Just seen it on BBC2 for the first time.

Hella weird film.

Kinda disturbing, in an odd sort of way. Gonna have to buy it I think and watch it again - try and make sense of it.

I don't see what all the hype was about. It wasn't such a great film - it oscillated between high school thriller and weird trippy sci-fi and didn't really do either very well. The ending is also a complete mess. Anyone can cut together random scenes of dead characters looking bewildered/content to confuse the audience.

Also the plot wasn't explained enough to make me care about it. The information that you get about what's going on falls just below that critical point of interest peaking.

So yeah, I probably won't watch it again.

Aye, Point Break is a gooden. I actually enjoyed watching Gary Busey for once.

Jesus. Is it hard to breathe with your head stuck so far up your ass? "As a lover of movies". ffs.

Are you going to tell me I "didn't get" Lost In Translation too?

Aye, so therefore he should be a year older. He looks far, far older than that. Weirdly so.

That Shiznit review sucked. It may as well have been talking about some bog crap like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

He was probably somewhere thinking about how hard life is.

He looks older because he's meant to be. It's explained in the film how he was held back a grade or so.
