  Funny Games movie, that will fuck with ya!

  Purely an exercise in pissing the audience off for an hour or two...

  i recently saw the original from 97 wich is a piece of acting brilliance. i'm a bit anxious to watch the new one - can't imagine how it could be any better.

  yeah, i found out later it was a remake (dutch was it?) This one is good, but it is shot for shot like the original, so you have pretty much seen it.

  must be weird to remake your own movie shot by shot...

  Ah yes, Austrian...

  fucken stupid to remake shot for shot i reckon. why? begs the question... the answer probably starts with "D" and ends with "ollars".

  I see the american poster has on it "You asked for it" - pure gold!

  i saw the original one. it´s one of the few movies where violence is shown like it really is, and not used in a distorted, stylized way. not an entertaining movie, but good for the unnerving experience IMO.

  agree - it really deserves the title 'experience'. it's hard work to watch it - impossible to emotionally withdraw from it, wich cannot be claimed for many films. (still talking about the original).

  Caché, by the same director, was also brilliant.

  Love the poster. And it has Naomi Watts so I will be watching it.

  • best poster in a long time– pascii1/4

    yup, ace. Naomi Watts is a good crier. Never better than the end of Mullholland Dr though– kelpie2/4

    how she didn't get an oscar for that peerless display of cranking I'll never know– kelpie3/4

    She's been nominated before though, I believe. it would be awesome for her to win.– Jaline4/4
