Also fneh. In fact, even fneh-er than A Very Long Engagement.
Now hold on you say. Geoff must hate movies not spoken in English! Maybe he cannot read as fast as Alex or Marni and lashes out with these acid "fnehs" as a result! We've caught you in your linguist-ist trap, Haggerty! Oh yes we have!
THINK AGAIN SUCKER. I actually really liked the last movies made by these two directors, Amelie and Hero. These just totally didn't do it for me. Jeff, you were sitting next to me. What thought you?

House of Flying Daggers

As more time passes since leaving the theater, the "fneh" I originally felt has been become more of a out-and-out disappointment. Without getting too nerdy/snobby/whatever, "Hero" was better on many levels. It had a more engrossing story, it was both more fun and more serious, it had much greater ambitions, and it also met its ambitions with greater success. This was a lesser story that was told worse. How unfortunate. Hero did some supercool stuff with color-based storytelling that was appropriate and effective. This movie did some supercool stuff with flying daggers, which I guess was also appropriate...
Yar. At any rate, I'm still going to see A Very Long Engagement in the theater, just because I have a wacky psycho love for Jean-Pierre Jeunet's movies.
Alas, I couldn't make the movie because I was getting kielbasa with my friend AJ. Sounds like I enjoyed myself more than you all did.
Does that mean the kielbasa at Veselka is better than House of Flying Daggers?
Maybe kielbasi should be the standard of all comparisons.
Just to be clear, if something is more "fneh", that means it is closer to average. Since I gave Very Long Engagement a 6, that means House of Flying Daggers would get a lower, more 5-like grade. I am really only willing to go that high because of the bamboo fighting.
As a result, HFD being more fneh than VLE is a bad thing to anyone who worked on it. That means you, Song Dandan.
