I think it's the throttling which hurts Redbox. They fill up with predominantly bad DTV stuff while they have to wait for good releases. I'd still rather pay them than pay for a digital copy though.

RichC2

Give me $1.50 digital copies and I'll use your service constantly.

Why So Blu?

Exactly.

Sort of a mixed bag for me.

I am glad I saw it, and thought the ending was quite good and provided context to everything before.

Scarlett was awesome I thought in this.

I did think it was a little "too" artsy. I thought there could have been some more "grounding" elements that would have not necessarily taken away from the eerie tone.

The ending visual was incredibly good.

I was reasonably shocked at the erections in an R movie. They weren't even subtle, even seemed to be highlighted. Almost wonder if the ratings board fell asleep or something.

Question: was this filmed over time or with reshoots spaced significantly apart? Scarlett looked noticeably slimmer in some of the later scenes.

RichC2

Why would an erection be grounds for anything other than an R? It didn't show any actual sex or penetration.

The movie was filmed in 2011, so it probably had some re-shoots down the line.

It did not have reshoots, but they did film additional scenes such as the one of her falling down about a year later.

johnnysd

I have always heard that regardless of context that was an instant NC-17. Not remembering seeing it before in R. Don't really care, just surprised.

johnnysd

Would explain it.

Solid Snake

Just a heads up, guys.

This one is playing on Amazon Instant Video. Never got to see this one but it sounded pretty cool.

One of the best films of the year. What are you waiting for?

Thinking back on the flicks I saw in 2014. Boyhood was my favorite, but the one movie that I couldn't get out of my mind is Under The Skin. So strange, uncomfortable to watch and totally unforgettable. Story makes a lot of sense to me after it was all over. This pup destroys Lucy.

Dan

Finally watched this.
I can't say I loved it, but I'm glad I watched it.
That beach scene, though. Super uncomfortable. It definitely drove the point home about what the characters were really like.

I'm sure I'll watch it again someday. Not in a rush to do that, though.

Solid Snake

Goddamn.

This movie is a hell of a thing. I'm at the 47 minute mark and... there is a lot of shit going on w/ this world and the woman.

Random thing I noticed. A lot of fat fucks in Scotland apparently.

So far I really really dig the film.

dex14

Do you ever live tweet your viewings?

Solid Snake

No. But Lately I've been really stop and go w/ movies I'm streaming cuz of having to go do other stuff.

RichC2

Yeah, watch the beginning of Filth, gives you a nice overview of modern day Scotland.

Solid Snake

Heh. I watched that like in November. I dug it. Really liked the ending on that one. But....there were some fat fucks, indeed.

Solid Snake

Damn. Very Kubrick but also something else. Foreign from it all in a way. It does stay w/ you. Really fucked up in many ways. Really impressed by it.

Really solid. That undertone to it all reminded me of a film from the 1970s that I can't remember. This disturbing look on man from a foreign source. Really liked the end.

I want to read the book, how different is it from the film?

PhantomStranger

Overrated arthouse tripe, propped up by Scarlett Johansson's nudity. Some of the accents are nearly indecipherable.

RichC2

I dunno how it's overrated, I think it has like a 1 out of 5 on Redbox.com.

I showed up for the nudity, stayed for the great film making and solid acting

inri222

You forgot the IMO.

That's what this button is for :

EctoCooler

Huh? There wasn't a single fully erect penis in the movie. Plenty of dongs but none erect.

EctoCooler

Would you have preferred that they go for a more American accent so that you could understand it better?

RichC2

There were several erect penii in the movie.
