@ Matt: I h... @ Le0 well great minds and all that. <br /><br />@ Matt: I had a very similar exprience at The Drafthouse, sold out shows for weeks, who knows what the hell happened. I think seeing it in 70 really made the difference, that movie took me close to full sensory overload. <br /><br />@ Spencer: Ah just take the kids, I'm sure they'd love Killer Joe. <br /><br />@ Emily: Fun fact your review of The Grey was one of my favorites.

I thought it was less than the sum of its parts, though I remain very glad I saw it. I like your "hell" comment; my own thoughts were that the film is structured in a sort of "one step forward, two steps back" way... which is appropriate for the story of an addict trying, failing, and trying again to find meaning/clean himself up.<br /><br />Digression: I saw The Master in 70mm at an independent theater, a restored movie palace with a really strong community identity. Every showing for the first several days sold out, and the line for ticket holders to get in the door stretched several hundred feet. So often art house films gather far fewer viewers than they deserve, but it warmed my heart to see this film become such an *event,* at least in Brookline, MA. I still can't believe the film only made $14 million.Matt Keeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06879233228833576188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-50839747198829664132013-01-21T17:59:18.170-08:002013-01-21T17:59:18.170-08:00Many are my faves for 2012 are on your list, Bryce...Many are my faves for 2012 are on your list, Bryce.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.com
