Did anyone(plus me) see Closer?

[Byzantine Prince]

Wow to anyone who saw it, just wow. What an amazing movie. I loved ever minute. Did any of you guys enjoy it as much as I did?

[Byzantine Prince]

So no one saw this movie?!?!?


I'm sure some of you at least heard of it.

I'm not at all familiar.

What's it about?

[Byzantine Prince]

It's about relationships but with huge twists.

Closer (2004) (http://imdb.com/title/tt0376541/)

Ah, it hasn't been released in the UK yet. Still I'm always on the look out for good films, I'll remember the recommendation.

I want to see it, along with about ten other films, but this larvae-creature my wife and I produced keeps getting in the way. Looks like a great film.

I just can't bear to be the jerk in the theater with the screaming kid. Can't do it. I've hated screaming babies in movies since I was about five, and I can't inflict that on others while living with myself. Meanwhile, the wife is still too possessive to even discuss a sitter.

Things will change in time. Do let us all know how brilliant the movie was. I'll be waiting for the DVD.

You really shouldn't bring the baby to this movie anyways. I know it doesn't understand much but it woudl still be highly inapproprate seeing as how the movie is very explicit in language and subject matter.

It's excellent movie. My favorite this year. It's adapted from a play so it has heavy dialogue. If you don't like art films and prefer action movies you probably shouldn't see this or you're gonna get pissed off and walk out. I know that a lot of poeple did.

Well, of course I wasn't planning on taking a 15-month-old to a film about sex. That would be a little outre, even for this lemur.

I remember some months ago, I wanted to re-watch the original "Dawn of the Dead," but I was stuck with baby-watching for the day. I rigged up a blanket so that he couldn't see the screen, and while I played with him, I watched the exploding zombies over the blanket. Worked pretty well. Eventually his naptime came and I was able to finish it off on my PC.

I don't want to expose him to anything more alarming than the Grimm fairy tales for a while. Those are disturbing enough. Actually, maybe those are too scary. The real ending of Cinderella is pretty NC-17, what with the chopped feet, plucked-out eyes and hot-iron boot torture.

As far as "art" films go, hey, I'm usually the one bringing home stuff with subtitles over my wife's objections. I've even managed to get her to enjoy Kurosawa, despite her allergy to foreign movies. Don't mind heavy dialogue one bit, so long as it's really well done.

Loved the director's (much) earlier "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", and am sort of hoping "Closer" will live up to that.
