I just noticed I never listened to the commentary. Looks like I know what I'm going to do next weekend.

Have you listened to the commentary Deb? Jason says very nice things about working with Chris and how dedicated he is in his approach to acting.

Welcome to the older than dirt club.

He impresses me too. I mean, how often do you get to interview your favorite young actor and have him actually turn out to be fascinating and soulful and sweet and charming and just everything you could hope he might be? He's real. He looks you right in the eye. I see a depth there and I just want to keep peeling back the layers, you know. He's capable of so much more than he's been challenged with so far...

Well, now I have to see this one next. I'm actually borrowing if from my public library. It sounds like something I'll really enjoy. I'm still working my way through his movies and so far I enjoy the more serious ones. While that may be because I'm older than dirt, I'd like to think it's also because he's just such a fabulous actor. I've listened to some of his interviews and I have to say that his approach to his work and life are impressive to me.

On a related topic, and just to prove that older people can retain their sense of humor, I watched "Zombieland" this weekend and had a great time. Jessie is another great actor.

It gets deeper and deeper the more times you see it. And it was incorrectly named. It's The Education of Mick. It's really his story. Bonus that I love Danny, so proud of Chris's work in this. Sebastian Stan is a trip and Eva Murri is amazing. It just reveals itself more and more to me every time I see it. Alex Nepomniaschy's cinematography is stunning. Be sure you never watch it fullscreen. It deserves widescreen. And Chris is cut out of a lot of shots in the pan & scan version. Pay close attention to the dialogue, it's very important and the actors are serious about it. It's not just a "period" movie, it's a very old-fashioned movie. Set in the 80's, but evocative of the 50's and 60's. It's small, but epic in its feel and its themes. I just adore it.

I actually did too Deb! I haven't watched it that many times but the first time within the first 10 minutes I stopped watching it. Then I thought, well all the actors I like are in it so its gotta get better so I gave it a second chance. I changed my rating on netflix from two stars to four stars once I saw the entire movie. Its definately one that you have to sit the entire thing through to enjoy the thoroughness of it in my opinion.

Bumped into TEOCB again on cable just now. Got sucked in. God, I've probably seen this movie at least 10 times by now. Anyone else love it as much as me?

We probably have this one, but I don't remember it...

I just watched Fred's other movie, The Longshots. It was pretty good. Nowhere near as good as TEOCB, in my opinion. But I was entertained and it had its heart in the right place. Fred did a good job with his actors and the cinematography by Conrad W. Hall was excellent. It was very pretty to look at. The script was a little weak though. Still, I'm a sucker for sports movies. And I just really love that Fred Durst and Ice Cube made a movie together. Cube produced it too. Just don't remind me it's in any way TWC-related and I'm happy.

It's an awesome movie! I bought it on dvd as soon as it came out!

I agree. I was always excited about seeing it because Chris spoke so highly of it. And I love it. Ritter really stole the show.

I loved this movie. I started it a week ago and didn't finish it. I just wasn't ready to sit down and watch it. I gave it a second chance and am so glad I did! What a wonderful script and great acting. Of course I love Chris's part, but how amazing were jason ritter and jesse eisenberg! Everyone should watch it! really interesting movie.

I was flipping channels and found Charlie Banks on Showtime Showcase just now. So I guess everyone who has that channel should watch out for it to show up there.
