interesting. Will probably see this to see McConaughey do some serious work...so rare that it's a must see. Though lately..it's been the constant. Either way..such a work from that man in the serious form mustn't be missed, at least for me.

EDIT: fucked up the thread title. Mod has been PM'ed.

Yeah, you fucked up the thread title by leaving out Efron.

But seriously, this doesn't look bad.

Well, aside from the horrendous misspellings and thread title fuckup, this does look interesting.

Daniels does interesting work, and Kidman hasn't made a bad move in years, IMO.

I might give this a chance, in spite of Gray, McConaughey and Efron.

That's Kidman? She looks more like Daryl Hannah.

Is this supposed to be like a John Grisham movie John Grisham didn't write directed by Craig Brewer of Black Snake Moan fame? Seems like a mashup of those two things plus an old looking Nicole Kidman.

What? You mean this movie isn't about this?

...I'm not sure you read the unbolded part that you didn't bold. lol. He's been a lot fun lately. I want him to get recognition but then he just does that stupid crap and it's all gone for a while. He's a fucking solid actor that is still kind of unknown for it among the common moviegoer.

The hype on this from Cannes is that there is a scene where Kidman
Spoiler:
pees on Zach Efron's face. And that they did the scene for real. Apparently this is done within the context of he has been stung on the face by a jellyfish so she pees on it to stop the poison
It sounds really strange. I don't see how that works into the film. Seems like a scene that would be in a slapstick comedy not this film.

Re: The Paperboy (Dir: Lee Daniels) (Kidman, Cusack, McConaughey, Efron, etc)

Saw this today. I didn't love it, but thought it was pretty good. I really enjoyed the music in the film. The main piano theme used in some key scenes is quite haunting.

MM was better in Killer Joe.
Cusack, on the other hand, felt like Lloyd Dobler grew up and became a total sleaze, and may or may not have also become a cold-hearted murderer.

The film was shot on 16mm, for those that are interested in such things.

Also, my wife tells me that, in the book...
Spoiler:
Van Wetter kills Charlotte, and Ward feels so guilty about it that he kills himself. In the film, Van Wetter kills them both and tries to find Jack in the swamp.

Yup. Actually, all over his face and chest. But the scene is more "funny" than anything else. The way they shot it, I didn't think there was anything gratuitous about it.
