It’s Almost Time for ‘Funny Games’

I have no idea why I insist on watching Michael Haneke’s movies, but I do. I’ve sat through every wretched scene of every disturbing movie he’s ever made, and after each movie I tell myself, “That’s it: I’m going to stop watching his movies.”

After The Piano Teacher, I really thought I was going to be able to stick to that promise, but now I’m not so sure. Although I’ve seen the original, and was completely horrified by it, I’m still going to see the remake of Funny Gamesw when it’s released in the U.S. in February, and yes, I’m dragging at least 5% of you with me to see it at the Boston Common Loews. And yes, I’ll make you eat Malaysian food from down the street before the movie, so you’ll have a wicked tummy ache and want to ralph during the movie. I’m a good friend.

Anyhoo, here’s a new trailer for the movie, this one featuring Naomi Watts as the housewife who just wants to find her ing dog, and Michael Pitt as the kid who wants to destroy her family for sport.
