I'm watching The Exterminating Angel, it's superb!!
Is it just me or is the movie wildly ahead of its time?

I really should watch more of his works. Simon of the Desert is another superb one.

My Dinner with Andre.

I decided to take up on the challenge and sit through this. Now I want to destroy something beautiful.

You just didn't understand it. If you were a true intellectual you would have realized it's brilliance.

That's one of the few movies I've actually fallen asleep during. I'm ashamed to be a member of imdb after seeing the rating and general praise that community gives this film.

People like watching two guys at a table for 2 hours? Why not just walk into a restaurant and eaves drop?

That would be far too exciting. I'm convinced this movie was only made to be played in suicide booths in the year 3000.

You totally shouldn't be. IMDB is a haven for fanboys and pseudo-intellectuals.

The only, and I mean ONE AND ONLY, time this ever gets interesting is when they talk about death. Then this self-loving pompous jackass tries to tie in the only interesting subject with a bunch of preachy anecdotes about Tibetan flags and sitting out in the cold, completely killing anything remotely interesting in one swipe.

That's the big problem with this movie. This actor is so much in love with himself that he thinks his personal stories are interesting enough to hold an entire running time of 110 minutes. They're not. He wanted to write a biography and the guy from the Princess Bride convinced him to do a movie instead. That's why the only reason why it's noteworthy, cause no one else bothered to do something like this. If he did his biography as originally planned, no one would've given a damn.

Schindler's List. Kudos to USA network for not stripping it down and censoring the content like they do for so many other movies that come to television.

That's not actually the problem with the movie.
Actually, a movie consisting of just a two-hour conversation between two guys could be incredibly good, if only they were actually saying something interesting, with entertaining dialogue.
I listened to an hour-and-a-half Kevin Smith podcast the other week where he was talking with someone about everything that was right and wrong with The Dark Knight Rises, and it was all at once interesting and funny.
Clean something like that up, structure it a bit more, and inject some quotable dialogue and you'd have a perfectly watchable movie.
Dialogue by itself can be incredibly fun, provided that it's actually well-written.

Case in point, Quentin Tarantino. He can make a whole movie about two people talking and it'd be awesome.

Been watching/listening to this show since 2006. All they do is jabber at a table for 2 hours. So I know it depends but I watched 2 minutes of that film on youtube and wanted to kill a newborn. The kinda shit my dad would watch and think of it as highly intellectual.
