Posted: 9/24/12 at 2:39pmCrappy timing money wise, for me too. Ugh. At least a number of upcoming titles I really want (The Game, Rosemary's Baby, Following, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Purple Noon) aren't out yet so won't tempt me further.

Posted: 9/24/12 at 2:44pmI like Tiny Furniture alot. Lena Dunham is a genius. I've watched it several times and I bought it sight unseen. It's very nuanced and organic.

Posted: 9/24/12 at 3:07pmIf you like Girls, you'll like Tiny Furniture IMHO. It's a bit less of a comedy, but covers very similar (ie somewhat autobiographical) subject matter. I love the movie, just to be clear, since that didn't sound like a hugely glowing recommendation...

Posted: 9/24/12 at 4:09pmIf you liked Girls, Tiny Furniture is a good piece to have (plus Jemima Kirke and Alex Karpovsky are in it essentially as the templates for their characters on the show). Similar situations and pretty good for the college post-grad blues. Definitely a little more dramedy than comedy and less broad than some of the Apatow touch I noticed on the TV series. And yes, Lena's sister and mother play themselves.

Posted: 9/24/12 at 4:20pmBrazil! God, yes! I remember seeing the 132-minute release of the film in theatres and was absolutely riveted by this masterpiece. When I later saw the "Love Conquers All" edited version, I was appalled by the way the entire concept and nature of the film was altered. With those edits, I felt the film became absolutely pointless. I do think it's interesting that you will have to purchase the previous Blu-Ray release in addition to the Criterion release to view all three edits of the film on Blu-Ray.
