I’m breathless. I’m enchanted. I’m in a gritty cinematic fairyland. Because my head is still **In Bruges**. I want to see this movie again. I have never in my life liked a movie so much that I wanted to see it again _in the theater_. Never. And yes I was born when Star Wars came out. Salvation. Redemption. A midget movie. Resurrection? ---

“Gritty cinematic fairyland” sounds like horrible cheesy ad copy. OK it’s a terrible phrase but all of the words are true. And they’re true all together. It’s midnight here and I’m all head-blown from this amazing movie … ---

Well geez. First time I ever started a thread in here and my thunder was already stolen. But I fuck’n loved the fuck’n film, ya. And the bit where they are looking at the tryptich - heaven, hell, and purgatory. The suffering of mankind. ---

Oh, and whoever is blessed with the joy of moderating today - might as well close this thread, since it contains a link to the more complete discussion of the film. ---

I’ll report your post for closing. Post in that other thread! It’s a movie worth talking about.
