Nazi Zombies is fun, but probably because they just copied the billions of zombie games on the internet. I have played many similar games before. The campaign is annoying, from what I saw I killed most enemies with my knife.

It is. |
I feel like I'm going to be thinking about the movie for a really long time. It really managed to hit me.

What is it about?

It's about birth, death, and just about everything in between. From what I can tell, it's based around a director/playwright who seems to be a little bit insane, and who seems to have some various diseases on and off, and how everything happens to him. It seems like a dream, really, and most of the time you don't know what's really happening and what's happening in his mind. It's written and directed by the guy who wrote Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and it felt kind of similar. I need to see that one again, because I think the first time I saw it I wasn't ready for it.

Sounds good. If I ever have the chance to watch it I will.

If you like movies which are kind of hard to follow but manage to really WOW you once you've seen it, I definitely recommend it. I'm still just...thinking about it.

Does 2001 count? That movie was purposely made to be interpretable in more than one way.

Eh, as I said in the movies thread, I'm not convinced that Synedoche is as deep as you think it is. However, the first half is emo enough for me that I'll give it another chance. And as I said there, for the people who don't read that thread, I recommend most of Magnolia as the coherent, better version of Synedoche's emoness. Just pretend that Paul Thomas Anderson didn't think that parts of the soundtrack were a good idea. He unironically opens the movie with a cover of One and has a montage with music that sounds like Alanis Morisette. With the characters singing along! :/ It's also, at 188 minutes, a bit on the long side.
I'll grant however that I saw Magnolia a long time ago so it might not be as good as I remember.
And Person, don't be too fooled by Salty, at around the half way point of the movie it becomes impossible to tell what is actually real. The Genius Grant is only $500,000, there is no way he could fund these people for 17 years on that, much less build the ever expanding domes.
And Nazi Zombies is retarded.

I said it's hard to tell what's real and what's imaginary half the time.

I was thinking of playing I Wanna Be the Guy, but I don't hate myself that much.

Since I've seen New York Stories, I never want to see a film with "New York" in the title again.

You know, Alex, as funny as that cheerleader bit of yours is, it freezes my browser for a couple of seconds every time I hit a page with your posts on it - any chance you might want to remove it?

I'm fine, preparing to go to Paris to see a small apartment. The GIF will stay there a bit more in the loving memory of the cheerleader who I ate   (she was delicious). The mourning will last until I find a new image for my sig.
