That has to count for something too. Renny Harlan is difficult to overcome, and SLJ has made attempts before, but Harlan ate him with a Gigantic Shark. CLEANER played as a Gala selection at last years Toronto Film Festival, and more than one person had that WTF? reaction to it being there. But then again, Revolver also played as a Gala one year.

He is a really good actor, who chooses to slum from time to time which is fair enough I guess. He can really pull it out when he wants to. Alan Arkin is horrible though. If you want proof I point you to "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Rendition" - overacting at its best (worst). Ed Harris is great in The Hours as well.

My problem was her acting - particularly later in the movie. It was god-awful. And she's usually pretty decent (Tenenbaums, Proof, Ripley, Great Expec., etc).

That's me. Attention whore. ;) As for the show (so far) - I didn't fall head over heels in love with Iron Man, though I had a good time, but some of this commentary is a bit off the wall. The product placement is an example. It's in EVERY movie and frankly, I didn't really pay attention to the car simply because it's just a car and the guy has to drive something. I didn't pick-up on any extra time given to the car (other than me saying "Hey! It's that Audi R8 that's sold out everywhere!" and that only because I'm a car fiend.) As for Paltrow and her being attracted to Tony Stark - I bought it hook line and sinker. Why the attraction? It's clear from her first entrance that they have a long standing working relationship and the way she looks at him all puppy eyed...not to mention that he's a handsome guy. Many women are attracted to the bad boys...case in point: Tony Stark. I won't disagree that she's not stand out but I though she was good given the material she had to work with. Howard and Bridges on the other hand...painful. And Kurt - you have to give Hustle & Flow a watch. I wouldn't put it on the same level as Black Snake Moan but it's pretty freakin' close. And Winter Passing - I thought it was ok. Loved it mostly for Deschanel and Harris who's quite good in it. I love Ed Harris. On with the show. @Matt – yes. That’s me. Attention whore. ;)

It is far less important to the plot then it even is in Fight Club. It has been a while since I read the book and it felt like huge chunks of the book were eliminated from the script, yet it still felt very much like Choke. They limit the self-help stuff quite a bit.
