I am very excited for this one. It is my second most anticipated movie, behind Kill Bill 2.

Saw this already. Fantastic film.
Also got to see Kaufman and Gondry in person for a Q&A after the screening. Would have been better had people asked decent questions.

I'm seeing it tomorrow, but what I've heard from early press screenings is that it's remarkable - a true triumph from Kaufman and Gondry.
I'm hoping this is the case.

Just saw this movie last night and was floored. This is by and large one of the best movies I've seen over the past few years. I did not like Carrey's performances in The Majestic for The Truman Show. His performance in this was very, very good. He played his part perfect. Kate Winslet, David Cross, Kirsten Dunst and Elijah Wood were also perfectly cast. Everyone in the movie created a world that seemed real, as they were acting naturally.
The story by Charlie Kauffman was amazing as well. I can't really go into the story much, but from what the previews have said is basically the premise of the movie. This will be going up as a contendor at the Acadamy Awards for best screenplay for sure, with other possible nominations as well.
I'm going to catch another preview of this next Wednesday as I want to see it again immediately. Anyone else catch this yet?

I’m gonna get creamed on this…
But I wasn’t too hot on it. I felt Gondry’s visual acrobatics took away from the emotional core that Kaufman is trying to convey. It isn’t a bad film at all, but oddly distant when the central story is about intimacy.
The early reviews have been doing backflips, so I realize I’m going to be in the minority on this one. So be nice!
IMO alert! People crapped all over DREAMCATCHER, but I enjoyed that portrait of how the mind works much better than SUNSHINE.

I haven't seen it yet, but, judging from the trailers, it looks like a combination of The Truman Show and Vanilla Sky, which isn't a bad thing, I actually enjoyed both of those movies. This movie and The Final Cut (with Robin Williams) are probably two of my most anticipated movies right now.
