    • Doesn't sound promising: Javier Bardim (sp?) was in a similarly themed - tinear 07:00:00 12/14/07 (2)

      movie a few years back.
      That being said, I'll check it out when it comes to DVD.
      Right now, I've received my six-part "Berlin Alexanderplatz" and I'm nervous about beginning. I hate beginnings with great art: the thrill of discovery is so intense I hate to know it's going to end.
      I have seen several of the parts during an inaugural show in NYC and it, justifiably, is considered Fassbinder's masterwork.

      • Similarly themed? Playing a guy who fought a long battle for the right to die - sjb 09:22:39 12/14/07 (1)

        is similar to playing a person who wound up with "locked in" syndrome and managed to write a book by blinking one eye?
        
        And I'm curious... lets say it had been true that they were similarly themed... why would that make TDBATB "not promising"?

          I'm not a fan of the tragic theme-d films, the emotionally disturbed, the terminally ill, the cognitively challenged.
          Dustin Hoffman began almost a genre with "Rainman."
          Suddenly, we had DeNiro, Penn, and others stuttering, stammering, groping their way towards the Oscar Grail.
          A noble fight against a personal tragedy.
          I'd like to see someone that just gives up.
          Period.
          "Fuck it, I'm dead. Fuck the Fates or Gods that put me here."
          At least it would have the flavor of novelty.

    living in L.A. where every release gets it's moment in the theater and, even though I'm full time employee, I work on a per project basis and am not required to be at work between projects.
