yeah I enjoyed it. I like movies where the surrounding community is as much a central part of the narrative as the main characters

keeping Bernie offscreen wd've been better.

so I lost my hopes that Bernie would be uproarious but uneven like I Love You, Philip Morris in the first ten minutes.

We’re also doing a follow-up to Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, so that will be fun. We’re going to shoot that this summer,” Hawke reveals. “I’ve gotten into trouble, so I’m sworn to secrecy [about where it will take place]. The biggest change between this one and the last one is the Internet. The first time we did it, we didn’t have any pressure; nobody gave a shit.

When I heard they were doing Before Sunset, I thought, "that is a TERRIBLE idea."

I feel the same way now, despite really loving Before Sunset.

Finally saw Bernie. Thought it fantastic, but that's perhaps owed to, you know, the TEXAS thing. He didn't get talked up as much as Black did, but McConaughey absolutely NAILED the lifelong small-time/big ideas Texan Politico ("Let me show you what I like to call my 'Wheel of MIS-Fortune'."), from the hand movements down to the cowboy hat and half-full bottle of Big Red on the table in the courtroom (that part I guess was really up the props department).

Was moved by the dedication to Lou Perryman and Eagle Pennell at the end of the credits.

bernie was great. i thought shirley maclaine was just fantastic (jack black too, but her performance was so smart). especially after how much i disliked her on downton abbey.

i loved this. Morbs is probably right in that it does deflate a little. for that happened after the murder.

townspeople the real star (and maybe even subject) of the film, which almost reads like an ethnography of small town east texas. particularly loved the sense in which it was obvious (to me anyway) that many of the interviewees were cutting up not only for the camera but for each other--you get the sense this kind of performance in front the community is a part (and pleasure) of daily life in a town like that. this is like sitting in church and listening to gossip. Bernie is a hero because he played that game, because he performed so well. the "reality" of what he did is incidental.

Me too! McConaughey /is/ Texas as much as any of the folksy old people.

Before Midnight getting rapturous reviews.

the film it most closely resembles is not either of its predecessors but Abbas Kiarostami's Certified Copy, an ironic, metatextual take on cinematic love stories that somehow, and most unfortunately, feels much more genuine than this.

Somehow this doesn't dampen my enthusiasm.
