I rented Punch Drunk Love.

I stopped about 2/3 of the way through it out of boredom. I should have rented Adaptation.

Anyone really like Punch Drunk Love?

I liked the camera moves and how it wasn't the typical Adam Sandler movie. I did get bored with it but I have the attention span of a knat.

Umm Adaptation is... kinda weird too.

Punch Drunk Love did nothing for me, and I liked Magnolia and stuff. But there's no character development on PDL, and character development is my secret crack, so...

Adaptation has some problems, but it's certainly not boring, and Chris Cooper's performance is amazing.

I looooooved PDL. I found I just felt for the main character so much...I NEEDED him to tell his sisters to shut the fuck up, and to win the girland to beat the bullies and to triumph over the whore and her pimp. You should have watched the end, there's a scene where he fights the bullies....and he confronts the pimp...omg. Wow. I was on the edge of my seat.

Hi!

I'm new to LJ. just passing through & wanted to add my 2 cents about PDL. I was ranting about it just a few days ago in my LJ.
It's a strange film isn't it? It's cathartic to see this extremely tamped down individual start to own up to and own his own anger. On the other hand, I found the whole thing a rather unpleasant exercise. To make matters worse, my DVD player couldn't handle the 6.1 Dolby encoding, so the already over-the-top funhouse soundtrack was BLARING over all of the dialogue. Ugh.
So yeah, I can't say I'd recommend it.
Give Adaptation a try.
Oh, and isn't Netflix the best thing EVER?!
