I was supposed to be the music director for it, but had to drop out on account of dissertation work.  But it was a complete pleasure, a playful circus rhythm ("a play in 81 scenes"), and lots of fun non-narrative elements.  I haven't seen anything else of his yet.

So Who Saw What Last Week? (me - The Avengers: B-) islander May 07, 07:49

Contraband B- {nm} Oleg Max May 07, 07:53

Avengers 2D:A, Avengers 3D:A {nm} Tanker May 07, 07:53

The Avengers (A), American Reunion (C), The Skin I Live in (C+), Caramel (B-), Lovers of the Arctic Circle (A) {nm} Adriii May 07, 07:58

Lovers of the Arctic Circle is a great movie. joeoftexas May 07, 08:04

Right? I loved it :) And It made my friends and I talk about those coincidences that changed our lives xD {nm} Adriii May 07, 08:11

Tyrannosaur (2011) A , Casanova '70 (1965) B+ , Marvel's The Avengers IMAX 3D (2012) B , W.E. (2011) C+ , MI4 - Ghost Protocol (2011) D joeoftexas May 07, 08:01

I liked Ghost Protocol, not the Avengers though. JMT-NL May 07, 08:10

MI4 was so entertaining! Dubai part was awesome. I'm with you on Tyrannosaur, though. Really good movie, characters and performances :) {nm} Adriii May 07, 08:13

A Lonely Place to Die, B+ (yeah, MI2 sucked, hard; enough time has passed, I may try MI4) {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! May 07, 08:05

Yes...try MI4. Much better. Tell me what you think when you see it (the Monday Roll Call after you see it) {nm} Ryan_Stewart May 07, 08:27

The Avengers: B+, Source Code (again): B+, The Kid with a Bike: A-, Bully (2012): B {nm} lobogotti May 07, 08:06

The Hunger Games (B+), The Muppets (B-), Cinema Verite (B), Catfish (A-)... thoughts inside. GalacticPothealer May 07, 08:10

I keep recommending Catfish to everyone xD It's such a peculiar, engaging and surprising film. {nm} Adriii May 07, 08:15

Indeed, and for me it's even better because... (SPOILERS inside) GalacticPothealer May 07, 09:39

Agreed. And It does not matter if it's real or fiction, I was hooked and thrilled as if it was. {nm} Adriii May 07, 09:49

This discussion causes me to want to watch Catfish. Sounds like a movie not for everyone, but could be a hit at Delta House. Of course, DTXbro May 07, 13:01

The Avengers (C), Meeting Evil (B+) {nm} jmr May 07, 08:16

Haywire C- (I'd give it an F, but I could see what Soderburg did with small budget and trying something different) {nm} Ryan_Stewart May 07, 08:25

The American (2010) (C), Morning Glory (2010) (C+), Megamind (2010) (B-), Paranormal Activity 2 (2010) (D-), more... slappydavid May 07, 08:28

Avengers (A-)...the minus was because they never explained how all of a sudden Banner/Hulk could control himself {nm} tealfan May 07, 08:28

thank you (was wondering that) {nm} islander May 07, 08:37

A friend who read the books told me that he always controls himself (and never kills 'cause of his inteligence) but Adriii May 07, 10:14

hopefully it's a deleted scene or something mentioned offhand in Iron Man 3 (I assume Bruce will partake of Tony's 10 floors of R&D) {nm} tealfan May 07, 10:27

I saw somewhere they cut something like 30 minutes of footage. Maybe we'll find out in the Director's Cut Platinum Edition. {nm} Tanker May 07, 10:47

The Avengers B+, The Raven C- {nm} Movie Cub May 07, 09:00

A new German play by Schimmelpfennig, "Long ago in May," (A). Rpt viewing of "The social network" (A+/A) {nm} second gary May 07, 09:04

Just curious, where did you see the play? An American staging? I think it was written around 2000, but never saw it myself... GalacticPothealer May 07, 09:43

A new translation by Melanie Dreyer at Cornell University. second gary May 07, 09:48

Sounds like a lot of fun... I'll go and look for the text of the play somewhere. {nm} GalacticPothealer May 07, 12:25

Averagenders...(D+,67%)....Craptain America......(F+,59%) {nm} DASavage May 07, 09:10

Headhunters (B+), Damsels in Distress (D), Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (B-) {nm} skamanfu May 07, 09:13
