01.29.06	Paramount	Now, I remember seeing this like 3 times theatrically when it came out, but I thought it'd be worth seeing on the big screen again and I was right. It's just different to see something up there after having it on DVD and spending time with it and seeing it many many times. You notice pretty much everything. I still think it's a really great movie. And I still think it's just a tad too long toward the end but mainly that's due to the strength of everything leading up to it. I also still wish they changed the film-jumping-the-sprockets effect to VHS tracking problems and DVD skipping issues for home release though... Same thing for Stir of Echoes with the whole hypnosis-in-a-movie-theater thing... if i ever make a movie and have something like that in there I am gonna make sure to put aside enough money to do different effects for each medium. Anyways, yeah this movie is super duper gay... but that doesn't mean it's bad. It just makes it funny to hear when the frat boy jock types go on about how they love it. It is pretty subversive though... I don't think there's been another movie (except Passion of the Christ I guess) like it until V for Vendetta hits this year... but this is way better than that.
