Title: Closer (2005) Post by: lester1/2jr on April 17, 2005, 12:01:35 PM This was one of the best movies I've ever seen. but everyone I talk to seems to feel quite the opposite. I was really into 'happiness" too, so maybe it's just me. Can't beat Natalie Portman up on that table though!
Title: Re: Closer (2005) Post by: Mofo Rising on April 17, 2005, 12:56:37 PM Hated Closer. Granted, the movie was well acted and directed, but it never answered the question of why I should care about these characters. Miserable people being miserable to each other. So what?
I wrote a review (http://www.xanga.com/contentlatest.asp?tab=reviews&user=MofoRising), in which I swear. A lot.

Title: Re: Closer (2005) Post by: Mofo Rising on April 19, 2005, 12:05:18 AM Well that's an odd thing to say.
Title: Re: Closer (2005) Post by: Brother Ragnarok on April 19, 2005, 01:16:40 AM One of my friends watched it with his girlfriend and said the exact same thing. Nothing wrong with it technically, just a massively stupid and insulting storyline about s**tty people being s**tty to each other. His words were "Not since I read 'The Fountainhead' have I had a cast of more worthless and loathsome characters dumped in my lap."
Apparently "love story for adults" means real mature love is musty and hurtful. I will be avoiding this like the plague. Title: Re: Closer (2005) Post by: Break It on April 19, 2005, 07:01:53 PM lester1/2jr wrote:

Which to me, could be a legitimate reason.... ;) Title: Re: Closer (2005) Post by: lester1/2jr on April 20, 2005, 11:31:21 AM It was basically a foreign type film by american actors. minus the socialist undertones.

My wife and I rented this about a month ago and just now got around to watching it. We have the Blockbuster plan where you pay 25.00 per month and keep the flicks however long. I must say it's probably the most pretentious piece of absolute s**t I have seen in a very long time. I usually like strong character dramas but this one fell FLAT. Oh...my....God....can't...finish...rant....brain....having...diarreah.......................................................
