I'm thinking about seeing this today at the Colony. Rottentomatoes.com gives it 95%, it sounds really interesting and Philip Seymour Hoffman is probably my favorite living actor.

Wouldn't you rather see it at Galaxy Cinema?

I have this to say about the film: PSH does an OUTSTANDING portrayal of Truman Capote. Catherine Keener's Harper Lee is cute as a button. And the story, for most of the film, is interesting (although a lot of people who would go out and see this probably already know the story). It will probably get some oscar nods and it might even win one.

That being said, there's about 30 minutes of the film that just drag. That, and this film isn't anything really new. It's a pretty conventional biopic. Most people will love it, though, and I have to say once again that Philip Seymour Hoffman blew this shit out of the water.

Playing at Galaxy Cinema at 2:10, 4:30, 7:10, and 9:30.

hmm, i might. the extra gas i would spend figured in with a matinee price would probably even out.

11/1/2005 1:12:33 PM

Eh, if you're coming from campus, the Galaxy is a little farther distance-wise but it takes less time to get there.

I would be surprised if he didn't win the Oscar for Best Actor for the role -- and yes, I agree that the film did drag significantly in certain parts, but Hoffman's performance made it a worthwhile experience for me.

haha, you can always count on chris cooper to be in good movies

I too thought it kind of dragged on but it kind of had to because the trial dragged on and he had to wait for the ending of his book.

i concur. It got a bit slow at that point but i thought that it fit the situation. Great movie.

I just saw this. And agree with the general opinion of the movie. Great performance from Hoffman.

1/11/2006 9:14:36 PM

Wow, two months since the thread creation and it's still playing.

1/11/2006 9:20:37 PM

saw it earlier, and let me say god damn! Philip Seymour Hoffman was amazing.


The trial dragged a bit, but jesus, the killing scenes all but made up for that. i'm kinda putting off going to bed because of one of them because it freaked me out a bit

^Nice spoiler, fuckwad

2/14/2006 3:27:57 AM

people die in a movie that revolves around a murder?

2/14/2006 2:45:17 PM

This shit is BUMPIN'. I think we've had Capote longer than any other film, even March of the Penguins.

2/25/2006 7:51:45 PM

great movie.

I just saw it last night.

pretty long though.

I'm sure it will win something tonight (best actor?)

3/5/2006 6:14:15 PM

I think best actor for PSH is a lock.

But I have a TERRIBLE track record with these things.

3/5/2006 6:23:21 PM

I think you're right

3/5/2006 6:29:22 PM

usa today was saying if PSH as capote doesnt win, terrance fucking howard will win

wtf ok?

david straitham for the dark horse
shit was glorious, he's so mesmerizing in that role

you know, we never had a real oscar thread

3/5/2006 6:29:25 PM

Fuck David Straitham, Terrance Howard was good.

3/5/2006 8:23:39 PM

i never saw h&f

3/5/2006 8:52:54 PM

TERRANCE HOWARD IS MY BOY.

MY "DAWG", IF YOU WILL.

IN ALL CAPS.

3/5/2006 8:59:04 PM

3/5/2006 9:52:40 PM

PSH just won Best Actor for his role.

3/5/2006 11:07:14 PM

so did he bark his acceptance speech?

3/5/2006 11:13:28 PM

No.

3/5/2006 11:26:27 PM

I finally got around to watching this at the Galaxy. I agree with Spookyjon, great movie, lagged for a bit, but great nonetheless.

I think PSH deserves his award and maybe now he won't be typecast as Jack Black II.

It was my first time at the Galaxy too, pretty nice little theater.

3/6/2006 3:44:55 AM

i don't really think he has been typecast as anything

ever

in fact i'm pretty sure he has the most diverse resume of any actor working now

he is like a good samuel l. jackson
