Yeah, that one was very good.

And you actually watched Twilight? Lol.

Let The Right One In is the original. The American remake is called Let Me In.

Originally posted by Ygrene I once saw Swamper peel off 4 or 5 $100 bills from a fat roll and say this to Donald Trump: "Go clean yourself up; you look like a bum.". And then he threw the bills right in Trump's face/hair! Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut. To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

I thought Let Me In was actually a decent remake.


The trailer for the remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo looks solid too. I was skeptical at first, but now I'm looking forward to it.

Pariah



highly recommended. this could be a dark horse for some awards. A lot better than Precious

Wait, there's Carey Mulligan in Shame? Brilliant, one more reason to watch this (as if McQueen and Fassbender weren't enough).

Also, the new Marilyn Monroe movie with Michelle Williams looks pretty great.

Wow, Shame looks great.

Leopold, how do you get the heads up on so many flicks?

Originally posted by LeopoldStotch Melancholia saw this earlier, and i got to say. a very beautiful film. i can see where the controversy is, and unfortunately yes this movie, like the tree of life, is not for everyone.

I really want to see this.

Shame, Steve McQueen's acclaimed New York drama starring Michael Fassbender, has been issued with an NC-17 rating by the MPAA in the US on account of its "explicit sexual content". The certification, which will make Shame officially off-limits to anyone under 18, would seem to limit the film's awards-season potential, as well as its possible audience reach. But the decision of studio Fox Searchlight not to appeal the decision, nor to offer edits which might mean it could be reclassified as an R-rated film, suggests that the adults-only status may be one of the tools being used in the film's publicity drive. "I think NC-17 is a badge of honour, not a scarlet letter. We believe it is time for the rating to become usable in a serious manner," Searchlight joint president Steve Gilula told the Hollywood Reporter. "The sheer talent of the actors and the vision of the film-maker are extraordinary. It's not a film that everyone will take easily, but it certainly breaks through the clutter and is distinctive and original. It's a game-changer."
