the 'closer' trailer

so i watched 'adaptation' and thought it was really interesting, but maybe a tad too complex for my analysis. if any of you have watched it, feel free to leave your comments about it, im rather curious what others think about it, as ive seen so far around the message boards, its of mixed opinions.

im rather shocked that 'dogville' was one of the dishonorable mentions for the year's worst list. i thought that the concept of just using theatre perspective and dotted lines to represnt houses and whatnot were very creative, but apparantly, people in msn dont share that view. oh, but the rest that were mentioned were number of movies i agree was pretty horrible. 'chronicles of riddick' got the dishonarable no.1 nod, and among the list were 'whole ten yards,' 'resident evil: apocalypse' and 'dodgeball.' im surprised 'the grudge' wasnt listed, though. there were tons more listed, but since i already knew that they were gonna be bad, i didnt watch them, so i guess i dont qualify to comment on those.

'saw,' 'the village,' 'the butterfly effect' and 'a very long engagement' certainly does not deserve to be there, in my opinion.

but among the best that were listed was

lately, ive been continually watching the trailer for the movie 'closer.' i cant seem to stop looking at it, the music, the selected scenes from the movie are very impressive, even though ive already watched the movie. i remember the first time i watched the trailer before 'garden state' and was left with the very mysterious, yet convincing promises for the movie. its just the things mentioned in the trailer, with the perfect music (suzanne vega's 'caramel' always plays in my head nowadays), that keeps me looking at it. oh, and the lines mentioned, which i quote;

"Love is an accident waiting to happen,
Desire is a stranger you think you know,
Intimacy is a lie we tell ourselves,
Truth is a game you play to win,
If you believe in love at first sight, you never stop looking."


its only after you watch the movie you can really understand what that last sentence truly means.
