This is the thread in which we anticipate "Capote"

Considering I would've never clicked on this thread twice if it weren't for the tangent, my guess is we're validating this thread.

That's a sizable amount. A couple are borderline cases that I imagine a fresh viewing would probably merit demotion (#13, #47), but why do that?

film critics are the most pompous boring twats ever!

One half is undoubtedly pompous. The other half is obviously boring. But rarely are they both at the same time. Many of them are completely insane. Do you realize how hard it is to be both completely insane and, at the same time, completely boring?

I don't understand you. But you loved Bad Education, which didn't impress me much.

Sorry that I don't make sense.

Bad Education seemed like a tour-de-force.

I've seen this five or six times now--approaching comfort-film status (odd designation, I know). Love the music, Cooper and Keener and Balaban (even though, from what I've read about him, that's not William Shawn), PSH of course.

Came to post pretty much exactly the same post I put here two years ago. I'm watching Shirley (still not finished), and in the middle of that thought this might be a good point of comparison, so I watched this again. I really love the contrast between the Kansas scenes and Capote holding court back in New York--one of the main things the film's about, really.
