The Edge is just a fantastic movie. Believe it or not it the first time I actually got to see Hopkins greatness about 9 years ago.

My favorite Kaufman film of all-time. Simply a genious masterpiece, but some people hated it. Personally, it is top-5 in my favorite movies of all-time.

Yeah. ND was just a bunch of random scenes that were so stupid that middle school - high school kids found them absolutely downright hilarious. No story either.
People in Juno kind of have a different way of talking, like ND, but thats about it. Juno actually has a story and is funny because its funny, not dumb.

In the scene where Tommy Lee Jones goes back to the hotel room where Llewelyn dies, Anton is in the room with the sachel of money. Llewelyn went back to get the money after trowing it off the bridge, and had it with him at the hotel.

When I saw Cloverfield the other day, before the preveiws started, they had these 'fun facts' and it said that Jon Heder played the role and only got paid $1000 for the movie.

If anyone hasn't seen There Will Be Blood, see it now. I say it is the Best Picture of the Year and PT Anderson deserves the Directing nod over the Coen Brothers. Also, I like how Commie gave them the best original score award in his other thread because that was one of the best scores that I have heard in years.

Hollywood lost a great actor today in Heath Ledger, way before his time.
His performance in brokeback was great, his role as the joker looks amazing and he did many other great roles as well.
He will be surely missed
