Now that's an interesting thought. That he touched the CD (I, like previous posters, assumed it was to build tension).
I have recently watched this film and now may have to do so again just to watch his fingers closely when he handles the disc!
I just finished watching it a short while ago.
I always get a chuckle somewhere during the film -- and it's not always in the same moment per viewing.
That means it's a great comedy in my book.
Indeed. I'd never heard Air I Breathe until I sat watching this film. Then I thought "that sounds like Creep."
On a side note . . . artists may try the approach U2 took with a recent single entitled Atomic City, where the chorus echoed Blondie's "Call Me" . . . so the band included Blondie in the royalties up front.
Sure saves a lot of time on a lawsuit later.
I never understood the writing for the Sheldon character in an episode that opened with Leonard, Penny & Sheldon watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
Sheldon is uncharacteristically praising the Grinch, who is a blatant thief.
To add insult to injury, the writers have Sheldon in the very next moment objecting to the "Frosty the Snowman" character exactly because he is a thief (i.e., wearing a stolen hat if I recall).
<shrug> whatever . . but very sloppy writing.
Perhaps there can be a "12 days of Christmas" assignment for 12 films.
So if there's TMP.
Let's add Eyes Wide Shut.
Now we need 10 more.
(and only atypical nominations please)
" . . . even if he really did say that, it doesn't matter . . . "
Disturbing.
This film came across to me as a Trojan horse to introduce the factual substance of religions copying off of one another through the ages.
The girl acolytes objections are lame and inconsequential, the "villian" makes substantial points, everything that happens thereafter is window dressing (the horror theme played out).
I can't think of any better than this.
Yes I would agree that the scene with Portman/Owen was the highlight of the film for sure.
And I don't mean to nitpick, but the dialogue just comes off a little too on point upon repeated viewings (and I have seen the film several times over the years, I initially enjoyed it so much that I added it to my library).
Still think it's a solid film from front to back and the acting is supurb, but given the cast I'd expect nothing less.
I didn't find it so realistic. People in the real world lie. The people in this film do not. They are brutally honest to whom they're speaking, to the point of relishing in the cruelty of what they are saying.
Typically people who cheat will resort to denial as the first line of defense.
The characters in this film appear all too eager to do the wrong thing just so they can pronounce it to the world.
Lastly, I found the dialogue very much like a play. Then lo and behold I found out the film was indeed adapted from a play.
Well done and a good film make no mistake, but I found the dialogue a bit stilted for my taste, at least in parts.
