Meh... by Tourist	Jan 11th, 2008 01:11:33 AM
...Not nearly as good as the other poster with the fractured image thats going around.
Yawn... by Horace Cox	Jan 11th, 2008 01:19:03 AM
If it's 80 minutes long, probably 78 of those minutes will be people just walking around.
This is a great film... by Gwai Lo	Jan 11th, 2008 01:19:48 AM
Although this poster doesn't really convey that. I hate the whole emo thing, that's not what this film is about. It's an absorbing murder mystery.
How Draining Is This One? by georges garvaren	Jan 11th, 2008 01:33:10 AM
Should I be prepared for lots of "thinking" about "life" and "stuff" after the credits are done? If so that's cool, I will simply sneak a few bevy's in my fanny-pack. So, now that Doyle has worked with Van Sant does this mean that Jean-Yves Escoffier will work with Wong Kar-Wai!? Oh, that's right, he's dead. Shame.
gus sure loves the boys.. by ironic_name	Jan 11th, 2008 01:42:16 AM

AN OCTOPUS DOESNT CALL HIS DICK A NINTH ARM by BonerDonor	Jan 11th, 2008 01:46:50 AM
SOON BITCH...SOON....
I hated Last Days by GenPion	Jan 11th, 2008 03:09:34 AM
Is this supposed to be a return to form? Gus Van Sant is always seen as a brilliant director by me with one project, and then he somehow manages to go astray. Elephant was amazing... Last Days was, in my opinion, a bore. I hope this one is better.
I also disliked Last Days by Gwai Lo	Jan 11th, 2008 03:50:19 AM
While I enjoyed Elephant. I think Paranoid Park is better than both of those films. Not that dogphart's comment even really needs to be addressed, but there isn't any gay themes or subtext in this movie. The protagonist is fairly disinterested when he loses his virginity to his girlfriend, but it's because he's brooding about something else. Gabe Nevins is a good looking kid and the movie is shot beautifully, but if you read something gay into that then figure it out for yourself.

I like this better than I like ELEPHANT, LAST DAYS, or GERRY, but I think it's sort of like what happens if you add them all up and then Gus strips that technique he's been working on right down to the bone. I can tell he shot a much longer version of this film, and then cut it tighter, so you get that dreamy Chris Doyle camerawork of (yes, Horace, it's true) people walking, but there's a pulse to it that there hasn't been in the other films I mentioned. It just... works in this one. It really does.
gus van sant by Zozma	Jan 11th, 2008 07:29:42 AM
and his fucking empty movies. cant hold out hope for this one, though elephant was better a second viewing. to me at least
he should just fight dragons and stop directing by ironic_name	Jan 11th, 2008 08:45:11 AM

I saw this last night by thetwat	Jan 11th, 2008 08:47:24 AM
in the UK. It's fantastic, just a great film about a boy with something on his mind.
