Revolutionary Road

[PenFoe]

Anyone see this?

I just did...kinda liked it.

Sam Mendes of American Beauty fame directed it.

Michael Shannon was pretty solid in a cameo, good work by DiCaprio...

Summary: Was planning on probably hating it, didn't.

Sam Mendes of American Beauty pounding Kate Winslet's merkin fame directed it.

She may remember him from such merkin-poundings as: last night's dinner'd

Netflix sent it to me last week and I haven't watched it yet, mainly because everybody tells me how depressing it is. 

Will I at least get ample chances to rub one out to Winslet, or do I have to rent The Reader again?

Nothing does it for me like an illiterate Nazi turned train conductor.  Who knew?

Get The Reader.  Unless you're turned on by bloody vaginas.  So I guess just watch it then.

This movie is how I imagine Pen's marriage to be.

If you want a reminder of how much the suburbs suck, watch this movie.

Although I enjoyed it on balance, this seemed like more of a play than a movie. In the blowout scenes with Dicaprio and Winslet, I was too aware of the fact that I was watching VERY SKILLED ACTORS act out COMPLEX EMOTIONS, rather than the usual suspension of disbelief when you watch a talkie. Seemed more like a vehicle for showy performances than a movie. Does that make any sense? Probably not.

Actually it does. That worries me.

I don't normally like romantic comedies, but this one wasn't bad. Sam Mendes isn't a big fan of the suburbs it seems, after american beauty and this.

Fortunately, I didn't go see this when it would have cost me $8.  I turned my TV off after 15 minutes of DiCaprio and Winslett shrieking at each other.

[Powdered Toast Man]

I watched it this weekend on HBO.  Cripes, what a depressing movie.  Who hates the suburbs that much?  I'm sure all the EMOTION was true because DiCaprio and Winslet and this producer fuck all have had the experience of living day-to-day, paycheck-to-paycheck like the rest of us COMMON FOLK.  Other than that, the acting was fine as usual from the two leads.  Also, the guy who played the crazy neighbor dude was awesome.
