Enjoyed it, but thought it was interesting that you really couldn't tell that you were 'in Bruges' most of the time. I agree with the other comment that the style could definately be an acquired taste, but was surprised to really enjoy the darkness of this movie.<BR/><BR/>And oh, Harold and Maude is the best movie ever. I really feel like Bud Cort is communicating directly with the audience throughout the begining of the movie - kind of a 'watch this'. I covet my home-pirated VHS copy from 1989 to this day. I should probably shell out for something legal and viewable at this point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612392.post-41812267388962824422008-03-17T12:27:00.000-04:002008-03-17T12:27:00.000-04:00You're right Evan - the dwarf was Jordan Prentice....You're right Evan - the dwarf was Jordan Prentice. Dinklage does appear but it ws wrong of me to mention him and not Prentice so I reworked that passage.

I'm going to add you to our Blogroll. <BR/><BR/>On <I>In Bruges</I>, I agree with you that it quite the delicate balancing act McDonough manages to pull off. How he moves so quickly and effectively from making fun of midgets to discussing murdered children is astounding - I think Burwell's score had a lot to do with making those transitions less jolting than then should have been. <BR/><BR/>When I first saw McDonough's Oscar winning short film, <I>Six Shooter</I>, I was fairly put off. My friend who showed it to me gave me no caveats, and I found his black humor borderline infuriating. I was more prepared to see <I>In Bruges</I>, but I still find his style to be an acquired taste. I've marginally acquired it myself, but I would not be surprised if others find it unpalatable.Evan Derrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717664805927242148noreply@blogger.com
