Gone Girl was compelling to say the least. Boyhood and Gone Girl are the only movies I suggest everyone watch this year. Guardians of the Galaxy falls in a close third.

Still looking forward to seeing Birdman too. Which I've heard is amazing.

Military would have been better money and health/dental care, and would have paid for a 4-year degree or for me to go to Scottsdale Culinary Institute instead.

That is good to hear!

Thanks.

Considering just what you posted here you've got something good going working food.

Me = pretty much the guy in Smiley's avatar.

I have no idea what I'm doing with my life atm.

I still have a lot to learn. Commercial cooking is different, as well.

Fincher always delivers (in my opinion) outstanding movies.

After seeing Gone Girl and really liking it, I started thinking about his other movies that I had seen either Opening Day or Opening Weekend and then a thought hit me: "Is he now my favorite director?"

Gone Girl
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
The Social Network
Zodiac (one of my ALL TIME favorites! This was so good!)

Are just his most recent 4 that I had seen either Opening Day or Opening weekend, and I've loved each of them. His teaming with Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor (Trent of Nine Inch Nails fame) for the most recent 3 (Social Network, Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, and Gone Girl) for the Musical Score has been nothing short of amazing as well.

Fincher is so meticulous, and I do believe that when his career is over he'll be looked at as one of the better filmmakers of this or any generation.

I have ZERO responsibilities for the next month. Someone give me some things to put on my to do list.

Would you somehow have 100,000 a year to spend on Harvard just from studying?

Thanks for writing that up, very interesting. I don't watch a lot of movies but I think I'll have to see Gone Girl. I liked Social a Network a lot.

Smiley, I liked Boyhood too and is one of the few movies I've seen this year. It just drove me crazy there wasn't a plot.

Prim, that's great to hear about your culinary school.

Argh, I've lost weight since I weighed myself last. Not good.

You're right. I hadn't even made the connection between all those movies. The only one I haven't seen is Zodiac so I guess I have to put it on a short list.

Boyhood was a hell of a ride for me. I basically got to relive my entire childhood. Even with no "plot" it resonated with me. Life doesn't have a plot so why should a movie about growing up have one?


Just got back from my first day on the slopes. Forgot how much I missed skiing.

 

[tigervixxxen]

I'm not saying Boyhood should have been this contrived storyline but they dropped a bunch of things from early in the movie. The mom's divorce, his relationship with his father, what happened to the step siblings? And then when he became a teenager I kept waiting for anything to happen, anything. Of course the message of the movie should be the main focus but it could have been better with just a little more attention to detail. If they had used a snippet in the kid's real life once a year I actually bet that would have been pretty interesting.

 

[The Shermanator]

Boyhood was great.

Life doesn't always have a plot so who cares if the movie did or not.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Because truth is stranger than fiction, then I'll just watch a documentary. I'm not saying it was bad, I enjoyed the movie. I'm just saying it could have been better.

Banff is cool. Did a hockey camp there in middle school. Really want to go back and ski around BC.

Fincher is awesome. Maybe the best. And I LOVE the fact that Trent "NIN" Reznor is now his go-to musical score guy.

Soderberg and Linklater are always fun to watch since they always seem to be trying to reinvent themselves.

Some directors I love but wish they'd go "small" again are Peter Jackson and Christopher Nolan. Both are falling a little too in love with spectacle. Spectacle ain't all that...Michael Bay is nothing but.

Eyy D2M, did my PSN message ever went through?

Now that I watched the game with y'all against St. Louis I am no longer tired.
