The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a Terry Gilliam movie. It's beautiful and it's weird and it has big, broad ideas that don't really work out to a very sensible or well-plotted story.

I came out of the Parnassus movie rather disappointed because I didn't think the spiffy imagery made up for the poorly put-together storyline.

I'm curious if other people here went to see The Book of Eli. I've seen it, and three days later I still can't decide if I'd recommend it.

I guess go and see it if you like Gary Oldman? And who doesn't like Gary Oldman? Criminals, that's who.

it's alternately been called "the sanitarium of dr. whatever" and "mr. magoo's magic mansion" on the official trailer reports at the local indie theater where my brother works. It is liked by no-one.

That's disappointing to hear, because I really want to see it. Haven't heard much good about it, though, so I don't know that it's worth the cost of a ticket.

"mr. magoo's magic mansion"

Actually, I would probably be really interested in a movie with this title.

If that were a game, I would play it so hard.

Go see Shutter Island. If it were released last year it would've been best picture, hands down.

For what it was it felt... perfect.

I don't praise many movies in that vein, but its how I feel about this one. Every single thing about it built to a climax, that, while done before, was perfected here gloriously.

All I will say is this, 'watch' every second of it. Watch ever detail. Take it all in. Everything. When it culminates you will be rewarded.

Agreed. It was fantastic.

Only thing I heard was "Shutter Island, man! Fucking amazing!" 7 people now have said this and nothing else.
WHAT IS THE MOVIE ABOUT?!

Hmm.... It appears to be getting mixed reviews on Metacritic. I take it it's a love it or hate it type thing then?

Joxam · « **Reply #459 on:** February 22, 2010, 10:13:57 AM »

I would say that the story is one that has been done over and over*. But as a piece of art, its fucking wonderful. That's why I said watch it like you mean it the whole way through.

Also, that bitch that says the movie is devoid of emotion has a fucking rock heart or is the Grinch or something. I nearly cried in the movie.

* not saying its a bad story, and like I said before, it was perfected in this movie, imo.
