Has anyone seen this movie with Robin Williams? If so what is the quote he says while in the MAll cafeteria to the wife:
"Fear is..."

my BF went to see this yesterday and i'm waiting to hear how it was. unfortunately it's in limited release so it's not come to my town yet! =/
i'm curious about the soundtrack, was it good? there was a rumor that Trent Reznor for NIN had a hand in it, but i believe from some articles that it was just that a rumor. still......no one i know had seen the movie so maybe the RUMORS were RUMORS....hahahah
i LOVE quotes i hope someone remembers it.
do you know who robin williams was quoting?

flea....maybe you can help me figure this out.
what is it about comedians (lets talk robin williams specifically) that make them seem so creepy.
part of 'insomnia's' horror if you will was the benign face of robin williams....yet there was something else there that gave you a chill.
i was trying to think of it......but i can't put my finger on it.
any thoughts?

I dont know I wonder about that my self..it might stem from the childhood stranger danger warnings..no candy from the nice stranger sort of thing..but then there's the whole scary clown factor thrown into it..we have been programmed not to trust someone too nice or funny...and I agree about the benign face in Insomnia being a factor in the fear..I was actually convinced that he was an average Joe that just fucked up real bad..until he snapped again towards the end...
for me the real suspense of the movie was about how far, bent and twisted, Al Pacino was gonna get till the end...and the answer satisfyingly was VERY!
do you watch The Shield?

sadly i don't watch 'the sheild'
i've heard good things about it, but my schedule is such that many programs that come on during the evening i'm not around for.
YOU NAILED IT DOOD.
that whole scary clown stuff really makes sense to me. (i hate clowns...always have even before poltergiest)
and i agree quite a preformance from Al.....i didn't expect the ending at all which is a good thing in my MOVIE book.
it was funny cos the whole atmosphere really came through....by the end of the movie me and my bf were totally frozen.....it was a great movie....=0)

the landscapes blew me away..stunning..how the whole flight in begining took you this magical..landscape..also a cue that you are as much a stranger in a strange land as Al Pacino and none of the rules apply...
I am warming up to The Shield I really liked Micheal Chilkis in the Commish..the soft decent good back..here he is a different bad beast...it's almost inspired by Training Day and that most awesomesly frightening movie Bad Leiutennat..do try and catch it when you can...

The movie was good... worth seeing in the theatre. Mark Romanek is a famous music video director [Fiona Apple/ Madonna/ Michael Jackson/ Lenny Kravitz/ Janet Jackson] and this is his first feature. Very beautiful. The soundtrack is very nice, don't think it's NIN, but I'm just guessing. Robin Williams is AWESOME. He makes the movie. All the other actors are HORRIBLE. The wife in the movie cannot act for shit. She looks good and that's all. I got no emotion for her. The movie would've been bad if it hadn't been for Mark Romanek's great aesthetics/script and Robin Williams acting skills. Getting back to the main issue... what is that quote?
I went with a bunch of friends and they say it's something like:
"Fear is something you've already experienced" But I know that is not how it's worded. The wording makes EVERYTHING.
So if any of ya go see the movie and you all should... pay attention for me:)

There was a NIN song in there... La Mer. I believe there was also that Clint Mansell Overture (same as from requium for a dream... damn good song). The movie was good too. Robin Williams plays the lonliest character I have ever seen in a movie, completetly beleiveable too

this is NOT mark romanek's first picture. check IMDB. i really liked arlington road.
trent/nin did not score the picture afterall. check cdnow for the soundtrack - the 2 names attached to the cd did in fact score it.
wolfslice: you saw the screener. the "final" version has no "la mer" and no scores from requiem for a dream or american beauty.
i enjoyed the movie =) a "slow terror" for sure. robin williams' performance was creepy to the maximum. ending could've been written about 100x better though.

To answer your quote question:
"The things we fear the most have already happened to us."
I see Heil + Klimek did the score. They did a lot of work on the Run Lola Run soundtrack. That's pretty much all I know about them. Though if someone told me Trent Reznor did the score, I'd probably believe it. My favorite parts of the movie were the narratives done by Robin Williams. Reminded me a lot of Guy Pearce's narratives in Memento. The way Robin Williams describes the importane of his job, pictures, things of that nature.
It's funny to see Gary Cole pretty much reprise his role from Office Space. Even uses the same name "Bill"
I thought Robin Williams was much better in this than in Insomnia. Insomnia was Al Pacino's show. The previews for that movie made Robin seem much more sinister than he really was in the movie. In this film there's no doubt that his character is deeply disturbed. There is other things i'd like to go into but I don't want to spoil anything.

heehe DUNE is great.....however i must see Robin's preformance in this movie.
*prays that it will come to my town before the end of the year*
clint mansell is a genius composer i have both soundtracks to Pi and Req for a Dream. i was hoping they would release the intro he did for Murder by Numbers because it was excellent, but i've never seen it! =/

the movie was all right. the story itself was a little stupid and un realistic but the direction was good. Robin williams was great but I think Insomnia was better. It's difficult to say though whether Robin Williams is actually good or if he just seems good because you are not used to seeing him in a role like this. just like when he started doing serious roles. he seemed great but then he turned out a pile of stinker movies (what dreams may come, death to smoochie, patch adams.. etc..)
** spoiler kinda **
i'll put my spoiler comments at the bottom of this post. don't read further if you havent seen this movie.!!!
so when i say it was written stupidly, one scene in particular is at the end when the cops show up at the hotel. why didn't they just go straight to the husbands room? if they thought he might be in danger and they knew he was in the hotel don't you think that would be the first place to go?
also, why did cy (williams)try running away all panicy? if he was so anxious to get away, why did he lay about in his room before running?
also, who was holding the camera taking pictures of the husband making out with his mistress? did they have it on a timer? and why would they take pictures anyway? it could and did get used as evidence against them.
anyway these are just a few of the inconsistancies i noticed. Mark romanek is a good director but i don't think he is much of a writer.
