Edgar, it was full of old people. Me and my friends were they only ones under age 30. The film just wasn't very satisfying. weak on history, weak on committing to the gay storyline. Just luke-warm overall. Leo was O.K. but not great. Naomi Watts looked like Scarjo for some reason. Armie Hammer was o.k.

I don't think 5-hour shoot days, 'quiet' sets, and Clint printing the rehearsal take and moving on to the next scene is worth being associated with movies like Hereafter and J. Edgar. The man has directed some great films, but I'm completely disillusioned with him – I don't think he's a great filmmaker. I think he lands great actors in his films. That's it.

Edgar wasn't very good, but I saw it last night (Saturday) in my midwestern college town multiplex, and the theater was completely sold out. Had to sit in the front row, far corner. So I guess Leo and Clint have some box office appeal, even if the subject doesn't.
