Why has no-one mentioned Brazil? Truly brilliant film. 

two posts above yours. admittedly he typoed but it was sandwiched right between gilliam and twelve monkeys so i can't imagine what else he was referring to :P 

I should stop speed reading :(

Altho in fairness, he may have been refering to Barzilla, the alcoholic city destroying monster. 

The only mention of Falling Down I see here is delightfully cynical and very accurate by Shambler, so let this post be a recommendation to watch it. I never expected it to be this moving. imdb is full of spoilers, don't read that. Just check if the poster seems promising to you and maybe prepare for a bit of sadness too. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eREiQhBDIk is a good incentive. 

It's quite touching. Also, cynical and very accurate.

Sorry for not making a more meaningful post but I just wanted to emphasize Spirit's recommendation. :( 

for the first time, funny that. meant to mention it. very enjoyable, pretty much for the reasons stated 

It is a top class film.

Unlike Skyline, which is bollox. Mildly entertaining in places but surprisingly low-budget-looking for a blockbuster. The shot of them waiting in the flat and the coherence of the main dude's fate being the decent bits. 

I forgot to mention that I started watching Give 'em hell, Malone yesterday and only endured that awful smut for 15 minutes. 

definitely has a plot and almost all the shit that seems random ties into it. The explanations are just scattered around in time.
I didn't get it until someone explained it to me immediately after the theater. Everything clicked into place perfectly!

That later overlong disjointed movie, inland empire, went over my head even worse than mulholland drive. I haven't heard anyone cracking it yet, and the way it was made, I wonder if he was just winging it... 

I like it, and feel like there is a stronger sense of cohesion than it's typically given credit for. Generally though I think it is a sort of thematic cohesion though, instead of being cohesive re narrative. I think, in fact, that if you look at a number of Lynch movies there is a thematic idea of disjuncitons of personalities, and the shattering of social illusions. Blue Velvet for example tinkered with both - the decay and ugliness that can exist right under the surface of the american dream - it's a typical trope, but done better than usual.
It's been a while since I saw mulholland but I believe it's similar.
Still though, touches of randomness and tangential stuff to effect mood. I love the part with the dumpster monster, that really stuck with me.

blablabla 

Doesn't make it a good film tho.

Despicable Me (2010)

Great feel good animation movie about a super villian and some girls. Steve Carell does the main character. Skip Up and watch this. 

Really not a fan of Steve Carell getting all these comedy roles, he just isn't good enough.

Compare Jim Carey's character to Steve Carell's character in Horton Hears a Who.... there's no contest, Jim steals the show and Steve is just annoying.

Get Smart, Date Night, 40 year Old Virgin - all would have been better with someone a little funnier and less annoying. 

 

But he flails his arms around and makes silly faces! Clearly comic genius. 

but Jim Carrey at least has Eternal Sunshine to his name. 

+ steve carrell was hilarious in anchorman. LOUD NOISES!

speaking of funny actors though... leslie nielsen. RIP :/ 

rj Surely you must be joking! 

and don't call me shirley!

and almost on topic:

has this been around forever and I just found out? Anyways, I love this. 

not sure what to make of it. weird, but not headfuck weird.. just a little bizarre. still watchable though and quite intriguing, i think the soundtrack made it.

also watched identity and the number 23. identity had a cool concept but i'd have preferred it if they didn't dump it on the viewer 2/3 of the way through as a 'twist' - made it feel cheap and ill-explored as a result. the ending was just a bit silly too.

23 wasn't much better either... again interesting, but all the 23 stuff seemed kinda irrelevant once the true story was revealed, at which point it just got a bit boring & tenuous, with a few annoying red herrings.

also, can't wait for this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS4Mrct-_mk 8) 

wached synecdoche new york. or rather, attempted to watch it... i got 45 mins through it and couldn't be arsed finishing it. it's all focused on one guy whose life is going downhill and at no point did i give a shit about him whatsoever. just boring with nothing going for it
