MORBS SEZ: "I didn't find much 'emotion' in In the Mood for Love. I liked the whistles and bells in [2046] more, and preferred its view of 'love' -- more meanness and random kindness / cruelty."I just want to gush about how gorgeous In the Mood For Love is, which I just finished watching again.

We have paved the way for the American remake of In the Mood for Love starring Ice-T and Alan Cumming.

Ew now I'm getting mental images of In the Mood for Love with Stiller and Jack Black as the leads.

I am a big WKW fan, but I am one of the only people I know who didn't enjoy In The Mood For Love.

I'm the other. I keep telling myself it's because I saw it on a small TV screen on video and wasn't able to enjoy the "sumptuous" cinematography.

In the Mood for Love works on a 13" set! You were watching a color TV, right?

it's fairly boring (though at the same time beautiful).

Wow, In the Mood For Love is the most crushing movie I've ever seen, perhaps.

In The Mood For Love is fine, but not a patch on earlier Wong. Best movie of the century for any of them, no....

Finally got around to In the Mood for Love and yeah it's gorgeous but a bit of a snooze and frustrating - just do it already!
