The intarweb tells me this starts today at Galaxy. Anyone else really really excited to see it?



Kevin Smith:
"Our next flick is not just the best film I saw all week, but easily the best film I’ve seen all year, if not one of the ten best I’ve seen in a decade. It’s called HALF NELSON, and it’s a powerful reminder that American independent film is alive and well and can still be the most penetrating cinema when in the right hands. Those hands belong to Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.

"There aren’t enough thumbs in the world to do HALF NELSON half the justice it deserves. This is just simply an incredible film.

"This pops. This pops in a big bad way. And also, when you look at it, it’s the work of people who haven’t made a lot of flicks. Like this dude, Fleck, this is, he took the short film he had, blew it up into this feature and it holds . . . You know, like it’s an amazing piece to look at where, I sit there as a filmmaker and I’m like, this dude’s way better than me. I’ve been doing this twelve years. This dude is phenomenal."

When I was little, this guy my dad knew was standing with us outside the IMAX theater in Hampton, VA, and they were showing films about the Serengeti and Vietnam.

He said, "Spooks and gooks, just what we need." My mom almost punched him.

I didn't get to see this last night because I was at a show, but the people who did really liked it. I'm probably seeing it on Monday.

since I can't get a student discount, i often fall victim to the galaxy's matinee pricing....

movies starting during the 5 o'clock hour aren't considered matinee...

get's me every time.

I just finished seeing this and was bored out of my mind most of the movie. There was hardly anything in that film that was in the least bit moving.

I thought it was really good. And Broken Social Scene provides most of the soundtrack.

9/30/2006 7:43:00 PM

9/30/2006 7:46:10 PM

Guess I'd better go see this tonight.

How much longer is Factotum playing?

10/12/2006 2:32:12 PM

At least until a week from today.

10/12/2006 3:02:57 PM
