Thanks, iTunes, for reminding me why I just loving :filez: everything: because you're so goddamn paranoid that you won't let me play movies that I pay for in HD on my laptop monitor because it doesn't have hardware that supports your bullshit copy protection scheme, so I just wind up having to loving steal a copy anyway! :fuckoff:

I was getting kinda bored with the movie until around the middle when everyone starts growing suspicious and murdery but holy hell did the movie pick up right at the point where Intermission starts and it just doesn't let go until the end. :stare:

Oh, and this songs soundtrack is so on fire that it's not even funny.

FUN COMMENTARY TIDBIT: The HATE joke was lifted wholesale from Edgar Wright's unproduced version of Ant-Man. He doesn't outright say that's where it came from, but it's pretty heavily implied. "Well if they're not gonna use this amazing joke, I'll have it." :v:

Opposite here, I found all the likable interesting stuff in the first half, and was bored by all the stuff after the cute kid in the post office. And yes, I know that's more than halfway through.

Yeah. I just saw this at the dollar movies, catching it before it was entirely gone, and really enjoyed it, it was about what I expected based on what I'd heard.

But I agree that the best stuff is early before everything gets all heavy and drama laden. To me this is light as a feather and is at its best when it's just reveling in the music and stylish editing of a chase scene.

It's hard to imagine how you could enjoy movies, action movies, and any kind of car chases and not love the opening sequence.

I'm not ready =(

Yeah once everyone starts loving each other over(starting with the botched weapons buy) the movie get's less fun. Still a great idea for a film. And that opening car chase was amazing. It's going on my list of movies to just watch until the third act. I don't know if i have a personal problem with stories ending but i have so many favorite movies that are just act 1 and 2. Is that a thing? It seems like once a movie turns to wrap up mode i tune out.

I'm the same way with Brokeback Mountain. While I love the whole film, I have watched the first hour of it about 30 times and only watched the second half maybe 5 times. I kind of wish Ang Lee had done a 4 hour version where the titular Brokeback Mountain part is like 90 minutes instead of the 30 it currently is.

Just started the movie, and I just want to say that Hamm really pulls off the Richard Spencer haircut and proves how poorly it looks on Richard.
