Saw Burn After Reading last night. It was really good. Not see it twice in the theater good, but pretty damn good. I laughed my ass off but can’t think of any particularly funny lines or gags. The comedy was all character driven.[/quote]
Agreed. There was just a lot of absurd stuff in it (the chair) but it was hilarious. The ending just had me rolling.
[quote]Watched GlenGarry Glen Ross this morning. It was ok, based on a play. I’m not a big fan of plays and not a big fan of movies based on plays. There’s a reason why they are seperate mediums. It wasn’t a waste of my time, but if you’re interested, just watch this:

Did you watch it after I posted that clip in the Intense Movies thread?
I loved the movie though. I just though it had great performances across the board.

Yes, and unlike most funny movies you couldn’t describe a scene or a joke to someone who hadn’t seen it yet and make it seem funny, you just have to go see it.
No, I got it from Netflix weeks ago, and it’s been sitting on my shelf. I avoided watching the clip you posted because I figured I’d get around to it eventually and I didn’t want to ruin anything. It was a damn good scene.
The problem with plays are they are 90% talk, and movies aren’t about talk, they’re about action. Not Bruce Willis and shit exploding action, but you should be able to watch a good movie with the sound off and figure out what’s going on. Plays are about people sitting around a room having long conversations.

That’s a good point. I do know a lot of people that hated that movie with the complaint that it was boring and all they did was sit around and talk. I liked it as a nice change of pace, but I can imagine that had I seen the movie when I was in a different mood, I might have not liked it so much. I also didn’t know it was based on play when I originally saw it.
Since I’ve gotten Netflix, I’ve been going through and getting old stuff I’ve never seen and with that comes a lot of Hitchcock. So, far I’ve really liked every Hitchcock movie.
I also just saw The Incredible Hulk which was definitely an improvement over the one from 2003, but still far from great.

See I don’t mind dialogue movies, and I thought Glengarry Glenross was great…really great. Plus, I’m in sales… and it’s true…coffee’s for closers.
I heard about it somewhere else so I don’t know much about it. Basically it’s about some girl, perhaps a runaway. She meets some old couple driving around a RV or something. They convince, or force, her into becoming a prostitute.

That’s all I really know. Any ideas anyone?[/quote]

Judging by your pearly whites you don’t drink much coffee. J/K!
Does anyone know of a movie website where you can enter in bits and pieces of the plot and find out what the hell it was?
I just try searching online when I have pieces of info and I try to find out what movie they belonged to.
You could just give this thread a try. There are a lot of movie buffs here.[/quote]
Go to IMDB and click on “more” beside the search function at the top, when the next page comes up, click “power search” in the column on the right. It’s a good search engine, has found a lot of titles I was looking for with just random bits of information.
