Speaking of Lost River (got a
critical thrashing at Cannes), here's an hour loop of
LOOK AT MY MUSCLES
Oddly enough that isn't in the theatrical cut (the uncut version of the film that de
booed at Cannes is ~10 minutes longer). I kept waiting for it to come but it never did, haha. Also, I've said before that I prefer the film's original title ("How to Catch a Monster"), however I now understand why WB had the title changed: the mystical element of the story rears its head when Bones meets Rat but then falls
completely to the wayside until the end of the film. Given that early articles and at least one recent review mention that the film is partially set in an underwater town, which is a stone's throw from not being even the slightest bit true, I can only assume the "curse" played a larger role in the original script but was significantly pared backed to the point of being virtually non-existent due to logistical or budgetary issues (which isn't to say that I was expecting Gosling and co. to literally set up a town underwater, haha).
