    Um...don't do drugs.

    That was a strange but very well done movie. The use of repetition, the gradual changes made to each character as they move along their downward spirals, and a lot of interesting camera work. Ellen Burstyn did a fantastic job.
    That use of repetition was sort of accidentally developed while Darren Aronofsky was working on Pi, since his budget was only ~$60,000 of loans and money borrowed from friends/family. Somethings along the lines of not having enough film to go back and reshoot certain transitions.

    A lovely quote from Mgoblog on the movie (from a post about the Regional of Death in 2006, no less):

    The ultimate accomplishment of Requiem -- other than making me fear those who voluntarily purchase the DVD -- was to divorce the noun "Jennifer Connelly" and verb phrase "rocking a double headed dildo" from the exclamation "I'm there with bells on!"

      We watched Body of Lies last evening. It wasn't too bad, although a bit of a stretch in some instances. I doubt any CIA officer worth his shiat would be allowed to exchange himself for some love interest. I liked Russell Crowe's character, as he reminds me of some of the consummate bureaucrats and politicos in the national security apparatus.

          This doesn't really fall into the movie category, but thanks to an iPod and a long drive this weekend, I got to see "An Evening With Kevin Smith." Hil-*ing-arious.

          Highly recommend it to any fans of the movies/him/etc. Lots of good stories/ramblings.

                IIRC, there was Cornell, Toronto, London, and Kent State (and a couple others).

                  Ah, then I was at that. He actually did a fake exit at the end of the filming and then came back out and answered questions until people didn't have any. We left around midnight but I heard it went until 2-ish.

                    Possibly the greatest movie of all time. It's a short trailer and you won't be disappointed if you watch until the end:

                      Saw this for "Bad Movie Night". It was awesome. In addition to Lorenzo Lamas and Deborah (not "Debbie" anymore) Gibson starring, the budget was so low that there are actually still frames inserted into the movie.

                        Saw Invictus yesterday.

                        Morgan Freeman did an outstanding job playing Mendella.

                        I wish they would have described the game of Rugby a little bit more as I only have a vague understanding of the game.

                        However, for watching a sports movie about a game I didn't know much about. It was still very good.
