My first random movie though is that i want the time back that i wasted watching the most unsatisfying movie of my life a serious man.

I can totally see that.  The motif (60s surburban minnesota) is a bit of a tough sell and the ending can be a real head scratcher if you weren't 100% emotionally invested.  It was #4 of my films of 2009 so I was able to mine quite a bit of fun out of it.  You're probably already aware of the entire layer of quantum mechanics under the the surface of the whole film - and me being a math-guy had me really interested throughout.

Sorry you didn't have the same experience.  Hate when you invest alot into a film and it never connects with you.  I'll still waiting for my time rebate for My Winnipeg.  They said 6-8 weeks.

I'm not seeing a whole lot of talk about Repo Men.  And you can count me among the many that won't likely ever see it - but the /Filmcast spoiler review of this film is hilarious.

Top 5 movies for which there are better movies which are singular versions of the first movie's title?

It was indeed. I'm not going to see that movie, but now with spoiler knowledge, I might try to rent that on DVD.

The only way Repo Men can be enjoyed is with alcohol and film snobs.

Did everyone else place this actress before I did? I knew I'd seen her in something else, and it was driving me crazy while I was watching The Informant!











Had to check IMDB to figure out I'd just seen the younger version of her here:

She's also in Shattered Glass.  She plays Rose on Two and a Half Men.
