Just got back from food and dismal film with a friend… more of a distraction than anything but.. i did manage to catch the trailer for the new Spike Jonze film and it kicked me in the.. socially broken nether regions.
Somehow it seemed bleak and uplifting all at once. Check it out on youtube and throw out your thoughts.. It’s called HER. I know i identify with films where the characters are fractured.. but i’m curious if anyone else finds it intriguing..

I haven’t seen the trailer yet but that sounds like a great movie. It’s also starring two of my favorite actresses, Amy Adams and Rooney Mara! Yay. Plus the always loveable Chris Pratt.
Looking forward to it though it’s only hitting theaters in January..
@Per Have you seen Where the wild things are? It’s the only film he directed that i haven’t watched.. I’m curious if it’s worth a viewing.. i think the audiences were indifferent to it.
Yeah, I saw that back when it was released. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit, but then I always seem to have a fondness for that kind of imaginative, back-to-childhooId venture. The soundtrack was cool as well, in my opinion; I’m a fan of Karen O (from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs). I should rewatch it and see if my opinion has changed.
Ah, I forgot he was the director of Being John Malkovich. That was such a mindfuck. It literally made me feel claustrophobic – that building with the low ceilings. Agh. A creative film, although it didn’t quite reach its full potential. They could have shown more of the world inside Malkovich’s mind.
I haven’t seen Adaptation yet, but I own the DVD.
