I hope you're kidding because this would mean you had never seen Inglourious Basterds. It's Christoph Waltz and he's incredible.

Yeah, but he's still some old guy (who's name I couldn't remember) :P.

I'm so glad that I did. If you're into sushi, see this. If you're interested in japanese culture, see this. Even if you just find the idea of a 85 year old guy so committed to excellence that work for him really is a 'labor of love', see this. The documentary was sort of mesmerizing - my friends girlfriend confessed to us afterward that she'd expected to nap during the film but instead found herself so rapt that she forgot about her popcorn for the first 30 minutes of it. The musical score was excellent (a lot of philip glass compositions) and the cinematography helped to paint the sushi not just as 'delicious' but as 'beautiful' as well.
The one downside to this one: I'd been planning on getting ramen and a beer at my favorite local sushi joint later tonight. Instead, I went early and spent some 60 dollars on sushi. :p
Man, it gets me every time how active the majority of older people in Japan are. They also look nowhere near the age. I'd put him at 70 orso. Puts the North American healthy people to shame.

Yeah, that new 'Happy Birthday David' viral video is ing creepy and awesome. I must say the whole promotional campaign for Prometheus is quite effective, it makes me wonder what are going to be the dominant themes of the film. First Alien was all about rape; Prometheus seems to have more in common with Blade Runner as this emphasis on a "100% emotional" android suggests.
Bunch of movies I watched lately:
We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011) / ****
Badlands (1973) / ****½
Get Him to the Greek (2010) / **
L'apollonide (Souvenirs de la maison close) (2011) / ****½
Hereafter (2010) / ***
A Woman of Affairs (1928) / ****
Mirror Mirror (2012) / ****
Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927) / *****
Robin Hood (2010) / ****½
Tyranosaurus (2011) / ***
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) / *****

Lot of classics in that list. Love it. Seen Sunrise multiple times in a movie theater and nothing quite captures the beauty of FW Murnaus mis en scene like the big screen. Video just doesnt do it justice.

Haven't had the pleasure in this case, but I'd love to see it in a proper way. It was still utterly magical, especially the scene at the photographer's - pure cinema.

Not sure if anyone has upped this yet, but the big, low budget film of this year is going to be Iron Sky. Apparently made on a pittance with some FX that put big budget films to shame, it looks like a tongue-in-cheek winner:
Danny Ocean
check out The Woman, if you are a horror film fan.
