Forgot Birdman.

Looks fucking amazing but I haven't seen it yet.

It does look good, and nice to see Keaton back in the spotlight. Hopefully it will drag less than the director's previous work.

You didn't like Amores Perros? The fuck's wrong with you

I meant his last couple of films. Amores Perros and 21 Grams I both really like. But since then he has relied on that sort of structure too much without moving forward as a filmmaker. So the films have become too artsy just for the sake of it, and so they lack the focus of his first two films. Which is why I am glad to see him move in a different direction with this.
