Where the fuck has this awesome movie been? It should have come out on dvd months ago, its theatrical release was july 26th of last year. Is it not getting a dvd or something? This was definitely one of my top ten films of 2002, I hope it gets one. Can macguffin do anything for me here? Anybody?

Has anybody here seen this? I heard it was pretty entertaining and have had it on my Netflix queue forever.

Yeah, I caught it on HBO. It was extremely well done.

Oddly, the subject matter didn't catch me as much as the method of filmmaking did. It was superbly assembled.

They did a whole lot of pan-and-scan stuff, but it was out of the ordinary. They used cutouts of images that made regular pictures have a 3-d feel.

It was really well done.

You don't see the current Evans in there at all. You just hear his voice, and the old pictures.

I haven't seen anything quite like it before. It was very, very good.

Did you guys hear that Wes Anderson wants to do a narrative movie about Evans? Yeah, I guess he really loved The Kid Stays and wants to do something with him in the distant future...after the Life Aquatic picture he's doing of course. I think it sounds awesome.

Oh yeah, what about that Dustin Hoffman impression of Evans during the credits?  Was that hilarious or what?

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

I freaking laughed so hard. I'm glad I taped the whole thing with the credits and all...I love that guy, I gotta see more of his movies. I've only seen the Graduate.
