      But then he would stop making Films, and what fun is that?

      Iron Man can't be in every movie, after all.

    I truly believe “Happiness” is an absolute masterpiece that nobody has seen and even fewer would appreciate. But it really is. Unpleasant, difficult, uncomfortable—but full of true humanity, warts and all.

      Happiness is my second favorite movie of all time (after Harold & Maude). It is a brilliant masterpiece. I remember people walked out of the theatre mid-movie. Idiots.

      Loved Happiness-one of my favorite films of all time. I’m truly surprised that so few people have seen it.

    I was really expecting to dislike this movie, but it was great. It was funny and moving (and, sure, super pretentious) all the way through.

      The part where Danny DeVito’s character was saying what he wanted to achieve, was sad and funny. Took a minute for the penny to drop that it could easily be said about Solondz’s
      I like this movie more each time I think about it.

      The faux-tech ad motif in the Weiner-Dog trailer, with its cloying Apple Pop music, kills me, by the way.

        I don’t know how I feel about a character who is notable for her “ugliness” being played by a hip skinny blonde.

          This is crystallized, I think, when Ellen Burstyn sees all of the possible lives she could have had [inWiener-Dog’s final story].


          Saw this with a Q&A from Solondz earlier in the week. This scene killed.

          He initially comes off as deliberately weird in person, but you realise after a bunch of questions that he is being ruthlessly honest.

          Loved the film.
          Fewer walkouts than Happiness, he could be losing his touch ;-)
