Sleep Dealer was a pretty enjoyable low budget scifi

I hope Green Lantern is in this!

At the risk of getting fired, I'm going to out myself as The Playlister who likes Medicine for Melancholy.

It's an outrageous rip-off of Before Sunrise/Vendredi Soir, but it's beautifully shot, engagingly acted and the soundtrack is absolutely aces (Au Revoir Simone, The Answering Machine, Casiotone For The Painfully Alone etc)

That was a tiny bit harsh, even for anonymous internet comments. Sorry.

Yeah I think people who follow this site might be familiar with Jenkins at the very least. I didn't know the other three by name but I know of their films. I'd agree with Alex in saying Medicine for Melancholy is a really fantastic film.

Breathlessly reporting on what the fucking Green Lantern's suit will look like and giving a snarky little thing about something that sounds cool? That's The Playlist, alright.

FYI: Barry Jenkins directed one of the best films of 2009. (EIC disagrees with that assessment, but IIRC there's one or two Playlist members who don't.)

Also, not sure why this site would slag off an explosion-less indie project announced at Comic-Con in the midst of dozens of action tentpoles assaulting people in 3D.
