Went to a screening where the director, Rian Johnson, did a Q&A. Great film, and a really nice guy to talk to. His budget was only 500 grand. Wow.

I really want to see this film, as I have only heard good things about it.
Plus, I love Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

i work with a guy we call "brick". they were rennovating the building and he walked out the door and a brick fell on his head. he's still sharp as a tack but he tends to repeat himself.

...was pretty good. i'm not into noir, but my girlfriend really enjoyed all the nods to older movies.

it's good.....classic noir film...almost like a raymond chandler novel.....but wrapped in an '06 socal suburbian veneer......
you should check it out.....i had smootches with the costume designer, michelle posch.....so you should really go see it.....

Yeah - it was pretty good.
The dialogue was great, although a lot of people couldn't look past the fact that these were high-school kids speaking like 1930's homicide detectives. Nevertheless - I loved the dialogue - it was interesting and different.
The acting was a little, let's say, less than moving, but copable, and yeah - it was kinda dark, in the "noir" category I guess.
But the best part is that the movie made fun of itself throughout. Like, there's this part - *SPOILER DISCLAIMER* - when the main character, our sleuth, meets the "kingPin" in the school parking lot, in the back of the "kingPin's" mom's van, with floor lamp for lightin, no less, takes a ride aorund the block to talk "business" and gets dropped back off in the school parking lot as the "kingPin's" roughins kick him out of the side of the van onto the curb in the school parking lot, next to a payphone.
Classic.

watched it yesterday... great film!.
weirdly enough I think the 1940's detective dialogue worked.
go watch it!

I watched it yesterday.
Pile of shite, and being "Noir" is not an excuse for that.Completely sterile charaters - couldn't give a shit about her.
Any normal person who cared for someone would've just called the cops.I seriously considered walking out of this one.
