May I recommend Up in the Air?
Along with Jason Reitman's other film, Thank you for Smoking. Both utter fucking win!

I want to see that one.
I'm going to watch 'A Prophet' tomorrow. It's had great reviews.

I am looking forward to seeing that when
I get round to it. Looks fucking stunning. I saw it was nominated for an Oscar today. Have you seen Thank You for Smoking?

No! It's on that long list of
films I want to see but haven't got round to yet... I'll move it nearer the top on your recommendation.

It's one of my favourite films
of the last 10 years. I really loved it. Better than Up in the Air in my opinion. It very much has the feel of In the Loop but in a more Hollywood manner. The characters are all so well written. Nothing left to chance. Sam Elliot as the Marlboro Man was utter win!

Sounds excellent. Good film comedy is
such a rare commodity. I shall get on the case!

I don't want to get your hopes up too much though,
in case you end up disappointed. It isn't filmed as a documentary style film, like In the Loop, but it is filmed "in the 3rd person" if that makes any sense?

I think so.
I shall watch with an open mind. I'm sure it's ace.

To be fair,
it is very rare than a foreign language film that gets hyped so much is a let down. Purely for the fact that they generally have to be fucking brilliant to even get mentioned in the UK and US.

true dat.
if they get hyped it's usually deserved, not the product of a slick publicity campaign. I'm very hopeful.
