I am with you on this last one, which is why I gave it FOUR STARS on Netflix. I wish we could all carry our Netflix ratings around with us on cards. Anyway, it was a good movie, and it was extremely well-directed, but it just didn't have any depth at all and therefore doesn't deserve ALL the accolades it's getting. If it wins Best Adapted Screenplay, for example, I will be mad (because I assume the book probably covers this ground a lot better, being a book and necessarily wordy) but if it wins Best Neat Movie, I will be glad.

Also, it was blood.

Oh but let me just say this: I overvalue any movie with really long takes. If you put a take in your movie that's really long and, I figure, took a lot of rehearsal, I just assume you know what you're doing and kind of give you a free pass when, say, the writing gets a little pseudo-profound.

Hey! I think you said good things.

I will say that I disagree with you about a thing, it that is okay. I was actually talking to people the next day after I saw the movie, and saying, "Yeah, you know what I really liked? I really liked how they didn't try to get into why no one had babies anymore, because, seriously, in the real world, people wouldn't know. That's how things really happen. It was good because it let me focus on the actual story."

Also, I thought the blood spatter was mud, as in, from the ground. I am also colorblind.

But I mean, whatever. Your netflix simliarity to me has been dropping for a little while, by the way. You're down to 80% last I checked. So there. Nya.
