Terzo 333

Does anyone "get" this film

I've just sat through an hour and a half of what IMHO was a terrible film.

And what was that ending supposed to mean

I can't believe it was nominated for an award

Did anyone actually enjoy / get it ?

Scoobless

Yeah i got this film......didn't laugh once (i must be a miserable git)

One of the worst films i've watched....

I stopped it mid-way and watched Pheonix Nights instead.

Thought it was sh1te. G/F loves it, though.

jjones

didn't even make it halfway

20 minutes was more than enough.

Daz34

I thought it was very good & I have great taste

Mr.Manchester

i watched it all the way through, utter ****e, rather watch paint dry.

NotoriousREV

Opening sequence is excellent, the rest of the film is crap.

Frosty The Snowman

I thought it was quite good, very good portrayal of the utter boredom encounterd by someone on business in a foreign city he's never been to before.

Yeah it's not funny or action oriented but it's not meant to be. If you went out with the idea that it was a Bill Murray film and would therefore be joke a minute stuff then you went to the wrong film

And anyway you should have been going to see it just for Scarlett Johansson anyway

Hello

I didn't like it, but yes it is supposed to portray the boredom of being away much to the suspicion of my wife: "So THAT'S what you do when you stay in hotels all the time is it ..."

Frosty The Snowman

So you meet beautiful women and go to strip clubs, sounds fine to me

I must be in a minority then because I enjoyed this film. Not that I found it in anyway funny, but I did enjoy watching it. Same as 'about schmidt' really, in that not huge amount happens, but then you wouldn't watch this film if you were expecting an action flick or a comedy.

I liked About Schmidt too.

Frosty The Snowman

I think too many people went to see it cos it had Bill Murray in it and were expecting something funny.

DrJP

It was massively hyped but I was disappointed by it

One of the worst films I've ever seen, regardless of any hype surrounding it.

In hindsight, a film about 2 people, who manage to be bored in one of the most interesting cities in the world, was always going to be boring. The film never actually started properly, just lingered like a bad smell.

Also, some huge holes in the plot, the main one being at the end. Quite how the bint managed to be going up in a lift at the hotel when Bill Murray leaves in a cab, then magically be transported halfway across the city when Murray's cab stops, is beyond me.

I feel cheated out of 2 hours of my life.

Really enjoyed it - very gentle film but I guess you have to be in the right mood.

Jerome

If I was in the mood to be heavily sedated, you may be right.

< nods head >

I agree. LIT is, well, a little odd, and not everyone's cup of tea. It was somewhat boring (maybe that is meant to be? would be ironic), but I did enjoy it.

Same goes for AS, not that fast paced, or funny, but some bittersweet moments.

Another film or two I'd put in here are Welcome to Colinwood and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

They are not mainstream, and thus won't appeal to everyone.

Oh, if you want a very, very, very bad film, go see "The Brown Bunny".

Apparition

Thanks guys, was considering hiring that sometime, you just saved me £3+ whatever the charge is nowadays.

So did anyone understand the ending

SiPie

Both knew it was morally wrong to cheat on their partners so had a wee kiss just to show us what they really wanted to happen...

Film was utter pants

ChrisB

Sat through this at the flicks with my girlfriend.

Credits rolled at the end, we both looked at each other and said "Huh?".

Dross - avoid!

warrenm2

you can have a film with no action that is good, but it has a great story. This film didnt have that either.....

Brendan Hughes

Anyone seen the "original", Brief Encounter?

Drunken Bungle Whore

Seen it? I have it on video (haven't upgraded it - yet) - a fabulous old fashioned movie about people who keep their knickers on through the whole film! Love it! (Heard the book was pretty racey though!)

Am starting to warm to the idea of LIT now - wasn't sure before, but sounds interesting.

NotoriousREV

Thats just the point! It's sounds interesting, it could have been great and there some good cinematography, but in the end it's dull, dull, dull.

Scoobless

Nooooooooooooooooooooo
