Has anyone seen this film yet? I thought it was great. Stars Robin Williams as a photo technician at a big American superstore, and he stalks this family that gets their pictures developed there. Very cool imagery, I think a lot of people here would appreciate the cinematography & visual style. The movie is quite disturbing in some parts. Very unpredictable. Thoughts? |

I wanna see it, may be good. I have my serious doubts. |
||||||||

its okay. kind of a hypermodern taxi driver but doesn't take the same risks that movie took. it had autechre in the beginning though, that was cool. |

"overand" was that tune, BTW... |

As soon as i saw it on tv I thought about the collapse of the 1 hour photo industry. when a movie like that comes out im pretty sure more than a few people will rethink about taking to get pics developed at all these secluded places. and i think more people will start buy digital cameras so they can develop the pics themselves on the computer. this movie is good .. almost too good. we need movies like this but at the same time its not good. its hard for me. i wish all movies were more real ... more serious and not these explostion laden cinematics. i think we've had enough of those. but yeah. i bet you anything 1 hour photo places will see a slight decrease in business...of maybe im just over paranoid. what are your thoughts on this industry and the impact this movie might cause? |

That was autechre? no shit..i had no idea. cool. |
||||||||
|

I think some people will start demanding background checks of photo techs at places like wal*mart. heh. |

i didn't recognize it at first either...i should have! but i was like 'this seems so familiar' then i fell off my chair at my realization. I agree with you XLR. they should do that...if they already don't. |

btw, i havn't seen the movie yet. i'll get the dvd 4 shur |

it was good, sure, but it was kind of like "hey, robin williams is a psycho, what a novel idea" as opposed to "hey, a really good dramatic actor plays the psycho". i mean, williams is hilarious at times, but its like hes suppresing what makes him interesting now. anyone could have made that role good, and there are alot of actors who would have been better than williams. the movie was sort of an excuse for that premise. |

The ever present One Hour Photo thread. Yes, I saw it and dug it. Robin Williams was great; some of the narrative reminded me of Memento, which is a good thing. I hear there's a screener floating around that has a different beginning than the one shown in theatres, I'd like to check that out. *Looking at zaphod's signature*.. it was neat seeing Sy watch the Simpsons. Also Gary Cole reprise his manager role. He could make an entire career out of it. |
||||||||

He was great as the lonely socially-inept old man though, you have to give him credit for that at least. And then the times when he just snaps...he's talented in the serious roles. |

drat. by serious i mean "sinister" i guess...a lá Insomnia. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
that was such a good movie. i loved his dream |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i do like gary cole in those roles. but i reiterate: robin williams should stick with what made him famous: manic comedy. thats his genious, not sinister villians. |

Anyone else fantasize about being brutally raped by Robin Williams? Or at least molested? |

I'm watching this movie right now in a DivX window, it's the spooky red eye intro with... Autechre! Overand! Gives it a weird air of familiarity. I wonder how many people in the theaters knew this track? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I thought the movie was excellent as well, I loved it.. the casting was impeccable, and i thought Robin Williams did a surprisingly good job with his role. I thought there may have been one loose end, with the store manager getting that 'photo flip book' .. or did that just serve to raise police suspicion? Regardless, it was a great film.. and I can't believe I didn't notice the Ae track! I'm so ashamed... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, didnt notice the ae track it was ok i thought. it kind of just ended. like... BAM THEN END the part with the dream and blood... the entire theater burst out laughing at that hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm..yeah. was that girl the boss's daughter? I'm not sure why that was done, just to spite the boss i guess. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, the photos were of his daughter.. just judging from that shot where it pans across his desk photos earlier, but I'm with you: other than being a last sorta flip off to the boss, I'm not sure what the point of it was. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was alright, i didnt notice autechre either because the beats never came in right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just to clarify, there was no autechre in the movie. it was all original score by a german industrial techno duo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm waiting for it to come out on Maxell. |

It was a great movie, most def. Williams was hilario... erm, I mean, demented. Is it just me, or was some of the piano ''sad theme'' music from American Beauty recycled for this film? Made me think of Mena Suvari whenever I heard it. God I'd love to walk into my bathroom and she's there, under all those petals. *stares into space |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well it depends. if you saw it in the theaters then no, you only heard original music. if you downloaded it then chances are you saw the screener version (sent to critics late last year) with temp music from american beauty and requiem for a dream. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, yeah, I downloaded it the other day, that explains it. It goes well, though, the movies are pretty similar... that suburban crap. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i haven't seen the screener version myself, for all i know it might have different scenes... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not sure if i liked it. i thought it was a bit slow in parts, and the photoguy's miserable life was a bit tedious and depressing to watch...but Robin Williams played the character great. |
