    I watched Bubble the other night, Steven Soderbergh's experiment in micro-budget production. Dirt cheap equipment, small town location, non-actors starring. Like he watched Primer and went, "If those no-name assholes can do it, I bet I can do it EVEN BETTER!"

    Except that he couldn't. At all. I admire his experimental, keep-trying-new-stuff spirit, but good god almighty was that movie dogshit. I've seen dozens of student films that put it to shame. Swing and a miss, Soderbergh.

    except that they're not really comedies. most of them aren't, anyway.

    they're more drama than comedy, i'd say

    just because they have funny bits doesn't make them comedies

    greenberg had funny bits but that movie was not really a comedy at all

    Bottle Rocket was definitely the funniest. Maybe because it's less pretentious.

    I think Royal Tenenbaums was the last Wes Anderson movie I didn't hate

    Paul WS is still the best though

    he made Event Horizon

    So TLB, long as you're here:

    They're making a 24 movie, right? Now that the series is ending and all that. That show was insanely uneven, but I think we can all agree that Jack Bauer is a certifiable badass.

    What I want to see happen with the movie is that they keep the real-time conceit, but limit it to sixty minutes of time. Cut out all the bullshit subplots that made the show so frequently interminable. Then have the dudes who wrote Crank 2 write it, and call the whole thing The Jack Bauer Power Hour.

    It would be the greatest movie of all time.

    pooro this is almost perfect, you're almost there

    just replace the writers with the writers of Punisher: War Zone

    and it will be sublime

    the scene of punisher at the mob dinner party is the best. he's all no-nonsense I'ma put a knife in yo head.

    which reminds me of the one thing i hate that is coming with preview clips of Kick-Ass. people are all WHOA Nick Cage is so cool and badass+nonchalant. He's the best now he should play oldbatman in Dark Knight Returns

    that's not Cage, you dickholes, that's the choreographer making him not be all Face-Off meets Bangkok

    This is true.

    Although I think the fact that War Zone ran for like 20 minutes before the Punisher even said his first line is probably the coolest thing ever.
