If it wasn't it would be filled with normal people, and lets face it, we can't let that happen.

Re: A Serious Man
Saw this reviewed by Jonathan Ross last night on bbc1, he said he liked it, but admitted it was almost 'perverse' in the way in which the film has no commerical value lol and said it was a film you have to endure to enjoy. Mixed review then.

Re: A Serious Man
I loved it. Well, apart from the start and end which were very frustrating and presumably put a lot of people off 
The middle 90 mins was cool though.

Re: A Serious Man
Click if you wanna know, tried sending a pm but didn't work.
Not sure if this is where you got up to, and my memory isn't perfect, I'm sure others can help too.
[spoiler]Ok, so Larry goes to his office and receives a phone call from the doctor about his test results, informing him that he needs to speak to Larry in person, not over the phone, about some issues.
As this happens his son is back in class, radio and all, before he hands the bigger kid the money he is owed the class is informed of a tornado warning and have to move to the basement of the synagogue, leaving the school. They go outside, he finally offers the money to the big kid, but he doesn't even take notice, the flag on the flagpole is starting to blow away and coming up is a massive tornado, forming without any warning.
Then it ends.[/spoiler]

Re: A Serious Man
Well, I hate being in the minority but it seems 85% of recognised critics are loving it according to Rottentomatoes and more astonishingly same percentage sample of the public are loving it too according to IMDB. At least on this thread its looking 50-50. There is no denying that this is probably the most debateable film of the year, I suppose.

Do you have a VR headset? If so, maybe we can play a physical sports game or even be sports/fitness partners, hit me up if you keen.

LOL! Does that mean that the people on here aren't film buffs then?
