The Shape of Things - the whisper

"We are so ripping this off from Lost in Translation."

You're absolutely right, Sueleen. My sarcasm doesn't always take into account matters of logic and chronology.

I truly loathed SHAPE OF THINGS. Another mean-spirited piece of LaBute-ese from the pen of a man who revels in down n'dirty humiliation as a key defining characteristic of human nature. His first two movies were bold, interesting to a point, but by this go-round, the debasing of one person by another is just tired and recycled. And in SHAPE, we had to endure his arch, stage-bound, overwritten dialogue. The otherwise talented cast came off like hambones.

I'm sure Neil would say "that's just the reaction I wanted!"
