if it's even kinda good that I'll definitely want to see it in the theater. There should be tons of cool stunts and weird future world things....
I swear, in the next few weeks I could easily spend obscene amounts of money going to movies. I'll definitely have to eschew movie snacks.
I mean, I really don't want to see First Descent, Aeon Flux, or Narnia on a small screen...

And I'm not familiar with Far From Heaven, but I doubt it had as much hype as this movie does which led to less people knowing what it was about and the content.
I've seen it, it's a love story with some very honest sex scenes, the director didn't intend it as a "gay movie" (whatever it is, it's a silly definition for me) but as a universal reflection on a very deep relationship. The fact the leading characters are both men is it really that important?

I will be there to see it, many times, I suspect. I think those radio commentators are idiots. Either that or they live in the hinterlands or the 60's. I wish someone would flip me some **** after the movie. I would love to kick someone's ass.

Two friends have seen Geisha and said it is fantastic. I am going to a screening next Tueday.

I saw Match Point a few weeks ago and enjoyed it quite a bit.

Jonathyn Rhys-Meyers was, in my opinion, not very good...I couldn't tell if that was what he was going for with the character, but he just seemed kind of awkward and uncomfortable. But his character was too...I don't know. It just didn't seem natural to me.

He's quite fun to look at though.

I've been waiting for this film for a while.
If it doesnt live up to the hype, that's cool. I want my "gay $" to go towards box office of what I consider to be an important film.

I'm not a fan of Rhys-Meyer to begin with, so I wasn't expecting anything worthwhile from him. I'm mostly excited to see it because it's a big departure from anything Woody has done. Glad to hear it was good!
