I'm very much okay with that, since that's how it was to some extent in Silence and Red Dragon.
Exactly. He's sort of the factor that everything else pivots around.

Being that we had our Christmas concert last night, and I had them just take their instruments home afterward, today in my junior high band class we're streaming Santa Claus Conquers The Martians.
No educational value whatsoever, beyond a pretty decent trumpet solo in the opening theme song. Just messing with their minds, as they try to figure out if I really think this is a great Christmas movie or not. Because ultimately, that's the only reason I got into this business.

I knew it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a conspiracy against us kids (or former kids).
Thank you, you have validated my rebellion towards all my teachers in junior high.

I don't remember Red Dragon well, but I would say it's maybe more like Red Dragon than Silence, from what I do recall. I think it's darker/creepier than Silence (which I always think is more suspenseful than anything). Kinda depressing.
Silence of the Lambs is one of my favorite movies. Red Dragon was just so-so for me. Did you guys watch Manhunter? It's the same story from Red Dragon, but told differently and with less Hannibal and special effects that don't measure up anymore (it was probably low budget).
Having said that, I read the books for both Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs and they are both very good.
American Hustle: recommended. Fun movie.
I really want to see this…ever since I first saw a trailer probably 3-4 months ago.
Didn't care for American Hustle. Almost fell asleep during the first 30 minutes. Kind of a downer, not entertaining like GoodFellas.
Story was dis-jointed. Too many swear words.
I went with 2 others and all of us were disappointed.

And no one used the F word very often
First time I see someone asking for more F-bombs in a movie. But if you were expecting Good Fellas, then sure, you'd be disappointed.
Saw Inside Llewyn Davis last night. The Coen brothers' latest. I loved the marquee on the theater: "Starring a cat and John Goodman." Yup. It was really good. Amazing--things kind of happen, sure, but really, nothing happens. There's not a traditional arc. But I wasn't bored. And, of course, the music was great.

+1. Just got back from it. Great movie.

Did I miss the wide release? It doesn't seem to be playing anywhere near where I live.
Cannot wait to see this one. Don't see to many movies in the theater, usually wait till On Demand. But I don't think this one can wait.

Women can get guys into trouble. At least in these movies.
Nobody leaves this place without singing the blues.
Probably not in wide release yet. I live in the Twin Cities and it's only showing at one specialty theater.
