see.. it doesnt look all that great to me. especially since Elephant was the WORST MOVIE EVER. i mean, awful. boring, pompus, self-absorbed, tried too hard... just ick.

I definitely wanna see it. Gus Van Sant is one of my favorite directors. Gerry and Elephant were amazing. Let's not talk abut Last Days...it wasn't really good. but it wasn't absolutely horrible either. I think Michael Pitt ruined it really. he just overdid it all.
Gerry was just absolutely brilliant brilliant brilliant. (I made a thread bout it on here recently).
and of course then there's My own private Idaho and all the others.
see the trailer does make it look a bit so-so - i saw some other clips on youtube and they looked better - the camerawork looks quite nice and i like the idea of the time being all over the place. i thought elephant was interesting.apart from that i've not seenmuch else by van sant.
I havent enjoyed the films he's done in recent years that much but Drugstore Cowboy, My own Private Idaho and To Die For are probably my 3 favourite films of all time!
