Wait, there's Carey Mulligan in Shame? Brilliant, one more reason to watch this (as if McQueen and Fassbender weren't enough).
Also, the new Marilyn Monroe movie with Michelle Williams looks pretty great.

saw this earlier, and i got to say. a very beautiful film. i can see where the controversy is, and unfortunately yes this movie, like the tree of life, is not for everyone.
I really want to see this.

Shame, Steve McQueen's acclaimed New York drama starring Michael Fassbender, has been issued with an NC-17 rating by the MPAA in the US on account of its "explicit sexual content". The certification, which will make Shame officially off-limits to anyone under 18, would seem to limit the film's awards-season potential, as well as its possible audience reach.
But the decision of studio Fox Searchlight not to appeal the decision, nor to offer edits which might mean it could be reclassified as an R-rated film, suggests that the adults-only status may be one of the tools being used in the film's publicity drive.
"I think NC-17 is a badge of honour, not a scarlet letter. We believe it is time for the rating to become usable in a serious manner," Searchlight joint president Steve Gilula told the Hollywood Reporter. "The sheer talent of the actors and the vision of the film-maker are extraordinary. It's not a film that everyone will take easily, but it certainly breaks through the clutter and is distinctive and original. It's a game-changer."

we have 3 major movie festivals every year (march, september, october), and usually the one in october offers us the oscar contenders. I unfortunately couldn't see Shame, because it was just one big clusterfuck, and at the end the major media got a chance to see it. think about 450+ people trying to get into a 140 seat theater. figured i can catch it another time.
also saw The Descendants
an all right film. not alexander payne's best compared to about schmidy and sideways, but it executes properly.
and i don't think i have posted the trailer for this movie yet, and i have been touting this movie for a couple of months. :P
