This is one of my worst mark films, i thought the beginning was enough to put you in a coma I liked it from then on. You have a point its just lacking something.

i wanna strangle the director in the films commentary he just goes on about how the films really about willie so marks kinda the co star. I get the impression he didnt get on with mark

did you know that mark wrote the scene where hes talkng to his mother near the end ...the all i ever wanted was to fit in scene (well technically he wet on set and let the words come flooding out)

i reckon that why he regards it as his best ever performance.

what a coincidence thats my favourite scene.

There's no rule about loving every bit of him all the time. It's not treason to not like a film he made!

TY is slow moving, it's a bit of a throwback of a narrative style. Definately not a MTV movie. If you've seen Little Odessa (Gray's 1st film), you'll realize its his way of making films.

There was some tweaking to the film from what originally was to be shown in 99 (when it was originally was supposed to come out) I don't know if you remember, but Mark & co actually did reshoots nearly a year after they were done with the film. But its been said the original cut was better than what was finally released.

My 2 cents on film: you have to remember the actor, director and viewer have different experiences. The actor has his scenes and the script. The director has all the scenes and must put them together in a coherant piece. The viewer sees the combined efforts of said actors and director (and editor/studio hacks/changes from early screenings). So many times the finished product is very different from what was pitched to the parties involved. From what I've read, Mark seems to get along with the filming units. Its usually the higher ups that makes things a pain, in this case Miramax. I'll let you search for that story yourself.

Anyway, Mark actually is good friends with Gray (the director) and has stated he wants to do more films for him (as well as Anderson & Russell). The one person who I read didn't really get on with everyone was Faye Dunaway.

she got along wih mark ok though didn't she and most probobly charlize theron judging by the interview she gave on the dvd.
ok I stand corrected about james grey but I think mark wasn't given enough attention,I mean on the speca features on the dvd you had the director praising joaquin phoenix and then slowly progressing to mark (and then stil not saying much)you had the cast praising charlize etc ..... and it just got a bit aggrevating to watch .

i think its about time for another mark and james foley reunion (those two can acieve the world record for the times people work together)if not james, Penny Marshell
i thought mark was thinking about a musical in which thomas anderson directs now that would be worth a million a ticket.

i heard that james cann loved mark in an interview he said something like, "I love him like a step son" weird yet wonderful thing to say.

I've never seen it, and also had never heard of it until I became a member of this messageboard. However, I'll see it just so that I can say that I've seen it and have a real opinion on it.

I wasn't too crazy about this movie either. I really liked the chemistry between him and Charlize Theron though.
