I will check it out, possibly even later tonight, since it turned out to be a 20-minute download. Pirate. :-) Anyway, I would probably watch it just for Milla Jovovich I've been a real fan ever since I learned that she made up Leeloo's language in "The Fifth Element". I even liked her in the "Three Musk- eteers" movie I ragged on recently. Trapped in a videogame production and script, I thought she did a damned good job as Milady Winter, one of the greatest female characters ever created in literature. She definitely brought a new light to the character. Since we're on the subject of movies, I'm 32 minutes into "A Dangerous Method." The fact that I've paused it to read FFL should not be taken as a positive review. :-) So far, it's got the period and its mannerisms down pat, but it's also been a curious mix of underacting on the part of heavyweights Viggo Mortenson (as Sigmund Freud) and Michael Fassbinder (as Carl Jung), and overacting on the part of Keira Knightley (as Sabina Spielrein, former patient of both, who went on to become a noted therapist herself). I'll be interested in seeing how it portrays the disputes that Jung had with Freud. All three of the original characters were certainly fundamental to the birth of the science we call psychoanalysis. A good scene involves Freud, in his first meeting with Jung, "correcting" him, Judy-style, when he calls what they're co-inventing "psychanalysis." Freud tells him in no uncertain terms that his word "psychoanalysis" is better. As portrayed here, Freud was clearly a man used to getting his own way. The main problem I have with watching this movie is that I keep chuckling at inappropriate points during the dialogue between Freud and Jung, because I keep remembering this Loose Parts cartoon. :-) [http://cdn.svcs.c2.uclick.com/c2/2928b550a05b012e2f8200163e41dd5b]
