Isn't it amazing that some people love that movie and find it hysterically funny?

Actually, it has quite a few funny elements (especially the last scene), but I was too disgusted to find the funny parts funny. I'm sure that if you see the movie from a different angle, it can be funny in a very cynical kind of way.

So I'm not sure if I want to see this ...

TeeJay · 16 Dec 09 :: 18:42

All I can tell you that with knowing that happened in Happiness, I can imagine Life During Wartime will be a lot more intersting, especially with having in mind that Chris plays Billy.

Well, maybe I'll buy it if I should find the DVD for just a few bucks. But currently it's too expensive for me to buy. cdwow doesn't even have it and some seller at amazon wants seven bucks. Too expensive.

EOcean214 · 18 Dec 09 :: 22:53

Is this movie out? I haven't been able to find it... Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 19 Dec 09 :: 00:22

Life During Wartime is not out and no one knows anything about when it will be, as far as I know. TeeJay was talking about the movie, Happiness. That one came out about 10 years ago. LDW is a sequel of sorts. It actually has characters from a few other Todd Solondz movies too, like Welcome To The Dollhouse, Strorytelling & Pallindromes --- all played by new actors.

Wait a minute, I have to watch those movies too??

TheCentralScrutinizer · 19 Dec 09 :: 02:59

Only if you actually care about all those other storylines. I don't. I only really care about the Bill/Billy storyline. I have no desire to explore the entire Solondz oeuvre.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 19 Dec 09 :: 03:42

PS: LDW has been picked up for UK distribution by Artificial Eye. No release date set yet, and no word on any other countries. You know, there's 2 things I'm getting kinda sick of... 1) tracking indies for years with very little news trickling out, 2) Chris not working. That shit needs to change.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 19 Dec 09 :: 06:22

I hope Life During Wartime comes out soon. I want to see it so bad.

domesticelefant · 19 Dec 09 :: 11:53

I've seen Palindromes some years ago and I totally did not like it. Not sure if I want to invest time to watch it again. Maybe I'll just wait if Chris's scene from LDW will show up on Youtube or something like that.

TeeJay · 19 Dec 09 :: 13:16

Uhm, the scene should show up on this website before it shows up on YouTube. Unless it's on YouTube before the DVD comes out...

-TeeJay

domesticelefant · 19 Dec 09 :: 15:03

That's why I said "Something like that" at the end.

TeeJay · 19 Dec 09 :: 15:20

Ah, okay. I didn't know that we're something like YouTube...

-TeeJay

domesticelefant · 19 Dec 09 :: 16:49

Well, you could say the media section is some sort of Youtube, couldn't you. A Youtube just for Chris. LOL

Thanks for the info... I imagine it will be dark as Welcome to the Dollhouse was. I haven't seen the others but I enjoyed that one!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Dec 09 :: 03:53

I've read some reviews and yeah, it's typically dark Solondz.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 21 Jan 10 :: 07:07

LDW is picked up by IFC!!!

Limited theatrical release Summer 2010...

I want to see Life During Wartime so much. I love Chris in independent films.

Exciting news. I agree, I prefer Chris in the independent roles too! I've already saved this one to my netflix que when it ever relases on dvd!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 19 Feb 10 :: 17:26

Nice new review that singles out the Bill/Billy scene as the "dark heart of the film". And we may have a release date... 4/23/10. I'll wait for confirmation on that before I get too excited. We still don't know if it'll play in theaters or on the IFC cable channel. Or if it does play in theaters, how limited the run will be.

Very cool to see some recognition of the big scene we're all waiting for though.

EOcean214 · 21 Feb 10 :: 20:57

Definately cool about the recognition. I wonder if it will just be released in Europe in April - it had french subtitles in the interview. Can't wait to see it though!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 22 Feb 10 :: 00:55

It had French subtitles in the Interview because it was done at Cannes, last May. It's actually LESS likely that it will see a theatrical release in Europe than in the states. My bet is that they'll open it in NY & LA and then roll it out on IFC cable, like they did with American Gun.

TeeJay · 22 Feb 10 :: 09:54

Happiness was never even released on DVD in Germany, so I can't really see LDW opening in theaters here...

Makes sense.. That's better news, even though there is still a wait.
