| No, it's Kathryn Bigelow's movie. Your friend just wrote it. Just kidding with you, it looks good!

| By the way for those of you that don't know she directed Point Break.  And this strange video by this strange band. I think they're called Hot Joy Order or something like that. P.S. For those of you that might not get it, the band is having some "goes to 11" parody fun. |

 | Just saw this movie, and I must say it was very refreshing to see such a well-made movie nowadays. You should thank your friend from me and my friends.

Thread Starter |  . very cool, man... ...thanks!....and glad you liked it....i STILL haven't seen it... a DP friend of mine - who does bigger hollywood stuff - for Disney, etc. was saying the same thing about the pleasing quality of the actual visual content. i think it was shot in 16mm (??)...the clips i've seen have a nice grainy, warmly-lit quality to them... i'm not a film guy, though...  . |

| The movie is phenomenal. Probably my favorite war movie yet. Great stuff. I really don't know how anyone has balls big enough to do that job!

| Gear Guru  | I just saw this movie and don't really agree. I just didn't care about the characters and it seemed kind of clunky. Not a bad movie, but best movie of the year?

| I loved it. And talking to my Iraq/Afghanistan war veteran friends, it has a different impact for us. The theme of war becoming 'normal' and comfortable really resonates with a lot of us, even if we weren't crazy EOD guys (god bless them). And every time I left to come home, I felt relieved, but also felt like I was abandoning my bros who stayed behind. James Cameron described the Hurt Locker as the "Platoon of the Iraq War", and I think he may be right.

| I enjoyed the film a lot. I took it as an expertly done subtle character study. |

Thread Starter | . Of course, I finally saw HL last summer - my wife and I enjoyed it. Saw Mark and fam at his father's funeral a month or so ago - his dad was a great guy - too bad he couldn't live to see the Oscar wins. I can't believe Hurt Locker swept up 6 awards - that is really insane. Congrats to Mark, Kathryn and company. I did think the sound editing and mixing were excellent, too. I have to say I'm surprised HL didn't get walloped by Avatar and some other films. It was just such a smaller budget film. I guess the subject really rang true for quite a few people - seems like some people here related to it, too. Anyway, very good movie - and thanks for supporting a good old friend. Mark and his family really are good people. Mark's brother, Chris is a good comedic writer, as well - based in NYC. And I'll miss his dad - he really was one super kind, intense and joyful man. . |

Yes, in addition to writing the screenplay, Mark was also a Producer - so VERY involved in the making of the film - you have no idea. It was a small budget film - by Hollywood standards - so all hands on deck : ) . | |

It was a great movie. About time that a really good , actors movie won instead of the style over substance BS that usually does. | |
