Just saw Pan's Labyrinth with eisa. Wow.

(Also, when I'm not posting via my phone I should post about my appointment with my sleep specialist; she had a cancellation on Friday so I was able to get in to see her.)

i've been wanting to see that. worth it, i take it?

Very much worth it. A warning, though: it's quite violent, and the violence is realistic.

Loved that movie. Loved it.

The guy I went with thought it was completely incomprehensible, though, so I guess opinions vary. from reading reviews, more folks get his impression than mine.

That's interesting. I thought it was painted in fairly broad (albeit masterful) brushstrokes, myself.

He saw it as two disjoint movies, one of which was the war movie and the other was the secret world. He found the transitions between the worlds jarring. I saw it as a metaphor for the differences between the men's world and the women's.

Mm, one of my co-workers saw Pan's Labyrinth about two, maybe three weeks ago, and he's been talking it up like mad. Sounds like a wowwer.

I loved that movie personally. I think it was very well done with limited use of CG.

Yes, indeed. Although for the few scenes in which you saw the Faun’s legs I was thinking, wow, that has to be a painful costume to wear! I wonder if the actor had wires to help support his weight.
