What a film.. "Amateur"

Saw this on the weekend but its a 1995 film by Hal
Hartley.. a NY film maker. It´s fucking class!!!! 10-10...
if ya like solid films, sick of crap, tried "Donny Darko"
and other "weird" films and found they lacked something...
loved "Mulholland Drive" then get this out for a bloody
great movie.......

I kind of liked it but thought the ending was really bad. It
was almost as if he was running of of patience and just
wanted the film to end. It could hav ebeen so much better. I
felt it ruined all the work he had put in before hand.

Pedro Amoldovar's "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" is the
last film I watched. It is really very good if you are into
films that are off the beaten track.

I think I'll take you up on your advice and rent it out. But
mark my words, if it's a stinker YOU WILL PAY!

I thought the movie was kinda goofy...two two goons in bad
hired suits meant to evoke a Syndicate was quite
cheesy/silly/funny...

The Amateur is in no way suprior to Donnie Darko..but
there's another movie by Hartley which IS..and I consider it
to be one of the best ever Indie American movies...

you mean how to make links?
if so it should be

"<" without the inverted commas ofcoarse where http
starts..cut and paste the link
I know a bit confusing..but disregard most of the inverted
commas except for the ones around http:/ address...you need
those...
" a href="http://www.pagetolink.com" "

then ">"

then the text for linking eg "link" then "<" then "/a" then
">"

nah.. i thought "Darko..." was just a tad bit....... forced
or something. If it wasn´t for the comedy element... which
was quite good, it´s just another
identty crisis/teen angst,
look-at-our-kids-today-and-how-we-treat-them kinda movie
with a twist.. a good Twilight Zone at best. Also, it was
set in the 80´s whose only purpose is to play some (good)
"cool" 80´s tunes or lead to a present-time sequel......

.. Or am i totally fucking losing it?!!.....

"<" at front..then "a href=" then your adddress in inverted
commas...then ">" then "linky" the "<" then "/a" then ">"

sorry I have to put all the html elements in inverted commas
otherwise they get read as links by the browsers and you
dont get to see them

Donnie Darko is not the most even movie no..but what I like
about it is twisting and mangling genres it touches
on..calling it just a teen movie..would be the same as say
calling MullholandDrive just a thriller
