Yeah, I really loved it. Excellent performances. Well written. Nice doc-style cinematography. Plus it has the lead singer from TV on the Radio (he's the groom, it's a small role and he's not bad in it) and a cameo by Robyn Hitchcock (as himself, singing a song at the wedding).

really has nothing to do with what you are saying, but the next movie by both these directors are in my top 10 favorite movies (Happiness and All the Real Girls) [/b]

I'm a big fan of David Gordon Green's. I prefer George Washington to All the Real Girls, but they're both excellent. FWIW, I don't find George Washington to be depressing really. More thoughtful than depressing. And much of it is actually funny. I also really like his third film, Undertow, which is similar tonally to George Washington. Snow Angels was a big disappointment. It was OK, but not as good as his previous films.

Happiness. Man, that movie just hurts so good.

RocknRolla was great, plenty of laugh out loud moments

Yeah Snow Angels was fine, but nothing special.  I feel the same way about Undertow, althought it was better than Snow Angels.  Pineapple Express was definitely a weird choice for him.

He is working on a movie which he says isnt really a direct sequel to Happiness but is related.  Starring Paris Hilton. I dont expect much.

I haven't cried at a movie in a long time the way that I cried last night watching Milk. Seriously, it was gut-wrenching for me.
 
 I think everyone should see this movie. Everyone.

Saw Slumdog last night and really liked it a lot.

John Tucker Must Die

I saw Synecdoche, New York last night.  The movie turned out to be a bunch of people growing older and crying.  The theater was crowded, I'll give it that.

ok so it took a couple of weeks but we finally got out to see slumdog last night - incredible stuff - heartbreaking, heartwarming, funny - thanks for the suggestion

[xneverwherex]

I saw Milk in San Francisco and it was a great crowd. A good chunk of the crowd had lived in SF when all of this happened. There wasnt a dry eye in the theater. Probably one of the best films Ive seen this year (granted now is the time for all the award films to come out). Id have handed the Oscar straight to Sean Penn, but Im hoping it goes to Mickey Rourke. His performance in The Wrestler is amazing!

You're right. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the face that he directed Pineapple Express. I really love Undertow.

Damn, this movie made me cry, too!!!
