I saw the trailer with Bruce. All I needed.

Actually, I hated the MI movie. I liked the “let’s just go crazy and see what happens, just keep running” bit, but it screwed with the MI heritage so much that I was sorely displeased. If it were some generic spy flick, though, I probably would have liked it more. Expectations are tough things, but you’ve gotta expect that when you’re using an existing IP. *shrug*

I think I’d like Looper’s basic story concepts, but I don’t watch R-rated movies. From what I’ve heard of it, though, it’s very well done, and I applaud more smart sci-fi in the mix.

Damn phone comments >< as I was saying, I don't really like Georgia O'Keeffe paintings, but that kind of zoomed-in approach can be very powerful when all the details are just right. If you haven't seen it, watch Brick.

LOVE Brick. Fantastic little movie. By little I mean it sets boundaries and stays within them; a few characters, a few days, one story. I wish more movies were as focused and restrained. I don’t really like her

If JGL left any sort of impression on you, go try and find a copy/stream of “Brick”. It’s also by Rian Johnson, stars JGL, and is an exceptional noir film. It’s one where you have to have the volume cranked up (and/or subtitles on) to be sure you don’t miss any dialogue though. There’s a lot of wit and a lot of nuance packed into it, and, as you mentioned, doesn’t bother to stop and bring you up to speed until the end, for the classic noir “telling the tale” segment.

Have to agree. I got much more than I expected. I would hazard to say one of the best films of the year. Definitely got my moneys worth and glad I saw it on the big screen instead of waiting for wide home release.

sounds cool.
I heard the sequel to Red is called Rosa. It stands for Really Old Spies and Assassins ;P
