@ Le0: Thanks Buddy.
@ Mad...@ Budd: Very much so.<br /><br />@ Le0: Thanks Buddy.<br /><br />@ Mad Hatter: Ouch I guess no one can claim you don't put your money where your mouth is. That could definitely explain Polley's involment. I really hope the director gets to make High Rise. The world needs more Ballard adaptations. <br /><br />I completely agree with you on the shareholder's meeting. Best scene in the film and the one that put me solidly in the film's favor. <br /><br />@ 9 Fingered Menace: : /<br /><br />@ Goodkind: I think you'll find it pretty far up your alley. <br /><br />@ Tom: I too had the film spoiled for me. And it's was funny because I watched it with a group of friends and it more or less became a running gag of "Is this the scene where he's gonna fuck her?" <br /><br />At the same time I think knowing it in advance gave it a better chance to work, as seeing it without prior knowledge would make it look as though it was coming WAY out of left field.Bryce Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040954580033470664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-5504694354851195842011-04-26T17:58:22.708-07:002011-04-26T17:58:22.708-07:00I was pretty "meh" about this film overa...I was pretty "meh" about this film overall, mostly because I had it spoiled for me ahead of time, which I think seriously lessened it's impact.<br /><br />That said, I do think it's worth seeing. And it does features one of the most brilliantly uncomfortable scenes in a movie in a long time, when Brody's character is dancing with Dren.

It really made me squirm throughout, on several levels. Out of curiosity, has anyone else noticed how much Dren looks like an angel the more prominant her mutations become?
