wow, what a harrowing movie this was. i'm surprised i never
got around to seeing it way back when it came out, but i'm
happy i finally did. not something i necessarily want to
watch again, but very good. and philip seymour hoffman is
amazing.

yeah it is a great film. i saw it a few months ago

you know though, there are two scenes where you can clearly
see the boom mic coming in at the top of the screen, like
really clearly. I don't know how they didnt pick it up,
unless it was on purpose.

but anyway, its quite an interesting film. worth seeing at
least once.

as well!

yeah ive had them on my "films to see" list but the video
stores around here don't have them, they don't have a lot of
good stuff actually.

i saw welcome to the dollhouse, haven't seen the other one
yet. i liked it, but it just doesn't have the impact of
happiness.

great film - probably his best. very, very heavy. it was
hard to get through it, in a way. but of course, it's worth
it. my favorite scene is the opening scene with john
lovitz. that was awesome.

yes... oh man... yeah i won't be watching this again any
time soon... it's so thoroughly sardonic in its own little
suburbanite way... the cinematic world it engenders is so
unpleasant... like flourescent lighting or something...
tough to describe properly... but definitely worth seeing
once or twice...

yeah, that is a great scene.
one thing i liked about this is the fact that it doesn't
simply objectify the child molester character as being an
evil monster, which is the trap alot of movies would fall
into with that kind of subject matter, essentially falling
victim to the same kind of objectification the character is
doing.

I only got to see half of it before it got recorded over.
Mark my words, this film will get watched in it's entirety.

Son "Would you fuck me?"

Father "No, I'd masturbate first."

Fucked up shit.
