It does have a shot to finish near the bottom of my Top 10 list, but I'm not sure yet. the FORREST GUMP segment was indeed lamentable, and while I am as much in awe of Brad pitt's looks as anyone else, i think Fincher went too far with the close-ups. As we discussed in a previous post, Alexander Desplat's score was magnificent and the visuals were on-occasion surreal and intoxicating. It's a very, very good film, but is it a Top 10? Maybe, I'd say 50/50 at this point. I suspect you may be thinking in the same terms, but I could be wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36921766.post-76076562191292630692008-12-26T19:37:00.000-05:002008-12-26T19:37:00.000-05:00Hope it shows up in your neck of the woods soon, N...Hope it shows up in your neck of the woods soon, Nick! ;-)Mattie Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031967293313685427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36921766.post-41649674985549614752008-12-26T09:33:00.000-05:002008-12-26T09:33:00.000-05:00Cannot wait!
